Haha yeah he’s not too memorable otherwise but it’s a funny mistake since Romney and Trump hate each other.

Romney? Did you mean Perry?

Why do you think he was selected for AG?

The crackdown against activists in the UK is getting very serious. If people don’t wake up and push back it may be the beginning of a very dark time.

The conflation of property destruction (especially of extremely wealthy businesses) and violence against people is extremely silly.

Biden has backed Israel since Hamas-led gunmen attacked the country in October 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking 250 hostages. Since then, more than 43,500 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in Gaza, with 2 million displaced people and much of the strip reduced to rubble.

How mysterious. I wonder who killed them?

I realize I misunderstood what you were saying. Yes I agree.

I don’t find Marxism very compelling personally but I agree that material conditions certainly do have their influence on many things, perhaps including this issue.

And yet in local races, primaries, ballot initiatives, progressive candidates and issues all lost. Almost every issue I voted on went the other way. So that has been my experience with California, that it is not very progressive. Admittedly this was a particularly bad election but similar things have happened before.

I know it has that reputation but I really don’t think California is the most progressive state. Maybe Oregon? Vermont? Not sure to be honest.

It’s pretty much just basic liberals here. And lots of fascists but they hide out away from everyone else most of the time.

I’m reading a book on this topic right now. It’s called civil resistance. Hope to find the answer soon!

I’m concerned about it but I have to wonder if the 100th meme on this topic is in any way helpful.

Man the finger pointing is getting really old.

Couroupita guianensis, Penang botanical garden.

Make sure to check out the flowers too! https://mander.xyz/comment/10767031

 

Picking mulberries by the dumpster—mostly above my head but the ones I could reach were tasty.

The flower petals are feijoa—I recently learned they are edible and delicious. They taste like marshmallows.

Hope y’all are having fun and staying safe out there!

Very cool project and glad to see it’s still going strong. Fun fact: I actually helped plant some of the very first trees here when it was just an empty field.

Anyone else finding these? Small but delicious.
