I’m posting this again because it’s even more relevant today than it was a month ago. Besides, it’s an amazing song. youtu.be/Viu_j2c1vWc

It’s straight up bribery & corruption. Besides contacting my senators I don’t know what else to do. Responses to people posting about it are dismissive, Trump being Trump. But why do we allow it? It’s our gov’t, our country, can we please do something? If we do nothing, we deserve all he does to us.
The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.
What the fuck are we doing here?

I’ve always loved this song but it struck me as so relevant when I listened to it yesterday.

JD Vance is a massively unrestrained douchebag. I dislike him with the burning intensity of the sun. He’s the perfect poster boy for the off-putting traits of the US. He’s bullying, ignorant, self-important, cringe and a blowhard. After his Laura Ingram interview, I had to get this off my brain.

Because melting permafrost isn’t a rampaging wildfire or killer hurricane, it’s ignored. I’d guess most people outside of Alaska and other Arctic regions aren’t aware if it or the real danger it poses. How do we fight this when science is under attack because the truth eats into corporate profits?
The frozen carbon of the northern permafrost is on the move – we estimated by how much. By Pep Canadell and Gustaf Hugelius, writing for The Conversation, via the @alaskabeacon.com:

Thaw is a problem because permafrost holds enormous amounts of carbon, more than twice as much as is already present in the atmosphere.

I hate the fact that any sentence involving Uranus still makes me laugh.

As I was looking through my Twitter feed one last time before deactivating, I saw this. This is what I liked about it once upon a time.

I’ve been afraid to ever post anything other than a reply at the other place for fear of sounding like an idiot. But here, screw it. The idiot comes out of the box.
