Tim Scott's position on climate change seems to be - I'd rather govern to be the last stable country five decades from now than govern to be one among many stable countries five decades from now.

When asked to account for having agreed with the angry mob that Mike Pence should be hung, what's the odds that Trump will say he only meant that Karen Pence deserved a well-endowed partner?

I hope this kind of thing catches on, especially among the young folk who will have a larger portion of their potential lives impacted by climate change than those currently in power.

This article beautifully captures why I believe faith is an indulgence we can no longer afford as a species.

Beliefs inform our actions or lack thereof.
Those actions have consequences that impact on the planet.

@poemblaze and then he runs from NK in 2028 with Dennis Rodman as VP on the ticket!

Sold, good sir!

I'm giggly and high and cooking. I love this life.

Which would be more damaging for the US: that a former president would be in prison after attempting to thwart democracy, or that he'd escape any consequences having attempted to thwart democracy?

How crazy is it that there's a non-zero chance that Trump will flee the country to a state without an extradition treaty?

@Shelter now *that's* some good seed funding.

As a reminder, 1.5 degrees of warming is the tipping point beyond which the effects of flood, drought, and wildfires will cause food shortages, migration and resource wars like we've not seen in our lives.

So I figure that if I don't invest in this stuff, my money will be worthless anyway due to societal collapse.

Here's why I invest in decarbonization.
Yikes.

Trump is running to avoid prison.
Maybe it's just me, but it looks like prison's closing in on Donny's lead.

How wonderfully fitting it'd be if we replaced his portrait in the Whitehouse with one of the sketches from his many appearances before a court of law?

I urge each of you who remains rooted in faith over empiricism to consider the evidence and make a determination of what suits the interests not only of themselves but of the generations to come after us and the cultural undulations we'll each leave for them through our choices and actions today however small.

I go further than opposing the encroachment of faith on the freedom of non-believers in the cause of non-believers alone. Whether someone is drowning in ignorance or being drowned by the ignorance of others, I should act to save all those drowning unless that was their true will and that their drowning comes without harm to others.

I miss Hitch.

Another spam texter. Let's see where this goes.

In the coming weeks and months we'll get to see whether it makes a difference if you're carrying Diet Coke for fascists instead of water.

Walt must be bricking it right now.

@gshevlin not that they admit that they're empty.
