"German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, says that “carbon capture and storage” (CCS) can be done safely in the saltwater and limestone pores at 600 to 1,200 meters below the seabed. “It will either dissolve as carbonic acid or bind with the limestone,” she says. Injection sites in the North Sea are the German government’s main solution for so-called “unavoidable emissions,” like those from the cement and other industries"

Basically another subsidy harvesting scheme
There isn't even the expectation that the co2 will stay in porous limestone, but instead end up making the oceans more acidic, which is already a problem with elevated atmospheric co2 levels

A crisis of excess consumption & growth can't be solved, by growing in a slightly different way

Bill Maher is libertarian

Dennis Miller Not really right wing as old & whiney
Joe Rogan thinks he's funny

Israel is an extreme example of colonization, formed with the barrel of a gun under the guise of returning to homeland. Somehow being at the wrong end of a genocide entitles Israelis to commit their own? Why does the USA continues to support & fund an overt theocracy?

Not an "artist, songwriter or journalist" You're on your own
You're free to be pillaged for you data by ai
There is no ai without stolen data

The whole exercise of forming a religious state with approval & support of overtly secular countries is weird? No idea why we have ever supported what amounts to a 70 year genocide...

Project 2025 = Powell memorandum 2.0

Ah Dems finding new ways to lose
The last time the incumbent wasn't the nominee We got eight years of Dick

People will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid knowing the obvious, especially when money is involved
The rapists/perpetrators generally have stacks of cash/lawyers to avoid responsibility
Attempts at oversight are co opted by the rapists/perpetrators. The same grooming skills can be applied most situations

I'm still a lurker on twitter...
I stopped interacting when Elmo took over & released the trolls

The He-man Woman Hatrz Club
Sacr=teabagger?
The let scrotum & santorum jokes commence

This is just more of the Powell memorandum mode of operation, play the long game. Use that legacy money to cultivate the next generation into the good ol boys swamp

Religion at it's best is about community. The rituals, the stories, are content/entertainment, extended games of telephone. Selling a product that can't possibly be vetted, the "afterlife". People get to like what they like, religion is not for me

I don't believe anything, I know some things, I'll guess at others. I'm aware when I'm pulling it out my arse :D Every question doesn't have to have an answer.

Keep it simple.
There is only one meaningful moral tenet, don't be a dick. Don't do things to others you wouldn't want to have happen to you.
Now I can craft an engaging narrative justifying all manner of bad behavior but, I know better, we all do. Even those with reduced empathy know better.
Don't Be a Dick!

AirBNb, uber, lyft are all designed to circumvent existing laws by setting up parallel systems. The companies set themselves up to be the gatekeepers, instead of existing regulatory systems. The enshittification is predictable.
The hardest thing in governance is:
Comprehensively reform a system in place while using it...
