Turns out that the movie Don’t Look Up may have been intended to satirize our response to climate change, but the portrayal of the media response is evergreen.

I don’t think that those people waiting in line to go swimming wanted to be grabbed.

Where did I imply it’s bad?

Shouldn’t official government websites be only concerned about the people actually employed at them and decision makers?

based on their collective actions for centuries, don’t deserve it.

Found the war criminal.

The War Prayer, a prose poem by Mark Twain.

IKR? The need for maintenance eventually should be foreseen! If they went to all the trouble to put a pipe through bedrock, why not put 2 pipes, so there’s a backup?

That’s not quite it. The wastewater treatment plant is located high up on the cliffs above the ocean. It has a big pipe that they tunneled through bedrock so it discharges at the bottom of the ocean 2.3km from shore. The fatberg is in the junction between the plant and the pipe. To clean it out, they’d have to stop using the big drain pipe, and y’know, just dump sewage off the edge of the cliff into the ocean, pretty much right onto the beach.

And you shit on her memory by using her legacy and image for hasbara in a way that she clearly would have disliked. You should be ashamed.

Take a look at the works of David Sedaris. Those fit the description, and are funny.

Okay, dumb question: Where’s the video frame that shows the contact with the vehicle? The photo with the caption “ICE Agent 1 and the vehicle appear to make contact” just shows a close up of a giant turd. Certainly no vehicle in view in that image.

“FIFA PASS” to fast-track visas? Sounds like a convenient cover story for terrorists to get in easily.

How could she transfer the Nobel prize? Sure, prize winners get a medal, a diploma, and monetary award, but what’s really important is the recognition and the honor of being a Nobel laureate. A lot of them give the prize money to charity, and…

…oh lord, it’s the gold medal. [REDACTED] is such a toddler that he’s captivated by shiny, gold baubles.

Moving regime officials into quarters on military bases. They clearly have… plans.

None were born here.

And the desire not to vote is a human problem, far from uniquely American. Denial and dissociation are how people get through lots of life, if my own experience as well as conversations with Russian and Chinese friends are any indicator. And the reason that the wealthy foreigners come here is that the U.S. has been the current center of economic power. They would have gone to London in the 19th century.

And, for the record, I don’t actually expect that non-wealthy South Africans can do anything about Musk, but then, neither can non-wealthy Americans.

No, I’m cranky from people upthread putting all of the responsibility on us, when their countries ain’t so sweet and innocent. There’s a line a kilometer wide in fluorescent yellow between the 9/11 attacks back to U.S. imperialism, for instance, but Britain, Netherlands, Germany, and Russia all had their own brands of imperialism which are far more responsible for raising up those men to wealth. This is more a problem of class than nationality.

What?

Coincidentally, Congress just restricted drone imports about 2 weeks ago…

Huge chunks of our problems are Rupert Murdoch (Australia), Leon Musk (South Africa), Peter Thiel (Germany), Congress (Israel), and the POTUS (Russia). Maybe the rest of the world can not bother with America’s problems, but deal with the ones you’ve sent us?
