Well the first one is just a normal Tuesday. Still likely effected by global warming, but not really disasters like the other three.
I liked yesterday’s picture of the Titanic nosing deeply into the water and somebody up on the stern end saying if we’re supposedly “sinking” how are we up so high? Classic denialist mentality. Unfortunately also typical of the meme-level thinking people do on most issues now.
They voted trump back in to the white house, there’s no hope for them.
As MAGA/ADL would say it is “pro hamas woke climate alarmists supporting DEI” that make Jewish Space Lazers cause all of this.
You won’t convince people if you use the term “warming” and then present them snow in Texas. Climate change is the right expression.
Warning*
Eh, “Global Warming” is fine. Texas isn’t the globe. I’ve come to believe the whole “If we explain it differently, maybe it’ll convince them” approach is largely a waste of energy.
Excuse me, but as a resident of the planet Texas, you both are wrong in assuming we have the ability to comprehend anything we didn’t hear come from our own assholes.
You fool! Texas is a Star System not a planet. Houston for example is a planet.
It’s right there on the flag!
Climate change is a GOP/Oil industry invented term to sound less scary than global warming. It doesn’t mean no snow ever again, or every square inch of planet is warmer than last year.
”Climate Crisis“ is a term that has been established in Germany. Pretty fitting and doesn’t mess with people’s expectations (I hope).
Climate catastrophe
I don’t object to that term. With “climate change” we get the opinion “well climate has always been changing so drill baby drill won’t make it stop changing”.
I mean yes, but also

The US by far gets the most press, and has some of the most braindead responses to the climate crisis, but it’s a big club of assholes, and America is just a part of it
Now show us per capita
global warning
The meme is technically correct then.
Nah I think we’ve had the warnings and the is the “find out” part
What?? We’ve had many global warming warnings…. Globally!
global waning
Well at least they’re consistent.
ChadMcWarning
But it’s cold where I live! /s
Well, yeah. Hehe. The first image with a plow in the snow is very normal where I live. And there are millions living with this. It doesn’t convey the meaning of snow where it doesn’t normally snow, or bigger snowstorms when they happen, to people living where it snows regularly for a big chunk of the year, but I understand the spirit of the whole anyway.
Or places that normally get snow are getting less and less.
How dare you, have some compassion, now is NOT the time to talk about Global “Warming” or whatever conspiracy you’re hawking today. Our thoughts should be with the people, we should be sending thoughts and prayers, and you just want to make it all “political”.

OBVIOUSLY THEY DESERVED IT BECAUSE THEY’RE A BUNCH OF HEATHENS
Oh yeah. We’re doing fine as a country. The sad part is we could actually solve this problem, humanity could indeed solve this if we put our minds to it and unified. We’re stupid dumb monkey brained though and can’t think of anything beyond “I got mine”
The sad part is we could actually solve this problem, humanity could indeed solve this if we put our minds to it and unified.
Unified? With those disgusting foreigners? The degenerate leftists? The weird religious wackos? The MAGA chuds? The neoliberal shills? The Tankies? The know-nothing hoy paloy? The Epstein-loving bourgeois? The Hollywood sickos? The losers? The haters? The freaks? And some, of course, who I assume are nice people?
There’s a lot of natural social divides that are difficult to surmount. But more frustrating and complicated than that, we have a certain number of scammers and opportunists who will step in and seize the banner of a popular front for self-promotion.
We saw this during OWS, during BLM, during the Climate marches, and during the Tea Party protests. Lots of would-be celebrities simply rush in and start hawking their brands under anything with serious mass appeal. Whether its a Sanders socialism or a Trump fascism or a Buttigieg radical centrism, I regularly see media jammed up with the same clown car of Hawk Tuah Girl promotionals that quickly drown out any kind of serious organizing.
This, combined with the heavy hand of corporate/political censorship that lands on the back of the more sincere and credible activists, disrupts the organic popular movements and obscures them with layer after layer of scam. AI is supercharging the process.
Case in point, any time I say something positive about Gaza or critical of Israel on Bluesky, my mentions fill up with generic 2-day-old accounts showing vaguely Arab-looking profiles asking for donations to relief organizations I’ve never heard of. Organizing in an environment that’s overflowing with these kinds of scams - and, consequently, cultivating a ton of cynicism in the audience - is very difficult.
BLM is a great example. I remember being so mad, and wanting something to change, and there was a huge, massive cultural shift for it. I remember thinking how if everyone would unify behind one thing, we wanted one systemic thing to change - demilitarization of the police as an example, we could probably have done it. Everyone chanting and demanding the same one thing. Then we move onto the next, and the next, and the next.
Instead we got a list of like, 24 things that random people collected from chat rooms and online forums that they demanded. There was no way anyone was going to see a list that large and just say “Yup okay we’re on it”. But people wouldn’t budge, their thing was the most important, it was all or nothing - and so that’s what we got. Nothing. We could have had some huge systemic change there and instead nothing happened.
Occupy, BLM, protests, they’re all well and good but they depend on people unifying. This here, this is the thing we want. Make it a bill and push it through now. It won’t encompass everything. It won’t be perfect. But it’s progress. Instead we just go back and forth, and they know all they have to do is wait out the outcry until people get bored and they move on, so we can keep the status quo.
Cultural pollution. We are losing the ability to agree and act, piece by piece.
I dislike misanthropy, so I don’t think there’s no hope left, but climate change shows us how we built claims of self-autonomy, equality and compassion on a foundation of fake-it-till-we-make-it, thus on a foundation that is, simply put, not up to the task of our times.
This isn’t global warming this is just …
Deregulated weather
Well, you know… you can’t attribute any one event with certainty.
Only 9 of the last 10 apocalypses were caused by global warming, and we can’t really tell you which ones…
I talked with friends in the midwest after the 3rd consecutive year with worst storms on record. “Yeah okay they’re bad, but there’s not a pattern or anything, it was just a bad storm.” THREE. CONSECUTIVE. YEARS. People for fucks sake maybe, just maybe this stuff is connected?!
There’s no discernable pattern until it affects me. And then it’s a deep-state conspiracy.
most recent interesting news i heard was it being attributed to some fancy “DEI” term.
if anybody can give more clarity on what the fancy term is and how, if even, remotely it is to said disasters, i’d appreciate it a lot.
Theory is that if only white firefighters were hired more, 100mph winds would be trivial conditions to fight fires in.
all these winds would be somehow scared of skin color!
surely not in my 2025 bingo card.
DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion. They are basically saying that the fires are so bad because they hired a bunch of women, black and gay people. If they had only hired MEN ™ to the fire departements, they would have it under control by now!
Thanks for the clarification! Very well explained!
Good thing we kept out BluEMaGa guys!
Lol what happened to the bluemega guy? He was in every political thread until recently. Hmmmm
Ikr, and there was def more than one, suspiciously silent after November lol
Biden is still the president.
A lame duck president with a hostile Congress. For the moment, we have a president and not a king so its not like he can just do what he wants
The Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. United States that the president is above the law: as long as he is performing an “official act” he can not be prosecuted for it.
Congress is only an obstacle because he allows himself to be stopped by it.
Drill babbbyyyyy drill.
Evacuation drill?
IT’S THE LEFT
