after a quarter of a century in environment and sustainability work, it 💯 tracks that there's no money or interest in an area of research that's really fundamentally important to human wellbeing

(but there's a trillion dollars for slop bots and murder robots, obviously)

it's not Greta who radicalized me but the way that mainstream news and commentators have condescended to, ridiculed, dismissed, and smeared her has absolutely contributed to my middle aged rage.

It's a good film but a much better audiobook - completely bonkers

yeah, Franco was very accommodating towards Germans who suddenly felt the urge to emigrate after WWII ... Denia was infamous in that regard

but there's only about six Danish people in the world, so honestly nobody cares - Scandis are barely a blip on the radar that get lost among the twenty billion Germans and Brits

true... but the Norwegians are worse

the real problem is, as ever, the wealth disparities driven by rapacious capitalism - basic necessities are unaffordable for average Spaniards while northern Europeans retire to enclaves of villas on the Costa Blanca, and none of that is a good thing

And arguably, English people are just as awful towards the Irish and the Poles as they are to Spaniards and Italians.

I think that's probably a LOT more so in America.

There's definitely a lot of (often genuine) arrogant superiority coming from northern Europeans towards southern Europeans but honestly the Germans and Scandinavians do it more than the British.

Balearic people are white Europeans, though?

Wait what? Does... does.... does this mean transphobia and misogyny go together? And it turns out that Wes Streeting, the man who deliberately chooses THAT hairstyle, is actually a misogynist? This is staggering news. 🙄

Having lived in Norway for three years, this tracks. People there are offended by flavour.

(don't a lot of white Midwesterners have Scandinavian ancestry)

My favourite dinosaur is the chicken, and I eat its eggs for breakfast so I win.

Anyway I think the next masculinity food obsession is gonna be fibre. Hulking gym bros are gonna be roughagemaxxing their protein shakes with ladlefulls of psyllium husk and boasting about the size, weight and volume of their gargantuan morning shits on Instagram.

Pah. Raw beef is for ninnies: I ate ground raw pork as a kid. (Raw minced pork eaten on bread is a thing in Germany. Ground raw pork presented in the shape of a hedgehog with olive eyes is considered party food. Google "Mettigel" at your peril.)

(In unrelated news, I turned vegetarian at age 14.)

nope, feeling joy at witnessing hooliganism, mindless destruction, and other people's suffering isn't "nd joy"

it's the joy felt by bullies when their mob beats the living shit out of the quiet, weird kid who never harmed anyone and was just trying to learn about beetles

I'm autistic and my special interest is punching Nazis who claim that autism=fascism

as an autistic person it PISSES ME OFF when these miserable little cunts insinuate that there's anything "autistic" about being a fascist

fuck these people

💀

I mean tbf "haha" could really just have been "lol" - I hate it when people aren't succinct

listen, the grown-up professional thing to do is have your AI "assistant" read and auto-respond to all the AI generated trash in your inbox while you pick dingleberries out of your bumhole and watch the world burn

haha they misspelled "Reginalds"

the casual use of the r slur definitely strengthens his denial /s

I Would Do Anything For Appreciation (But I Won't Do That)

we need a Paddington prequel in darkest Peru where he witnesses Amazonian clear-felling and indigenous genocide and gets kidnapped by a criminal gold mining mafia and sold for money to Pentecostal missionaries who drag him across the Andes to Lima where he gets stuck in a 15 hour traffic jam

And how decorative is she gonna look after she's run bare arsed around the apocalypse and the lack of PPE means she's covered in abrasions and snake bites, plus she's got her femur poking out of a gaping wound because she fell down a cliff thanks to inadequate shoes

idk about Jumanji but ya know what I am TIRED of? The depiction of apocalyptic/ adventure scenarioss with several men in practical, comfortable, protective clothing and one young woman in a bikini. Is she a protagonist or is she decoration?

they can fucking afford the costs of traveling to the fucking protests

the idea of the Vatican's head honcho being perceived as "woke" frankly makes me wanna get off this planet...

(when is Artemis III? Do they need a useless middle aged lesbian?)

is that Satan descending in the background

maybe try a different mattress
