  • "The sword of God, the blood of the lamb, vengeance is mine, millions of dead motherfuckers, all because they gave the wrong answer to the God question. ‘You believe in God?’

    ‘No.’

    BANG Dead.

    ‘You believe in God?’

    ‘Yes.’

    ‘You believe in my God?’

    ‘No.’

    BANG Dead.

    ‘My God has a bigger dick than your God!’"

    -George Carlin


  • The living Earth will be fine, and has recovered from worse than us, even other runaway mutations from within that wreaked havoc, see the carboniferous period and the trees that couldn’t yet effectively decompose and release their carbon, doing the opposite of us, creating an ice age.

    The Earth recovers, It just won’t recover on a timescale we can perceive.

    There’s life that’s evolved to survive in acid pools, at depths we can’t touch, in crevices we can’t reach. We arrogantly fashion ourselves Gods of this world, but we couldn’t sterilize it if we wanted to.

    We will be gone, sooner rather than later because of our actions, but the 3.8 billion year old living Earth will be fine with a negligible few million years of cleanup, and to paraphrase George Carlin, it will be like we never even existed at all, thank goodness for that.






  • You know what will happen if Harris wins decisively?

    The SCOTUS will say Trump won anyway, just like in 2000 when they were far less emboldened. And what they say will go again.

    And the feckless people will allow it yet again instead of justly rioting for having their voice silenced in the name of the profiteers our Federalist Society SCOTUS works for.

    I’m voting for Harris to say I raged against the dying of the light, but this country is over, because our people are beaten dogs more concerned with preserving the continuity of their fast food and social media capitalist opiates than being a society.



  • Capitalists, duh.

    Climate scientists aren’t qualified because they don’t prioritize maximizing short term private profit, any expert that matters will tell you that is the only consideration that ever ought to be considered about any topic. That’s what makes them an experts to begin with, obviously.

    This is a problem that needs to be addressed by respected business leaders that understand we can’t disrupt economic growth and quarterly earnings expectations for something as abstract as humanity’s medium to long term survival.

    Civilization may collapse in 20 years from catastrophic ecological collapse, but there’s like 80 quarterly earnings calls between now and then, and if it does collapse, the only people that matter won’t be rich anymore when the glorious dollar is no longer valued, so nothing will matter anymore anyway, problem solved.


  • More confirmation the world is right to see us as backwards. (US study)

    So many sexual hangups. Makes sense considering we were founded by Puritans escaping to the new world to be more backwards and repressed.

    Sex is a part of life. A massive part of the human condition. A part to be celebrated, not mourned or minimized. That’s how we get pedophile priests and sexual education summed up in “do not do it because it does not exist and you’re dirty for asking.” It’s not Gen Zs fault though, social media is designed to emphasize the darkest possible side of everything as it gets clicks, so sex as a concept is just a vector of potential trauma to them.

    If only we had the same hangups about our violence boners our media gluts us on with abandon. Sports concussions, gory explosion movies, and our most celebrated exports tools of mass murder 😎👍. People giving one another physical pleasure 😱👎.



  • Oh come on now.

    Almost all people declaring or otherwise promoting their supposed genius are completely full of shit, Elon comes to top of mind, but there in fact are some savants for which quickly understanding and mastering highly technical domains just comes naturally.

    These people are almost always far more interested in exercising their gift/curse and solving problems than in self promotion or feeding a greed disease. People like Elon unfortunately receive most of the fruits and accolades of the efforts of people like this. It makes me sick how selfish, self-important capitalist baffoon types literally rule the world by paying people that do solve mankind’s great problems a salary, then perverting their work to maximize profit and walking out on stage with it in a fucking turtleneck all but declaring “I made dis thing. Don’t ask me how it fucking works, but I made dis. Pay me. I’m God.”

    It’s sad that humans largely tend to swoon over, and would much rather be led by charismatic narcissistic bullshit artists, usually dopes who never think before they open their gaping mouth holes, who have no problem declaring they know everything about everything than almost exclusively non-charismatic, high functioning geniuses that are almost always too neurotic to want to lead, which makes them even more desirable candidates to be drafted into it.







  • It’s a shame that the next generation of capitalist nepos are raised aware that their family hoard is fed by burning the world, and that same hoard insulates them from climate change induced mass famine\drought\etc.

    The people that make the important decisions and own both of our parties don’t lose sleep over their avarice, and impress that dynastically.

    We need to reign in our owner class, or no amount of begging will help. They know what they’re doing, and know they can protect and insulate themselves and theirs by convincing you to consume more than you need with propaganda and regulatory capture.
