There’s no way I’d use a grocery app. Paper and pen works well enough.
Now, if my phone had a slide-out physical keyboard like it did back in fucking 2007, I’d consider it. As it is, typing on phones is pain.

Odd to see Papua New Guinea referred to as an “Island Nation” as if it were like a microstate in the Pacific. It’s half of New Guinea and bunch of other islands besides, and it’s bigger than Sweden.
Under pressure from Nazis and tankies.
Can we also bulldoze the Nazi SS cemetery in Oakville and for good measure, flood it with piss?
Apparently the monument is gone “for repairs”.
Is your timeline set in the past for that site? It shows the present day for me when I check.
Most climate scientists say we need to make changes to our personal lives and changes to the system. If one lives in the overdeveloped world, one’s impact is potentially huge. There are basic things that make a difference: eat less meat from ruminants (beef, mutton), don’t fly, have fewer or no kids. Those are low hanging fruit, take little effort, and still leave time and energy for whatever system change tactic one wants to do.
I’ve encountered the term “Imperial mode of living” cited by Kohei Salto. Thanks for posting this interview.
On the theft of resources for the affluent lifestyle, I recommend Cobalt Red, about mining in the DRC. It’s a brutal read. Kids digging with hand tools in toxic pits for $1 a day.
May 1st colour being red is a nice subtle touch.
All profit is stolen wages.
The commute itself? Hard to say. But according to the article, a billionaire produces emissions equivalent to a million average people.
There are 3,311 billionaires.
Once they are eliminated, that’s the emissions of 3.3 billion people taken care of.
“Each side” is the issue - this party is going to let the conversation be driven by existing parties rather than any objective thinking. It’s leaving the conversation to be defined by the hegemonic political machines. So I expect nothing new. Another party of business as usual.
Sure, Canada’s doing great but we’re driving off a cliff in many respects. Once the ground gives out we’re gonna have a bad time.
What Canada needs: yet another party jostling to get to the center as quickly as possible. Another party whose platform is the Overton Window. The most average party possible.
It’s a dictatorship that just did some ethnic cleansing. COP29 is going to be an absolute joke.
As are the Dems. Well, they at least slap a rainbow sticker on the oil rigs.
Hydrogen: the crypto of green energy.
Well, I guess boomers are chemicals polluting the environment if you think about it.
Only if you’re American.
