When a cell doubles and redoubles, sequestering nutrients and resources, unchecked and uncontrolled, to the detriment of the surrounding tissue and eventually the entire body, we call it 'cancer'.

When a person sequesters wealth and resources, land and corporations, drunk on power, unchecked and uncontrolled, to the detriment of others and eventually to society, we call them 'billionaires'.

Greed is a disease.

Biden is up against a twice impeached adjudicated sex offender under indictment for espionage and a Florida man who has good things to say about slavery

…and it’s close.

What’s that tell you about america?

If the Tories and Republicans get re-elected at their next respective election, then humanity is doomed.

It’s game over, because this decade is absolutely critical to averting complete #ClimateMeltdown. If these countries won’t play ball, many others won’t either.

Assuming most folks here completely understand this…so how do we get the rest of the US and UK to comprehend what is at stake and the power they absolutely must use at the ballot box?

Storm clouds heavy with rain over Montreal buildings. Within minutes heavy rain obscured this view. The storm included a tornado, caused flooding & power outages #Montreal #storm #flooding #summer #clouds #thunderstorm

Here we go again, #Ottawa , Tornado warning.

When it imploded, the Titan was at way higher pressures than Venus's 92 ATM so I'd totally trust this longtermist dipshit to keep me safe in a 900 degree F sulfuric acid sea thirty million miles from earth.

Definition of a coffee shop employee: someone who consistently provides more value to society than anyone in the 1%.

This is why I ended up with a Hyundai Ioniq rather than a Tesla. Tesla had a head-start of years in the EV space, but has largely squandered it with a stagnant product line and crap like this. The rest of the industry has now caught up. Teslas used to be the only cool EVs around, but now just about every carmaker has an EV that is competitive or better in every way. Tesla is just not keeping up and hostile crap like this is poison to a brand.

"I'm apolitical" or "I don't get involved politics" just means you have the privilege of being favoured by state policies regardless of which party wins the election and you are blind to this privilege.

Never trust apoliticals. They will never have your back when your very existence is politicised and attacked.

@BruceMirken @JamesHMcLaren I guess. But that you and me know that seems a weakness in his acumen.

You’re right though: he has done what he has done and escaped prison so far.
