Ate My Balls Redux posted:https://thinkprogress.org/exclusive-elevated-co2-levels-directly-affect-human-cognition-new-harvard-study-shows-2748e7378941/ Thanks for posting, sorry if I was being a groggy grognard earlier. Historically since the 60s, CO2 concentrations have increased from 300 to 400 ppm, IIRC. They compare 500, near what we have right now, to concentrations nearly double or triple that to show declines in cognitive functioning, which would take a few centuries at current rates. Thankfully, I suspect society will have crumbled out from the other effects of global warming before it starts making us dumber. That being said, I'm really impressed that even that sort of atmospheric change is able to effect our internal acid base homeostasis. We've gotten pretty good at dealing with high CO2s such as... when you hold your breath for a 10 seconds

The end to Blackkklansman is a real gut punch. It was a great idea by Lee to include that footage at the end. You spend 2 hours watching the fictionalized version of real events, and laughing at the idiot klansman where appropriate. Then BAM, the real footage of the real consequences of that ideology cuts to the bone.

We may not have "fake media" but what we do have is a media apparatus so loving shell-shocked by the events of the last two years that they are desperately trying to cling to any shred of normalcy that they can perceive in the hopes that gravity will reassert itself. So when Trump goes two hours without hooting like a baboon and throwing feces at other world leaders, they immediately publish hot takes like that one from NBC earlier--a take, incidentally, which is not only hilariously short-sighted given the events of the last two years, it's also a loving bald-faced lie. He's been making GBS threads himself on Twitter every day even with Bush 41 dead, and if NBC had bothered to check his Twitter feed maybe the piece would have died on the editor's desk.

Guze posted:They desperately want he to be a "normal" President. Yeah.... quote:"He’s pitching a great game right now," said Sean Spicer, Trump's former White House communications director. "The last six, seven, eight days have been the best string of days in his administration."  quote:Susan Rice, the former national security adviser to President Barack Obama and no fan of his successor, took to the pages of the New York Times Tuesday to note the president's performance in Buenos Aires. It wasn't exactly praise. Then again, it wasn't criticism, either: "News Flash: No Major Damage Done at G-20!" screamed the headline.  quote:She had expected him to do what he normally does, she said — to infuriate allies, embolden adversaries and generally embarrass the U.S. on the international stage. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised. Those are some low standards indeed! quote:Despite the widely anticipated wave of mass firings that was expected to follow the election, he has so far kept his White House staff and Cabinet largely intact, with former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a longtime irritant to the president, the only major player who has been discarded in the month since Election Day.  So, now Sessions being fired and replaced with a stooge for Trump is "well, he only fired ONE person, that's not a big deal right" after only a few weeks? That's damned impressive memory holing! gently caress this country to death, JFC. Burn it all down. EDIT Fritz Coldcockin posted:This.

Ate My Balls Redux posted:I was reading an article last year that posited that the CO2 concentrations in the global atmosphere have actually made the entire population SLIGHTLY dumber. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations aren't high enough to affect human cognition. You'd need atmospheric CO2 to be at around 1000ppm, and if we get to that point we are so hilariously hosed as a civilization that it's probably a good thing we'll be too stupid to understand what's going on. Emissions that lead to a 4.0C rise by the end of the century will still probably only mean atmospheric concentrations of around 800ish ppm. The main finding of the study that you're talking about was that cognition is affected at lower concentrations than previously thought, and you can potentially find those concentrations in enclosed spaces like cars or buildings since roughly 1000ppm was considered to be safe. So basically expect rich people to start installing CO2 scrubbers in spaces that they have to occupy sooner or later.

HappyHippo posted:The lame duck session is a dumb idea that needs to be abolished Yeah, we need to move to the UK-style “as soon as you lose, they change the locks and you can find your personal poo poo outside in a box” transitions. The GOP is gonna get away with this poo poo in WI and they’ll keep doing the same thing to every state, county and city post where they lose control. Literally sabotaging society and government to fail when you lose your post (so your team can bitch out the winners and blame them for said ails in the next election) should be punished with lifetime prison sentences in super-max style federal penitentiaries, with zero chance for parole. They’re taking anti-democratic measures meant to ruin peoples’ lives and livelihoods as a way to get back at the people who voted against them, which is like the rich white guy’s version of a poor white guy gunning down concert goers for not giving them special attention for being white and male.

Well, to be fair, Americans have washed the KKK and their breed of homegrown fascists of any animus towards other Caucasian groups like Catholics, the Irish, Polish, Italians, everyone in existence and reframed their historical context as only hating brown people. I suspect a significant portion of the electorate has no idea that the KKK targeted white people(they reeeeeally hated the Catholics) as much as they targeted black people. In short, if you are "other" in these cretins eyes, then you have always been a target. American Textbooks are written in a way that really undercuts this and that does an injustice to fighting fascists because it leaves people with an out because "they aren't being targeted."
