Give Me a Name; I've Never Heard My Voice or Seen My Face
After my root canal yesterday morning I checked out books (I work in a university library) to a tenured professor and enthusiastic 2ionist who was talking at a student accompanying him/her/they and extolling Gigi's benocide, 2ionist professor exclaiming he/she/they just signed with a major publisher for his/her/their book on October 7th as justification for Gazan eradication, when I finished and handed him/her/them the books he/she/they said, Good to see you again, Jeff, you're quiet today, and I said... have a nice day. He/she/they said, I'll get you a copy of the book, I plan to mention you in the acknowledgments (I've helped him/her/they for three decades with course reserves, with finding and acquiring material necessary for his/her/their research, with waiving literally tens of thousands of dollars of fines when he/she/they wouldn't return that and other material on time if at all, with locked private space in the Library). Please don't, I said, he/she/they said, what, with the copy? no, I said, with the acknowledgment. He/she/they looked at me, got it. As of now I still have my job
Vanity domain name renewal time, email from blooger itself and from two of the three companies who they subcontracted to handle domain names since I first domained this shitty blog in 2010, due to autorenew or not between today and July 19th, usually works without a flaw though twice it's been a shitshow, if this shitty blog disappears that's why, probably. It may surprise you that Robert Pollard has a new project and the project a new album

Oh ffs. People just don't get it.
Yes, it's too late to stop catastrophic climate change.
But it's not too late to stop apocalyptic climate change.

my opinion is that i hope he is right, but he may be too optimistic
but i have no crystal ball - i'm an ordinary guy from an ordinary part of the world

i asked muck's word sausage machine zeta if the world will be a more peaceful place when humans are gone - zeta refers to "our activities" in its reply
That's a thought-provoking question. When considering whether the world would be more peaceful without humans, it's essential to acknowledge the complexity of peace and conflict.
Human Impact on the World
Humans have undoubtedly had a significant impact on the world, often disrupting ecosystems and causing harm to other species and the environment. Our activities have led to:
Environmental degradation: pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction Species extinction: human actions have contributed to the loss of biodiversity Conflict and violence: humans have a history of conflict, often driven by factors like resources, territory, and ideology
Peace Without Humans?
In the absence of humans, the world might experience a reduction in certain types of conflict, such as:
War and violence: humans would no longer be engaging in armed conflicts, terrorism, or other forms of violence
Environmental degradation: without human activities, ecosystems might have a chance to recover and thrive
However, other forms of conflict and predation would likely continue, including:
Interspecies predation: predators would still hunt prey, and ecosystems would continue to function with their natural dynamics
Intraspecies conflict: animals would still compete for resources, territory, and mates, leading to conflicts within their own species
Conclusion
While the world might experience a reduction in certain types of conflict without humans, it's unlikely to be a completely peaceful place. Ecosystems would continue to function with their natural dynamics, including predation and competition. The concept of peace is complex and multifaceted, and its meaning can vary depending on the context and perspective.
