"Crowther, who says his message was misinterpreted, put out a more nuanced paper last month, which shows that preserving existing forests can have a greater climate impact than planting trees."

i think it was an easy buy-in for big corps

I'm gonna read this article fully later but I thought that this was common knowledge among environmentalists and permies (I hangout with them a bunch) in 2019! Carbon offsets seemed like an obvious scam back in 2010.

thinking further on this, beyoncé is paralleling tina turner, her idol, at sun city :c that just sucks

"pickleball is a astroturfed, venture capital-backed parasite on public space." apparently

tennis adherent just because

this article was surprisingly enthralling. pickleball people seem like tech bros demanding that cities immediately change their existing park infrastructure to suit their whims while tennis and other sport people seem like nimbys who are afraid of change and are unwilling to share. unfortunately i am a fence sitter on the pickleball issue

i like that they gave us pictures and also a dog was in the picture for those of us who can't read

(good article and thank you for sharing, i would not have seen it otherwise)

jesus have you ever heard of paragraphs buddy?

i do NOT understand these advertisements. WHO is in the market for this

advertise boner pills or fuck games like a normal spambot

i was at and went past -1.00 at 10 :c

yay let's go outside and play some volley ball and what not

wayback link for free article-less folks

did play outside until, like, undergrad college lmao honest. got glasses at age 13, after a bout of eye itchiness made me rub my eyes really, really roughly, which seemingly (hhhh) made my eyesight worse overnight; i was unable to read from the whiteboard the next day. only a -0.75 prescription, though. i do think that it's been quickly worsening through the past three years, though? idk i haven't gotten my eyes retested yet. more comfortable with a -1.00 prescription glasses nowadays

i think it might be too late for me to stop my prescription from being bad, but i guess i can slow it down :/

got glasses at 9 and it did get worse as i spent less time playing outside to hit the books

Tbh I never understood why tree-based products were considered environment-friendly in the first place when one of the problems is... deforestation? It's just so silly

guess it's time to make buildings out of mud

great post. in some ways he feels like a victim of the "we're in the moment space" style of the modern music economy and in other ways a collaborator (for lack of a better term).

i liked aim and ignite back in 2013 though

“Here, have some leaked documents,” the user said, before uploading some of them.

“Nice,” another user replied.

Can't disagree with you on that. I imagine something else that contributes is that video is super predominant now yet the most accessible way to create is to write prose - I am imagining there's a lot of backfeeding with people writing as if they were writing a film but as prose.

My personal experience has been that a lot of what passes for "show, don't tell" ends up making people write more like movies are shot. Film can't show interiority like prose can, but a lot of middling genre and fan fiction has reaction shots written in prose.

It was the suppliest of days, it was the demandest of days. Savings hardly seemed equal to investments anymore after Larry's wife left him. Divorce was so sudden to him - hadn't he studied enough game theory to foresee the possibility?

Interesting take! I'm not sure I'd 100% agree that the quoted passage is telling and not showing though. Clearly it is telling us a lot about what the character is thinking, but I think for example it also shows us their emotional state super effectively through the long, scattered, run-on sentences, repetition and so on. You can't just show! You have to tell some things to show others, and there is absolutely a depth to the quoted passage.

I'm going to write the first economics fiction novel.

i like it when world leaders run their own socials. joe biden would never post a picture of something he saw in his garden that he believes is an elf, despite being probably the most likely world leader to see something in his garden that he believes is an elf
