That makes some sense. I think his body of work has plenty to offer people that may write off communism as just “communism when bad”. I hope in the wake of his passing somebody out there might see this post and broaden their horizons, even if slightly. In the meantime, I will peer over the hedge into the commie communities.
I live in a giant bucket
There is so much wrong with this whole notion. But the two that are most painful is the false assertion that there even could or should be “balance” based on the idea that there are only two ways to think… at all. Absurd. And the other is folks consinuously misuing DEI as a stand-in for whenever conservatives whine about not being at the table. I see what they are attempting to say, but it gives weight that there is merit in the argument that they should be given this seat, ans it misuses the actual place for DEI initiatives to help actual people in need of them.
Is there a prevailing study at the moment? I have been led to believe there are some more empirical models in heterodox economics?
Resident. Just let it happen. I don’t know how folks would actually respond.
100%!! Probably also mentioning that Melinda’s essentially ripped off Marie’s recipes during some sheisty imporg deal.
I hope they bring back Andrew Prahlow for the music. That OST…
Some things do celebrate the ephemeral, so perhaps there’s a cultural need to wrangle these into joy. We beat illness, graduate from school, solve problems, and complete tasks. Adopting such language might help? They’ve finshed their dream of owning a bakery, lived their goal of being a writer, proudly escaped the clutches of their successful career etc…
Stateside, this is usually in reference to thornyhead rockfish species.
I think the gag is that this person reading Salon, a progressive media outlet, is a person claiming or projecting progressive values yet is dating a bigot. Progressive dating regressive.
I am replying just to let you know I have read, like, and appreciate your thoughtful reply.
Alaska has had two voting attempts to overturn RCV and will have another during the midterms. The MAGA wing has fought intensely against it and has the majority pull in the mostly red state. The major parties are doing their work to try to prevent alternative voting strategies and generally has the money and clout to do so. Grassroots movements have helped, but is difficult messaging for the average voter. In the last RCV run in Alaska spending was 10:1 towards RCV and it only narrowed out a 3pt margin. Maybe what’s happening in DC bludgening federally-dependent state might shake things up, but if we’re to believe media/social media trends about MAGA doubling down I won’t hold my breath.
What’s concern about gas? I was under the impression fiberous foods lended themselves to gas production?
At least Alaska doesn’t condone such shittery? https://www.akleg.gov/basis/Bill/Text/34?Hsid=HJR004A
A part of “breaking through the glass ceiling” is setting a trail for others where they have not been. Her story of overcoming adversity helps others in such a place have the ability to see themselves. My understanding is that it is important to help bridge our societies failures in egalitarianism, and as such those whom have done so wish for the trials to be highlighted so they can be addressed, to serve as beacons for others in a similar plight, and to validate their negative experience to peoples that would pretend it does not exist. The latter being a kind of erasure.
The exchange in this thread is inspiring. Thank you.
The tech is real, legit, and overcomes a handful of stationary storage issues. It is not without its tradeoffs, but will likely become a contender at the grid level. Maybe, once commodified, practical for the residential user. This project is not novel with respect to the type of battery. What’s interesting here is that this intends to democratize/open the resesarch, planning, and development. The group appears to have the technical chops, so this seems well worth following. Thanks for sharing.
Section 504 may on the chopping block federally soon, but more critically is Texas v. Bacerra. Please check if your state is joining and call your reps asap. Talk to your sped teachers and fellow parents too.

Watch out, his supporters will start calling it “Arc de Trump” non-ironically.
