“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. The opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference.” — Elie Wiesel

People making $15 an hour worshipping a trillionaire are the dumbest people on Earth.

History will remember the millions of people who died around the world from preventable deaths because of Musk's DOGE cuts. History will remember Musk's enabling, amplifying, and funding of 21st-century fascism across the West.

We look at our neighboring worlds and we see a grim warning. Venus is a runaway greenhouse hellscape, its surface hot enough to melt lead. Mars is a frozen, bone-dry desert. Earth is the anomaly,a perfectly balanced, delicate jewel where the conditions for life are miraculously just right. Yet, we continue to treat our atmosphere as if it were an infinite dumping ground. A fragile canopy. A destabilized climate. A global crisis.

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr dredging up the same nonsense Such a tiresome waste of time

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world. Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow. When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.

We Are Living in the Dumbest Timeline Donald Trump just posted a photo of a wind turbine next to birds and captioned it “Killing birds by the millions!” He posted this without irony. For every single bird killed by a wind turbine, nuclear and fossil fuel plants kill 2,118 birds. Coal alone kills roughly 7.9 million birds a year in the United States. Wind turbines? Between 140,000 and 328,000. That is not a defence of wind turbines. We are living in genuinely, historically stupid times. Only rivalled, frankly, by the medieval peasants who blamed the Black Death on cats and promptly killed all the cats, which meant the rats multiplied, which meant more plague. At least the peasants had the excuse of having no access to information whatsoever. Trump has the internet. He chose this.
