The all-purpose heavy duty Climate Chaos thread (sprinkled with hope).
I'm not asking to be bating, or to be right (I wish I were wrong about all this), or put anyone down. I really don't get it. Greta Thunberg asks this questions in this very direct, almost confrontational talk seen here: https://www.ted.com/talks/greta_thunberg_the_disarming_case_to_act_right_now_on_climate?language=en She…

A thread about Bill Maher
I know you're not all Maher fans but starting at 2:30 (please post a link with just the last part if you have one, thanks!) in this video, Maher sums up what is really going wrong in this election cycle and American politics in general and probably in our society as a whole. And aren't most of us guilty of incivility at…

Ukraine
Will putin on the ritz invade? Should the US and NATO go to war over Ukraine? Does it make a difference if its a "border excursion," like running some tanks over a farmer's field, versus a full-on invasion? Personally, I'm not sure the US should get involved, being anti-war, but on the other hand, I'm not sure not coming…

Canadian Politics Redux
I guess having a new thread goes nicely with having a new government. :) So Trudeau is ending Canada's bombing campaign in Syria and redirecting that money to more humanitarian efforts. I for one and very happy about this. That is more along the lines of what Canada is about IMHO.

Keeping Men out of Women's Sports
BC soccer supports inclusion. This allowed XY chromosome children (genetic males) to play on the field with my daughter at the provincial championships this weekend. While my daughter interacted with the larger XY chromosomal goalie, she suffered an injury and her vision is now impaired. I wish that I never co-founded…

Two more weeks on AMT
Hey folks. My subscription is set to expire November 4th, and I won't be renewing at this point. Pearl Jam hasn't been my band for ages, and this discourse has become too toxic for a person with far too little resilience at this point in time. To the folks who have made this a stimulating, fun, educational, moving,…

SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States)
I figured since the death of RBG, with so much attention being cast upon this judicial body, it was time for a thread of its own. I just read an article that two justices, Alito and Thomas, have "lashed out" at the decision that paved the way for legalization of same-sex marriage. Blows my mind that (at least) two justices…
