    Far be it from me to advocate for the destruction of property, but if something were to happen to mess up this mad mirror-in-space project before it can assault the planet, I wouldn't shed any tears.
    We really need international laws with real teeth to put an end to this use of the planet and its life forms as involuntary lab rats by the morbidly rich.

    The Lowest Bid


    The Lowest Bid by Stewart Stafford

    The sceptre is cast to the shivering sea
    with divine ordinance, codes of chivalry.
    A blinding vision of the fallen from on high,
    New roving dregs with a scavenger’s eye.

    Yield up the light, coax out the dying flame,
    Punishment for crimes revokes your name.
    Was freedom built on ancient delusion?
    It persists as the architect’s cold conclusion.

    The most degrading and painful descent
    is the one to the lower “kingdom” crescent,
    Shadow throne invoked by seditious implication.
    Collusion not coercion, mummified by mediation.

    Trust not the expedient offer, the beatific start —
    They can only embalm the chasms of the heart.

  9. This image from the Guardian... 🤣🤣🤣

    for those not following UK politics, Nigel Farage has resigned his parliamentary seat - a stunt designed to frustrate corruption investigations. Farage is hoping to be reelected again, but no parties are standing against him. This leave's Count Binface as the leading candidate against him.

  28. "The entire #system is #rotten. It will not reform itself.

    In the #final #days of a civilization, a population wallows in self-delusional #hubris and trumpets false virtues.

    Trump is perfectly tailored for these #death #throes. He is not a freak or an anomaly. He is the naked visage of our #pathological sickness."

    The downfall of many

    #MicheleSpagnuolo, aka "AlphaRaccoon" (lol! 🤪) on #Polymarket, made a number of successful bets on #Google search terms

    Well, that's because he worked at Google

    🤦

    Thing is, his winnings were substantial, but still paled in comparison to his high level of remuneration from his job as an #informationSecurity engineer in #Zurich

    Well, now Google has placed him on leave

    He believed he was so smart

    He was. But not smart enough
