  1. not sure if you're grouping greenhouse gas in with other forms of pollution. the paris accord is actually a pretty solid roadmap for what needs to happen, in terms of getting greenhouse gas under control does anyone ever hold up their end of the deal in these agreements? i always assumed they were symbolic. whenever gov money does get spent on things that are supposed to help the environment it's usually in a roundabout and wishy washy way i.e. tax breaks that people don't even think about taking advantage of. it would be great to see some sort of revolution in terms of machines and apps that can clean up and preserve the environment in the near future. stuff like finding ways of turning pollution into energy. cmon scientists what are we paying you for climate change will mean serious problems for governments in the long run. china doesn't want to deal with droughts and mass migrations. no one wants to fight to keep coastal cities viable. no one wants the world's relative peace destabilized. it's hard to find a precedent for the paris accord, but things like the hague conference, the geneva convention, the use of the league of nations, and the use of the united nations are comparable. because it is on an important matter that carries its own impetus, the agreement has staying power. the formal agreement may not be heavy on enforcement, and in that sense kind of symbolic, but it is a symbol of the actual agreement among people, the decisions for which are based on a concerning reality.
  2. at the end of the day the problem is the voters, and its up to us to establish a new set of norms to safeguard from the danger of the people being duped by crafty manipulators. skepticism, courteous discourse, and an acknowledgement of the complexity of ethical choices and their need for careful calculation. the present voter climate is simply inadequate to the responsibility it bears.

  9. apc twitter account tweeted that there would not be a new tool album this year i couldn't help but wonder if they could be using the word "album" to fuck with people now i see the nav on the new site has "releases" i'm calling it. 2017. digital first. likely surrounding the oddly huge june 24 show with primus, the melvins, fantomas, clutch, and crystal method
  10. not after trump... these are white supremacists around a statue of robert e lee on saturday
  11. i heard this narrative from someone else... not sure where it's coming from... the official statement says it was comey's disclosing of information on the clinton email investigation last year that was the cause you may think that seems odd. here is a video of trump on october 31 praising those exact actions by comey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB_k_WiqtOg supposedly the recommendation to fire him came from the deputy attorney general this past tuesday. the day before, monday, comey made a request to the department of justice, to the same deputy attorney general actually, for more prosecutors and other personnel to accelerate the bureau’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the presidential election
