Thank you for including the Environmental Defense Fund on this list!! I’ve been with EDF for about 3 years and can attest that it is an organization filled with people who care deeply about finding the ways that work to address climate change. Not sure if this is allowed in the comments, but wanted to add that if you’re interested in the ways eNGOs can work directly with the private sector to hold companies to account, and push for meaningful change, consider earmarking your donation for EDF+Business (https://business.edf.org). It’s an incredibly smart, dedicated team working across sectors from sustainable finance to reducing methane emissions of national oil companies in the Middle East.
I used to work in a factory that due to union contract closed Thanksgiving week for the start of deer season. It never failed that one or two people died in 'hunting accidents'.
It's scary: Many dictatorships knew what they were doing. The cohesion of cruelty, if you will.
But now?
We've a collection of clowns willing to throw each other under the fucking bus to cover their own asses as a matter of their idiotic atrocities. I say there is no greater concoction of fear and disconcertion than stupidity and destruction.
I took a long walk in Lenox Mass. today at sunset. The sky was beautiful: cold weather clouds, dark in the center and pink around the edges. A waxing moon. Temps were around 32, but felt colder because of wind. I wore a light, well insulated jacket so I was comfortable. Lenox has beautiful old houses and a compact commercial district of shops and restaurants. We ate at a place called Zinc, where I ordered fried oysters as a starter. Scrumptious.
So last week Sen Kelly et al came out and warned the military about not following illegal orders. The White House got their knickers in a twist because PAB never illegal stuff/treason/etc. We know Hegseth didn't bomb the boats himself so I'm wondering about the guy who got the order to bomb the boats and clearly followed it. After Kelly told them not to. It's not good.
It's interesting how much oil wells and farming tend to go together. California's Central Valley, lots of oil and farming. Southern California, lots of oil and used to have a lot of farming. South Dakota, oil and farming. Oklahoma, oil and farming.
Right about now, Fukui firing up the Lambo with the 75,000 cherry bombs we got for pennies a unit in tow. About to visit some prep schools, Ginger as spokes.

1. Soak a pound of (white) yellow-eye or soldier beans (we use these in Maine)
for a day or overnight. Rinse those fuckers and rinse 'em some more. JUST DO IT.
2. Cut up a half-pound of salt pork into thick slices, maybe 6. Lay in bean pot. (earthenware, as in pottery. Nothing else. NO, nothing else) (No. Bacon. EVER. Only. Salt. Pork.)
3. Peel and cut up a BIG yellow onion into 6 wedges. Throw in pot.

Bartender called me by my name. This is my third visit this year ...
.Crap people know me.
Just watched "Three Kings" with Mr. Snot. More complex (and interesting) than I remembered. What a great movie!
FYI, for all who are interested in food fights; my correct recipe for real baked beans is below.
I first read that as corrupt recipe and thought I'm in
When does the peanut butter go in?
BTW, her recipe is codswallop and the pressure cooker one is better
You put the beans in the pot and then you put the pot in the pressure cooker and everybody gets along.
Sick. You're sick. And a criminal.

Let the throwing commence!
The keystone cops of evil.
Nobody's laughing.
The movie is over if you would like to join us there for OT.

That is actually Savatage. And Chris Oliva wrote that. This is what started it all.
This is a good one.

Special Ops Commander, Seal Team Six, I read. No, it is not.
That's the guy they will throw under the bus.
Hadn't thought of that but the janitor who discovered the Watergate break in lost his.
Honour among thieves and all that.
Well, okay, I see we have the the whole crew here. Question is, can we make bail?
Probably not.
Thank Christ.
I got $50 cash, and a certificate for free small Wendy's frosty.
I'll take the frosty, you can keep the fifty bux.
I've got BOGO for Zoo Lights.
Ooooh, we can use those!
I think this is our best hope.
Linus has moolah!

