Still can't believe the government has a banned word list for scientific reports.
They're just working up to banning science.
You mean banning ~~science~~ liberal shit talk non facts?
(how every conversation starts looking next year)
It's odd to me that they even have a banned words list to begin with
I'm not American but I know American academics and they have told me they are being pulled into meetings and given lists of words they must not use. So much for all the "free speech" whining from Republicans.
"Free speech" for republicans is just "I want to say the worst hateful, racist, bigoted shit out loud without repercussions"
"And punish you for daring to think about 'policing' me by calling me out."
Conservatives are, and have always been, about power over others. We kept their more evil nature's focused externally for a while with cold war, but without an external threat to point them at, they always turn on their neighbors eventually.
The government is owned by billionaires and they ban words that make line go up slower.
Whoever has the biggest bunker wins.
Imagine being so invested in bullshit that you have to censor any and all terms that contradict it.
Really, it's no wonder that Trump and his cronies and minions are so filled with rage - they're in a constant state of extreme cognitive dissonance.
And it makes sense in a way that they direct their rage at "woke" people and positions. From their limited, animalistic points of view, all they understand is that when they think of "woke," they're filled with rage. They aren't conscious enough to understand that the source of the rage isn't the positions or the people, but the cognitive dissonance they experience when they cling to their opposition to simple and obvious truths.
It has to be a miserable way to live, and if they weren't an existential threat to me, my family and friends, and society as a whole, I'd feel sorry for them.
his cronies and minions are so filled with rage - they're in a constant state of extreme cognitive dissonance.
And that will be their own undoing. Fascists are fully driven by emotions. They are anti-liberal and anti-intellect after all.
“Freeze peach” and all that.
what did peach do to deserve being frozen?
Y'all upset about all this... orbital heating? We really should reduce the amount of gassy leakages from cars and cows.
Too many car farts makes air go hot hot.
It looks like “global warming” and “pollution” are back in the menu, boys!
It was almost 90°F here today. You can't tell me global warming doesn't also fucking apply to climate change.
It doesn't matter what doublespeak they use, it's still happening
It doesn't matter? Of course it fucking matters
How can you be so obtuse? Do you not recall when a US Senator brought a snowball onto the floor of the senate to completely disprove this hoax?
Just like the time we had a minister bring a lump of "clean coal" into the Australian parliament.
Pretty neat demonstration of how the world beyond their viewpoint doesn't exist.
Global hotting
I do genuinely wonder if America can survive this perfect storm of idiotic fascism.
They haven't had real dialog about real issues in 10 years. Time flies doesn't it. It was dead the moment they entered the Trump era. This idiotic fascism era.
I don't see how they're bringing 1/3rd to 2/3rds the population back to reality. It was over when that half the country reneged on the social contract.
climate.nasa.gov still works, for now.
Shhh don't tell them
Good point.
Classic ministry of truth
I remember ten years ago you'd get mocked if you went round calling everything Orwellian, but it's crazy the sheer degree with which the GOP are using it as a guidebook.
Planetary abuse repercussions is a more accurate label, I say let's use that in place.
The problem is that changing the name makes it much harder for people to find and collate evidence.
Back to global warming?
World-wide uncoldification.
What else is there to say but arm the workers
Organize the workers. Many are already armed but it doesn't help without organization.
A cohesive unstoppable coordinated effort, not limited to a single service. Leveraging every method of communication from CB radio, to Internet, to satellite SMS, to ensure it can not be stopped.
Yes, Meshtastic may be very basic and limited, but now might be the time to set up a node or two while it's still possible.
Enemies of humankind
Wouldn't it be easier to just ban all reports, period? Problem solved.
That's phase 2 of the republicans plan
Gonna make it illegal to look up next?
So would it now be considered acceptable to use something like " [INSERT FIRM] passed gas to the amount of [BLANK] tons over [PERIOD OF TIME] "
It sure would make reports a hell of alot more interesting.
