@jeridansky Will we see a world wide climate call to action and the herd moves? Will the Capitalists volunteer to take the hit?? Snzzzzzz. Make no mistake, I’m a hard core human pessimist about our chances. Maybe after a couple of climate shovels upside the head, we might stagger in the right direction if the wild fires and flooding don’t catch us first.

Reading this article — full of such good quotes from many different climate scientists that picking just one was hard — and having a hard time not being a doomer:
“Climate science’s projections are pretty robust over the last decades. Unfortunately, humanity’s stubbornness to spew out ever-higher amounts of greenhouse gases has also been pretty robust,” said Prof Malte Meinshausen.

College sports is beyond screwed up.
ACC adding Stanford, Cal, SMU feels like a new low in college sports https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/columnist/dan-wolken/2023/09/01/acc-expansion-stanford-cal-smu-ponzi-scheme-college-sports/70739725007/
@wendysiegelman He is a side show compared to the Top Russian mole that used to head the Fed Govt in plain sight. But Rudy The Attack Dog still deserves his just reward. In his better barking days:
TRUFF, TRUFF, RUF, TRUFFFFF! !

Since Texas state officials haven't figured out how to control all women's bodies yet, they'll violate the constitutional right to travel (Article IV, Section 2).
If you're a Louisiana resident, you have the right to travel to New Mexico for abortion care. Texas counties can't decide you can't use their roads.
Some Texas women – conservative Republicans – who hold local public office don't want travel restricted in their towns. Extremists want these laws badly.

@knittingknots2@mstdn.social They are trying to set a self advantageous standard, one of flexing power over others. This is the GOO version of Fool’d Ya small, live and let live Govt. 🥸
@DavidCorn How the man has gone from crime buster to criminal. He got an infection.

There's a new Rudy Giuliani scandal. An FBI whistleblower says Giuliani, when he was digging for dirt on Biden for Trump, was co-opted by Russian intelligence. He claims his investigation of Giuliani's activities was blocked by higher-ups. Check out this piece by Dan Friedman and me.

@nedhamson …and mushrooms can fool ya, just like the GOP with their minions. 🤔I had a great Uncle who lived in the backwoods of WVa, a seasoned hand at wild mushroom collecting who nearly died after being poisoned by what he collected. It is possible he got a little too complacent.

@SirTapTap@mastodon.social why not just shoot them yourself, save $ and claim it was an accident? 😳 https://www.pennlive.com/crime/2023/08/woman-claiming-to-teach-gun-safety-shoots-kills-4-year-old-girl.html Or you were cleaning your gun while it was loaded and it accidentally discharged? 😬https://news.yahoo.com/mother-shoots-her-4-old-191304089.html You can’t make this shit up.

Ruh-roh: there's an elephant in the living room for Republicans vis-a-vis TimScott:
"In their desperate quest to find a 2024 alternative to former President Donald Trump, GOP donors have stumbled upon an elephant in the room: Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina is single.
That fact, long known among casual political observers, has suddenly sparked “curiosity” and a round of pearl-clutching among the GOP's well-heeled donors…."
@marc_w There was some talk of viable mastadon DNA to bring them back to life. Has that gone anywhere? 🤔

Happy Friday, folks. Been a bit of a rocky road here at House Appel the last few weeks, but looks like we get at least a few days of easy going. Let's try to be as excellent to one another as we can, eh?