LINUS!
Also, that's what gallbladder does when you offer him a non-alcoholic drink
My man's not wrong.
I'm printing as fast as I can.
Try not to print $500 bills: that foiled us before.
I hope he's not trying to print out Canadian bux, that's never going to work.
I'm not that loony
Oy!
Imma print euros.
That's why you're the brains behind the operation.
I left my wallet at home. Sorry.
This was your fucking idea!!!
It was Chickenz fault.
If you have bailing wire, we can make hay.
I actually have some but I live in oil patch/farm country.
It's interesting how much oil wells and farming tend to go together. California's Central Valley, lots of oil and farming. Southern California, lots of oil and used to have a lot of farming. South Dakota, oil and farming. Oklahoma, oil and farming.
If you grew up on a farm, you're going to do well in the oil patch.
I think that's a start.
Right about now, Fukui firing up the Lambo with the 75,000 cherry bombs we got for pennies a unit in tow. About to visit some prep schools, Ginger as spokes.
We're gonna make out like bandits.
I'm so stopping off at a Hobby Lobby on the way.
Oh, THAT'LL help.
*points to remote detonator*
*nods and winks*
Oh, that makes sense. I thought you were going to buy some fabric to sew a new frock for the event.
EVERYBODY STAND BACK!!
Why the fuck isn't he using the DeLorean like i recommend?
I said to gallbladder "steal a DeLorean" and he came back with a WankPanzer.
Great Scott! Please tell me you at least got the flux capacitor.
I got one off ebay for cheap. Some fool had tried to put one in an Incel Camino but it kept breaking down before it got to 88.8mph.
Was he pushing it? Because those things are always breaking down.
How DARE you, sir!
Have you done your assignments yet for our super-sekrit caper next month?
What are you, my mom?!?
And by the way, thanks for blowing our cover.
I didn't tell them anything but sure I will take a time out. It will be awhile since it's one minute for every year of my age.

Very apropos for the Crew.
Coming soon, to Gallbladder's lawn:

That would be everyday.
I, for one, always blame Gallbladder.
So does my mom.
Time to high tail it to Finland!
To the secret lab and endless rounds of "Yar's Revenge."
EVERYBODY RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
Li'l Feller is seriously concerned.
Hamilton cooks? Is it for tacos?
I opened a can.
I can't bear this. Here:
1. Soak a pound of (white) yellow-eye or soldier beans (we use these in Maine)
for a day or overnight. Rinse those fuckers and rinse 'em some more. JUST DO IT.
2. Cut up a half-pound of salt pork into thick slices, maybe 6. Lay in bean pot. (earthenware, as in pottery. Nothing else. NO, nothing else) (No. Bacon. EVER. Only. Salt. Pork.)
3. Peel and cut up a BIG yellow onion into 6 wedges. Throw in pot.
4. Pre-heat oven to 300F
5. Boil beans for 5 mins, drain, RINSE AGAIN, damn you.
6. Dump the beans in.
7. Mix 1/2 c dark molasses, 1/2 c maple syrup, 3 Tbs Colman's dry mustard.
8. Add 2 c boiling water to that mess, stir it, dump in pot. To just cover beans.
9. Cover the pot TIGHTLY. Stick in the oven, middle rack. COOK.
10. Every fucking hour, check it: stir, add boiling water to keep just above beans.
11. It might be done in 5 hours. Take out a spoonful, blow on beans. If the skin peels off, they're done. Check & adjust seasonings.
12. Serve with slices of brown bread from a can, thickly spread with butter.
NO, there is no substitute for the fucking canned bread. Just DO IT.
*cough* I realize I have "strong feelings" about this meal; justified.
I'm sure I can get Simba to do this.
The required "surroundings"!

Bread from a can?!?!?
Do I need to break some kind of boycott to send you some Beano?
I think you are blowing this out of proportion.
😹
💨
And thus began the end of the world....
Mom used to make baked beans every Halloween. I never understood why she didn't just open up a can, they were way better.
😳. ---- in Downeaster, with my own bean pot
Mom's were always dry and bitter. I never told her that of course.
Wow. How the hell does that happen??? Mine are glorious. Probably luck, though.
