Online advertising uses over 100 TWh of electricity per year, about 1/10th the consumption of the entire internet, and produces about 60 megatons of CO2 as of 2016

Junk mail destroys over 100 million trees every year in the US alone. 44% of junk mail is discarded without even being opened, and only about 22% is recycled

Each digital billboard consumes about 30 times more energy than the average American household, and there are almost 9,000 just in the US

All of this for an industry that objectively makes people’s lives worse, that everyone openly hates, whose only goal is to manipulate people to buy things that they by definition do not need. And this isn’t even including TV and radio ads, conventional billboards, posters, construction, maintenance, design, all the countless hours of labor spent polluting our public spaces and our minds with the sole purpose of making the rich richer

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

In the light of global warming, the struggle against advertising really is the struggle for the survival of humanity.

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Keynote Address at ADL’s 2019 Never Is Now Summit on Anti-Semitism and Hate

[socialistexan]

“I’ve searched my conscience, and I can’t for the life of me find any justification for this, and I simply cannot accept that there are on every story two equal and logical sides to an argument”

[ruffboi-mags]

I… have to admit i was kind of gobsmacked to realize that’s the borat guy, but his point is eloquent and good so keep kicking ass, dude.

[j-sillabub]

Despite being known best for his comedy characters, Sacha Baron Cohen is a graduate of Cambridge University, where he earned a history degree after writing his undergraduate thesis on the American civil rights movement. His mother’s family were German Jews and his father’s family were Ashkenazi Jews; he is also the grandson of a Holocaust survivor. He understands this issue all too well.

Hey people, I have a favor to ask.

In my city, there is a non profit organization called "Fundacja Zmieńmy Świat" (Let's change the world). Since 2002, they've been campaigning for more humanitarian treatment of animals, educating about ecology, reducing waste and being more environmentally friendly.

But most importantly, for 18 years now they've been taking care of sick, homeless and abandoned cats, treating them in their cat hospital and cat sanctuary, giving them a home and a chance for a better life.

And now, with covid pandemic getting more and more out of control in Poland, they're at risk of shutting down.

Right now, there is about 50 cats that are under their care. And many more will come. Usually schools would organize events to gather supplies and cat food for them, but with lockdown and online classes it is impossible. And almost nobody knows about this place.

Please, if you have even 1pln to spare, please consider donating to them. Every penny counts. It makes a difference between them staying open and shutting down, leaving all those cats alone.

Here's the link to donations:

Covid 19 zaprząta uwagę wszystkich, wszystko inne wydaje się schodzić na dalszy plan. Tymczasem my działamy bez żadnych przerw. Bo jak mogli

And here's a link to their Facebook:

Please, if you don't have money to spare, spread it around. If there are any questions, I'll happily answer them and translate if needed!

And remember- foreign currency is worth much more than Polish złoty, so even 5 Euro can make a world of a difference!

Please, help us save this place.

Minnesota is breaking treaties with Anishinaabe bands and building a pipeline

[sereniv]

Are there going to be protests thus bail funds etc or something else that will help like calling offices etc?

[indigenousfawn]

Here you can donate to honor the earth (indigenous org) or directly to the front lines for bail etc. They’ve also got a letter you can sign on that page, as well as the option to sign up to participate (hosting events, protesting, etc).

Or you can call Tim Walz and tell him this is unacceptable.

yall southern states got dinosaurs running around and yall make jokes about new york having rats

[scruffsmcgoogle-deactivated2019]

But they are places to be expected.

NY rats take the subway and be trying to sell their mixtapes and shit.

[ayellowbirds]

That’s an Australian accent.

That’s a croc, not a gator—specifically, it’s a big ol’ saltie.

The rats don’t sell mixtapes, you’re thinking of pigeons. The rats play acoustic guitar.

[thyrell]

4: those things are way older than dinosaurs

[patrickat]

5: Australia still has dinosaurs.

[sbsrandomshitblog]

6: The dinosaurs won a war with Australia.

[systlin]

7; that victory wasn’t even close

[ur-local-pair-of-binoculars-dea]

8: the war happened only 88 years ago. There are people alive now who probably remember the war which lasted a month and 8 days

9: Only 986 birds out of 20,000 died

10: it takes exactly 10 rounds of bullets to kill one emu

[atwitchyship]

So I went and googled this because… tbh I was 50/50 on whether they were fucking with us or not.

THEY’RE NOT.

The Great Emu War of 1932 is a real thing, and it’s the weirdest effing thing I’ve ever googled.
