grist.org How the Klamath Dams Came Down
Last year, tribes in Oregon and California pulled off the largest dam removal in U.S. history. This is their story.
You can't have an apolitical economic system, sorry. Doesn't work like that lol. Capitalism and economic systems are inherently political.
"Officially" maybe not, but Goldman was denaturalized like a decade after she should've been because the government wanted a reason to deport her and they couldn't while she was a US citizen. So they made her denaturalization retroactive. Steimer was denaturalized and deported for the "crime" of printing and distributing anti-war leaflets.
Emma Goldman and Mollie Steimer are on this list. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_denaturalized_former_citizens_of_the_United_States
Really great write-up about the history of the recent Klamath River dam removals.
I literally just got a Kobo Libra Colour a few days ago. Works great so far. I wouldn't recommend it for your back pocket though, too large for that. I think they offer smaller e-readers, but I'm not sure which ones might fit well in a pocket.
In China, you own the house, you just don't own the land. Technically, the land is leased to you. For residential purposes though, you get about the same rights to the land as you do in the US though, but in most cases it's a lot cheaper because you pay a fee every 70 or so years vs. every year that we pay property taxes. That also means that the government has fewer opportunities to take your land away from you than they do in the US (if you don't pay your property taxes in the US, your land will be sold in a tax sale after a couple years). Your heirs still inherit your lease and have the right to renew when that 70 year mark comes back around. It's a contributing factor towards the insanely high homeownership rate in China, which is around like 96 or 97 percent I think?
It's both. It's a beautiful little call and response like system they have evolved to do. Typically the males will light up while they are flying and the females light up on the ground. There are some species that are predatory though and will mimic and use the lights to hunt the others.
You taught me what a sky funeral is. Equally parts metal and ecological, thanks.
I use almond, soy, and/or oat milk for my coffee and tea and like it alright. Different strokes for different folks.
Do you mind me asking you which distro you use? I've tried running BG3 on Linux Mint and I can't seem to get the game to ever load into the world. I get all the way to the in-game menu and into the loading screen after that and then it hangs and crashes. Every time. I've tried using a couple different versions of Proton, tried out a few different versions of Nvidia graphics drivers... No luck yet.
A finger curls on the monkey's paw.
phys.org USDA grants conditional approval for new bird flu vaccine amid worsening outbreak
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has granted conditional approval for a new bird flu vaccine for poultry. This new avian flu vaccine, developed by New Jersey-based Zoetis, was approved last week after meeting safety and efficacy standards.

That's not the point I was contesting. I agree with that. I just don't agree with minimizing what Biden has done and acting like he's just passively complicit in all this while making the point that Trump is terrible. They're both awful and Biden has done way worse than "nothing".
You can think that all you'd like but it's wrong. You're literally saying that because others have done a thing, someone else doing the thing is actually doing nothing. Literal nonsense. Trump is and will be worse, but it's absolute worse cope to simp for a president like Biden who actively contributed to what's happening there. It would make for a way more productive discussion if you and everyone else would concede that instead of doubling down on this imaginary idea that Biden did nothing.
McCarthyism never ended lol
Biden actively pushed for and got more weapons sent to Israel that enabled all this. If "just didn't do shit" is actually doing lots of shit that was bad, then sure he "just didn't do shit".
Here's the first thing I found when I went looking. https://www.shareable.net/driving-change-the-story-of-the-drivers-cooperative-colorado/
I ignore the shorts. The app still has them lol. Sorry if that was unclear. I just choose to watch normal length content on there. I think you can use NewPipe and filter out shorts content with your settings though, if that's something that interests you.
I use Jerboa currently. I was using Relay for reddit and the two aren't really similar, I just switched to it because I saw it recommended the most when I was leaving reddit during the API fiasco. I haven't tried any of the other apps because I'm used to this one now and it gets the job done.
I deleted my Instagram a couple weeks ago out of anger and spite when the TikTok ban briefly went into effect. I also uninstalled TikTok and kept it uninstalled even after it was unbanned and really only have Lemmy and YouTube (not shorts). It's been a nice reset for my brain. My deleting Instagram has made a couple friends a bit sad because they liked to send me memes, but we still text so honestly I haven't missed it at all. All that to say, I highly recommend deleting Instagram.
