Humanity could be on the cusp of a civilizational collapse, according to population ecologist William Rees.
"Humanity has already exceeded the long-term human carrying capacity of the earth," Rees said.

@juglugs I also read Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem. The subtitle is very apt: On the Banality of Evil. She made the point that it wasn't just the handful of monsters and sociopaths at the top, but rather a mass of ordinary, average Germans who enabled and empowered the actions of the state by simply "following orders."

That postwar excuse was recently used by defendants in the trials of the Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

@gamingonlinux But is there an emulator or way to run Windows games on Linux (via Steam, Epic or EA servers)? I'd like to switch but don't want to lose my gaming.

@adamconover I usually copy posts from FB and the app-formerly-know-as-Twitter, so help populate Mastodon with posts, especially Canadian news and content.
