“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts ... There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature—the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” —Rachel Carson
Great collection of top cartoons

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

Really going to miss this guy
