@arstechnica Until (if ever) China allows transparency it's basically all conspiracy theorizing to speculate on covid's exact origin.

@KimPerales The DOJ is quite busy with a whole lot of cases. We're approaching a point where more government by the people might be necessary.

I know it's not popular because of the 'systemic versus individual' efforts we adopted decades ago, but I really think that we need to make flying unpopular for at least a little while until we get global GHG emissions under better control.as global air traffic increased, CO2 emissions from burning oil grew by even more than those from coal, at 2.5%, with the aviation sector responsible for about half the surge. Oil emissions are running below prepandemic levels, the IEA said.Globally, air traffic in 2022 was at about 69% of prepandemic levels, but in December 2022, total air traffic rose 39.7% compared with December 2021, the International Air Transport Association said. https://www.iata.org/en/pressroom/2023-releases/2023-02-06-02/#:~:text=Globally%2C%20full%20year%202022%20traffic,of%20the%20December%202019%20level.

@pthenq1 @KimPerales If most of the progressives leave a state or a country that are privileged enough to be able to than that condemns those less privileged to even worse policies and lets the conservatives win.I hope that there are enough brave men and women in South Carolina, Florida, Montana, Kansas, Texas, etc. to provide our children with hope for a better future personally.

The labor bureau estimates that there will be about 80,000 job openings for electricians every year until 2031, as Democrats push to electrify everything — from vehicles to home appliances — to combat climate change.The 2021 median annual wage for solar panel installers was $47,670, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, while the median annual wage for wind turbine technicians was $56,260.For petroleum pump system and refinery operators, the 2021 median annual wage was $79,340, the data shows.

@publius A lot of people seem to think that contributing "only" 3 or 4 percent to an existential threat makes them blameless for sure. I disagree.

The “Plogging Across Kentucky” event is taking over the Bluegrass state this weekend. Plogging means picking up litter while walking or jogging. It originated in Sweden and became popular during the pandemic. https://www.herald-dispatch.com/_zapp/plogging-across-kentucky-event-combines-exercise-and-picking-up-litter/article_aad80e38-eb40-5501-956e-e91ace224a17.html

On the thread of the Bluegrass state here's a yodeler with an interesting story. I hope her career in music with her "Momager" works out okay. https://www.lex18.com/community/best-of-the-bluegrass/13-year-old-yodeling-cowgirl-from-laurel-county

And just because this 13-year-old yodeler also came up in my search and because you know #Ukraine is important to keep in people's minds, plus yodeling on Sunday is so good for the soul. https://youtu.be/CHspo7fphCI

@Tilopa The GOP has become the anti-democracy political party yet there are still some Americans that complain about Democrats.

@Teri_Kanefield Rupert Murdoch also owns the Wall Street Journal so that organization should be treated as dishonest too imo.

@ravenonthill @rvawonk At this point with Russian State Media rebroadcasting people like #TuckerCarlson and #RandPaul their covert operations to cause civil unrest in the U.S. is pretty much overt.I hate that our media describes our domestic terrorists attacking our energy grid as being on the far-right instead of coming right out and acknowledging that they're Republicans.

@dangillmor If Democrats speak out about things they can have no impact upon and lose their elections thereby giving the GOP more power that would be contemptible.

@inklings @mmasnick Saying the Democrats controlled the Senate in the 117th Congress is only said by people with no knowledge of America's political landscape and it seems like those people enjoy trying to assign the blame for Republican actions upon Democrats in order to maintain their neutrality and "blamelessness" for our government.

By the late 1950s, the water was no longer suitable for drinking and, in 1964, half of it was filled with debris and silt flowing in from the nearby subdivisions that sprang up during a massive population boom in Fairfax County. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/05/lake-accotink-urban-runoff/
