Sweet to have a power outage until 8 this evening when heat index is 101 today. I can cope with it & we barely use our a/c early in the day anyway but I don't know how wide this outage is, how the elderly & those.woth illness may hold up & if it's another forced rolling blackout

The embodiment of the Dharma is pure like the sky. The river of its assorted blessings is undammed. It brings everything together in a state of self-luminescence. This is the treasury of the blessings of the embodiment of the Dharma. ~ Great Tantra of Vajrasattva

When some ppl are given valid information that contradicts what they were earlier saying, they welcome the info because it brings a more accurate understanding Others just throw temper tantrums

This thread is very informational about the recent scotus rulings not effecting protest encampments (which I & some others believed would be a secondary effect of the recent ruling)

Now I'm thinking, to extend on her thoughts, it will also be used to crackdown more swiftly on Occupy style protests in which encampments popped up across the U.S

I heard Amanda Seales make the excellent point that the recent supreme court ruling doesn't just effect homeless but, since it's against encampments, it was passed in part to target student protesters making encampments in protest.

New pseudoscience just dropped on YouTube: electroculture. Folks out here wrapping copper wire around sticks & sticking it in a garden bed thinking it will make their crops grow bigger. As both an electrical engineer and a gardener I am already too tired for this nonsense 😹

I feel like, if you were in Columbus at this time, you know where you were when the derecho struck. I was looking out my kitchen window when the wind started going wild. I grabbed my cat & put them in the basement cuz it seemed like a tornado was a moment away

Pretty worried that the fascists are gonna win this election in France today. I will say that I think this is good evidence that fascism is not just a ruling class response to capitalist crisis: most of the ruling/capitalist class clearly prefers Macron (and Biden, etc.).

Material fact is not opinion. Thing with some self - proclaimed nondualists is they're full of shit but will "nondual" their shit into what they think is a rose but it's still just a pile of shit & will then be befuddled when you turn your nose away from them

Speaking of coffee, I'm down to about 1 reasonable sized mug a day. Not bad from drinking 3 or more a day. Maybe I'll quit altogether. I do feel more serene without much java

Remember folks, Israel is a settler colonialist project. Murdering, torturing & imprisoning 100s of 1000s of indigenous ppl & taking their land so Europeans & Americans can take it is literally settler - colonialism.

I totally get wanting a dem to win the presidency due to potential future scotus appointees etc but that's different from trying to paint a mass murderer as some type of good guy.

You are worried about Biden being president due to his current mental faculties I have been worried about Biden being president due to his decades long record of war mongering & racist crime laws, habitual lying, & being pro - genocide We are not the same

An awkward thing about working in a bookstore is customers occasionally like to ask me what I'm reading & it's either an archaic &/or esoteric religious text or a radical book many would consider extremist Not very marketable stuff 🤷‍♂️

Does Israel have a right to defend itself? No. Israel does not have a right to defend itself. It's a western colonialist project used to occupy Palestine in order to wield power in the region. Israeli "defense" against Palestinians will always be the offensive action of occupiers
