The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed

people *really* don't understand the change part of #climatechange or that we're constantly surprised by *what the changes are* despite having studied this my entire adult life the earth is a massively complex system that we depend upon for life and we are FUCKING WITH IT seems bad

No, I am gonna quote dunk. This lady is an anti-semite, a Hitler supporter, and a transphobe. Please add to block lists accordingly. She is also whackdoodle.
Would you say that to innuit hunting for seals, migrating birds, whales etc to eat - the only food they can get ? This smells of a globalists' plot to take away from indigenous people their ability to sustain themselves off their environmens.

I don't usually like horror but this sounds amazing
Mason Coile wrote about a man sealed in a box, carried towards an ending he did not pick. Andrew Pyper died twenty months before the book came out. Driven is the last Coile novel, and the most schadenfreude thing horror has published this year. https://gnofhorror.com/driven-by-mason-coile-review/
