The Trump administration is stripping protections for streams that run only after rain — and for wetlands that don't join bigger waterways above-ground.
A biology professor says these rollbacks ignore basic science about how water connects underground. https://trib.al/LJOLjcu

If I was in Iowa I would simply vote for Bernie Sanders
Saying #Biden is the "electable candidate" is the same memetic branding as "Windows for business and Mac for graphic design". It's false. The DNC already ran a neoliberal centrist against Trump; she lost because a bunch of disheartened voters didn't turn out.
Look at his record: his hand in school segregation, his leadership in tough on crime lays, supporting trade deals, pro-war, bundling the domestic abuse bill with unrelated policies.
Even if he wins, it's just back to business as usual.
On my phone #spotify locks up or stalls playback while downloading content. So while I use spotify for ambient music, I prefer #AntennaPod for listening to a #podcast
To my internet friends mourning #brexit, look across the Atlantic for support. We in the US can empathize. We have a leader that lost the popular vote and has pulled out of the Paris Climate Accords, pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, scrapped a trade agreement with neighbouring countries, and dehumanized asylum seekers.
We share your pain in this moment of racist and lizard-brain driven leadership. We're better than this, and that's why it hurts so much to watch.

In Côte d'Ivoire, capitalist exploitation causes deforestation. Cacao farmers get paid so little they become desperate, and the only way they can see to earn more so they can survive is to grow more.
Some take to destroying protected forests so they can grow more cacao to sell. But as awful as the killing of trees by burning their roots is, I can't blame these people. It's not their fault, it's the fault of a corrupt and exploitative system which doesn't give them enough money to live.

The oldest seed ever germinated was a 2000 year old Judean date palm seed, found in an archaeological site near the Dead Sea. These trees were previously extinct since the 6th century, but this one, named Methusalah (obvs), is still thriving as far as I know!
"We [the US] need a set of reforms, passed on a bipartisan basis, that changes the political incentives for candidates. Among them are nonpartisan redistricting, easier ballot access, open primaries, frequent and accessible debates, financial transparency in campaigns with spending limits, term limits, and ranked-choice voting, which allows voters to express preferences among multiple candidates."

Bernie needs to put out a statement regarding his more vocal supporters, saying that Hillary Clinton is a deeply terrible person who ran a hubris campaign and whiffed it, and she literally had slave labor in the AR governor's mansion, and that it's perfectly reasonable to boo her
The paranormal #audiodrama #podcast King Falls AM team makes the transition from a encounter of the week to true drama in a seamless manner. I'll definitely be looking forward to the next phase. They just went on an arc break so it's a perfect time to catch up with the story over at https://audioboom.com/channels/4256036.rss

"I distrust huggers and, if forced to interact with one, will always make sure I duck a bit to make sure that they do not get a grip below my center of gravity," I explain to the now terrified Burger King cashier.

Just went trolling the Dune hashtag and there's a #Dune (2020) show coming out? I don't know if I've seen the other adaptations. But won't this be the 4th attempt to cover the same ground?
