Quick aside: I don’t know if this makes things better or worse, but Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson joined her first oral arguments this week in what will in all likelihood result in a stunning and futile gesture to stop he psycho courtmates from taking another vampire-bite out of environmental protections. While it is a wonderful thing that she has a voice on the highest court in the land, it will be a voice in the wilderness for a long, long time given the super stupid (I’m looking at you Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Clowny Barrett), super fascist (that would be you Alito) and supremely gutless (who does that leave…oh yeah, “Chief” Justice Roberts)* majority flagrantly and callously overturning a century of precedent (and millions of years of a planet that is habitable for humans) as they steamroll the Constitution and democracy on their way full-on-fascism in the good old USA.
Those
of you who know me and/or spend any time on these virtual pages will not be
surprised to hear that far above all other concerns for me, and for everyone here
at Paying Attention™, is the environment, and keeping it safe for all our
relatives, especially those who cannot speak for themselves – since they never
did anything to jeopardize their very existence.
I
was driving home the other day and what do I hear on the radio. I hear that the
fucking Supreme(ly fucked up) Court is planning to weaken some more
environmental protections. Because there are six fucked up motherfuckers who
hate the environment and will bend over, roll over, heel and do absolutely
everything to the benefit of rich people and right-wing ranchers, developers,
fossil fuel fetishists and general plunderers who don’t give a flying fuck
about anything but themselves.
If
there is a god, and I am in no way prepared to admit that there might be, I
feel it is safe to say that he, she or it, or they (who am I to assume a
pronoun) thinks that the human race was either a huge mistake or just a bunch
of selfish, mindless, hairless apes who just want to piss all over everything,
future be damned. Clearly this pinnacle of creation did a lousy fucking job of
stewardship. Some of them even twisted the whole concept from taking care and
protecting creation to having dominion, which they then decided meant thoughtless,
selfish, absolute control.
Quicker
aside: If there is a god, I damn sure hope it’s not the one to whom professional
fuckhead Doug Mastriano and abortion financier Herschel Walker are praying to rescue
their disgusting, shameless campaigns for Pennsylvania governor and Georgia
Senator respectively.
Maybe
whoever (if anyone) made us did so to satisfy some self-esteem issues. Maybe
we’re only really here because whoever it was needed someone to run around
screaming about her existence and how great and glorious she is (or was). I’m
going with her for now since it seems pretty foolish to think a man
created everything, but women are the ones who created life from then on.
Doesn’t make any fucking sense.
And guess whose profits went through the roof, increasing by 340% between the first and second quarters of 2022. (Hint: it wasn’t me)
So
much for calming the fuck down.
Freak
out…
I
mean, Peace Out.
