a question about amazon farming-

it is my understanding that after burning the forest, the land is only fruitful for a couple of years. and then they move on to virgin forest.

is this correct?
if it is, just how much area is comprised of degraded land?

and are there groups working on regenerative ag there? seems like sending a few bucks that way could actually be worth something.

i dont think we should kill the filibuster, even tho

the senate itself is deeply undemocratic.
i just think they should take it back to the talking filibuster. honestly, i think that is the moral high ground.

something has to be done, tho. the senate is a vulgar joke.

jeff merkley talking about it on mtp right now.

lauren underwood hops on the impeachment bandwagon.

this is a big one. her district is very purple, as is sean casten, another freshman who has already come out.

her support is based on volume 1 of the mueller report.
that is a first. this is big. this is where we need to go.

fuck the nypd union.

we have come to a pass where it is just assumed that interested parties are going to see clear cut events in a completely different light. are going to have separate realities.
this is why we are where we are.

the talking heads assumed the union was going to scream bloody murder here.

and so they did.
and it made me sick.

if they believed in laws and rules and due process and justice, they would have made a temperate statement of support for their brother, but an acceptance that justice has been served.

i cannot imagine any universe in which a person makes a fatal error on the job, and gets to stay on the job for 5 FUCKING YEARS while the process plays out.
y'all did your jobs, brothers.
you got your brother every drop of fairness, and then some.

pat yourself on the back for seeing that the system works, and accept the god damn outcome.

oh, man, are hackers ever low lifes.

today is my bday, and i just got an email.
it had a phone number for a sender address, and had a footer that said it was sent from a t-mobile phone.
and the message was-

Hi Mo I know today's a special day so Happy Birthday and many happy returns!🎂

w a link to a .txt file.

jeebus.
that's about the lowest shit i have had in my email box, ever.
at least it was a totally unconvincing fake.
but man.

stacy abrams has the best 'gotcha question 2 step' in the business.

keep seeing the commercial for 'american swamp' where katy tur asks her in an interview-

kt-do you think the election was stolen from you?
sa- i think the election was stolen from the people of georgia.

and w the perfect blend of righteous disgust and sarcasm.

you shine on woman, you have a bright future.
