Hilarious! Bantering blonds and cringeworthy kisses: G7 was the dinner party from deepest hell https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/26/g7-summit-dinner-party-biarritz

This is actually pretty very good.

Why do I not trust Bolsonaro’s good faith too much on this one? (Beef & ethanol are 2 of the biggest govt-promoted unsustainable things going.)

It will end in our planetary suicide. https://www.climatecentral.org/news/we-just-breached-the-410-parts-per-million-threshold-21372

Why Are Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren Scared to Talk About Sex Work? https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/why-bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-183401874.html

Vascinating. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassius_Longinus_(philosopher)

Yeah, it is going to take some continuing pressure from the US and others to ‘encourage’ these changes. Agree Grandpa B. has some issues here. Whether the electorate will take notice, I have not a clue.

Think these are two-afart unitary issues. Imagine if the U.S. were judged on the totality of its conduct alone, not on the specifics.

If every nuclear weapons R&D & production program on the planet could be converted to a globally coordinated Manhattan Project to develop geoengineering technologies that would actually work to reverse climate change (all current ideas are dismally primitive, & look likely to do much more harm than good), we might have a chance at species survival. Good luck with that?

LMAO I heard it as: ’How does he breathe through that little thing?’

Agree very much with this. Companies in China and the US and elsewhere will naturally compete with one another. But I think Xi & co. see that free and fair trade is in everyone’s best interest. His government has taken pretty seriously the need to stop manipulating their currency, in particular. It is Drumpf reopening last-generation trade-war tactics that threatens to upend the boat today. We can’t be rid of him soon enough.

Oz has absolutely 2 or 3 times come down to cut trolls here off their testicles & cast them out. Rightly. But no mommy-ish needless messing around in the forums day-to-day. He leave us to our own devices, on the supposition we can work things out among ourselves. What an adult point of view.

Occurs that Oz moderates here by keeping his hands off!
