Trump, Putin, Netanyahu — I’m so damn tired of these rich, old, murderous men who cling to power and make the world suffer, desperately trying to escape justice. So damn tired.

@Strandjunker

I second this. Every word of it.

@Strandjunker remember: They are still just men, humans and thus bound to the same unbreakable laws.

  • Laws like Physics!
@kkarhan @Strandjunker Wow, that's a really rubbish thought 😂

@khleedril @Strandjunker no, it's just a reminder that they ain't untouchable…

  • And that they too rely on others to cover them.

How you interpret this is your problem, not mine!

@Strandjunker

I am ready for someone other than an old white dude running things.

They had their chance

I understand and approve the sentiment. But this constant structural assignment isn’t helpful, actually. And if you get to non European majority places you can remove the “white” while staying on message. And then you got Maggie, Theresa (well, Merkel as *the* boss but a good one) so it is … complicated but easily stereotyped. And a few good rich ones.

Better to focus on what’s wrong with those dimwits and especially their followers?

@Strandjunker Me too. They are a curse on our planet. All 3 are so destructive and psychopathic.

The huge sum shows that while the Koch network may not hold significant power at high levels of the Republican Party, it remains a financial juggernaut.

We've been converting to electric for the last few years. It takes money. I wanted to go solar ten years ago, but we couldn't afford it.

To evade Trump's tariffs on solar panels, might think about ordering them from elsewhere.

Small plug-in solar panels gain traction as an affordable way to cut electricity bills

For years, solar power at home was mostly limited to people who owned their rooftops and could afford the steep upfront costs. But now, a new generation of small, affordable systems — often called “plug-in” solar — are making clean energy more accessible. Already widespread in Germany, the movement is gaining momentum in the United States. Laura Klivans of PBS member station KQED reports.

I am grateful for mortality and death and a failure to extend it

@Strandjunker I remember Thatcher and Reagan and how people thought that then.
@Strandjunker As the last of the generation that witnessed large scale war dies away it is easy for us to forget the true horrors these mad men unleashed on the world. The piles of rotting corpses, hidden behind their nationalist propaganda. We seem set to repeat such inhumane lessons.

@Eurospoofer @Strandjunker

I think that a lot too. That we just forgot. That we think, hey this is so super caring for me, why don't we try this? Nice hats, nice salutes, a super caring chat buddy, a fridge with junk food, finally I can be someone special, led by someone extraordinary, a real saviour of ours.

@Strandjunker Most of us are..

Like really tired 

@stux @Strandjunker That's the entire history of civilization. Except for the revolutions, where the young people are really energetic about killing other people for a few years.
@Strandjunker Worst of all, Trump has been compromised on every front. Putin bailed him out in the ’80s, and Epstein had cameras everywhere, giving Israel all the leverage they could want.

@Strandjunker

yes, trump welcomes these 2 like they are royalty when in fact both are War Criminals. I suppose trump could be one, too, perhaps that is why he has Hegseth bombing Venezuelan boats. He's jealous????

@Strandjunker while we are all getting tired of them constantly stealing our attention, @pluralistic is looking for the cracks they stupidly open in the very structures that support them:

Especially good if you are in the need of a spark of hope.

A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet

Trump has staged an unscheduled, midair rapid disassembly of the global system of trade. Ironically, it is this system that prevented all...

@Strandjunker Let's add Xi with his threats to take over Taiwan. How do we allow these maniacs to rule our world? Honestly, it is so depressing. It is as though the human race has a death wish
