Nice touch with calling is project Arrow, a reference to the Avro Arrow that we cancelled under pressure from the US administration of the time.

The explosive addition of thermal energy, which was almost 40 times greater than all the energy humanity used that year, comes amid far-reaching changes to the deep water bodies fundamental to life on Earth.

This isn't the apocalyptic crisis your looking for. You can go about your business. Move along, move along. To be clear, the jedi mind trick is media and governments downplaying, and all the low information conspiracy theorists drowning out the legitimate science telling us to wake the fuck up.

It’s not an “impossible position”. Sheeran is a very wealthy, successful musician who was asked by a stadium owner to kick a fellow musician off his tour for political reasons. He could choose to kick Macklemore off or to say no thanks, we’ll play elsewhere. www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

If you haven't, I encourage you to take a few moments to watch and read his words, and then to ask yourself if you are a reasonable person. If you decide that yes you are, then next ask yourself if a reasonable person can justify an ongoing genocide in #Gaza as a reasonable position to support. /2

#FreePalestine is not antisemitic. Criticism of the state of Israel is not antisemitic. I, in my limited voice here, stand with the words spoken by #Macklemore on stage, and in his written press release response to being removed from the tour by #EdSheeran under pressure from powerful people. /1

Look, I'm no Harris enthusiast, but basic politics and how they manifest for people (agencies like the CFPB), she's closer to Bernie than Trump. Trump and Bernie are a whole spectrum & ethical scale separated. If Joe can't see that he's a fucking idiot, not a politically independent freethinker.
