I heard this song on WMPG's show, #TheWeavers with #LisaSockabasin. What a great lead-up to today's #DemocracyNow broadcast (Weavers is at 11:30am, while Democracy Now airs at Noon).

"You provided us a home; our conduct is shameful
Momma! We need you now more than ever
I can't believe the way we treated you; better late than never
I've taken you for granted but from here and now I cherish you
And this my open letter to show the pain that I share with you
You've given us a life, my brothers make you hurt
But all they see is dollar signs when stealing out your purse
Man, they never taken the time to see you for what you really worth
But the damage done is permanent it can't be reversed

Oh Momma! You really made some shady people
You've given them the world but like the sun you see no evil
Momma D was my teacher but she gone now
I know where I belong now; my mother's keeper
So Momma I refuse to see you die this way
I take your pain to fuel my fame to fight the game another day

It's oil mines and pipelines; show me what the cancer is
Injected in your veins I'll tell you what the answer is
Momma, Momma!
(Wade, in the water)
Momma, Momma!
(Wade, in the water, children)"

"Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
On and on and on on and on

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

Ummmm... Earth Has Tilted 31.5 Inches. That Shouldn’t Happen. Can we fix it back?

By Tim Newcomb, Published: Nov 15, 2025

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story:

- When humans pump #groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation.
- Additionally, a study documents just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on #ClimateChange.
- Understanding this relatively recent data may provide a better understanding of how to help stave off #SeaLevelRise."

"NASA research published in 2016 alerted us to the fact that the distribution of water can change the Earth’s rotation. This study in Geophysical Research Letters attempts to add some hard figures to that realization. 'I’m very glad to find the unexplained cause of the rotation pole drift,' Seo says. 'On the other hand, as a resident of Earth and a father, I’m concerned and surprised to see that pumping groundwater is another source of sea-level rise.'

"The study included data from 1993 through 2010, and showed that the pumping of as much as 2,150 gigatons of groundwater has caused a change in the Earth’s tilt of roughly 31.5 inches. The pumping is largely for irrigation and human use, with the groundwater eventually relocating to the oceans.
In the study, researchers modeled observed changes in the drift of Earth’s rotational pole and the movement of water. Across varying scenarios, the only model that matched the drift was one that included 2,150 gigatons of groundwater distribution."

Thank You World by #WorldParty

"Colors, scents and symphonies fall on me like tears
And time around me stretches back and forth across the years
Was I sent to see your beauty just to please my aching heart?
Oh, I want to say good morning, but I don't know where to start

Thank you world, thank you world (Oh, thank you world)
Thank you world (Oh, thank you world)
Thank you world (Oh, thank you world)
Thank you world (Oh, thank you world)

Well, I'm lying in the dew, and I'm staring at the stars
Yeah, he laid me down this blanket, now I call this blanket 'Grass'
And the sun is my alarm, and the moon, she makes me dream
And my food is wild honey pie and water from the stream

Thank you world (Oh, thank you world)
Thank you world (Oh, thank you world)
For giving me my children (Oh, thank you world)
For keeping me alive, thank you world (Oh, thank you world)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, are you getting the vibe?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, are you really alive?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, are you getting my vibe?
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, are you really alive?

(Oh, thank you world)
(Oh, thank you world)
(Oh, thank you world)
(Oh, thank you world)

Everything I need, she is living, guaranteed
She's what I mean when I say everything's alright
She got diamonds, she got pearls
She got wisdom and this girl is all you need
To know that everything's alright
And I need to know that everything's alright."
