to be honest these sort of bladerunner 2049 type futures where we have adapted to the climate but our economic and political systems persist like a shambling corpse with every person directed by force to keep things operating seems like a much worse outcome than the real doomer stuff.

the idea that we could go through an apocalyptic climate crisis and nothing loving changes at all just seems like a nightmare tbh

it really is easier to imagine the end of the world than an end to capitalism

Slow News Day posted:

Only 1100 words, actually, and, no, it does suck that they are resuming the sale of leases! But I think the leftist disagreement comes down to "Biden should just ignore court orders and do whatever he wants, because that's what the previous guy did and he got away with it!"

The magnitude of the crisis requires a bit more that shrugging your shoulders and saying nothing can be done at the first roadblock

one of the biggest crack ping moments i ever had in my entire life was discovering that the abrahamic genesis flood myth likely refers to the slow and painful sea level rise that occurred at the end of the ice age. even the sumerians had their own variant. it's one of those ancient myths that could be shared across multiple societies across the world independently of one another.

the slow disappearing of land, forcing human populations to relocate and likely come into conflict with one another. also RIP all the megafauna, we probably sent them into extinction. probably one of the reasons why we had to go with horticulture and then agriculture in the end. i want to read against the grain too, that seems like a cool look at early statecraft

https://noc.ac.uk/news/global-sea-level-rise-end-last-ice-age

it was also the moment i realized that sea levels will continue to rise, unabated, no matter what we do today or tomorrow. they will continue to rise for thousands of years, just like 6000 years ago to 18000 years ago.

there is genuinely nothing you can do but enjoy your life

since we'll all be eating bugs soon enough, have they checked those for microplastic?

The world’s birds eat up to 550 million tons of insects annually, and every one of those bugs could be carrying around microplastic, according to a new study published in the journal Biology Letters.

A team of researchers came to this conclusion after feeding microplastic to mosquito larvae and then observing how the plastic remained in the insects throughout their lives. Since microplastics pervade bodies of water where mosquitoes form, it’s likely that the insects, and many others, are naturally consuming microplastics in the wild. And that means that creatures who eat bugs could be getting an extra dose of plastic in their already plastic-stuffed diets.
