Degrowthers are now just as big an enemy as fossil fuel companies and other evil entities. Both will destroy us all, given the chance, just for different reasons.

As someone who treated themselves awful in their 20s I cannot understand all these young people posting feeling awful and in constant pain post 25 like, what are you doing are you undiagnosed I spent a solid three years drunk and don’t recall the kind of pain they talk about

It’s obesity. Mostly.

The disruption in healthcare services caused by Covid-19 may have led to an estimated 239,000 maternal and child deaths in South Asia, according to a new UN report.

We must kill the children to save the children.

Despite the hyperbole and apocalyptic predictions based on a single laboratory study, it turns out everyone was completely wrong about Omicron and reinfections

Huh.

SHOCKED. Ok, not really.

For two decades that I've covered the religious right, for instance, they've clung to the notion that sexual desire only develops in teenagers because adults let them know sex exists. And so long as we just veiled it in mystery and said "wait for marriage," they'd never want it.

To be fair, a whole heap of liberals believe this too. And it seems like these idjits are increasing in number all the time.

US library defunded after refusing to censor LGBTQ authors: ‘We will not ban the books.’ Residents of Jamestown, Michigan voted this week to shut down town’s library rather than tolerate certain LGBTQ books.

Lysistrata was banned in my town when I was a kid. Which of course caused dozens of us to read a 2,000 year old Aristophanes play that we otherwise would’ve had no idea even existed (well, most of us). I was passing around copies of that thing like Soviet samizdat. And I do mean literal copies, made on a Xerox machine.

That ban worked out very well. It converted many people to readers who otherwise wouldn’t have been. And it made Aristophanes a “bestseller” in my town for a little while.

HBO Max Has Been Removing Content Without Warning for Weeks.

This is why you must pirate everything. Some of those shows and movies will never be seen again and will have no documented existence except in articles like these.

No one seems to much care, but living in a world where nothing is owned, where media and culture can just be disappeared like this, seems like a pretty terrible one to me.

people of that era were really into grooming their wooly mammoths. https://t.co/ydE4bBx7pW

Nah, we just liked really tall and pointy hats. Yep, that’s it.

Many ideological movements in the U.S. have beclowned themselves in recent years, but perhaps none so much as libertarianism.
