The iced coffee thing is born out of the same impulse as “but what was she wearing,” “he had preexisting conditions,” “well, didn’t they know [traditional clothing] is unprofessional?” Anything to shift blame from systemic failures to a group of people already conveniently scapegoated.

💡 People who think: • "If we give people UBI & meet basic needs, people will stop working & be lazy." 💡 Often also think: • "Billionaires are hard workers." These two contradictory ideas held at the same time are called cognitive dissonance. It makes thinking impossibly hard. 🌬️💨💨💨💨💨

Trump’s “I am the law,“ his desire to plaster his mug and name over everything, is part of his narcissism. So is his fear of being forgotten after he dies. There is no reason, none, why we should let them remain after he leaves office. Not one monument to his vanity and narcissism should remain.

Guys, guys!!! I think I have figured out a solution. I call it "German AC"!

Illustration of Maxwell's demon from Wikipedia
By User:Htkym - Own work, CC BY 2.5, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=1625737

Labels have been added: Maxwell's demon is German AC, one gas chamber is inside, the other one outside.
The second panel says: The German AC only lets fast (= hot) molecules pass outside, thus lowering room temperature without creating surplus heat.

Maxwell's demon is a thought experiment to ostensibly disprove the second law of thermo dynamics. From wikipedia:
In the thought experiment, a demon controls a door between two chambers containing gas. As individual gas molecules (or atoms) approach the door, the demon quickly opens and closes the door to allow only fast-moving molecules to pass through in one direction, and only slow-moving molecules to pass through in the other. Because the kinetic temperature of a gas depends on the velocities of its constituent molecules, the demon's actions cause one chamber to warm up and the other to cool down. This would decrease the total entropy of the system, seemingly without applying any work, thereby violating the second law of thermodynamics.
