I believe that the reason there are millions of planets is the same reason there are millions of eggs. To allow for failure. There must be countless experimental stations like this one. The only thing that is not expendable is the experiment itself. Our notions of our own uniqueness are precisely that. Our notions. We will not be missed. When we have slaughtered and poisoned everything in sight and finally incinerated the earth itself then that black and lifeless lump of slag will simply revolve in the void forever. There is a place for it too. A nameless cinder of no consequence even to god. That man can halt this disaster now seems so remote a possibility as to hardly bear consideration.

The first paragraph

Six of nine critical "planetary boundaries," from climate change to damage to freshwater systems, have been transgressed, according to a new study. The result is that Earth as a system is functioning "well outside of the safe operating space for humanity."

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

180mph sustained winds forecast, cat 5 already

I fucking hate this. Its all for literally nothing. For fucking money. Money. Imaginary pieces of paper. Even worse, imaginary numbers on a fucking screen. Data. It's all for fucking nothing. We won't avoid the 1.5 C mark, and it might come in 5 years. 2 C would mean basically the end of any semblance of normal, at all, and the collapse of the global south. Forget even 3 degrees, I'd probably already be dead. They won. They fucking won. No revolution in the Imperial Core is possible. Everyone is a chud, or a lib, or a left anticommunist. We can't fucking win. It's over. The world is over.

Cat 3 by Friday afternoon, no landfall, another what, 4 or 5 days over extremely warm waters after that before it makes landfall?

Here’s hoping for shear

It's been a slow trickle ever since COVID started. Just progressively losing any hope of having a good life long term. Hormones got banned in my state and I feel really dysphoric. The people in my life don't care about me. I could die right now and I don't think anybody would even realize for a few weeks. Idk man, what's even the point anymore?

Not a single emperor penguin chick survived spring in parts of Antarctica

As the world goes through what some scientists believe to be its hottest year on record, emperor penguin populations in the Antarctic are suffering catastrophic losses, with no chicks surviving the spring of 2022 in four of five colonies observed for a new study.

I'm working with doctors in admin and the Healthcare collapse? It's bad folks.

Doctors on call for ED while doing clinical at the same time.

Entire departments refusing patients in clinics up to 75 miles away. 3 weeks to make an appointment. Not to be seen, to make an appointment.

Shortages in all departments.

The only silver lining is that the there is a lot of solidarity among the people here.

you hate to see it folks!

all the youngsters are reviewing their active shooter response protocols

the hint of char in the air almost smells like pumpkin spice

2024 election cycle noise machine is coming for us all

wall of flame approaching my home last night

It all burned down. Neighbors are sending pictures of destroyed homes and schools. I only have my phone, laptop, and toothbrush. I don't know what to do. Doubt the fire will be better next year, but no clue where to head to. I'm going to get high

Update: we have family a few towns over that are letting us stay, so we're fortunate there

got a few documents and heirlooms in the van and am waiting to see flames cresting the ridge and then I'm loading up the dogs and cats and getting the fuck outta here

pieces of charcoal have been falling from the sky since 3 pm

it comes for some of us before others

as you are now so once was i

as i am now so you shall be

enter the anthropocene and follow me

update: i loaded up the dogs and cats and got the fuck outta there, we'll see in the morning if the farm's still there

update2: farm's still there, fingers crossed pray 4 me

A: They're the only zoomer/millennial wearing a face mask.

Will get to the point where I've blocked myself into the void underside of Hexbear, behind the curtain of the universe and can finally just chill.

No one will ever pwn me again. No one will ever ppb me again.

whole dang script is doomer-quotable
