We can and should harness the rapid growth of aggressive native species in their native range to produce abundant ecological and human value alike. Today, I wrote about one such species open.substack.com/pub/thelastfar…

Agree with all the criticisms of this nonsense and would add that even if you think this is a 12d chess move to fool dummies into voting for a socialist, it’s completely undemocratic for a candidate to make that choice unilaterally. The costs are borne by the movement
Is L.A. mayoral candidate Nithya Raman a capitalist?
"I'm a capitalist and I'm also a Democratic Socialist...we need to make sure capitalism works without harm to workers... to poor people."
She says the DSA is a "big tent" but she disagrees with members who call to abolish Senate.

Everything Mamdani said during the primary was a lie
Zohran Mamdani launched his mayoral campaign two years ago today. @petersterne interviewed him at the time. And it's remarkable how decarceration has not been the mayor's focus, at all, in office.

This lady is a fraud who writes outright lies for a billionaire rag, but my favorite part about this extremely lazy piece is that she does not offer ONE SINGLE EXAMPLE of “better industrial ag”
This would get an F in freshman composition
This would get an F in freshman composition
The answer to bad industrial agriculture isn't non-industrial ag, it's better industrial ag.
Yet the good-food movement has been all in on non-industrial, influenced by 2 people who are excellent writers & good men: Wendell Berry & Michael Pollan.

Brad Lander is adamant about investing taxpayer money in the contemporary equivalent of the Zyklon B manufacturer. He can rot in hell
What @bradlander is doing says so much about who is, what he stands for, and the principles he will bring to Congress. He is an amazing man. Read his statement.

The most charitable possible description of AI is that they’ve invented a Google search that includes Reddit comments and presents them as cold hard facts
i'm being exposed to commercials for the first time in a while (nba) and their example justification for why we need AI now is that you can do internet banking while you're gardening? yikes

Deer are surprisingly quiet when they bound through the woods. The forest floor is covered with crunchy leaves right now, so every step I take sounds like balling up a bag of chips. A squirrel gathering nuts sounds like a shark attack. A deer at full speed is easy to miss

America’s industrial farmers are the most pampered and least competitive producers on Earth. And yet, their sense of entitlement—guided by a delusional belief in their own rugged individualism—knows no bounds
This aid will push US government payments to farmers in 2026 to $55.4 billion, based on USDA's earlier net farm income forecast with $8 billion added to it. The highest previous aid year was $45.6 billion in 2020, driven by trade aid and pandemic payments.

Same issue with labor. We automate production only to discover the results are alienating and ugly despite their smooth “perfection”, so craftsmanship becomes a luxury fetish, turning the human touch into a status symbol for lonely, miserable rich people
I'm fascinated by the rise of frictionmaxxing as a response to a frictionless life. We engineer away inconvenience, only to discover that some of the friction we removed was part of what made life feel alive in the first place
