Baloney. Greenpeace got what it deserved. I loved the fact that the punitive damages were doubled by the jury. To see them wreak violence and destruction and then whine about the freedom of protest being lost is hysterical. The jury of those harmed by their actions saw through everything and gave them what they deserved.
Heh, quoting Wikipedia and its sources isn't the win you think it is. As usual, it's always making someone who dared to criticize the COVID "vaccines" as if they oppose all real, working vaccines and then labeling them an "anti-vaxxer".
Did you even bother to read the article and the actual emails it quoted?
What a joke. Nothing but "union busting" this, "anti-climate" that, and "far right" that (where "far right" = "anything to the right of Marx"). No mentions of the destruction wrought by left and far left policies, including climate change fear mongering and the destruction wrought by "green" policies.
All written by a union group. Tells you everything you need to know.
> The report cites Amazon’s high injury rates in the US, the company challenging the constitutionality of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), its efforts in Canada to overturn labor law, the banning of Amazon lobbyists from the European parliament for refusing to attend hearings on worker violations, and refusal to negotiate with unions in Germany, among other cases.
Sounds like some legitimate points. What exactly do you mind about these?
The most vulnerable were old male smokers with COPD, diabetes, cancer, kidney malfunction, elevated D-dimer and obesity. Just having two of those didn’t put you anywhere near the top.
As someone who has describe insects species we might alternately say "the evolutionary processes that lead to the anatomy of these creatures is mind-blowing".
Find access to a 60x scope. Fill a yellow party bowl with water about 3/4 full. Put a drop or so of non-lemon dish-soap on the edge, it will break the surface tension. Put that bowl outside, literally anywhere there is plant life (and pretty much anywhere in general). Get an algae removing dip-net, for fish tanks. After a day, but no longer than that, pour the sample through the net. Rinse it carefully by running fresh water over your hand onto the specimens. Invert the result into a small, flat-bottomed white pan with a little ethyl (or propyl) alcohol you get from a pharmacy. Put that under the scope. Be amazed.
I've seen a lot of minds melted by this little experiment, which isn't so little, it's the best way to collect many insects. In the field we'd run hundreds of these on collecting trips, servicing them every day or so.
It is tragic that some people feel the need to destroy every insect or arachnid that comes anywhere near them. 99.9% of them are harmless to humans. I don't understand the compulsion to maim or kill them.
As someone who doesn't kill them, I can explain the compulsion.
People feel threatened by insects. They tickle, they sting, some spread disease. They can be painful. Some species can do major damage to structures and crops. They look alien and menacing to many people.
What a misleading title. It gives the impression that it was permanently shut down, when the truth is otherwise:
"... a spokesperson for Green Hill High School confirmed that the school has closed its library ahead of the 2024–2025 school year to sort through its entire collection of books to ensure that they are in compliance with H.B. 843, which went into effect on July 1."
I mean, shutting down the library for an entire year still seems like a fairly unfortunate outcome.
What if someone accidentally sees a forbidden book before it's removed from the shelf??? Better close the whole library until it's been totally audited, just in case.
> I mean, shutting down the library for an entire year still seems like a fairly unfortunate outcome.
The school library probably won't be closed for an entire school year. It's just closed indefinitely. The school could open the library early by progressively adding back batches of confirmed "safe" books. (None of what I said changes the fact that the updated Age-Appropriate Materials Act still violates the First Amendment.)
