if there’s a minimum amount of consuming fossil fuels that’s required to continue to live in society, and the goal is to eliminate that, then we need change on a societal level. individuals alone cannot solve the problem, and therefore cannot be blamed for the problem existing
because not purchasing anything that is produced or transported with energy from fossil fuels means fucking off into the woods to starve to death naked in a hut made of mud and twigs
in my head it’s Foghorn Leghorn
so the BBC is more effective than Biden’s DoJ
if corporations are people why can’t we give them the death penalty when they commit mass murder?
when reading The Silmarillion, it’s important to remember that Finrod, the brother of Galadriel, is different from Fingon. Fingon is Finrod’s cousin, and also the brother of Turgon. Fingon and Turgon’s father is Fingolfin, who is the brother of Finarfin, who is Finrod’s father. you’ll have a hard time following the story if you don’t keep all those straight

it probably produces dialog that sounds more like it was written by a human
people might also be interested to know that downtown Chicago used to smell like brownies because of the Blommer chocolate factory that was there from 1939 to 2024
if you want to remove them from the area entirely because they consume too many resources, why would you go to the trouble of performing surgery and re-releasing it to consume more resources instead of just killing it. the former solves the problem in the future, the latter solves the problem now
a neutered animal still consumes resources
given his “drain the swamp” catchphrase, I nominate Swamp Song by Tool
"why don’t you watch where you’re wandering
why don’t you watch where you’re stumbling
you’re wading knee-deep and going in
and you may never come back again
this bog is thick and
easy to get lost in
'cause you’re a stupid

though of course Eulogy would also be an excellent choice
how telling it is that so many of his appointees are former fox hosts. he thinks they’re qualified to do these jobs because they’re the only people he’s ever heard talk about these topics in a way that seems authoritative. that’s the level of political discourse that the president engages in
