  The Felonious Administration wants to degrade what is left of our public lands so CEOs can buy more yachts and politicians. Last chance to comment on the proposed recision of the Roadless Rule applying to public lands, comments closed tomorrow. This site makes it easy to submit a meaningful comment. #Environment #Nature https://morethanjustparks.com/roadless-rule/

  Re-sharing this: "In that planetary lens, I see that we humans have built a great illusion. One made of flags and armies, of passports and prisons. We’ve told ourselves stories—some necessary, some vile—about who belongs and who doesn’t. Who is superior and who is other. But all of it is abstraction. None of it lives in the soil. The trees don’t care. The rivers don’t care. The atmosphere does not recognize nationality. Neither does the climate crisis." #Writing #Nature https:/...

  WTF was a Confederate flag doing at an event where AK Senator Dan Sullivan was speaking? #Alaska wasn’t even a state until 1959, and a pro-slavery flag is incongruous at an event celebrating freedom and equality. Yup’ik Mary Peltola is trying to unseat Sullivan. #Indigenous https://nativenewsonline.net/currents/sen-dan-sullivan-appeared-beside-confederate-flag-at-anchorage-church-event/

  FDR made it a wildlife refuge in ’37. It just became Georgia’s 1st UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site. Now the Trump cabal is, for the second time, pulling the US out of the organization. Part of the plan to exploit public land, and isolate the US.

  Fausto fizzeled off to the north w/o bringing much needed rain, Kilauea spewed viscous bits of mantle overnight, which makes the air kinda fuzzy, J is on the downhill side of familiarizing herself with kidney stones, and as I was racing pupdog down the driveway this morn I re-acquainted myself with the sensation of unplanned prostration on rough terrain. Fortunately, in saving face, superficial damage was limited to limbs. Now I'm “meals on wheels” for blood-hungry flies. How is your day...

  In #Idaho Prayer makes child neglect leading to death admissible. "[A] parent or guardian who chooses for his child treatment by prayer or spiritual means alone shall not for that reason alone be construed to have violated the duty of care to such child. — Ida.

  RE: https://mastox.eu/@mehdirhasan/116871247041054298 “learning from the Nordics is not as simple as raising minimum wages and seeing happiness soar. Rather, it’s the challenge of investing in human capital from early childhood through university-level education, pushing relentlessly to broaden opportunity at every level.” We have a serious deficit in #education when half of our people will buy what a grifting con man is selling. #Politics

  So I switched my 2012 macbook air, still very functional but no longer supported by #Apple, to #Linux ElementaryOS 8.1, but there's an issue with battery management- green light on charge cable, but OS showing 6% on battery & not charging. Runs ok on charger, but batt gets really hot. Can’t find an explanation/fix on forums that are in layman terms. Also issues with installing apps through flatpak. 🤷‍♂️

  Wife is migrating away from #Microsoft / Google to #Linux, & is eyeballing a repairable/upgradable #Framework 16 laptop. She has tried to install Linux on 3 of her old laptops, but the hardware is incompatible. Just wondering if anyone has experience with Framework or Tuxedo laptops. She’s not a gamer, mostly just puzzles & podcasts. I’m a Mac guy, for now, so of little help.

  Not sure how this is going to work out, my sister sent this #poem by Matt Moberg, which showed up in her email just after she read my little story about the ‘quake we had Friday. It is lovely. It’s 6 pages, over 5000 characters, & I’m only allowed 500 here.

  #Mayday say it 3 times “Mayday, Mayday, Mayday” was adopted in the 1920s as a universal distress signal, a verbal augment to the Morse Code SOS (dit dit dit dah dah dah dit dit dit) If there was ever a time to use it, it’s now.

  So the felon slaps a 10% tariff on #Alberta #Canada Tar Sands #oil, then okays a pipeline to replace the nixed XL, which will still cross the Missouri River & Oglalla aquifer, to transport the oil, just so US consumers can pay the tax & have our bloody oil for our fucking convenience and increase our #oligarch overlords' wealth. Seriously, what does it take? Who is to blame, the pushers, or the users? https://www.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/news/2026/05/trump-signs-order-...

But dysregulation seems to happen one Trump tweet at a time, over 8 billion people. thinking that if we can’t sense it, then it isn’t there underlies the entire death cult of predatory capitalism; and it’s falling apart under our feet and in front of our eyes.” the ripple effect https://accide...

  This is what’s on my mind this morning as I scroll through toots & news with a mug of joe.

  #NateHagens essay this morning, bit of a long read but well worth it. #Energy blindness, dopamine hits driving consumption, perspective of where/what we are, #evolution, net energy, #money = energy, Jevons paradox, domination of the biomass - "Once you realize humanity IS the ecosystem, the next question is, "What kind of organism have we actually become?”

  " Every protected landscape in this country just got less safe. And because this was done through the Congressional Review Act, no future president can issue a “substantially similar” protection without a new act of Congress. That's the CRA's poison pill. That was always the real game — not just opening the door to mining, but welding it open permanently.” Since the Feds apparently won’t protect our commons, it’s up to local & state action. #Environment #Nature...
