There has been a severe decrease in Kung Fu Fighting since it's Golden Age in the 70's... We are hovering over Lost Art territory... 😢

Between the unregulated fireworks, carnival rides, riding in the back of pickup trucks, (gestures around wildly at everything), and the lack of parental supervision, it's amazing that any of us survived the 70's.

Yeah, this is really happening right now. Less than 9 months to turn the most advanced country on earth into a dysfunctional, third-world, banana republic on the world's "do not travel" list. That's gotta be some kind of record, right? YAY! We're #1... or something.

Sorry kids. If you had hoped that overwhelming election results were going to get us out of this mess... you have another think coming. America got exactly what it voted for! A power-hungry felon and grifter who has no ethical or moral boundaries... what could possibly go wrong? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I posted this back in 2020, I had no idea it was going to be a Monkey's Paw wish... but here we are, just 5 years later, and Trump has turned the Whitehouse lawn into Crazy Donnie's auto mall.
A meme of an old photo that shows Trump as a used car salesman. The caption reads, This photo was smuggled across realities to give us a glimpse of the proper timeline. The one we were robbed of. Admit it, this feels right.A real photo of Trump and Musk in front of the Whitehouse filming a big car commercial for Tesla under the guise of being a press conference.

They are literally "scorching the earth" behind their crime spree. Gov workers now being told to illegally shred and burn classified docs. "Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break" This can't be undone. We are at war.

The most insanely and sickeningly unprofessional thing was just posted on the EPA website. This kind of pure propaganda on an official gov site has got to violate some prior acts of congress... or is this something else that we never planned for? (Saved to web archive before it gets deleted.)

I'm seriously crying right now. The ocean is one of the primary pillars of our entire ecology. Acidification causes the calcium carbonate "skeletons" of our reef creatures to literally dissolve, which is just as lethal as bleaching tissue death caused by the ocean temps rising. This is NOT fine!
