The accusations will forever be a stain. Not sure I could honestly watch and support something like this. I don’t understand why we’re still listening to his music…

If they actually brought the accusations front and center, it might be worth watching… but removing it all?

Nah.

Going to have to pass.

Thank you for this. 💜

I used edsf and hate that wasd became the standard. Bah.

The AP article implied he was the only temporary and that the head of the EPA was being looked at for permanent replacement.

That implies somebody more independent would be put in place? I have a feeling that it’s just going to be someone worse still.

So would Bernie Sanders and AOC be considered “liberals” or is there a better term?

Now which horrendous replacement and even stronger loyalist will ultimately end up in her place?

It’s insane how easily Donald can just keep forcing his way further forward without any real resistance.

This is the first time I’ve seen the phrase blueMAGA. I can imagine what it means and I’m curious which (democratic) politicians most fit the bill, in yours and others opinions.

… [strikes] would only end if Russia stopped targeting Ukraine’s first.

Why would any nation expect otherwise?

Asinine.

Does it cloak?

What the hell is wrong with you? Delete this from the internet!

Well damn, I just watched Secondhand Lions with my children this weekend.

I hope I can live as long as him. What a great number of years.

For those that it may be unclear to, the song was removed after the September 11th 2001 terrorist attacks occurred in the United States. “The station’s executive music producer Colin Martin describing the song as being ‘too frivolous in light of the news that was breaking’”.

Neck pillow, duh.

Probably the reason I rewatch so much Star Trek. I love seeing what humanity is capable of.

(Yes, I still read/watch dystopic and apocalyptic stories, but I’ve been doing this less and less because it’s honestly depressing when I look at society today and realize this seems to be where we’re heading instead).

Unfortunately, I won’t care what the history books will say because I will long be dead and forgotten as well.

I cannot hope in the hereafter because there simply is no plausible basis for such, as nice as the thought of justice in the hereafter would be.

No. If there is justice to be had, it would need to be in this lifetime to be considered such. Anything less is our failing of today.

sighs Such a crummy species we can be. The only thing I can hold on to is the fact that human progress has trended towards the better and hopefully it will continue that direction (presuming we don’t obliterate ourselves). It’s too bad I won’t be around to see that.

When one focuses on the whole, they can see the positive progression of humanity. It is indeed better than ever. Humans are living longer and healthier and with more dignity than before. But… it’s much too slow. I’ve only this single life. We truly are capable of so much more… if we really wanted.

It’s too bad I wasn’t born much later. I’d like to see humanity at its best. But I suppose there’s just as much chance that we’ll obliterate ourselves.

There is very little I can affect and experience in my lifetime, and so I will do with my time what I might. But goodness, there are some hard days… and years.

Oh, wow. 😏

Seriously. With the amount of anger regarding the Epstein files, I have zero confidence that real consequences will be paid by the perpetrators and those who looked away. I’ve even less hope in justice for the victims…

I really need some hope in this. Please. 😞
