Christian Nationalists and Project 2025 have a radical scheme to remake your weekends, July 30, 2024 Rob Boston
"...Let’s be clear about what is being proposed here: This proposal would restrict your ability to decide what you want to do on Sunday...Never mind that Jews, Muslims, the nonreligious and some Christians...don’t keep Sunday as the sabbath – which means it’s hardly “communal.”
Note Berry’s use of the term “day of rest.” At first glance, that might sound nice to some stressed-out workers. But what’s really being called for here is a restriction on how you choose to spend your free time. Perhaps you’d like to spend Sunday meeting a friend for lunch, visiting a museum, taking in a sporting event or doing some shopping. Religious extremists want to stop you from doing those things..."

Many Popular Houses in L.A. Were Part of a Scam by a Con Artist Who Disappeared - Yet the homes are still in high demand, by Laura Kaiser November 9, 2023
"...it was cheap land, low taxes, and a booming population that attracted Janes. ...he had dispatched scores of construction workers across dozens of newly cut lots. ...They assembled a house a day. Altadena did not require building permits, so no blueprints were filed, but it appears that Janes tweaked widely available single-story house plans to include English cottage touches such as nested, “cat-slide” gables & steep Coldswold-inspired roofs with warped...shingles.
He then hawked his quaint properties relentlessly... Acting as agent, designer, financier, and booster for one of the country’s first mass-produced housing developments, Janes was “ahead of his time in terms of vertical integration,” says Altadena historian Michele Zack. “For a fly-by-nighter, he must have been kind of brilliant.”

Creative Resilience in a World-in-Crisis: It’s more than Doomerism! Part 2, By Simon Cottle, originally published by Resilience.org July 9, 2024
"...The charge of doomerism is typically based on...individualism, simplistic psychologism and...piecemeal reforms, rather than a historical & socio-cultural analysis of forces of decline, political economy, complex systems and how civil societies & govts collectively become aware & variously resist, negotiate & prosecute change. It fits very well indeed, in other words, with dominant media practices and its existential aversion that fails to recognize the holistic nature and complexly interconnected & endemic trajectories of decline...
...It is through the widening cracks of a world-in-crisis that our part in the web-of-life, paradoxically, is thrown into sharper relief.."

You Can’t Arrest a Housing Shortage: Why Anti-Homelessness Laws Don’t Work, by Daniel Herriges July 3, 2024
"...The research is quite clear on this: Homelessness reaches epidemic levels in communities where housing is far too expensive and there is not enough of it.
Let’s unpack this a little. There are individual determinants of homelessness, and there are societal determinants of homelessness. The former are factors in someone’s life that might explain why an individual becomes unhoused. The latter are the reasons the rate of chronic homelessness varies dramatically from one city or region to another.
...Arresting those sleeping on the streets, cycling them in and out of jail or levying fines they almost certainly can’t pay is not any sort of effective response to the problem. It’s not even a Band-Aid for the problem; it’s more like vaguely dabbing at an open wound with a tissue..."

Agree, which for all practical purposes means the government is going to have to buy the land/homes from the families or payoff their mortgages so they can go build somewhere else. The land is essentially worthless, and simply selling it to the next sucker should not be permitted.

Whose Independence Day? By Eliza Daley, originally published by By my solitary hearth July 8, 2024
"...let’s be honest… this country was founded upon slave labor & theft of property. It kept that slave labor & property theft in its Constitution. It still rests on slave labor in all but name and it still resists returning property to the commonwealth. What is the race to the bottom but the absolute need of slave wages in this economic structure. If people were free to demand at least wages that could support their pursuit of life and liberty & maybe happiness, then there are no profits. Similarly, if land is held in common to support all life (and liberty and maybe happiness), there is no way to extract private wealth.
...This country is based on the idea of the sanctity of property, not life, not even human life (or liberty or happiness). Property rights come before human rights..."

Why adaptation to climate change misses the mark, By Kurt Cobb, originally published by Resource Insights July 7, 2024
"...The number one reason adaptation will be so costly is that climate change is a moving target. Sea level, temperature, and severe weather are not going to simply reach a new constant level to which we can adapt for the long run. On the contrary, these are all moving targets. Infrastructure improvements made today which are meant to last 20, 30, even 50 years are unlikely to address the ever-rising sea level, temperatures and severe weather in those periods. We have been consistently surprised by the pace of climate change. There is no reason to believe that the surprises will magically cease..."

That particular insurance rider is available for all kinds of businesses and organizations, which tells you what white christian culture is all about - sexually and physically overpowering and exploiting anyone who can't fight back. Except sometimes they get caught - hence the existence of this type of insurance. It's a plantation mindset - people as property to do with as they will. White American christians can't seem to outgrow it - or even want to outgrow it. The entire Project 2025 is built on the idea that white christianity should be the owners of everyone and have the right to exploit, control, and punish anyone. It's arrogant brutality writ large for the world to see.

One thing I read somewhere and used when they were young is to never make a child say "I'm sorry," because they're not, it promotes lying, and disrespects their feelings. Instead have them say "I apologize for my behavior." It removes the self-identification of "bad" as you point out such and such could have been handled better - their reaction was not preferred, but they are not bad people.

I'd say that's a sign they're extremely hungry. They can smell when things are ripe, so the the fact they're willing to give it a shot when they clearly aren't ready might indicate there is something seriously wrong in the environment there.

Lars Homestead - Nefta, Tunisia
The original movie set for the home of 'Star Wars' hero Luke Skywalker.
"...Located just outside the town of Naftah (Nefta) in the Eastern part of the country, the small dome represents the entrance to a below-ground-level home. First constructed in 1976 when the film crew for Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope arrived in Tunisia, after serving its purpose Lars Homestead was left to decay in the middle of the desert.
...In the year 2000, after decades of abandonment, the iconic home was reconstructed for the latest installment of series, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones. After filming concluded, once again the homestead was left to the whims of this unforgiving environment. Several years later, the dome was given an unexpected new lease on life and sympathetically restored, this time by a dedicated group of international Star Wars movie enthusiasts..."

No, not a sinlge one. They're still fine with it, because those hamas supporters knew they were there, being tortured, being starved, and they told no one. They're posting tiktoks by the hundreds every week but not once reached out to any international authority to get help or let someone know where they were.
