Four days a week, I work for free. The fifth post pays the bills.

If you want in, an annual subscription works out to about 30 cents a post and comes with a free signed book, which isn’t even the worst deal around.

If you can’t swing it or you aren’t sure if you like me that much, no worries. Free content will resume tomorrow. :)


“Scientists have issued a stark warning that climate change poses an existential threat to humanity as societies grapple with intensifying pressures from our planet’s evolving environment,” The Mirror US wrote this week.

It’s so urgent they had to repeat themselves.

According to this breaking report, the earth is careening toward a series of catastrophic climate “tipping points” that could trigger a “tipping cascade”—a spine-chilling scenario that would render huge swaths of the planet uninhabitable, melt the polar ice sheets, destroy the Amazon (the trees, not the delivery service; Bezos will remain unscathed in his underground bunker), unleash immeasurable quantities of carbon from the permafrost, displace millions of people, and [*checks notes*] completely collapse the entirety of human civilization.

Not possibly inconvenience it. Not dramatically impact it. Not even royally screw it up for several generations.

Complete. Collapse.

(Are we stockpiling toilet paper yet or do we wait for Pfizer to get involved? It’s so hard to keep up.)

I know. It sounds grim. But don’t worry! “Experts” have their Climate Emergency Plan all queued up and ready to go.

Where else do you get bad news, big laughs, and allllll the best memes?
