This is funny, but in actuality, sane people don’t physically attack the MAGA crowd; in fact, we don’t even make snide comments.
We keep our thoughts to ourselves. We may feel sorry for these people’s moral depravity and/or stupidity. We may be angry that the country that was once the envy of the world is now viewed with ridicule and disdain in its path to become irrelevant in global affairs.
But messing with hateful morons in red hats isn’t helping anyone.
Here’s the latest on Trump’s efforts to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, while waging an aggressive war in Iran, executing people he suspects of carrying drugs off the coast of Venezuela, pledging to take over Cuba, and annexing Greenland from a (former) ally.
At left are a few good reasons not to shop from Amazon.
I use eBay, so as not to make this world an even worse place than it is now.
I’ve enjoyed quite a few works from the poet whose work appears at left, but this one speaks to me most clearly.
Money means everything, and the value we put on the lives of our children pale in comparison.
Schopenhauer’s pessimism is essentially everything he left us, and his quote here is representative of that.
We can’t change our birthplace, but does anyone want to do that anyway? We can change anything else about us that we choose, and we certainly don’t spend the rest of our lives defending anything.
The meme here covers yet another horrible feature of life in today’s America, i.e., all of a sudden we hate our jobs.
I’ll admit that I was lucky enough to find work that was lucrative and rewarding (most of the time), but I don’t recall my employees hating coming into the office every morning. I had clients that were mainly mid-level corporate executives in Fortune 100 firms, and they didn’t strike me as unhappy either.
I’m wondering if this isn’t the product of social media, where most of what gets shared is misery.
I just met a guy who was headed for the beach to take a swim in the ocean, which I found impressive, given that the water in Santa Barbara is 59 degrees F.
“My ocean-swimming days are over,” I told him.
“Oh, it gets worse,” he replied. “Because of climate change, the waters south of here are too hot for the sharks, so they’re moving north.”
Holy crap.
Occasionally we see signs of integrity from politicians.
What a breath of fresh air.
Yes, but this would have hurt the billionaires, and that can never happen in our society.
Here’s Lucy Biggers, social media powerhouse, explaining how solar and wind energy actually aren’t free, because they require materials that need to be mined from the Earth.
Yes, Lucy. I think most of us already knew that.
It’s hard for me to understand how a person with zero training in science has any relevance to what climate scientists are telling us. If I want a good recipe for carrot soup, I don’t ask a baseball coach or an auto mechanic.
They call this woman an “influencer.” What type of idiot does she influence?
