Toronto playing #Meghantheestallion as their bumper music during the MLB playoffs feels like a direct attack on #Drake and I’m here for it. They should play #notlikeus next.

With a strong, upright backbone I might add.

My kitty Iggy had similar markings. But she was HUGE and not even a little shy.

If I wanted to disrupt a protest, I'd start a rumor that the regime was going to send agitators to infilitrate the protest and act up.

Then I'd sit back and watch them all act like cops and turn on each other.

We go through this every 3 years and it works every time.

The billionaires know what’s coming. They want to hoard all the resources so the poor either die or get too worn out and scared to be a threat for resources. Because humans who actually know how to do labor are a big threat to billionaires who made their wealth through exploitation.

Holy wow, +3.5 ppm CO₂ last year, up from +2.4 ppm average the past decade, and +0.6 ppm in the 1960s.

It gets scarier the closer you look at it. All this is a stress test for the planet, and it's buckling.

Two big reasons for the massive increase: wildfires, and the ocean sinks are shutting down.

Globally averaged CO2 concentration (a) and its growth rate (b) from 1984 to 2024. Increases in successive annual means are shown as the shaded columns in (b). The red line in (a) is the monthly mean with the seasonal variation removed; the blue dots and blue line in (a) depict the monthly averages. Observations from 179 stations were used for this analysis.

Yeah but the people who don’t usually vote who are way more likely to get on our side anyway, will be more moved to do so.

Reminds me of the abortion survivor minivan thay drives around Oly. It has a smashed out window and the rear brake lights and blinkers are somehow wired into a contraption that rises well above the rear of the vehicle.
