Your 'doom quote' for today: "It’s extraordinary to realise that we are witnessing the great unravelling; the beginning of the end of things. I honestly never thought I’d live to see the start of what sometimes feels like the apocalypse." www.climatecodered.org/2023/06/what...

The core of everything is corruption. The cruelty, the fascism, the destruction of democracy and reality itself, it's all a means of self-enrichment and empowerment of a class of people that do not give two shits whether we live or die if it means stuffing their pockets.

Just to be clear... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.

One of the rarely acknowledged benefits of Trump to our corrupt system is how his fantastically foul and nakedly self serving stink provides cover for regular corrupt creeps like Barack "Citibank" Obama.

Climate change has stopped the next Ice Age For thousands of years, Earth’s orbital cycles favoured cooler northern summers, the kind of conditions that help ice sheets grow. Then GHG emissions changed the balance reversing ~2,000 years of ice-sheet expansion. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We would save a lot of time and really get to the business at hand if we could stop dancing around the fact that what's happening with Yglesias, Neera Tanden, the Democrats and their stewards and subordinates at large, is an attempt to maintain power and wealth gained from wealth class partnerships.

In connection to coming climate breakdown I have been warning of the need for this for years But it will take a lot more than advising on personal actions We will need to be on a government-led 'war' footing to even begin to tackle what's coming www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

NBA 1st night: - The Heat need another ball handler, shooter. Would Malcolm Brogden come out of retirement? -One of the few good things last yr for the Kings was Nique Clifford. Now he’s 3rd off the bench? - the Utah Jazz are… fun? - Crappy 1st game but Brandon Miller is going to score 30 ppg

- weirdly Boston's season hinges on either Jordan Walsh or Hugo Gonzalez becoming a + rotation player - The Warriors roster is awfully close to being horrible -I'm still on the GG Jackson train - It's going to take two months but then the Boozer triple doubles start piling up.

oh literally FUCK Joe Manchin. He spent his day today campaigning in Maine for Susan Collins. He is working to hand the US Senate to Trump and keep the MAGA agenda alive.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.
