You are misreading the intent of the publication- it’s not talking about the overall sustainability of locally sourcing meat, it’s specifically about food-miles, which is an element of sustainability. In fact, I appreciate you doing my homework, as the abstract even quotes one of the things I’m pointing out- effective …

Even before all of this I would’ve said she is so unlikable she should be irrelevant. Your screenshot definitely makes me feel that all the more.

lol, that is fantastic. Thanks for the link!

let’s assume that there are practices which could be adopted in industrialised animal agriculture to make it super sustainable. None of those practices have been widely adopted as of now.

Simmer down, buddy, it was a joke. You didn’t want to take my comment seriously, I wasn’t taking your comment seriously.

Stuart Gordon is the BAMF.

The sentiment that you must eat vegan at a climate conference is some light ribbing, right? Otherwise it seems like the essence of the performative green activism that really is bothersome.

Absolutely not, that would be looney. Veganism offers an opportunity to source your food through channels that are more sustainable and has less impact on our individual footprint, but vegan practices aren’t synonymous with being automatically the most sustainable personal practice- just like how eating meat is not…

My god, putting China Miéville as the writing talent of Doctor Who is now my new fantasy. I feel like he could put the franchise onto a mind-blowing new course.

My feelings have always been that any diversity casting for characters constantly getting rebooted is that it’s only diversity casting because it wasn’t considered until that point- and adding diversity to a character opens up different aspects of creative license with the property. If it’s done well with the right…

Oh yeah, I am extremely short-attention-spanned with show length- I usually am losing interest in a series after 3 seasons, and won’t often last past 5 or 6 seasons. I do like most of the schlockiness of Doctor Who though, whether its Sontarans or Daleks, they’re always fun, but whatever this Swarm thing is feels more…

I really like your summary, not least because it largely matches to my feelings towards DW. It’s never a series I actively hate (Star Trek Discovery has that down pat), but there are some genuinely annoying story arcs. It almost feels like the British equivalent of a way-too-long anime, or a Marvel/DC mainstay comic…

Michelle Gomez & Sacha Dhawan have me definitely enticed to catch up. I feel like the Smith era is the essence of ‘diminishing returns’- Rory and Amy Pond’s initial story was great, and the initial mystery around River Song, but the series seemed a little tired towards the end of Smith’s run.

I feel ya- Capaldi and Whitaker are fantastic talents, but their starring as the Doctor doesn’t necessarily mean that every other aspect of their tenure is good at all.

I had Doctor Who fatigue before Matt Smith’s exit and haven’t watched since, but have wanted to catch up because I think Peter Capaldi and Jodi Whitaker are fantastic actors. That said, that promotional clip for this Flux special seriously dissuaded me- holy Jesus does that look bad. Do I have rose-coloured glasses…

What am I kidding, they need replacement no matter what.

She really should be the bare minimum for what a state rep provides, and considering the crises that West Virginians face, on a daily basis and stretching back throughout Manchin’s time in power, WV needs someone worth like 15 Katie Porters. If Democrats aren’t going to primary Manchin, I think that will be such a…

I uncontrollably snorted at both the screenshot and the name choice. Holy lord, is it stupid on all fronts.

Yeah, at this point it’s pretty clear that there is outside intervention needed to make a change. LaPierre should have been removed years ago.
