Wow, people don't like being treated like slaves, who knew?

Fucking breeders.

I miss civil liberties, including freedom of speech and freedom from illegal search and seizure at every turn. I miss a pre surveillance state society. I miss clean air, clean water, and a non-burning planet.

I don't miss cannabis prohibition and mass incarcerations because of using or growing a plant. I plan to make my remaining years the best they can be.

Short answer: no.

Longer answer: as long as the USA supports them and vetoes any move to hold them accountable for their genocidal actions, no.

Feedback loops be like that sometimes.

When has it ever been anything else?

ACAB... the cops started as runaway slave hunters, and evolved into tools to keep the poor and working class permanently under the heel of the ruling class. There are no good cops as long as they swear to uphold unjust and discriminatory laws, and kidnap or kill people for victimless crimes, or just on a whim. With near zero consequences or any accountability.

Extremely grateful to live in a post-prohibitionist country. Grew nearly three pounds of buds on my four legal plants last year, and they have kept me in less pain and in higher spirits. I have been sharing some in capsule form with cancer patients that have been able to sleep painlessly for the first time in months. Feels good man.

Now, if the idiots that think the pandemic is a hoax, and that they are too special to wear masks and follow the rules would just fuck off and let this covid shit die, things would be fine.

But the endpoint of runaway global warming, factoring in all the feedback loops that have engaged now, is an autoclaved planet. Not much moving on from that. Maybe the elite will fly off somewhere else, or dig in to bunkers and wait for the burning to end, but most of us won't have that option.

Not someone close, but I always took this ating to heart when evaluating a friendship:

"Friends help you move. GOOD friends help you move the body."

Earth works in cycles, you see it everywhere , There is a carbon cycle, hydrology cycle, predator/prey cycle. It looks like we are moving from the regular carbon cycle to a super carbon cycle. Runaway global warming has a natural end-point, that is outside of the normal live, die, renew, and moves into the release, saturate, sequester cycle of nearly all carbon being released into the environment by heat and fire, and then flushed into the oceans until the environment cools down again. We have seen evidence of this happening in the past. We won't enjoy the process, and unless someone figures out how to re-freeze the ice caps, we ain't stopping it.

As far as societal collapse? Some people are already living in collapse, more will join them until we are all experiencing it.

Is it April fools day already? The description of one of the processes sounds like it takes an enormous amount of fuel and energy (including shipping CO2 and Methane around the world) to produce these diamonds, and they claim they are cutting pollution? I would love to see a real energy/resource audit of this stuff.

How did Cheney pull off 9/11?

The growing awareness that the world needs grocery store clerks and nurses, and all other workers MUCH more than it needs CEOs and all the bosses. The entire billionaire class could have disappeared and no one would have known the difference.

on fucking Twitter...

I still call it Judith Miller's NY Times. Lying, murderous pieces of shit. The eternal wars were/are the biggest transfers of wealth from working people and the poor to the war profiteering oligarchs, ever.

Styrofoam dissolved in gasoline makes a gel similar to napalm. Or so I have heard.

The oligarchy HATES people who talk like this. Once we realize that generations of manufactured division and learned hatred have to be unlearned for humanity to become anything other than rats scrabbling over the scraps that are left by the oligarchs, we MAY find a way to survive as a species. The white vs black, left vs right, gay vs straight, men vs women, big end vs little end, etc, etc conflicts are ALL distractions from people recognizing that the real enemy are the oligarchs. No war but class war can only become a reality if we can find and build on the common humanity we share. If we can ever bridge these gaps, find common ground and begin to work together, we will have the oligarchs shitting themselves.

Damn, April 1st already? Gotta get my beans ready.

Magazine subscriptions used to work.

nazis live on ruqqus

Sadly, I have found that nazis live everywhere. And they multiply.

Thanks, playing/hacking this might just get me back into trying some programming.

I hope you live in a non-prohibitionist jurisdiction and can enjoy the poetry with some tasty home-grown. If that is your scene.

Great resource, thanks for the research work and compiling effort!
