Gaylord Nelson speaking before the first Earth Day
April 23, 2025
Yesterday was the 55th anniversary of Earth Day, which was brought forth on this continent in 1970 by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson.* Earth Day, which began as a teach-in about environmental issues, ushered in a new wave of environmental activism. Since that time some people have observed this day in their own way. Many people will tell you that every day is Earth Day. There is never a day to ignore the gifts this planet bestows upon each and every one of us every minute of every day, whether we acknowledge, appreciate and/or celebrate this once a year or every day.
Environmental activist/hero Greta Thunberg
Unfortunately, in
more recent times there has been an all-too-equal and ignorantly opposite
reaction to caring for the environment, ranting under the banner of climate
crisis denial, featuring an unwavering aversion to science and all meaningful cortical
brain activity in general.
In yesterday’s
post we mentioned the “flat Earthers”. They are out there, and they are out
there. Even Christopher Fucking Columbus knew the Earth was round. Not like a
pizza, which although round and quite flat, is still one the Creator’s
miracles. The Earth is more like a bowling ball, as are the contents of the
heads of these anti-Earthers.
Today we have not only flat Earthers, but there are now what we are calling anti-Earthers. You know who they are. They are Trump and every fucking dimwitted shithead in his administration.
They are MAGAts – if not 100% of them, then too fucking
close for comfort. These treacherous cretins act like the Earth is a hoax, a plaything,
a disposable commodity.
Even if there was, fuck off anti-Earthers
Humans
have intentionally or otherwise attempted to set themselves apart from the Earth.
We like to think that we make things out of nothing. Everything we have is only
so because we have borrowed the components from the Earth. We are living off of
borrowed things and on borrowed time.
One of
the worst single humans the Earth has ever had the bad fortune to belch forth
is the aforementioned Donald Just-Trash-It-All Trump. This king of the
anti-Earthers is determined to do everything possible to make our planet as
uninhabitable as possible as quickly as possible. Because.
And exactly how has
Trump gone about slashing and burning our planet? Let me count the ways. Actually,
let me not count the ways; it would not be good for anyone’s health. Just take
my word for it. And do what you can to make it stop before it’s too, too late. It’s
already too late.
*Naturally, Nelson is banned from all current government sources because of his association with pro-environment issues and because his name has the word ‘gay’ in it.
This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought
For Yesterday.
