The meme here reminds me of an interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson in which he was asked, “Given that we understand less than 10% of what the universe is composed of, with all this dark energy and dark matter, couldn’t that be God?”
He replied, “If that’s how you want to play it, fine. Just understand that you’re standing on an island that’s getting smaller every year.”
I love this lawn sign.
You can re-elect someone you already know to be a criminal sociopath, or can choose someone else.
Here’s a gentleman representing “Prepared Patriots” who claims: “America is on the cusp of the greatest food shortage in American (sic) history, but the mainstream media refuses to report on this. Did you know that close to two thirds of the world’s food reserve is being hoarded inside China? Corn, rice, wheat, all of it.”
The meme here is completely incorrect.
Hydrogen fuel-cell cars have been around for decades. They take a few minutes to refill, and their range is nowhere near 1500 km.
I’ve never understood the business model surrounding publishing total lies–especially if your aren’t selling some sort of fraudulent product. Who benefits?
Here’s a piece from a guest blogger, though I have not validated it as mostly correct. That anything good whatsoever is happening in Hungary is news to me. – Craig
As the world grapples with the urgent need to address climate change, green finance has emerged as a critical tool for driving sustainable development. Globally, green finance is gaining momentum, and Hungary is no exception. Once considered a nascent market, Hungary’s green finance sector is now showing signs of rapid growth and development. Recent initiatives by the Hungarian government, along with increased participation from the private sector, indicate that things are moving forward in Hungary’s journey toward a more sustainable future.

I’m sure most of the U.S. was energized by what Teddy Roosevelt said here 120 years ago, but it seems that this “ship has sailed.” Current-day American capitalists are completely uninterested in the quality of the average person’s life.
Yet is it possible the 2024 presidential election will represent a turning point in this regard? Indeed it is.
The meme here reminds us that Trump’s choice of Vance as his running mate was absolutely bizarre. Did the Republican ticket really need more hate and stupidity?
The Trump phenomenon can be explained as the “perfect storm” in which an ignorant and angry U.S. electorate came across a demagogue whose lies they found irresistible. Also supported by billionaires, Trump was swept into power, where, over a period of four years, he told his adoring fan base more than 30,000 documented false statements.
The Trump supporters who bought the Big Lie “reasoned” that Biden couldn’t have gotten anywhere near 81 million votes, because he didn’t have rallies. The truth, of course, is that the typical Democrat has an extremely limited appetite for going into an arena and screaming praises for our prospective leaders and political beliefs.
Having said all this, it’s certainly not a bad thing that Harris and Walz are attracting large crowds.
There are several reasons that climate change is proving to be such a difficult challenge for our civilization to overcome.
One of them is nationalism/tribalism. There are 200+ sovereign nations on this small blue planet, whose citizens feel very little affinity for those in other countries. This means limited cooperation among nations that desperately need to come together to develop and share relevant technology.
Another is the influence of Big Oil with its rapacious greed and corruptive influence over our lawmaking processes. All this is made worse by the fact that they have allies among some of the most ignorant people on Earth. We Americans live with tens of millions of hateful morons, like the truck owner here.
