J’ai connu la faim: le vide qui ronge, les vertiges, la douleur sourde du corps. Mais ce dont je suis témoin aujourd’hui à Gaza, ce n’est pas la faim. C’est la famine. La faim est un sentiment. La famine est une arme. La faim vous affaiblit. La famine est utilisée pour vous briser.

Nous regardons un peuple, mon peuple, mourir de faim en temps réel.

When I was a kid, there was a chain of service stations^1^ in the western US that used a dinosaur as its logo. This pretty clearly implied that petroleum has something to do with dinosaurs.

Petroleum was formed from stuff at the bottoms of lakes and seas laid down long before dinosaurs dominated.

It's just as easy to teach people (kids in particular) the truth, so why not do so? "Gasoline, kids, comes from algae and plankton, not dinosaurs."

^1^ Sinclair Oil logo

You'll notice that I wrote "service" stations, not "gas" stations. The difference is significant. We still have gas stations, but we haven't had service stations in nearly 50 years.

In the film Back to the Future you'll see a service station. BTW, service stations were history when that film was made, and that film is already 40 years old.

When you pulled into a service station, at least one person would run out to your car, and start cleaning the windows while, at the same time, offering to check your oil level, offering to check your tire pressure, and asking how much gasoline you'd like to buy. The most common reply was "Fill 'r up." Never was a customer expected, or even allowed, to operate a gasoline pump.

In addition, individual service stations hired mechanics to do auto repair and preventative maintenance (e.g., changing the oil). Auto manufacturers didn't yet monopolize maintenance and repair.

We All Must Be More Attentive & Careful.
Flooding kills at least 24 people in Kerr County. At least 23 girls are missing. Rescue efforts underway.

Authorities advised people to call 800-733-2767 if they were trying to locate a loved one. One thing is for certain, we can't blame the deep state for this one. Rescuers raced against the clock on Friday night in their frantic search for more than 20 missing girls from a private Christian camp and anyone else who may have survived the deadly, unprecedented, and catastrophic floods when the Guadalupe River burst its banks in Kerr County. The floods have claimed at least 24 lives.

Forecasters warned more rain was coming to the region, nicknamed "flash flood alley," which may only worsen a "mass casualty event" that swept away entire buildings, and sent cars swirling through the gray and brown waters.

A somber assemblage of Texas National Guard commanders, state troopers, and emergency management joined Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick on Friday night in a livestreamed update. Abbott stressed that Texas would send all its resources to aid the rescuers. They provided no update on the missing girls.

Death toll now 24 in Guadalupe River floods. Search continues for more than 20 girls still missing.

Glastonbury Festival 2025 controversy


Bobbie Vylan released a statement saying: "The headline of it is: don’t let the media distract you from what’s truly important. [...] They want to control this country’s narrative to frame genocide as Israel defending itself [...] Regardless of how it was said, calling for an end to the slaughter of innocents is never wrong."[33] The band also released a statement, writing, "We are not for the death of Jews, Arabs or any other race or group of people. We are for the dismantling of a violent military machine. A machine whose own soldiers were told to use ‘unnecessary lethal force’ against innocent civilians waiting for aid. A machine that has destroyed much of Gaza."

The first #StopCopCity RICO defendant's felony trial is set to begin Monday, January 7. Ayla King, a young working class activist arrested at the Welaunee Music Festival, bravely filed for a speedy trial and refused any plea deal. Their case will mean mountains for the other 60 defendants.

People in (and traveling to) Atlanta are organizing for a festival-like atmosphere outside the courthouse to support Ayla and the movement, as well as funds for court and organizing costs including food, clothes and housing for Ayla in the event the trial lasts the expected 4-6 weeks. To that end, a new fundraiser page has been made - please give and encourage others to give here: givesendgo.com/freeaylaking

If you're unable to be in Atlanta, host a fundraiser, make a care package, and raise a ruckus for Ayla and the other defendants. Our movements are only as strong as our support for targets of state repression, and now's the time to show we defend out people!

How much more will it take for people to realize that the political stage (internationally, nationally, at the state level and to some extent even locally) is just that: a stage. --It’s all a scam, a show, a farce…whatever word you’d like to use. It is so sad to me to watch so many good people get sucked into this giant spectacle, wasting their passion on people who lie and quite frankly do not care about them. I’ve tweeted and said before: this guy’s role is the convince you to take the “safe vaccines”. He’s been a pro-abort & hard leftist on pretty much every issue his whole life. He ran as a DEMOCRAT yet somehow became the darling of the right??? What?

Who the fuck puts a used skillet and spatula in the oven and walks off and leaves it with out telling anyone? Now I got to clean melted plastic off my skillet and out of the oven

Seriously, stay the fuck out of the kitchen if you can't clean and put away dishes. BTW, I know who did and they better be glad they are gone off watching fireworks, I'd seriously jump their asses for being lazy niggers. ​

>Rees bluntly states, “the human enterprise is effectively subsuming the ecosphere” and “wide-spread societal collapse cannot be averted — collapse is not a problem to be solved, but rather the final stage of a cycle to be endured.”


The world is facing a 'semi-dystopian' future

If our present path doesn't change drastically, the science seems to suggest we are likely to experience a collapse of civilization — and we'll have nobody but ourselves to blame.

À Gaza, dans le silence international, le carnage continue

En une semaine, 630 Palestiniens ont été tués dans l’enclave, sous des bombardements ou en tentant d’accéder à de l’aide humanitaire. Dans l’attente d’un cessez-le-feu que Donald Trump souhaiterait conclure entre l’État hébreu et le Hamas, la population survit dans à peine 15% du territoire.
