what if the speciesisms are complementary? Bees are in fact, busy. And larks do look like they're having fun.
"whale" can mean fat, or an easy mark, or a bagging good time so.
It's important for some groups to move the Overton Window. Still, I wonder if PETA would be get closer to its stated goals if it rededicated its energy to persuading American's to halve their meat intake, or use only non animal testing cosmetics. And then this.

Somehow the NYT missed that people are not only pissed about the sloppy process by which school names were axed, or not, but that @SFUnified hasn't had one day of in person school, doesn't expect to, and BOARD DIDN'T EVEN DISCUSS ANY OF THAT
HERE is what people are really pissed about. Sure, have a (much more rigorous) debate about school names. But should that take priority over...reopening? Increasing access to remote learning for low income kids? Really? missionlocal.org/2021/01/the-sa…
Sloppy, craven process + utter failure to deliver for kids.
Sure, some names should go (Serra, for example). But is this the thing the @SFUnified board should be spending its time on when kids have not been in schools for almost a year?
There’s pitiful connectivity to online classes in a lot of communities. Improving THAT seems like a higher priority this year.
1/ I've watched (part of) Navalny's "Putin's Palace" exposé, and I suggest you do same. (It is subtitled.) It's half psychological profile/biography and half @60Minutes style follow the money report, citing rafts of documents, using drone footage. Now...
2/ I cannot verify its claims. You'd need to be a Russian speaker commanding a team of forensic accountants, for starters. But the pattern of Putin using "wallets"—old friends and cronies to horcrux his vast stolen wealth—is well known. He may be richest person in world.
3/ "Putin's Palace" hones in on one...palace...estimated to cost $1.3 BILLION. But it's the pattern of how the money is hidden that's more nefarious, esp put against what Russia spends on its people in pensions and otherwise. Here's a @CNN summary cnn.com/2021/01/20/eur…
3/ This kind of direct and illegal pressure on DOJ (and Georgia, and god knows who else) to overturn election results isn't in the articles of impeachment but maybe it should be.
If Republicans think two weeks is going to present a better set of facts, boy I don't know.
WHO THE FUCK JUST HELD OFFICE AND WHAT KIND OF GOLD PLATED TOILET DID HE HAVE
Aside from everything else, like false equivalencies, which is the Times' Achilles heel, always, these two stories are a serious mismanagement of reporting firepower.
