- Gov Walker was Milwaukee Cnty Exec 1st; he gutted spending on parks system (and anything else he could get his filthy hands on). Trails went untrimmed, beaches got dirty, bath shelters turned shabby due to neglect. Fewer people accessed amenities, so funding was cut due to lack of use.
- These f-ers think that common folk don't deserve access to public lands...in fact there should be no public lands, only privatized land. There are minerals under those national parks, timber to be cut, water to be sent to corporate ag, land to be privatized and plastered with fucking golf courses.

- My career is in the pharmaceutical industry, but that doesn't mean I'm not critical of the direction of research sometimes, or in human's overwhelming desire for a "magic pill" to solve all the woes processed foods and sedentary lifestyles have wrought upon us: www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...
- This article here is a "no shit, Sherlock" bit of writing, but apparently humans need to hear this stuff out loud now: scitechdaily.com/exercise-vs-...
- I hate the way journalist have to write nowadays to engage people's interests, but this is a decent brief article on how what we eat impacts our internal microbiota and eventually our brain health. scitechdaily.com/this-simple-...
- 1 of the reasons I have such a problem with humans is that every issue has to be an extreme...black and white, one or the other. Multiple issues intersect in real life tho; people can be right (protect the heelsplitters) but still so, so wrong (NIMBYism, anti-"other"ism) www.wfae.org/energy-envir...
- Public access to wild spaces should be an absolute right, regardless of what neighborhood you're coming from, the entitlement of these homeowners is staggering. BUT, the disregard and disrespect of those wild spaces is a major issue too, people have lost their damn minds and all couth.

- Our culture has women and men focused on beauty more than health, but nothing carries you into old age better than staying active. Sure we might be living into our 80s and 90s but in what form? medicalxpress.com/news/2025-01...
- The Ministry for Efficiency power grab is following Trump's super-spoiled-rich-guy playbook: do what you want, fuck everyone over and then tie it up in the courts until it all burns to the ground. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-omb-...
- haha you thought national infrastructure was bad before! And food safety? Pffffff! LOL. We all eating rat feces now if we weren't before. Drug development is going to grind to a halt because state universities that often jump-start discovery/development won't have the funds. All this and more! Woo!
- A Just+Equitable nation wouldn't have > 550 inhabitants incarcerated/ every 100,000 Americans. Canada's rate is around 90 people per 100,000. It's a sick and predatory system that preys on the poor, and on marginalized communities, and needs to be abolished. www.sentencingproject.org/newsletter/t...
- Once research gets its ass up off of amyloid/tau pathology as its fetish focus, maybe we can start making strides again in finding treatments and cures for Alzheimers. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36404545/
- Reposted by gageypoodleThe price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu.

- Yet not a single person named. Still. Revelation: rich people visit islands. Billions of data points to discern that rich people use roads for transportation. All that data yet we can't seem to manage any arrests. Weird. www.wired.com/video/watch/...
- I love when folks with no concept of history or how banks currently/constantly rob people, spout bs like this: "Jacobs told CNBC "A bank just robbed us. This is the first reverse bank robbery in the history of America."" ... Yeah, the "first". futurism.com/the-byte/fin...
