tension over water use used for lithium mining in the western USA. nevada monitoring wells are running dry. in california the water will come from the colorado river which is already stressed, obviously. the regulatory frame work for water use in the states is from the 1800s and so is wide open. the congressional people from those states are trying to modernize the law on the federal level but with little support. there's dozens of mines applying for permits to come on line in the coming handful of years.

new specialist. she's great. her office staff.. not so much. currently navigating the healthcare bureaucracy in USA because her office didn't fill out the forms for prior authorization for a procedure. calling their office, insurance, office, insurance.. all because someone can't do their fucking job right. in USA.. incompetence is as big an epidemic as anything else. when you encounter someone who knows what they're doing and how to resolve issues.. make sure to let them know they're appreciated. jfc. people half assing their job in the healthcare industry is fucking annoying af.

what in find interesting is this situation is not new. this isn't new behavior for america. this is what america has always done and will continue to do. these people being outraged is a nice change i guess but for their entire lives and mine as well this has been the normal.. business as usual behavior of america through war, weapons, industry etc.. so, it's kinda easy to point at biden and hold his feet to the fire.. as should always been done of any president.. but what they should be upset about and hopefully realize is that this is what it means to be american and live in america. we are usually on the wrong side of things and manipulated by media, narratives, lies and the myths of america fed to us our entire lives. so, perhaps for some people, this outrage over israel will lead to a permanent change or a realization of the facts of life... but my guess is a lot of people will be mad and the outrage will end there.. they won't examine america's part in other foreign policy/system of the world type oppression that happens constantly because then they might have re-evaluate everything and that might be too painful and complicated because if there's one thing the average american hates.. it's thinking too hard about complex situations with lot's of nuance and history. it it's not good vs evil black and white situation they can't seem to figure it out. as for using the church.. it's laughable.. so many preachers from the pulpit say some of the worst things to their congregations that a person can say.. all in service of politics

Lots good chunks in this. Maybe posted here already. I can’t remember adobe ai speech processing … hmm.

listened in the studio today and fcuking ay. so good. it rips.

Prometheus might be the worst one. it's about even with Covenant for my money. though the religious idiots are kinda tops at being bottom of the foodchain of stupidity and i find it totally baffling that people getting of a fcuking spaceship onto an unknown planet aren't at a minimum in hazmat suits.. instead of romping around the swamp and squashing poison mushroom dust. but prometheus has scientists that change personality.. going from being terrified of everything to "hey, that snake sucker thing looks cute. i'll pet it.. even though we're in an obviously ominous feeling space cargo ship full of weird death" david is the only consistently good thing about the later movies. otherwise, every single character is so boring/conflicted w/themselves or a total trope.. it's just ass piss diarheehaw

yeah.. she's more of a typical centrist trying say the right things to get elected and attract people. business as usual. trump is a potential end to democracy and destruction of federal institutions that for better or worse make things function somewhat in expected ways here.

saw story today out of Oxfam... https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/1/11/gaza-daily-deaths-exceed-all-other-major-conflicts-in-21st-century-oxfam Britain-based charity Oxfam said on Thursday that the daily death toll of Palestinians in Israel’s war on Gaza surpasses that of any other major conflict in the 21st century, while survivors remain at high risk due to hunger, diseases and cold, as well as ongoing Israeli bombardments.

her stock is falling in my eyes.. she showed up on russel brands podcast. ugh. tin foil hat hook line sinker.

i remember seeing that the gig here for be up a hello was postponed when the pandemic started.. i had hopes still then.. it was cancelled. i hope again for opportunity to buy a ticket to hear all this in a big room w/a bunch of other people and feel like i'm in the right place. i hope so. he's been here before and i missed it. sigh. so, i was so ready for the BUAH gig. would've been ace. if he comes back i'll hitting refresh until the tix go on sale. @Hugh Mughnus yeah.. wtf. fuck the pandemic for all the reasons. BUAH gig would've been mental.

jfc. life is a rollercoaster in hell. https://news.sky.com/story/women-and-girls-in-gaza-using-scraps-of-tent-material-in-place-of-period-products-13053083 Pregnant women are having C-sections without anaesthetic while others are forced to use scraps of tents in place of period products, aid workers say.

ian bremmer eurasia group came out w/their annual top 10 risks for the world and #1 is USA vs Itself. time stamped. gives his reasoning which is obvious but well framed here. Chris hedges has a good conversation regarding trump’s second run. this is from a couple months ago. Focused on this guys book. Pretty interesting analysis of how much darker he’s gotten with the conspiracy stuff.
