sometimes I wish that every article naming how much a public service would cost (or how much it would cost to repair needed infrastructure for the service or to make the service more accessible to disabled people and poor people) would explain that number in terms of how much time it takes a billionaire to earn that much.
like "it would cost $8.6 million (or, a little under one hour of Bezos's earnings) to build a new public library building in this area which would serve 45 thousand people."
money is literally a social and political representation of how we are choosing to allocate resources. I wish these direct comparisons were made so people who haven't yet made the connection might at least start asking "huh... why should we allocate these resources to one person to do nothing with them instead of to 45 thousand people in the form of an essential service? why do we allocate this amount of resources to this one person every single hour of every single day but it's unthinkable to provide it to tens of thousands of people just once? why are tens of thousands of people (of which I am one), all of us collectively, less valuable than this one guy?"
This is a good idea.
When it comes to dealing with politicians talking about cost to the taxpayer, divide it by the number of people it will serve; annualize if appropriate. "This new library will cost $8.6 million, serve 45,000, and last at least 25 years - less than $8 per person per year".
I also like framing it in terms of what it saves, eg, this tram line will cost 5.6 million, reducing traffic congestion by 20%, save 500,000 per year in wear and tear on roads, save 0.8 million a year in health care costs related to pollution, in addition to incalculable health care savings by reducing stress of heavy commutes, increase tourism income by X, etc, etc, etc. We can't just talk about the costs of changing. We have to talk about the costs of continuing to do things the same way

And notice that he made it out of white oak. Even with power tools, that’s doing it the hard way.
The artists is Oleksandr Hrytsai. He makes more of this beautiful stuff. Sadly, facebook only.
Guy Walton has christened two previous heatwaves this summer Amoco and BP in attempt to name and shame fossil fuel firms
CHEERS TO GUY WALTON FOR “OUTING” THE FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES
From the article:
Walton has devised his own criteria for named heatwaves in the US, based on duration and extremity, on a one to five scale similar to hurricanes. Heatwave Chevron is classed as a four and is “historic”, Walton said. The meteorologist said he has a list of 20 oil and gas companies – including Exxon and Shell – for upcoming heatwaves and will turn to coal companies if he runs out of names.
OUTSTANDING MOVE
Y'all know what to do. Use Walton's naming system. Make it catch on.

reblog of you agree
Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3
[image ID: Text reading Texas State Aquarium staff stated that the animals have been getting a little restless. One of the employees had an idea to let some of the land animals spend time with some of the sea animals, and it has worked out brilliantly.
Putting the sloths near the dolphins was the biggest surprise of all. The dolphins are absolutely delighted with the sloths, and the sloths, normally very quiet animals, have been squeaking replies back to the dolphins for hours at a time. Who would have guessed these two species would be such a great match?
There is a photo of two dolphins in a large pool, their heads peeking out above the water to look at a brown sloth, who is hanging on a branch. End ID]
As alien species encounters go, this is like the absolute best possible outcome
Okay but in the video the dolphins swim upside down like they’re imitating the sloth and it’s real cute.
THANK YOU FOR FINDING VIDEO! IDK WHY I DIDN'T THINK TO CHECK YOUTUBE! THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING!!!
Here are even more animals visiting each others!!
Oh my gosh, thank you for sharing this! This is so precious!!!

the bravest writers are the ones who make granny characters in scifi and fantasy solely for the sake of having grannies i think there needs to be more old ladies who Fight and Kill
not only because i like the concept of badass oldladies and the destruction of the concept that all girl characters have to be sexually appealing to the audience bc thats fucking annoying as shit, there is literally Nothing funnier than the concept of a granny with a massive sword or death laser. she pinches ur cheek lovingly and then saws someone in half. amazing
