I understand why most countries hate Americans
I also understand why most Americans hate Americans

So I’m clear

3 countries, all whose government’s are propped up by religious fervor & impotent rage, are converging on each other with Putin stirring

But the End Times are coming because I’m sharing a bathroom with someone whose mom accidentally named her Steve at birth.

Have I got that right?

The WSJ calls it “the most severe energy crisis since the 1970s.” ⛽️

Is anyone else experiencing debilitating amounts of dread?

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Salute to the headbanger kid in my 8th grade art class who one day quietly said that the best guitarist in the world wasn’t Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads, or Jimmy Page. It was, in fact, he insisted, George Benson.

We didn’t know what to do with this information but he was resolute.

We gotta figure out a way to make it law to call for new elections when shit really sucks around here....but can't even get Americans to care about regular elections so I'm sure it'd be a nightmare. Still, waiting until January gets riskier by the day.

I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...

...maybe there wasn't much planning?

Better dust off that conscientious objector paraphernalia....

The only way Trump can crash America and plunder the wreckage is to violate the Constitution.
If he went to Congress for permission to wage war, to impose taxes, to revise the budget, to change voting procedures, as required by the Constitution, it would take forever to do what he's already done.

30!! I don't even know one!!

I watched a reel explaining how fascism is slow and boring and systematic and how none of the popular fictional media actually shows you how to recognize it (or if you do how to fight it) and you know what people are doing in the comments??? DEFENDING THEIR FAVORITE MEDIA

Well, the attack on Iran will end up killing thousands and raise gas prices while strengthening Russia, but at least it won't distract from the fact that the President of the United States raped children. Jesus Christ, we are in hell.

Vaccines save lives.
Vaccines protect you from infection, and/or protect you from getting the worst complications of the disease.
In addition, by being vaccinated, you are protecting all of those around you, including the young, the old and the immunocompromised.

Trump is threatening to not sign any bills into law until the SAVE Act is approved by the Senate..

With the current make up of Congress and the crappy bills they pass, that's not really the threat he thinks it is.

I do need the American people to stop viewing Trumpism as blunderous policy failure.

It is a full court press to subjugate you into poverty and despair. There is no witticism or gotchya or logical superiority that can combat that.

There's a code of conduct that says remove your cap when the national anthem is played in a stadium so one sure as hell removes it when honoring fallen soldiers.

It sucks living in a country whose entire culture is war and police

The GOP are all in for Trump. Make no mistake about it. They’ll burn the country down to please him.

Millions more people are in the path of rising seas than previously thought Oceans are rising as the climate changes, threatening coastal cities. A new study shows that much more of the world's population is vulnerable than earlier predictions had estimated.

Cop: Arizona has the freeist gun laws in the nation.
Same cop next sentence: for some reason in Arizona these days everyone thinks it’s ok to solve their problems with a gun.
Dude. Seriously.

Meet The Female Journalist Risking Her Life To Report On Women In Afghanistan

I understand why Putin wants to destroy America, and I can guess why Trump is helping him do it. But I'll never figure out why Congress is letting him get away with it.

Some great news.

We lost one whole hour of this nightmare of a presidency this weekend.

So there is that.

I want ICE agents to be afraid. I want them to run and hide from the justice that will come when this regime ends. And I will personally advocate for their life sentences.

The Trump era has given rise to this whole new emotion of being simultaneously angry over how evil something is and how stupid it is, which I'm sure the Germans have a word for but I don't.

Yup.

This is what the elite wanted.

So much for “they’re all wanting to come to the US”.
