HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here

I always thought there would be more time. For those who remember me from my Afterbuzz days, I did all the guest booking for our Robots In Disguise show. For a while, I was in talks with Peter Cullen's agent in an attempt to book him on the show. It never shook out.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people
