Given how much and how often NASA gets jerked around by outside parties (and one in particular), I’m sure they engineered it to be, to the best of their ability, the best hardware they’d ever be able to put into space, with a lifespan as close to indefinite as they could manage. Because it might really be the only

Exactly. Let’s not pretend this is a *new* problem. Republicans weaponized misinformation and disinformation decades ago and have been using it ever since to stay in power wherever they can. It’s just added some extra lethality to its arsenal: plagues and pandemics. Killing in the name of...

Bad as this barely habitable shithole place is, I can assure you, when it comes to heavy industry and mineral extraction, it most assuredly can be made worse. It can be turned into a literal toxic shithole in which *NOTHING* can live. Not even bacteria.

So Facebook’s solution to their extremist echo-chamber is to obliterate anything that might accidentally confirm its existence. Next thing we know, the Forest Service will helpfully inform us that the ‘best’ way to deal with forest fires is to clear cut every tree in the world. Because clearly if there are no forests,

What do you mean ‘when?’ That time is *NOW*. Oregon just experienced a mass casualty event due to extreme heat. The shit is starting to hit the fans. And this is just the tip of the mountain-of-shit iceberg ahead of us.

Fuck Texas. Nothing’s bigger in Texas but penis envy and assholes.

True story: the ‘red’ in these states is from all the people the state government is killing to maintain their power. Dyin’ to own the libs.

Brought to you by the same people howling “My body! My choice!” about being told to get vaccinated. Not that they’re hypocrites or anything.

I’m aware of the near-insurmountable challenge involved. Why it hasn’t been done. Just trying to organize something like that is mind-numbing in scale. But that just underpins the sad reality — until it is, the radicalized minority will continue to control these states. They *WILL NOT* let go. Not now. Not ever. Not

I feel sorry for the people who live in Texas and don’t want to support the Abbot-level insanity running rampant, the same way I feel sorry for people who live in Georgia and don’t support Kemp-insanity or Florida and don’t support DeSantis insanity, and all the other GOP-led states floundering around in their

It’s happened before. And it’s happening again, now. And will happen more often and last longer. In fact, most of the world’s agricultural regions are in imminent danger or will be within the next couple decades, whether through extreme heat, drought, or wildly fluctuating weather patterns.

Totally game. Just don’t make the suit animated, k? K.

Also true, and the stuff that does grow back fast also tends to dry out fast and become very flammable, making the situation worse the next time around.

Well, there are some who don’t ‘support’ a lot of what Trump did. They just don’t have the spine to admit it publicly, to say nothing of standing up to the raging Mango Hitler directly. And that’s never going to change with what happened to the handful of Republicans who did take a stand against Trump. Because staying

LB, like the rest of her constituents, live in an alternate reality apart from which they can no longer exist. Which is why no matter how stupid, no matter how totally asinine LB and other politicians like her show themselves to be to the rest of humanity, the people voting for these idiots never see them for idiots

Good. She’s been consistently great in her performances to date. Haters be damned.

Anyone who has seen as much violence and death as Geralt has, not just by monsters but by the monsters of humanity, is going to be jaded and dismissive of the company of most people. And anyone who has been around and seen as much of the world as Geralt has is going to have a fair bit of wisdom and a unique

Not quite. It already is more profitable to deal with the problem. It’s just not profitable to the right people who are milking the status quo for every last dime and penny. And they won’t stop until they die or are beaten (most likely literally, too) into submission.

That was almost literally what I was going to say. Religion has been a blight on civilization from the beginning. The unrepentant torture and murder of countless millions over thousands of years makes religion the undisputed winner of ‘Most Damaging Conspiracy.’ Religion’s death toll alone would dwarf everything else c
