Did you mean "burn it to the edges!" ?

“We must prioritize policies that protect our economy and our way of life. CO2 is an essential nutrient for mass, driving growth and boosting plant production. According to the CO2 Coalition, higher CO2 levels have led to healthier crops and improved food security worldwide,” said a UCP member speaking in favour of the policy who cited the notorious CO2 Coalition.

Well, that is the core of conservatism (the first bit).

The UN seems to be running out of vocabulary to describe how serious the danger is.

Writing code is bad!

Writes condensed configurations and properties files in 3 different languages instead. Cloud deployment uses yet another source of configurations and properties.

Doesn't write documentation for configuration and properties.

Ah, yes, that's much more readable.

Oh, I don't just stop at capitalism. My problem with wellness goes into the competitive "superpower" fitness, the individualism, which is the twin brother of fascist supremacist ~~thinking~~ personal beliefs. They go hand in hand.

When the rich assholes are rich enough, they start to realize that money isn't enough. Health is more important, and "performance" even more so as a type of peak health, peak... exploitation of the body. Hence, the obsession with competitive longevity and health as a way to show both status and "superior" genes / "divine" providence. You can see that in a different form in the TESCREAL ideology. There's a type of passive fascism: they want to outlive the "other", to outperform them (instead of murder). Of course, this fits perfectly with the object of structural violence which is this indirect murder by negligence and by making entire environments more dangerous; also like collateral damage. Like what the IF are doing in Gaza now: genocide by starvation, exhaustion, disease, lack of water -- all seemingly ancient and "natural" ways of dying that don't directly point to a killer. And that's how you can see the bridge between wellness and fascism: they want private health, they want structural violence, they hate public health, aid, welfare and so on.

You have to wrap your head around fascist optimism; it's this dyad where deceit/disinfo/grifting occurs simultaneously with a naive belief that it might all be true, at least for them; like the story of an illusionist who believes that they can figure out true magical superpowers, if only they find some occult solutions or believe hard enough to "manifest" (yes, 'The Secret' too).

The depressing thing is that this bullshit is everywhere, which means that fascists have a very large pool to recruit from.

A lot of redevelopment and migration is needed.

 

For decades, oil and gas magnate Charles G. Koch and his late brother David fought vigorously for environmental deregulation, including by supporting groups that sow doubt about the science of manmade climate change. Foundations linked to Koch gave at least $9.6 billion to 15 Project 2025 groups since 2020. But four of the lesser-known families — Bradley, Scaife, Seid, and Uihlein — gave even more, and all six family fortunes helped to fund Project 2025 groups that have denied the science of manmade climate change.

Different study:

Early-life microbiota seeding and subsequent development is crucial to future health. Cesarean-section (CS) birth, as opposed to vaginal delivery, affects early mother-to-infant transmission of microbes. Here, we assess mother-to-infant microbiota seeding and early-life microbiota development across six maternal and four infant niches over the first 30 days of life in 120 mother-infant pairs. Across all infants, we estimate that on average 58.5% of the infant microbiota composition can be attributed to any of the maternal source communities. All maternal source communities seed multiple infant niches. We identify shared and niche-specific host/environmental factors shaping the infant microbiota. In CS-born infants, we report reduced seeding of infant fecal microbiota by maternal fecal microbes, whereas colonization with breastmilk microbiota is increased when compared with vaginally born infants. Therefore, our data suggest auxiliary routes of mother-to-infant microbial seeding, which may compensate for one another, ensuring that essential microbes/microbial functions are transferred irrespective of disrupted transmission routes. https://www.cell.com/cell-host-microbe/fulltext/S1931-3128(23)00043-4

These cows, confirmed to have been infected with avian influenza (H5N1), were left exposed without any warning signs or biosecurity precautions. The footage was deemed too graphic for publication.

"What was so shocking was that there was so little signage around anywhere telling the public about avian influenza and warning them of the biosecurity risks," Heath told Newsweek.

Photos of dead cattle show bird flu is overwhelming Tulare County. How did the virus get in?

This news article adds photos, more context, and local details about how the virus came into the biggest "dairy" region in the US.

The cow pharmers are throwing the dead cows on the side the road like trash because that's where it's most convenient for the trash "rendering" truck to collect the bodies. It's not really surprising that they're ignoring biosecurity. What is important is that they're failing to contain this epidemic.

Humans as Agents in the Termination of the African Humid Period

There is great uncertainty over the timing and magnitude of the termination of the African Humid Period (AHP). Spanning from the early to middle Holocene, the AHP was a period of enhanced moisture over most of northern and eastern Africa. However, beginning 8000 years ago the moisture balance shifted due to changing orbital precession and vegetation feedbacks. Some proxy records indicate a rapid transition from wet to dry conditions, while others indicate a more gradual changeover. Heretofore, humans have been viewed as passive agents in the termination of the AHP, responding to changing climatic conditions by adopting animal husbandry and spreading an agricultural lifestyle across the African continent. This paper explores scenarios whereby humans could be viewed as active agents in landscape denudation. During the period when agriculture was adopted in northern Africa, the regions where it was occurring were at the precipice of ecological regime shifts. Pastoralism, in particular, is argued to enhance devegetation and regime shifts in unbalanced ecosystems. Threshold crossing events were documented in the historical records of New Zealand and western North America due to the introduction of livestock. In looking at temporally correlated archeological and paleoenvironmental records of northern Africa, similar landscape dynamics from the historical precedents are observed: reduction in net primary productivity, homogenization of the flora, transformation of the landscape into a shrub-dominated biozone, and increasing xerophylic vegetation overall. Although human agents are not seen as the only forces inducing regime change during the termination of the AHP, their potential role in inducing large-scale landscape change must be properly contextualized against other global occurrences of neolithization.
