Used bookstores smell better.

Alright, I’m prepared to take some heat for this because in the context of the best organized protests I think my assumptions are incorrect. However most protests don’t rise to that level. Thing is if your protest looks for the most part like a party with some political alignments and isn’t related to some direct action in your community or actual expectations/demands of the relevant political body…
Not to say that “performative” protests are useless. But there seems to be a distressing number of my fellow gen Z that think these sorts of protests alone will work. Like all they need to do is yell loudly into a few news network cameras on capital hill then go home.
I’ll probably see what’s going on in my home state and hope to see some targeted action and real dialogue. I truly hope my assumptions are proven wrong.
- Comment on Chicago keeps its New Year's resolution: All city buildings now use 100 percent clean power 2 months ago:
The important difference is that the power is allocated to a specific small subset of very public buildings rather than a municipality or even a neighborhood.
- Comment on Chicago keeps its New Year's resolution: All city buildings now use 100 percent clean power 2 months ago:
In defence of this argument: I’ve thought the same thing about projects in my city. Like say there’s capacity for new solar. The power company could build it and make a small impact on the power mix, or they could earmark it for a project/building and let them say they’re “100% renewable.”
Mostly just politics bs, but still feel like this could be somewhat deceptive in the wrong context.

I don’t have the credentials some of these guys do but I’d say that sure as fuck isn’t a chuckwalla. Seems like it’s the real deal…

If they actually had legitimate interest in the fediverse they would be working towards making Instagram interoperable. But of course their established platforms aren’t necessary for EEE.
