Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon released more “UAP” files and like every time before, they’ve proved nothing but the existence of blurry videos. No need for extraterrestrials while this administration is terrorizing the planet with bombs, embargoes, and a daily torrent of the stupidest stuff the galaxy has ever seen.

Trump’s adventure in Iran is predictably leading to soaring oil and gas prices, something that was very important for the media right up until Election Day in 2024. “I Did That!” stickers blaming Biden for inflation were all the rage, so I figured I’d take a shot at elevating the genre for this regime.
I might actually make these if there’s enough interest to cover production costs up front. But until then, I can tweak a few of the designs for My Threadless Shop, which needs some more designs to take advantage of the $13 t-shirt sale that’s currently going on. Let me know if there’s any you’d like to see!

It’s hurricane season, a heat wave is about to smother the northeast and FEMA and the NWS are just two of the many casualties of this administration. When a real disaster strikes, these bozos would have spent all their resources rounding up line cooks to give Stephen Miller a semi.
Unlike billionaires in their bunkers, the real guideline is to participate in mutual aid whenever you can. No one’s lookin’ out for us but each other.

Oligarchs, plutocrats, whatever you want to call them, they’re all breaking their necks to be the first to lick Trump’s boots before he’s even sworn in for the second time. Something really is wrong with billionaire brains because they’re the one class that doesn’t have to think or worry about the guy at all. They’re gonna be fine!
They’re each uniquely awful in their own ways, but Zuckerberg’s latest move to explicitly throw LGBTQ+ people under the bus might be the most craven. He’s so convinced people won’t leave his platforms that he’s copying what Elon Musk did to Twitter and not expecting half its userbase to leave.
Maybe there are enough people addicted to Facebook and Instagram for that to succeed, but I won’t be posting anything there besides links that no one sees anyway.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying more stupid, hateful shit, and it’s arguably not even the worst of the lies going around about the recent hurricanes and relief efforts. It’s especially demented to scapegoat innocent people when there are real humans to blame in the fossil fuel industry who’ve been denying what their own scientists have been saying about climate change for over forty years.
The climate crisis is here and now that denial won’t work, the conspiracy theories are going to do even more of the heavy lifting to stop what’s necessary to mitigate any of it; not to mention what they’ll do to otherize people forced to flee the next disaster or the countless ones that will follow.
Progress is being made though! The poorly named Inflation Reduction Act has done a lot to boost the already booming renewable energy industry. We just have to find a way to stop all those gains from going to A.I. so it can give dweebs a picture of Smurfette with big boobs.

We’re about to have a heat wave here in the Northeast, which will be minor compared to the heat waves happening elsewhere around the globe so far this summer. Ocean temps are already shattering records held since … last year, and hurricane season is only officially two weeks old.
Locally, ocean temps are still too chilly for people who didn’t grow up in New England (AKA my spouse), but the swimming season here is already a month longer than when I was a kid forty years ago.

It’s summer blockbuster season already, and even I saw Dune Part 2 in a theater; my first time in one since before the pandemic. Most of the trailers were variations on existing properties. More than the usual beating intellectual properties to death, there’s a trend of maudlin revivals that take themselves way too seriously. If it’s not in one already, the next Ghostbusters movie will reveal Slimer (AKA Onionhead) has a tragic backstory that it’s the ghost of a child who died from a famine and that’s why it loves hot dogs so much.
There are lots of good movies still being made, but this is the season for garbage. I like garbage too! But not as much as I love to complain.

Almost five years after Boeing’s cost-cutting grounded 737 Maxes, a plugged door failed on one on its way out of Portland. They nearly avoided charges for the first round of negligence, but this latest incident reset the clock.
These disasters, or near-disasters, happen because passengers aren’t Boeing’s or the airlines’ customers. Their shareholders are. It’s the same reason why only masochists fly Southwest. Extracting profit from us rubes to churn out dividends or worsening the product to claim write-offs isn’t unique to aviation; it’s a symptom of late-stage capitalism.
Can’t think of a clever segue to carbon offsets, so I’ll just say they’re a scam. Unless investments in true transit alternatives are made, our reliance on air travel remains bad news for the climate. No one, not even me, a bike-riding transit pinko, would opt to take Amtrak instead of a plane to anywhere further from Boston than DC. And that’s before even taking costs into consideration.
