Crisp nights are here again — and how does that even happen? One minute the nights are warmish, the river is lush and green, the next it's painted yellow. Beautiful and short-lived.

They bury their propaganda in fake stories and feel good articles about how they're making renewable energy for the next phase of the modern world. What horse crap. If they invested the money they use blowing Sunshine up our butts into actually researching renewable energy we'd all have flying cars

Center for Climate Integrity @climateintegrity.org · 9h

"The first-of-its-kind study shows that the world’s biggest oil and gas companies contribute less than 1.5% to global renewable energy — contradicting industry claims to be pioneers in the energy transition."

Study: Oil companies are not ‘part of the solution’

New research in the journal Nature reveals oil and gas companies own a “marginal” share of global renewable capacity, years after claiming they would lead the energy transition.

Young Republicans joke about rape and gas chambers, use slurs, and talk about how much they love Hitler.

This isn't an exaggeration. These are the current and future leaders of the Republican Party, all who have 10x the funding of Dem youth orgs.

I live in an area where people hunt deer & moose for their freezers. Also ranchers trying to protect their livestock-all legit reasons to have a gun. This person is involved in theatre. She's not doing responsible gun owners any favours.
