Could you imagine the outcry if any terrestrial ecosystem was exploited in such a destructive manner?
I will forever be haunted by this footage.

Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.

What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening:

“Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.”

She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

"why are all of these violent, paranoid sex freaks who see the entire world in terms of dominance taking over our politics," people say about a bunch of 50-year-old guys with off-the-charts T whom you can hear grinding their teeth from space
"gear and stimulants make men fascist" underrated as an explanation
"A new lifestyle" is a very generous assessment of "he started doing HGH and paying for a endless parade of threeways with Latvian 19 year-olds and his Real Doll"

Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice).

1. Refused to violate the law.
2. Refused to violate the Constitution.
3. Refused to bow or scrape.
4. Refused to bend a knee.
5. Deleted this stupid email.

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."
