Humanist Climate Action interview: Dr Helen Czerski on oceans, humanism, and the planet’s life support system Dr Helen Czerski is our patron, Professor of the Environment and Society at University College London, and a scientist who specialises in the physics of the oceans. At our Convention in Sheffield last...

"So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will. Standing up against those simplifying assumptions is fundamentally a humanist thing to do."

From a recent interview I did... here's the rest:

Oh.

“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

I was a middle schooler protesting Bush back then. It was nothing but a down hill slide until Obama was elected. Then, Obama let all the finance bros who caused the recession off the hook and it's been nothing but a slow crawl ever downward since.

This is a new low, but so was yesterday

Elements from Egyptian and Greek mythology are combined in this delicate figure. The view taken here is that Anubis is represented, wearing military costume and breastplate that signify his role as a fighter against the enemies of Osiris. He holds a staff topped by a cone-shaped object - the thyrsus carried by followers of Dionysus with whom the Greeks equated Osiris. In his other hand he carries a falcon. On the other hand, the snout and ears appear short for Anubis and more like those of a cat, and the short dress can be worn by Artemis who is associated with Bastet. The identity of the figure is, therefore, not certain. Roman, from Egypt, 2nd-3rd century CE. Height: 1 15/16 in. (4.9 cm) Met Museum, New York (67.190)

This l’il fella is a gold amulet from Roman Egypt, possibly representing the Egyptian god Anubis as a defender of Osiris-Dionysus. He wears a military tunic and breastplate, signifying him as a defender of Osiris; he also holds a thyrsus of Dionysus, equated with Osiris. 🏺 1/

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

"Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society."

Extreme individualism always ends up becoming solipsism.

Capitalism and this individualism/solipsism dynamic power one another like a hamster on a wheel.

In short, we built a system that rewards us for being selfish and now it's spinning so fast that we can't stop it on our own.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Be fair, they don't understand much about their own religion either.

World’s largest krill harvester at centre of row over ‘blue tick’ sustainability label Aker Qrill is facing criticism of its fishery management amid calls by environmentalists for curbs on Antarctic fishing of the keystone species

The fishing of krill is putting marine wildlife at risk.❗

To protect this fragile ecosystem, the fishery needs to be paused until stronger management and safeguards are in place.

Gotcha.

The ones I know who think that also think the other stuff. I've never heard people who think Jews believe that about Jesus and NOT also think the other stuff, but they do probably exist out there.

This is why people of European descent need to decolonize their own history/minds and return to good old European paganism.

Not necessarily for any religious reasons, but to openly give sacrifice to old gods using Christian captives.

It's more like "Christianity: the prequel" to them. These are also the kind of Christians that care more about their own twisted interpretation of the old testament as being "more pure" than the new testament and also think that Catholics are pagans because they worship Mary and saints.

You have clearly forgotten the lesson that the band Rammstein taught us all many moons ago.

We're all living in America.

Small Streams Hold the Key to Healthy Rivers New state water quality report confirms Stroud Center science: restoring healthy rivers demands upstream focus.

If I see anymore fighting and stupid posts from tribalistic Dem Harris supporters or idealistic leftists that are just kicking up fights between each other over the most stupid crap, I am seriously going to join the libertarian party.

There is no room for ideological purity when the planet is in peril.

It doesn't matter what your tribe is or how you identify. If we don't either fix the sinking ship or get in the life boat the only way everyone is going to identify as is as a corpse.

Fix the big problem first.

Thanks for the update. Maybe people in power should do something about that.

These damn pocket computers aren't good for us

That's the option I am going for, and damn the consequences.
