Damn I'm tired of the lack of actual critical thinking here. It's all scorched earth all the time.

Does news exist solely as a means of providing you with surprises?

The purpose of uncovering evidence is not to surprise you, it is to strengthen a case with information.

The event is hosted by Foundation for American Innovation… and 12 other policy organizations. This is such a reach if you think about it in good faith for more than ten seconds.

Who is?

I agree. And you think you can convert the "average citizen" by being abusive online?

Because I have no interest in your timeline?

Well, it's nice you are still using your imagination. Good luck.

In a discussion of rooftop solar -- something we should ALL be supporting -- you shifted the conversation to murdering immigrants and Nazis because Hayes used a recent concept. If you believe that Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson are in favor of Nazis and murdering immigrants, you're deluded.

Indeed. So am I. Unfortunately, many in "that industry" react more with knee-jerk emotions rather than actual thought, and a tendency to go from zero to 100 in judging. Like you did.

Maybe not, but neither will political purity tests and language trolling. It's gone too far.

I saw. I'm not into political purity tests. I'm trying to end climate change.

What if -- and I'm just spitballing here -- what if we focused on actual important things instead of playing language cop? Maybe we could get something done on climate change. But no -- let's argue about words.

Keep up.

Oh stop.

I think you owe it to us to elaborate.

Well, that tells me that maybe I, a Democrat since 1976, don't belong in the Democratic Party either. The DNC has become a party of moderate Republicans, and it has been clear for a while that they take for granted actual liberals. So yeah, thanks Tom for letting me know.

Almost. The last word should be narcissIST

New business model for theater owners?

I will vote for any Democrat presidential candidate who will commit to making @billmckibben.bsky.social (or a McKibben designee) the head of the Dept of (Renewable) Energy. @democrats.org take note.

???

And then do solar panel industry.

@ezrakleinbot.bsky.social and @dkthomp.bsky.social : shouldn't @billmckibben.bsky.social 's "Here Comes the Sun" feed right into the central argument of "Abundance"? McKibben says there is a huge backlog of solar power held up by too much red tape!

It's just a reach. Just say it -- there's no reason to get clever about it.

@billmckibben.bsky.social and @chrislhayes.bsky.social really got me focused and energized about the amazing potential of solar energy and wind power. Solar strengthened my sense of agency, that I can make a difference as an individual. Reading McKibben's book now!

Trump is not one of them

Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance

Ummm...the link between the Warhol quote and your second sentence is tenuous at best.

Nor should it be condemned as dangerous. As human beings, we have agency.
