It is easier to imagine the end of the world, than the market not remaining irrational. It is easier to imagine society collapsing, than the bubble bursting.

I know I shouldn't eat processed foods but ... today I ate food made in a food processor 🤔

Trump’s war on Iran is expected to help push global coal use to record highs this year, as disruptions to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz cut off oil and gas supplies: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/c...

apartment therapy. I've heard of that. Is that when you go to your therapist to complain about your landlord?

Taxing EVs is as smart as taxing non-smokers to replace revenue lost on cigarettes.

Who'll stop the reign? (and I wonder, still I wonder ...)

The U.S. is NOT a net oil exporter The U.S. COULD BE if the U.S. didn't use more oil than every other country, including China which manufactures everything We need to see how much of a problem the u.s. is for the planet. And we need to GET OFF FOSSIL FUELS now bsky.app/profile/atru...

People who lived through it get flashbacks from words like white phosphorous and yellow cake and the children with birth defects in their wake

This needs to happen at the very least

Your media diet is analogous to your food diet. If you consume vast quantities of pure junk, you will be extremely unwell.

tired: New Year, new you! wired: New Year, new coup!

The Holocene is the reason for the season.

No War for Oil if that's where things are heading, and it is isn't it?

So I was sitting in this pot of boiling water, as one does. And it was gradually getting warmer and warmer, as tends to happen. Just another day, nothing much was going on. And then something deep inside me snapped. An inner scream, a giant NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! coming from deep within.

New Romeo and Juliet 💕: He comes from a long line of liberals, her family is MAGA. It's quite tragic. They both die in the end 😢 The moral is we need to live with and love each other. No, SCREW THAT. The moral is MAGA must be CRUSHED and we need a national divorce.

Important reminder that “some” red tape is designed to protect entrenched interests with political power, and some red tape is designed to protect citizens against those entrenched interests. “Abundance” conflates the two, but guess which ones will get overturned If we allow that conflation?

Many things led here They were "the beginning of the end" But this is the end of the end And from here the beginning of the end seems such nostalgia, such beautiful days Afterall the beginning of the end is a better time than the end of the end

someone probably asked it about blueberries.

Same National Guard that was in MacArthur L.A. I guess. Like with TX and floods, are we going to ask how this happens when fires kill people again? I do realize only to well fast moving climate disasters can't always be planned for or prevented. But this is real bad. www.yahoo.com/news/califor...

Radical rest and rest is radical No resting isn't going to change the world (ha absurd) But rest is a reason why we need to change the world

Ok who is ready for it: "Free Alex Padilla" to the tune of "Free Nelson Mandela"?

I'm not a pessimist but all glasses inevitably progress toward empty (taking a sip)

Death Cult for Cutie (but I have no idea who cutie is ...)

Burnout feels like boredom. I am so bored (burned out) with this stupid regime. But maybe this society just leaves everyone so burned out that it explains a lot of pervasive boredom.

I truly believe we could fix so many problems if the world wasn’t making us all so dang tired

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Some say all this chaos is to benefit Putin. Sure that merely SOUNDS plausible. But I know who it is REALLY to benefit, those selling sleazy gold commercials on right wing media. Stocks chaos, bonds chaos. Darn I should have listened to Grifty McGrift ads between barking lunatics

We no longer live under Constitutional law. We now live under Murphy's law. That's the new legal basis of the country.

Called my senators and representative today about the adminstration's recent executive order to allow increased logging on public lands and in national forests.

Sunday scaries, but instead of for another week of work, for another week of Trump.

The U.S. has graduated from managed democracy to mismanaged autocracy.

Trump take water. Could be bad. Does this mean California and the west runs out of water sooner than otherwise, given whatever weather and climate conditions we face in the coming years, and the failed attempts to resolve water issues? laist.com/news/climate...

We're all waiting for the other shoe to drop. No make that other shoeS plural. We're all waiting for shoes to start raining down in years of shoestorms pretty much.

Feel like I took a beating all over. Who did this to you? Jim. I mean Gym, the.

L.A. a generation of kids is going to grow up lead poisoned, not to mention possible cancer risks. Make no mistake, no matter how state media like l.a. times softens it, this is federal workers, this is TRUMP admin policy, this is flowing from the top. www.yahoo.com/news/feds-wo...

tariff policy these days

I need some routine in my life!!! mostly I'm thinking taco Tuesday

Mark Zuckerberg: The Social Network Elon Musk: The Social Engineering* * in the information security sense.

Him determining if there is a conflict of interest is ITSELF a conflict of interest. THAT'S THE JOKE PEOPLE! Oh wait Bloomberg is something like The Onion and this is a joke right? bsky.app/profile/bloo...
