Yeah we're at the point where tech companies are a five-alarm fire threat to democracy. They're aiming for political escape velocity; to not only gather enough power to completely evade regulation, but also to be able to subjugate traditional territorial states.

Read. This. Now. Even if you hate technical stuff, read it anyway. Our current way of life is ending, and soon. rajsarkar.substack.com/p/mythos-bro...

Doomers/Realists be like, whatever, we said it was worse. I had been saying 2C by 2050, new data suggested 2C by 2040. Now it looks like I was wrong, finally 🫨 2.3C by 2040 www.edie.net/global-warmi...

I was invested in VSGX, an international ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) fund. Very woke as far as investments go, and somewhat insulated from deprecitation of USD vs other currencies. I had been doing quite well up until the end of February, up some 30% over the previous 12 months. /1

Jeff Bezos Says 'I Would Love To See A Trillion Humans Living In The Solar System' "The only way to get to that vision is with giant space stations." We're already on a giant space station, almost 8000 miles in diameter. We're killing it. /1 www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Given the vulnerabilities of the Strait I think Iran believed that no one would be stupid enough to go to war with them. They seriously underestimated just how dumb Trump and his Republican enablers are.

'Planet wants to prevent “adversarial actors” from using images for “Battle Damage Assessment” purposes.' Translation: Trump doesn't want us to know how badly the war is going for the U.S., and how many billion dollar installations have been destroyed. arstechnica.com/space/2026/0...

Perhaps an unintended consequence for Russia as a result of their orange puppet's rash actions: Iran won't be able to send any unneeded Shahed drones to Putin to help bomb Ukraine. Depending on how long the U.S. war on Iran lasts, this could become a welcome respite for Ukraine.

China and India are not concerned; they're getting black market Russian oil at a discount. Although now they may have to pay a little more . . .

I wonder if there is a country which would greatly appreciate an increase in the demand for and price of black market oil?

That Venezuelan oil Trump is stealing just became a lot more valuable.

Former Farming Leaders Warn U.S. Agriculture Could Face ‘Widespread Collapse’ “. . . increased costs for farm inputs, disrupted overseas and domestic markets, denied agriculture its reliable labor pool, and defunded critical ag research and staffing.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u...

Used to be the government must use due process to deprive citizens of their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Now the government can deprive us of any or all of these for no reason at all, and we have to try to use due process to get them back. If due process works at all . . .

Surely Democrats and the public are not going to fall for another, "He's learned his lesson." Right? RIGHT!

While I am hopeful that things will get better, I doubt it. A year after Hitler became Chancellor the country became alarmed at his vicious policies and actions. He then "purged" some of his most violent followers. The public became convinced that the worst was over. We know how that turned out.

@void-d00m.bsky.social Oh Donald, what did you do now? We've got enough problems without Doomerputers. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

America will be occupying Greenland, invading Canada, at war with NATO and under martial law before November. There’s not going to be another election.

The awesome thing about being a Doomer is that you don’t have to lie until someone loves you. You can tell them the truth and they will hate you immediately.

Minneapolis.

NBC Nightly news spent the first 7 minutes whitewashing the Minneapolis shooting. Fuck these corporate fascists.

Feels like I'm not as anxious and depressed as I should be given recent events, so I'm going to make more espresso.

#collapse Important read. The hunger numbers alone are shocking. Expectations for climate migration create conditions of chaos. People pretending that all is going well are in for a rude awakening. Blessings upon Earth.

The Epstein emails provide a wealth of men and women who should be investigative targets. Who is going to go after these pedophiles and their enablers? When? Or are we just going to wait until Trump preemptively pardons them all?

March now or march later . . .

This weekend the Trump administration may order the Navy to fire missiles or other ordinance from offshore into Camp Pendleton. This may result in closing I5 between San Clemente and Oceanside for an extended period of time. But the Navy has a bombing range . . . /1 www.latimes.com/california/s...

Now that Mike Johnson has declared October 7-13 as a “District Work Period,” Democratic Representatives and Senators need to distribute in teams to cities under attack by ICE, and demand media cover them. If we’re going to be accused of a left wing insurrection we might as well televise the truth.

This is why we can't have a nice planet. arstechnica.com/ai/2025/09/o...

The nominal goal of preventing mega mergers was to prevent control of a market by a handful of companies. In the last couple of decades, though, captured regulators have allowed more and more huge media mergers resulting increased concentration of power and influence. /1

Disney and all its affiliates canceled. I'll be damned if I am going to fund my oppressors.

" . . . the California Legislature passed Governor Gavin Newsom’s bill, SB 237, as part of a controversial “climate” package that greenlights tens of thousands of new oil and gas drilling permits . . . over the next decade with no further environmental review." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Why am I a doomer? I went down to stroll my local beach at sunset, and found this piece of plastic. It had been visible for at least three hours and hundreds of people had walked past it without picking it up. So I did.

This will expand into elections, with ICE and cooperating police departments detaining POC waiting to vote in swing districts. Coupled with elimination of mail in voting and gerrymandering, Republicans will expand their super majorities in red states and then nationally. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Time to set up neighborhood road blocks and refuse entry to anyone who doesn't live there. Any "law enforcement agents" must show valid ID and a warrant to gain entry. Call local police if unauthorized individuals attempt to access area. Meet fake ICE agents with equal force if they try to get in.

In a democracy, elected leaders serve citizens. In a monarchy, peasants serve self appointed royalty. Are we citizens, or are we peasants? Decide now, while there is still time.

I'm so fucking angry. They can do whatever they want to whomever they want and we're supposed to stay peaceful. This is bullshit.

"Americans could face a 70 percent hike in their electricity bills by 2030 unless action is taken to boost generation and transmission capacity to satisfy an AI-driven surge in demand from data centers." www.theregister.com/2024/11/22/a...
