We're not going to terraform Mars, but we're doing a good job of venusforming Earth.
  • This is why it's silly hearing billionaires, who do the most damage to our planet, telling us how urgently we need to "get off this rock" which has supported life for millions of years in favor of some dead planet. It's really just an extension of capitalism that demands infinite space to exploit, instead of being content with sustainability.

  • YSK: US Senate offices pay attention to how many constituents are calling them on a topic. Democracy doesn't end at the ballot box
  • Anti-genocide protesters did more than just pick up a phone and call. We all saw the result.

  • Dearborn residents show remorse after Trump win: 'He's playing us'
  • I can vote for them while criticizing their support for genocide and their generally idiotic political strategy. The other party being worse doesn't change this.

  • Dearborn residents show remorse after Trump win: 'He's playing us'
  • How would adding who I voted for change my first post?

  • Dearborn residents show remorse after Trump win: 'He's playing us'
  • How? I voted for Harris. It was the democrats who supported genocide and then lost against a clown for the second time.

  • Biden welcomes Trump for fireside chat as he prepares to watch his legacy burn
  • Democrats: "we are the only thing standing against fascism"

    Reality: *democrats standing with fascism*

  • Dearborn residents show remorse after Trump win: 'He's playing us'
  • The "better choice" argument is used by democrats to follow republicans deeper and deeper into the right wing because as long as democrats are slightly less fascist, they're technically the "better choice". Now we're at the point where democrats are full-throatedly supporting genocide. You know, something that literal nazis are known for. Put that in your notes.

  • Take that pesky liberals!
  • Democrats lost some voters because they couldn't stop sucking off fascists in israel and now they're smug because the other party who kicked their incompetent asses also suck off fascists in israel. Apparently we're supposed to laugh at anti-genocide protestors in this situation.

  • They should've voted for democrats, who also love genocide. Seriously, the only "leopards ate my face" I see are democrats insisting on supporting genocide and then predictably losing support from voters. These voters were just desperate for any possibility of change, no matter how slim. This is understandable when the change they were hoping for was to not have a president that supported genocide. This doesn't deserve mockery, no matter how misguided.

  • The American Empire
  • Americans may be surprised to find that foreigners actually don't pay as much attention to US elections as they think. Even many people in the US don't care, they're just inundated with media coverage of it. At most about 66% of eligible voters even vote and the people that do vote aren't necessarily informed. You may have seen interviews with undecided voters. They turn up to vote but haven't necessarily put much thought into it.

    As an aside, I find it funny when Americans scream about other countries empire building and carrying out provocative military exercises when the US has so many military bases everywhere. You don't need to officially annex land to control it, that's old style thinking.

  • Missing votes sat on their scroats and threw the election to Hitler.
  • He won't be allowed. I would be willing to bet on it.

  • Trump’s Israeli ambassador pick Mike Huckabee called Palestinians a ‘made-up’ people
  • Seeing as biden gave billions in support of israel while they carried out this genocide for over a year, the moniker is well-earned. Hopefully you do some self-reflection to realize that both parties full-throatedly support israel. The other guy being worse is not an excuse to support genocide. Democrats will keep talking about how much worse republicans are while moving to the right in pace with them.

  • Bernie Would Have Won. Seriously.
  • Do you think the outcome would be different under democrats? Please tell me how the party that has given billions in support of israel's genocide for over a year was so totally going to stop it at any moment if they just simply got voted in again.

  • Veterans Day
  • The US has been involved in war for almost every single year of its existence, so actually it's easy to say even when one's home country is involved in a war.

  • Veterans Day
  • What about the veterans on the other side of those wars? Do you celebrate them as a "super man" (übermensch)? I'm sure they thought they were fighting for a good cause too.

  • Minimal Voting Data of 2020 and 2024 US presidential election.
  • People need motivation to vote. A selective tax credit or "other guy bad" simply isn't enough. You can complain all you want about how stupid people are for not voting against fascism, but if you cannot face the reality of voters and how to get them to vote then how much smarter can you really call yourself over others? This is a lesson that apparently needs to be learned every election yet never seems to be learned.

  • What are you buying now to avoid upcoming price increases?
  • Panic buying like this only leads to more price increases. I just buy the minimum, like usual.

  • World-first stem-cell treatment restores vision in people - Three people with severely impaired vision who received stem-cell transplants have experienced substantial improvements in their sight.
  • A fourth person with severely impaired vision also experienced gains in their sight, but they did not last.

    Bharti says it isn’t clear what exactly caused the vision improvements. It’s possible that the transplanted cells themselves proliferated in the recipient’s corneas. But the vision gains could also be due to the removal of scar tissue before the transplant, or the transplant triggering the recipient’s own cells to migrate from other regions of the eye and rejuvenate the cornea.

    These parts are a little concerning to me, but I'm still hopeful.

  • Frustrated Americans await the economic changes they voted for with Trump
  • Maybe prices will come down with the next downturn. Will be tough to hold a job to pay those reduced prices, but at least the prices are lower.
