It took hundreds of millions of years for enough biomatter to compress and create all of the oil on earth. It will take less than 250 years for humans to hoover it all up, burn it, and spew the waste into the sky. Thank you, patriarchy for spitting on term "sustainability" in every way.

every time i see a pic of this piece of shit I shudder and cringe.

wow...i actually NEVER thought any person would see Loomer emerge from trumps butthole. I mean, she is still a racist piece of shit, but now maybe it will just be her own shit she is covered in, and not trumps....

agreed. I resist like the survival of human society depends on it...because it does. Apathy is what the oligarchs want...quiet, mindless drones that toil by day and consume electronic opium by night. Homie ain't goin out like that.

yes, of course, agreed. I am holding out hope that the best parts of your country (I am a neighbor from the frozen north, AKA Canada) rise up and let sanity, compassion and common sense prevail. All the resisters on here give me hope that could happen, so have at er!

I have only ever been there once, but damn if it isn't one of the coolest, prettiest (so GREEN) and most progressive cities I have been to. The way it is being characterized by MAGAts is quite repugnant.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alfred bestington @kattamuuran.bsky.social · 2d

agreed. I hope eventually they expand it to include any folks who don't end up paying taxes each year. I mean, I pay payroll taxes but have dependents, and I have "simple" taxes (for an accountant), but complicated for my brain, and I would love an "autofile" option.

more than willing to take one for "team sanity". All jokes aside, doing many things up here in the frozen north to resist all the fascist, xenophobic assholes that exist here. I am encourage when I come on this platform in seeing all the folks not just talking, but taking action. We will prevail.

at this point my partner and I have a Trump bottle, a Putin bottle, a Miller bottle, a Noem bottle, several bottles for some of the swamp rats up here in Canada, I mean, at this point if things finally take a turn towards sanity....I run the risk of becoming an instant alcoholic.

I especially love that it's Jesse W. interviewing him each time...they are probably Grindr buddies.

ok, i wish ALL The air traffic controllers just.stopped.working. What would the MAGAt's do? It's not like they can hire a legion of kid rock impersonators to do the job.....or, heaven forbid....immigrants. small effects have huge impacts. I wish ALL the air traffic controllers just.stopped.working.
