We need answers for why 2023 turned out to be the warmest year in possibly the past 100,000 years. And we need them quickly.

This is fine.

I am starting to wonder if those tipping points everyone was talking about 10 years ago are starting to get hit.

All of them - ocean temp, ocean salinity, ocean's ability to absorb CO2, air temp... and # of species disappearing, especially insect.

2009

The last 15 years have been defined by accelerationists who painted the whole thing red to match their team color

And yet people are: "this_is_fine.jpg"

Awhile back I saw, or created a memory of a short, high energy video of … a cartoon character(?) singing “We’re fucked! We’re fucked! We’re super fucking fucked!” In a high pitched voice over a bombastic orchestra. There was more to the song, but that’s all I clearly remember. (Or all that I’ve crafted in the form of my false memory of it.)

I tried to search it out, but, you know, search engines. They just want me to go to YouTube or song lyrics sites that aren’t what I’m looking for because bad algorithms drive engagement.

Anyway, that’s basically my soundtrack whenever I read climate or political news these days. (And the way capitalism has destroyed the internet, now that I think about it!)
