butterflies taste with their feet

And the video was basically trying to find something "good" in those villains and it started with the Judge and the good thing they listed was "he saved the Idiot from drowning" which had me like NOOOO-

The idiot (called so by the text) is a disabled person called James Robert Bell who was imprisoned by his brother in a wooden cage and used as an attraction to make money.

At some point women see him like this and judge the shit out of his brother, take him out of the cage which they burn down, clean him up and give him clothes.

After that he walks towards the large river and would have drowned had Judge Holden not gotten hold of him.

And I'm thinking NO, do not even think about seeing this as an act of kindness because Judge Holden KEEPS THE GUY AS A PET!

The video did continue by saying that this act is still iffy because "he prolly just did it because the idiot is easy to manipulate" and I'm thinking NOOOOO-

The Judge is manipulating everyone else! He manipulates the gang, he manipulates the authorities, the manipulates the Apache, he manipulates anyone who is not the main character Kid (who refuses to engage with him like the smart boi he is)

What he does to James Robert is NOT manipulation, its stripping him of all humanity because he liked the idea of a human pet.

I remember watching Wendigoon's video on the book and while I like the fella I found his interpretation of the Judge taking James Robert in to be off, saying "He seems to have a soft spot for him" NO, a soft spot is what the Janitor from Scrubs feels for Elliot, Judge Holden was just trying out a human pet fetish with an unwilling participant.

I honestly consider the fact that James Robert is a disabled person to be reason these ideas even exist, that what the Judge does to him isn't the horror it actually is because it doesn't happen to an abled person of solid mind. When it's pretty much even MORE horrifying to happen to a disabled person because he couldn't defend himself, and neither can actually disabled people who are treated like objects and/or pets by their caretakers or support workers.

Honestly, James Robert's part of the story was one of the more harder things for me personally to stomach because I got to know a lot of heavily-disabled people who would be defenseless against such horrible treatment. The amount of joy I felt when the women in the book finally commented on how horrible this treatment is was indescribable.

Despite my support for iran against the US empire, I never believe in demeaning people like satrapi who have a more complex relationship with iran and was victimized in childhood by religious dogma. But at the end of the day her worldview was "theres fanatics and everybody else" without ever really questioning who the fanatics are, why Europe and America with false civil liberties would be concerned with the civil liberties of the mena region. Its so easy to fall to the liberal to neo to right wing pipeline when u never confront your worldview

Here she just regurgitates zionist propaganda that iran is the head of all these resistance groups

She said about leftist politician Melenchon saying his relationship to "hamas is quiet" and thinks hes an antisemite which is just lines repeated by right wing zionist media

Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?

The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!

This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.

Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:

Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or

Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.

The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.

The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).

Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.
