As Joe Biden competes with Donald Trump to impose Trump's anti-immigrant policies, we once again urge you to read No Wall They Can Build, our book exploring the forces that compel people to cross borders, the obstacles that states put in their way, and how the ruling class benefits from this at the expense of ordinary people, both documented and undocumented.

TIL that "Dinner" (the big meal) used to be around midday so artificial light wasn't needed, and then "Supper" was an evening snack. Dinner moved later in the day during the 18th century, until it was so late a new meal was needed to bridge the gap: "Lunch." [source, comments]

Good Idea: Chocolate without added sugar

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jun/01/scientists-develop-method-of-making-healthier-more-sustainable-chocolate

Chocolate is basically a pumpkin and so far we are only using the seeds.

The researchers used the waste flesh and juice of the cocoa fruit to make a gel that can be added to chocolate instead of powdered crystalline sugar that is traditionally used.
The study found that in a lab the new method used 6% less land and water but increased planet-heating emissions by 12% because it required an extra drying step that consumed large amounts of energy.
But by scaling up the process – and drying the pulp in the sun or using solar panels – they found that greenhouse gas emissions could fall.
