Pro wrestling discourse over on the bird site is rotting everyone's brains and I need some of y'all to pull yourselves out of it 😛
It's 2025 you don't need to know what ancient jobbers of never been-era's think about what's happening today. Leave them to their diaper filling #wrestlesky

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

You know this website has made it when the old guard punditry is trying to stir up the tired “echo chamber” discourse because there’s no one here to insulate them from public opinion that they suck. They got so mad about this on Twitter a billionaire bought it and ruined it. Time to tap the sign:
