    John Kerry was on All Things Considered yesterday. He's been fighting the good fight as a Biden envoy and pledges to continue working on slowing climate change [younger viewers may become alarmed and saddened by the following word. Viewer discretion advized.] warming. Made good points about progress and now focusing on the private sector.

    I just got sad. I hate that, but it's true.

    Humanity has handed the ball off on warming to natural processes already triggered by anthropormorphic impact.

    There are others that I'm forgetting. My sources are generally The New Yorker and Atlantic over the last four years or so.

    What do we get from idiots? 

    • You can destroy the lives of our children and their's, but you'll never take our hamburgers!
    • Things will cost more if we do anything. Makes any action de facto evil.
    • It's a socialist plot cooked up by the nanny-state-make-us-slaves Dems.
    • It's not happening. It was cold during the winter. So there.
    • Donald fucking Trump. Rush fucking Limbaugh. Ronald fucking Reagan. (Villain Nixon signed off on the EPA. He's a comparative hero. Let that sink in.)

    Being right will have never been less satifying than it will be for the girl whose head we patted and then dismissed.

    But don't worry, it's only Climate Change

    I heard that yesterday and was enraged by Exxon’s ceo blaming the population at large for not doing enough to combat this problem. Hope that guy gets slowly fucked with a rusty cactus

  2. The Sea Creatures That Opened a New Mystery About MH370

    Could freaky barnacles do what advanced technology couldn’t — find the missing plane?

    Quote

    “After a failed search, you have to recalibrate,” says Todd Humphreys, a professor of aeronautical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. “Sometimes you preclude the possibility of even looking for evidence because you have very strong priors against it. I think by this point, we’ve been pushed into a corner where we do need to revisit those priors.”

    Ackshully, he took umbrage with me saying rapists should never have a chance to rape again, and started his one liner goal post moving shit about false convictions.  Which leads me to believe he thinks they are worth giving a second chance. Which they are not.  Which further leads me to believe he’s ok with them serving their 10, and down ballot voting D until the next time they reoffend.   

    Inconvenient that prison demographics pretty solidly align with D voters. But the demo is the demo.  

    we can all read what you and he wrote and this is a retcon.

    half this country doesn't vote so assuming anyone votes any particular way isn't a great bet.

  4. In what world is stanning for those falsely convicted of rape stanning for rapists?

    False accusations of rape leading to felony convictions, loss of the franchise, and the death penalty were some nasty features of a certain time period of this country's history. So who is stanning for what, exactly?

    I was informed by a Canadian immigration law firm that I was a prime candidate for Saskatchewan acceptance. (SINP) And you know what rhymes with Regina...

    I also have some extended family in Australia so will try and cultivate that as well. Is there a flourishing liberal democracy anywhere?

    I'm a 6th generation Texan. How did we get here?

     

    one stat from the 2018 election was that native texans voted for beto, while transplants voted for cruz.  so it's partly due to people moving here for the "texas miracle" veneer the republican party has been selling for the last 30 years.

    Fuckin Bush 0 (dubyas grandaddy) was a key actor in the 1933 Business Plot where American business owners attempted to overthrow Roosevelt's electoral victory. They've always been goddamn fucking fascists supported by and working for corporations. 

    was he tho?

    Spoiler

    In July 2007, a BBC investigation reported that Prescott Bush, father of U.S. President George H. W. Bush and grandfather of then-president George W. Bush, was to have been a "key liaison" between the 1933 Business Plotters and the newly emerged Nazi regime in Germany,[51] although this has been disputed by Jonathan Katz as a misconception caused by a clerical research error.[52] According to Katz, "Prescott Bush was too involved with the actual Nazis to be involved with something that was so home grown as the business plot."

    And slower to accelerate, slower to break, rougher ride, more unsprung weight...  but you trade that all for looks

    My pet peeve is that you see people with tactical barbie dress up a trucks or jeeps and then they slap on big rims with small stiff sidewall tires. Off road machine indeed!

    Seems like they’re easier to break
