#OtD 1 Apr 1982 oil company Exxon made a private report on CO2. It showed burning fossil fuels would cause global warming which may be irreversible and could be detectable by 1995. They then spent $31m to spread false propaganda claiming the opposite https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8039/exxon-greenhouse-effect-report

Ready for another joke? 🥁

The Irish Data Protection Commission, which is responsible for most major technology companies ( #Meta, #Google, #Apple, #OpenAI, #Microsoft,...) actually imposes fines in just 0.26% of the cases it handles. And even when a fine is imposed, the money is almost never collected. 🤡

1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly

2. If you are silly, you must stay silly

2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness

am sorry, but $4/gallon in 2026 is a fucking joke. back in the 1990s, gas was $7/g̶a̶l̶l̶o̶n̶ litre in many european countries.

petrol should be $20 a gallon if not more because USians should have changed the way they develop suburbs.

USA DOESN’T NEED CARS, it needs walkable towns with stores, hospitals, schools, post offices, grocery stores.

i hate USA suburbs because they are literally food, health care and education deserts.

KILL THE USA SUBURB,
SAVE THE WORLD.

nothing the fascists do can ever change the fact that the world is immeasurably better with trans people in it
