Greed and chaos, get rich quick schemes meet corruption. The (South Sea) BUBBLERS bubbl'd (c 1720). I swear I wasn't looking for it I just opened a drawer @jcblibrary.bsky.social.

An 18th century satirical cartoon showing a group of men with long period wigs and frock coats in an exchange/ market whirling around holding pieces of paper showing how much money they've lost. A long poem inscribed on the bottom about their folly, a list of speculative endeavors unfurled at the center.

Once again: politics in this country is not a serious business. The idea that you can't have more than two parties when both of them are so manifestly unfit for purpose is pathetic. It is long past time for US citizens to find more respect for themselves and ditch this disgraceful duopoly

The most frustrating thing about the conspiracy of lies we have all been subjected to about Joe Biden's fitness for office for two years now is that it was not in service of some great agenda. Their goal was to prove they could beat Trump by promising nothing and delivering less

a colleague reminded me today that the day after the election, I said to him that the question is not when Trump will crash and burn because he has surrounded himself with sycophantic morons, but rather how much he will destroy on his way down. I think I will avoid said colleague tomorrow.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

he's really so stupid and I can't stand it. if you warmed up mars and melted the water, the water would evaporate into space. Mars can't have a habitable atmosphere in its current state bc it has no magnetic field. solar winds strip away everything that isn't stuck to the surface.

musk on twitter:
Mars probably had liquid oceans a long time ago, before it cooled. Now, there are vast fields of ice covered by red dust.

If we warm up the planet, the oceans will return and the atmosphere will densify, making it possible to extend life to Mars.
