If you ever played this, you should be hearing "stop talkin and start chalkin" in your head.

"concerning"...

Photo of Peter Thiel at bottom, text above which reads: Listen, when the people who started the fire start running from the smoke, wake up! Peter Thiel co-founded Palantir -- the company that built the surveillance infrastructure for the CIA, NSA, ICE. He bankrolled Trump twice. He just moved his entire family to Argentina, bought a mansion, enrolled his kids in school. Cited "concerns about America's future." Sir, YOU created this future.

Right.

Image of email from Melania to Ghislaine written in a very friendly fashion, and mentioning Jeffrey Epstein, signed "Love, Melania" and date before she met Trump.

This is not a happy graph.

Graph showing OPEC production at its lowest point since 2009, even lower than the Covid dip.

Minnesota Sisu!

A well-used, stained piece of material that says SISU and: courage, stubbornness, tenacity, spirit, resolve… in smaller background lettering.

WTAF? Is The Atlantic now being written, edited and published by Netanyahu's inner circle? If I worked there, I'd resign the moment I saw this headline. What a fucking embarrassment. Re: screenshot

Screen shot from Twitter/X posted by The Atlantic with text: "Benjamin Netanyahu's long career was built on conflict avoidance - then, October 7 transformed and radicalized him"

Here's an improved version for the text impaired.

Image of President Trump on left and Attorney General Bondi on the right, with labels "the pedophile" on the left and "the law" on the right.

This version reveals a bit more.

"Melania" movie director Brett Ratner is seen groping a teenaged girl sandwiched between him and Jeffrey Epstein.

„Governments never announce that they have become fascist. They announce that the anti fascists are now enemies of the state.”

Some possible references (the PDF is a lengthy white paper and the source of the graphic): homes.rewiringamerica.org/articles/dri... www.theguardian.com/business/202... theicct.org/sites/defaul... www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5JF... www.epa.gov/greenvehicle... www.npr.org/2024/05/09/1...

A bar chart graph comparing manufacturing, fuel, maintenance, fuel production, and battery manufacturing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions for ICE versus battery vehicles by region in world and by year of production. Battery electric vehicles always have significantly fewer GHG emissions for the total life cycle, including the mining and creation of materials for battery-powered cars.

Correlation does not imply causation, but sometimes... Portugal's GDP. Relatively closed to immigrants before 2015. Actively attracting immigrants post 2015. Hmm. Maybe immigration is good?

Like the epidemic of left-handedness:

Trickle Down Economics is still a lie. It's been tried over and over, and has always failed. It never stands up to scrutiny. www.cbpp.org/research/fed...

Graph showing amount of gain in income experienced by the 90 percent lowest earners, 95th percentile (above $176,000 per year), and executives (above $951,000 per year) as a results of 2017 corporate tax rate cut which was claimed would increase average family's income by $4,000 per year due to "trickle down" economic activity.
