His approval has plummeted so badly that it's a historic precedent, he's less popular than any Democrat senator that has lost a primary in this century.
Since Fetterman’s election, his net approval with Pennsylvania Democrats has dropped 108 points, from +68 in 2023 to -40 in 2026
But Pennsylvanians are stuck with him until 2028.
His handlers predict that the senate will gain too many Democrats in November for his vote to be an impasse, so they'll try to use him to strengthen Republican numbers instead.
Even if having to interact with a big touch screen while driving were truly safe, I don't want to have to deal with that when I'm driving.
It would probably be good if the governments of North America could come together and discuss how to more responsibly and sustainably manage their forests. Beyond increasing temperatures caused by climate change, the recent intensity of summer fires on this continent are also driven by the fact that we no longer do controlled burns of forest lands evolved to regularly burn, leading to accumulated dry underbrush. We treat our managed forests like farms, monocropping species onto dry hills that are better adapted for wetter, more diverse ravines. We woefully underfund the departments tasked with doing these things. As bad as climate change is, these summer fires could be way more mild if only we could hold our governing bodies to be more responsible. But I guess that's where the climate change ultimately came from, too.
I've been yelling "It's Tony!" to my friends, even in situations where there is in fact no Tony (But we've been watching through The Sopranos, so they're not entirely onto me just yet). Just thought you should know.
The "not all men" trope is intended to highlight the unhelpful complicity of that response in the context of patriarchy. It's not meant to imply the inverse, lest you've been walking around supposing that all men are patriarchs. Or similarly, that no cop has ever met their birth father.
Do you think that authoritarianism's hand in ecological destruction means that as humans it is imperative of all of us to overthrow authoritarianism, or do you think it means that all humans are bad and must perish?
Unfortunately the misanthropic sentiment is the foundation for a whole plethora of ecofascist tendencies, both intentionally and unintentionally so, that are shockingly common.
I'm unfortunate because while weed is a great disassociative recreation for me and basically a part of my culture, it seriously suppresses my ability to think through complex issues in the way that's required for the technical work / hobbies I do, while adderal and other stimulant-type meds make me very tense and aggravated even at low doses. I've heard good things about clonadine though, non-stimulant adhd med, I've got plans to ask my doc about it.
It's me, I'm in this meme. Those are still technically medications, just self-prescribed.
Remember, it's society that is dysfunctional. We're accommodating it's dysfunction for our own safety and security.
Can't build anarchy on misanthropy.
I remember there was a mod that put this back in and with it enabled, sure enough you had to devote like half of your land to parking craters because the game has no really meaningful way to divert demand to alternative transit, even if you build it.
