The 1973 sci-fi climatological apocalypse film "Soylent Green" opens with a researcher's discovery of a suppressed report (the Soylent Corp.'s Oceanographic Survey Report, 2015-2019) forecasting the death of the world's oceans.

As Ukraine retains its dignity despite all of Putin's slings & arrows, my old hometown's MAGAts lose the last shreds of theirs, daring the deity of Exodus to smite these heathens and banish the GOP's surviving remnant to 40 years of political exile, barred from office for their feckless complicity.

Is this an "86"ing?

Tuapse's ruin rivals Kavkaz's near Proletarsk, Rostov Obl, hit on 18.8.24 (8 tanks lit, spreading to 22 tanks on Day 3) & 23.8.24. The Rostreserv system military depot's 78 tanks held gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, & lubricants; the site burned for 16 days. www.kyivpost.com/post/37868 This pic? Day 8.

www.vox.com/policy-and-p... The crowning touch to the 2021 CPAC clusterfuck? Their Trump golden idol was "Hecho en México"! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

This from July deserves another look now. Found it after searching for this UA living legend's famous Feb. 26 2022 video address to the RuZZian troops, but it was hard to find, even googling his surname. The war is being erased, bit by bit. Next up, that taunting video... nitter.net/y_gudymenko

What's more dubious than the "Sputnik Light" Russian COVID-19 vaccine? Expired vaccines with altered expiration dates. Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the RF sovereign wealth fund & a key negotiator viz Trump, plotted for them to be sent to Africa, for public relations: www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWar...

A creative protest/performance art installation trolling Lone Skum's white-sup eugenics fixation: a "EUGEN-X" booth soliciting women to sign up to "join Musk's Legion of Mommies". www.reddit.com/r/washington...

While the Trump regime continues to demand that Ukraine appease RuZZia by giving Putin nearly everything he wants, the UA military continues to erode the RF's ability to sustain its war. The initial mushroom clouds were great, but the secondaries more... impactful. www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/co...

Friends don't let friends drive Teslas. Not just the Cybertrucks, but any model.

Paris with healthy air >> Paris when it sizzles (with car exhaust and global warming) For more on reclamating urban streets for pedestrians and cyclists, I rec. "NotJustBikes" on YouTube. The algo will feed you more.

Turnabout is fair play, so I'm looking forward to when the GOP fascists retreat under their rocks and everyone else stages a retaliatory pogrom: "Report a 'fash' and earn some cash!".

Sanctions-evasion schemes supply tens of millions' worth of ball bearings to RF from abroad: united24media.com/war-in-ukrai... I suspect some imports are sub-par when compared to the quality of the three foreign-owned factories' railroad cassette bearings made in RF prior to Feb. 2022.

It wouldn't surprise me if Trump and the GOP were to float or outright advocate minimizing penalties for domestic violence against women... which is what his pal Putin did, in Feb. 2017. (Recall also DJT's ripping Ivana's scalp.) www.theguardian.com/world/2017/f... hir.harvard.edu/putins-other...

I hope that the ethical and pissed-off Europeans who've cancelled their travel plans (even for conferences!) to the US, only to see the US$ plummet relative to the Euro, don't yield to tempation. The global Trump-spurred tourism boycott will cost the US $90++ billion. www.reddit.com/r/politics/c...

I just wish that O'Malley would "fight back" on bsky instead of Shitter.

From a mass email by the Union of Concerned Scientists [UCS], re. their lawsuit against the Trump admin. over their deleting many public-interest, taxpayer-paid-for USG web pages and databases of scientific data relating to climate change and various environmental & energy [in]justice concerns:

A logo (suitable for T-shirts, bumper stickers, & more!) idea: a "three-peach" campaign to get Cheeto Mussolini impeached for a third time, using a graphic like this. Notes: torn between "three-peach" and "three-peat"; the emojis aren't perfect; the blue check should be bolder & red+white+blue.

I suspect that was even more due to his shameless courting of US evangelical Prots, with their large wingnut cohort obsessed with sending perfect red calves to Jerusalem, etc. "Armageddon Days Are Here (Again)" by The The (Matt Johnson):

A great two-page essay on Trumponomics and how our twice electing a "radical fascist felon" is wrecking the US's reputation and economy both. MAGA morons don't understand the significance of the dollar's being the world's reserve currency and how much it'll cost us if/when it loses that status.

Totally legit quote, enshrined by the Library of Congress... for now.

How nerdy is your favorite band's fan base? Sorry for the WTF?-edness of this, but this happy discovery is forcing me to reevaluate Phish & its most die-hard fans. A sample cover [from 8/19/12; not sure which dot that is]: www.youtube.com/watch?v=66w-... Graph needs better [interactive?] labeling.

By this logic, it seems: 1) migrants seeking asylum from violent gangs are undeclared-war refugees, & 2) anyone who has in any way aided, abetted, or enriched said gangs is a traitor and/or terrorist in their "invasion". I'll add that as the UN host, the US has a heightened duty to war refugees.

The AEI's Steven Kamin had so much rebutting to do of Miran's macroeconomics, monetarist ideas, and policy prescriptions that he had to break it into two parts. Here's the second: www.aei.org/economics/ce... And I used to bemoan the neo-mercantilist Peter Navarro's stewed antics.

To return to the speech by Miran that the WH puffed, here's a rebuttal by an AEI sr. fellow of a '24 paper by Miran: www.aei.org/economics/co... Is there a feud between the Manhattan Inst. & the American Enterprise Inst.? And will this be inspiring an ultraviolent Scorsese film? One can only hope.

www.cnbc.com/video/2025/0... Literally the top queries. // What these laissez-faire fundies want, it would seem, is an unabashedly oligarchic post-democratic US in which the current ratio of public:private schools and govt.-run prisons:privately-owned prisons, to name but two, are reversed.
