Really, we have known the trouble we were in for almost half a century. CO2 has continued skyward since then. Why does anyone think we are going to act to undo the mess. Why does anyone even think it is POSSIBLE to do so? Lotsa wishcasting and denial of basic physics. Oh well.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Putin needs Ukraine to be fake. ㅤ Richard Gere said Putin rewrites history by denying Ukraine’s language, culture and existence. ㅤ That is the imperial trick: deny a people’s past, then call conquest “history.” Support link is in our Bio.

Indeed, Trumpism's unvarnished expression of the real, its "authenticity," is a central part of its appeal. It offers liberation from the constraints and inhibitions, the "straight-jacket," of socially acceptable behavior. It frees the animal passions from the neuroses of the "civilized."
