Fresh air and clean water. What everyone needs and deserves. This water is from ice melt partly from receding glaciers. Who knows how long it still be here. Enjoy the small things when you can.
The objective has always been chaos and instability. The war machine makes these idiots more money. An overinflated military budget means that it has to be utilized through whatever means necessary.

I'll never understand how dropping more bombs is supposed to bring peace. Whatever the case, the lunatics making these decisions seem quite gleefully content to eternally be at war.

It's weird how we are all still vacationing out there as the world burns. I get it, going on adventures is great, and if you can, then why not enjoy it while you can. But it is a strange metaphor for our existence as extinction approaches and all we want is a vacation. Not going to lie. I do too.

Have you ever noticed that tree planters haven't changed their style since 1995? Even though they weren't even born yet?

I feel like there are actors that are born to play certain roles. There isn't anyone else that could play George McFly in Back to the Future other than Crispin Glover. His offbeat deliveries were genius. Hugo Weaving as Smith in The Matrix. You could make an entire spin off just on his character.

Complexity is an emergent phenomenon that gave rise to our existence which is all a fluke. Our life on earth is but a fluke that we take for granted. We should probably be treading very lightly with gratitude instead of acting like masters of the universe.

Life is one weird fluke, and it is fragile. Hold your loved ones close to you and remind them how precious they are. Practice kindness whenever you can...

Happy Ēostre. Yes, like everything else christians stole this too. You're all a bunch of pagans, never forget that.

I think Fee-Lon Muskrat indeed may in fact be an alien hiding inside a deranged tangled mess of a meat suit. It could explain a lot of his weird, quirky behaviour. You know, random nazi salutes, bewildering dance moves and ketamine induced speech. It's an alien on holiday wreaking havoc for fun...

When you have the amount of money that Muskrat has, you're basically not even human anymore. There's no way on earth you could ever relate to anyone with that much narcissism. It's other worldly intergalactic sized narcissism.

What Trump and his bootlicking goblins did today on the world stage made one thing very clear. They stand for despotism.

First they fought the fascists, and then embraced fascism themselves. It's just all so foolish.

Imagine how it would feel if your country, the place you call home was illegally occupied for decades, bombed to oblivion, faced multiple genocides, and when finally granted passage back, some idiot buffoon wannabe dictator wants it all to himself, so he can make it into a vacation resort. Imagine.

America has been polarizing itself from the world for decades but now it's on overdrive. What's the end goal? Chaos? They've spent years investing into globalization to make the world more equal and prosperous when clearly it has not, only for the few. And yet, Dumbo Donny will burn that bridge too.

If you can't get behind this, do me a solid and kindly unfollow me. Spread love not hate. Easy peasy.

Yikes...and it's only going to get worse...
To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.

Great thread on DeepSeek. If you're wondering if we are living in some sort of dystopian sci-fi movie, then look no further. Have a read, and when you fall asleep and have nightmares you can always wake up to remind yourself...it was all just a dream...

As humans, language is a carrier of information. Autocrats, demagogues and fascists masking as leaders know this. They know the importance of language as a tool to twist minds, spread hate, and to flip reality on it's head. It's about controlling information to have power over the future.

What got you into physics? For me it was the 2nd law of thermodynamics, entropy. As soon as i did a little digging on the subject, i was hooked. Then of course everything else naturally drew me in. Is time fundamental or is it emergent? These questions keep me up at night....

Fascists are great at inverting reality. The perpetrator becomes the victim, the guilty become the innocent and so on. Ignorance is a incubator of violence, and the far right ultranationalists know this. The idiots have a voice now, and it's louder and clearly more insane than ever.

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
Don't be fooled.
