I get at least 5 bs calls a day.

Definitions:
Capturing any person against the person’s will and without due process is kidnapping – not arrest.
Transporting a kidnapped person to another country without due process: human trafficking.
A brutal extra judicial prison for individuals found guilty of no crime: a concentration camp.

Our government and law enforcement agencies are now engaged in kidnapping, human trafficking, and sending people to concentration camps.

Gotta love it when the richest dudes running America abolish support for the poorest children in the world. WWJD?

seeing a lot of infighting on the timeline today and I know everyone is operating at their limit but I think it's worth remembering that we're all on the same side and then maybe recalibrating to point your anger in the direction of the fascists instead of each other idk

I’ve heard talk of “Biden bombs are worse than Trump bluster.” Open to considering this as a better outcome than endless war, but neither of those two outcomes is good for Palestinians, and almost all USA domestic outcomes worse under Trump.

Trump golf course on the Gaza riviera? This is definitely better than a Harris administration would’ve done. 🙄

JT was and is a ripping bass playing god.

Reminder that a regime doesn’t need to be as bad as Nazis to qualify as really really really bad. Being “only” 1/10th Nazi is no victory, and no solace for those in opposition.

Well, Ivanka’s never not been a piece of shit, so…yeah. Par for the course.

This motherfucker here.

You spend years platforming and agreeing with Nazis and the next thing you know people are not charitably interpreting a hand gesture

I’ve been hoping we might get a Maintenance Phase about “anti-aging” grifts in the wellness space.

This is a very good joke.

If you cannot afford to tip well, you cannot afford to eat out. AND…the tipped minimum wage is a disgrace.

Some may make soup as good as mine. Very few make better. The world is a dumpster fire but at least I can soothe via broth-based Prozac.

Trump has tapped an unprecedented 13 billionaires for his administration. Here's who they are President-elect Donald Trump has assembled the wealthiest presidential administration in modern history, with at least 13 billionaires set to take top government posts.

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Also, I don't blame our loss on "DEI firefighters" or space lasers or antifa or Gavin Newsom or wokeness not allowing forest floors to be raked. There's no cartoon villain here. This was a catastrophic wind storm that caused bone dry vegetation to ignite. It's climate change.
