This does not appear to be well known: kale really needs colder temperatures in order to taste best. It’s sweetest when it has been through a frost or two. Unfortunately that’s not always maximally profitable for Huge Giant Corporate farms and so your kale is grown in warmer temperatures and tends to be bitter.
On the plus side, it’s incredibly easy to grow yourself.
“didn’t change anything”
Which is exactly how you know that all the hand-waving over Israel is largely performative. If you are not affected by domestic issues and the Really Bad Shit about to hit the fan then you can afford to be Very Very Concerned about issues that don’t affect you directly and personally.
Not all of us have that luxury.
LOL. Nice headline there. Not biased at all nope.
Harris didn’t “back” Israel’s genocide. She just failed to be sufficiently performative in her condemnation of it and failed to distance herself from her own administrations pro-Israeli policies. If you think that’s not all hand-waving and that somehow Trump will be less supportive of Israel’s genocide I have some gold colored sneakers for sale.
She did condemn it to be sure, but not enough to pass the purity test of those here in the US who felt that that acting against that genocide was far and away more important than preventing Americas rapid descent into a Christo-fascist oligarchy. Which, not incidentally, will happily support Israel’s complete and total erasure of the Palestinian people.
Well done! Good job!
And angry people in denial who STILL feel a need to parade their concern like it’s a fucking medal.
How many voters do you think can find Gaza on a map?
But they sure can see that Harris is a woman.
It’s fake news. You gotta be careful with these internet “sources”. Do your research!
Mmmhmm. Ok.
But you assume I’m saying “don’t worry about it”. I’m clearly not. I’m saying don’t use click-bait headlines that are factually inaccurate so that we can worry about the RIGHT things. Ie that there almost certainly will be a list AND that Bondi will lie through her teeth to hide that fact. If we do this then we can better understand how to expose said list AND the lies.
WTF?
What’s next a background check for breathing? Because, you know breathing is a clear and obvious pre-cursor to criming of all kinds.
I don’t believe it’s helpful to be hyperbolic about these things or to come to conclusions supported only by speculation and innuendo. Let’s please be clear-eyed in how we handle the coming shit storm.
Noted Trump sycophant Bondi did NOT “admit” there is an enemy list. That’s opinion on the part of TNR and it takes a certain amount of hand waving to get to “there is an enemy list”. She said “There will never be an enemies list within the Department of Justice”.
I’m not saying there isn’t an enemy list - there is in Patel’s book after all - but this headline is at best deceptive.
Absolutely. They could also have given us a lot of important information on how to handle it all through cultural burning. Instead we made their practices illegal and jailed/killed native americans for doing what they’ve done for millennia in part to “protect” timber “resources” but mainly to drive them off their land.
An interesting tangent here is that the ecosystems here are co-adapted to these cultural practices. IOW, native burning of areas has co-existed with and altered the landscape over thousands of years. The notion that this land was “untrammeled by man” is racist fiction.
Yosemite Valley is a good example of this and you can even compare what it looked like in photos from the 19th century. It was predominantly wide-open meadow with widely spaced very large trees that were extremely resistant to fire. We suppressed fire and now it’s incredibly susceptible to it. Duh.
The good news is that we are finally waking up to the importance of this historical native knowledge and their practices.
Here’s an interesting recent article on this: https://www.savetheredwoods.org/redwoods-magazine/autumn-winter-2024/banned-for-100-years-cultural-burns-could-save-sequoias/
And this one talks about Yosemite and nearby areas in particular: https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/how-indigenous-practice-good-fire-can-help-our-forests-thrive
Concur. I use Duplicati-> Backblaze.
Great post but I have one quibble.
Californians did not build their houses in wildfire country
In fact we did. Most of the state is comprised of fire-adapted ecosystems. I think it would be more correct to say that we built in wildfire country when the impacts of wildfire were manageable.
I only mention this because I believe it’s important to accept that fire is good and a part of these ecosystems that we need to embrace if we are going to live in them. It’s not that climate change has “introduced” fire it’s that it, the scale of human development, and over a century of misguided fire management has made it so dramatically impactful.
Hyponatremia is actually a thing. A very bad and dangerous thing.
What momentum?
As we like to say here in Ummerica: All hat no cattle.
People love violence and extra judicial killings “in the name of justice” as long as it’s on TV or the internet and they are nice and safe at home. Guns? Yeah, fun to go pew pew in the backyard or parade around with. But actually get involved or do something like stand up to an authoritarian government? “Ha ha no thanks you first.”
Hey dipshit? That’s your response? ARE YOU 12?
No doubt you will be first to sign up for said militia. Being so brave 'n all.
How very brave of y’all to downvote. Undoubtedly you are all organizing your state militias as we speak.
How very brave of you to post this.
No shit. But do you automatically assume that or do you merely speak figuratively when saying that about men?
