The most heartbreaking part of this is when, seconds after saying "I realized the technician was molesting me," Sally Fields says "& it was just, you know, this absolute pit of shame."
"Absolute pit of shame." Bc a grown man was hurting her, a 17 yo, at her most vulnerable. And yes. Women do know.

You can be a giant baby about it all you want, but the even the most absurd-seeming Russia Russia Russia shit people complain about all the time was right. They were paying rightwing influencers and Putin was effectively a friend and mentor to Trump the whole time.

Also, look at these instructions for how to open the door without power and try to imagine doing this as your car sinks into a pond.

Exiting a Tesla Model X that has gone into water that is too deep and so immediately lost power (and in at least one documented case also caught fire) requires the car's occupant, without guidance from any visible indicators, to partially disassemble the door and pull an unlabeled wire.

Anyway, please eradicate from your climate lexicon the idea that India and China are intractable problems in the climate sphere. Both of them are rapidly installing renewable energy--and it makes sense because they are both a lot more vulnerable to climate impacts.
