Even Hell, Mich., froze over: The community outside of Ann Arbor was expected to see temperatures drop to minus-26 overnight into Thursday. The nearby University of Michigan took the rare step of canceling classes through Thursday.
But, according to DumFux News, we can't stop using fossil fuel now, even though the use of fossil fuel has fucked it all up for us, because fossil fuel is the only thing we have that's really reliable - and let's be sure to conveniently ignore the fact that the fossil fuel industry's efforts to make their fuel the only one we can rely on is what got us into this fuckin' mess in the first fuckin' place.
The only real defense against Winter Storm Jayden is fossil fuels—the source of the vast majority of electricity that Americans will need to stay warm. Pie-in-the-sky talk about renewable energy won’t warm hearths and hearts during this storm, because the sun isn’t shining all the time and the wind capacity simply isn’t there.
Sorry not sorry but - goddammit, I hate these assholes.
Overheard on the intertoobz yesterday: "I think I just keyed that guy's car with my nipples."
Please make an extra effort to control your rage over the next few days, because it's inevitable that you'll hear some typically stoopid jokes about "Global Warming" from some typically stoopid Red Hat Rubes. Just try to remember: busting your knuckles on that idiot's head hurts a lot more when it's really cold like this.
45* tweeted only once yesterday, and 30 million rubes assumed it was because he was wrapped in a Muslim prayer rug, bound with duct tape, in the trunk of a super car blazing through the southwestern desert at 300 miles an hour.
I only wish it was possible for us to think any of that was beyond what the rubes are willing to believe.
I can't take you at your word because the things you say make it impossible for me to discern a consistently coherent worldview on your part. Alt-Right Playbook:
Kamala Harris, announcing her candidacy for POTUS.
Hometown crowd, but that's a right big bunch of folks. I'd normally ignore this because I tend not to get going with anybody who comes out almost 2 years ahead of the election. So that loses her a coupla points. But she hit on most of the points she needed to hit for me. I want her to get better at bringing the thunder. Presentation is important in public speaking, and as superficial as it seems, if you can't get a neutral crowd whipped up a little, then you might as well be lecturing a bunch of drowsy pre-schoolers right after lunch. Chris Cillizza recaps it: 1. "We were raised in a community where we were taught to see a world, beyond just ourselves. To be conscious and compassionate about the struggles of all people."
2. "My whole life, I've only had one client: the people."
3. "Fighting for the people meant fighting on behalf of survivors of sexual assault -- a fight not just against predators but a fight against silence and stigma."
4. "I'll tell you, sitting across the table from the big banks, I witnessed the arrogance of power. Wealthy bankers accusing innocent homeowners of fault, as if Wall Street's mess was of the people's making."
5. "On the subject of transnational gangs, let's be perfectly clear: The President's medieval vanity project is not going to stop them."
6. "To be sure we've won and we've lost, but we've never stopped fighting."
7. "We are here knowing that we are at an inflection point in the history of our world. We are at an inflection point in the history of our nation."
8. "America, we are better than this."
9. "When we have leaders who lie and bully and attack a free press and undermine our democratic institutions, that's not our America."
10. "People in power are trying to convince us that the villain in our American story is each other. But that is not our story."
11. "When we lift up the women of our country, we lift up the children of our country. We lift up the families of our country. And the whole of society benefits."
12. "Let's speak the truth that too many unarmed black men and women are killed in America. Too many black and brown Americans are locked up. From mass incarceration to cash bail to policing, our criminal justice system needs drastic repair. Let's speak that truth."
13. "We have foreign powers infecting the White House like malware."
14. "In the face of powerful forces trying to sow hate and division among us, the truth is that as Americans we have much more in common than what separates us."
15. "When women fought for suffrage, those in power said they were dividing the sexes and disturbing the peace."
16. "When abolitionists spoke out and civil rights workers marched, their oppressors said they were dividing the races and violating the word of God."
17. "I stand before you today, clear-eyed about the fight ahead and what has to be done -- with faith in God, with fidelity to country and with the fighting spirit I got from my mother."
18. "An America where our daughters, where our sisters, where our mothers and grandmothers are respected where they live and where they work."
19. "I will tell you this: I am not perfect. Lord knows, I am not perfect. But I will always speak with decency and moral clarity and treat all people with dignity and respect. I will lead with integrity. And I will speak the truth."
20. "As Robert Kennedy many years ago said, 'Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.' "
21. "These are not ordinary times. And this will not be an ordinary election." For me, every candidate needs to demonstrate they understand that there has to be more than just an implied question for everyone who wants to continue with policies that make it better for a few while fucking it all up for the rest of us - I want them to issue a direct challenge to the Daddy State: Why does it seem like you refuse to hear it when the entire world is crying?
