The legislation is personal for Rehder, who was married at age 15 to her 21-year-old boyfriend in 1984. A year earlier, her sister, at age 16, married her 39-year-old drug dealer, she has said.
That’s the reality of child marriage. It’s exploitation and child molestation. Keep in mind these are the same people who want LGBT+ people exterminated for being “groomers.” The accusation is a confession.
You see, our stock price goes up when we buy other companies and it goes up when we fire people. We’re doing both at the same time, so our stock price will go up double. This is a sustainable business model and not at all a very dead canary in a very deadly coal mine.
Maybe it’s methane release. Maybe it’s gasses from the sea floor we knew nothing about. We have no fucking clue what climate change is going to look like. PR firms told scientists to put the lowest projections in press releases for the last decade. The real numbers are both grim and proving to be optimistic.
As it turns out, the math was all wrong. Who knows why? Maybe all the Earth’s various systems are interrelated, and when one system collapses it causes dozens of other systems to collapse. Maybe Earth and the delicate balance that enabled life to grow on this planet is a little more sensitive to sudden, radical change than we thought.
Maybe all the people who lied about climate change since the 1970s lied about more shit we’re going to find out about shortly now that we can’t stop it from happening. But they’ll still make their profits and get their taxpayer-funded subsidies, so capitalism is working as intended.
They’re working on a way to project ads onto your closed eyelids and count that as engagement. It’s technically eyeballs. Maybe the brand makes it into your dreams.
Having that much top talent on the market on such short notice is an incredible opportunity. It should be a bidding war. Instead, it’s every person for themselves.
If only all these tech workers formed a union. Imagine the power a decentralized IT union would hold everywhere. Negotiate salary and benefits collectively or absolutely fucking everything collapses all at once.

It’s sad that that’s probably all we can hope for, but it is what it is. The playing field is not even remotely level. Fight and scrape just to get the bastards to be transparent about their thievery.
There is no ceiling. It might go up 6 or 7C. The people who have the power to change things do not give a shit if the rest of us die. They don’t care, and they won’t change anything. That’s the world we live in.
Finally some good news on the climate. Our ability to fuck the Earth will mostly go away when our civilization collapses. We might even get a second Genghis Khan cooling when everyone dies.
When reached for comment, Zuckerberg told reporters, “Don’t waste my time with this shit. It’s not even in the top 10 of evil shit I did in the last hour.”
I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying “woke”, “critical race theory”, ““grooming””, and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....
Student loans, credit cards. They fuck you even if you’re homeless. The debt accumulates. Just waiting for you to get back on your feet.
Make no mistake about it. The wealth extraction class has refined its methods to the maximum. They’re stealing everything that isn’t nailed down before they lock down in their bunkers to survive global warming.
