1. A 2-panel meme. In the first panel we see Eric Andre shooting Hannibal Buress. Eric is labeled "100 companies" and Hannibal is labeled "The future of life on Earth" In the second panel, Eric says, "Why would everyone individually choose to do this?"

Chis-R 🐟 (chis_r@aus.social)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Nov-2024 17:05:56 JST Chis-R 🐟

Been listening to a podcast about 'Earths Greatest Enemy' which is a documentary about the US military being the world's biggest climate emitter.
https://earthsgreatestenemy.com/
The trailer is good, and should get you fairly fired up.
I had no idea that the military is exempt from government emissions targets. Absolutely ridiculous. Why the hell am I bothering to sort out my damn recycling?
Podcast episode is here: https://www.upstreampodcast.org/conversations (episode from Sept 10 2024)

  Vince McMahon
  
  Vincent Kennedy McMahon (; born August 24, 1945) is an American businessman and former professional wrestling promoter. McMahon, along with his wife Linda, is a co-founder of the modern WWE, the world's largest professional wrestling promotion. Outside of professional wrestling McMahon has occasionally ventured into promoting other sports; his projects have included the World Bodybuilding Federation and the XFL football league. He is the owner of Alpha Entertainment. McMahon graduated from East Carolina University with a degree in business in 1968, and began his tenure in professional wrestling as a commentator for WWE (then called the World Wide Wrestling Federation or WWWF) for most of the 1970s. He bought the company from his father, Vincent J. McMahon, in 1982 and almost monopolized the industry, which previously operated as separate entities across the United States. This led to the development of the annual event WrestleMania, which became one of the world's most successful professional wrestling events. WWE then faced industry competition...

  Linda McMahon
  
  Linda Marie McMahon (née Edwards; born October 4, 1948) is an American political executive, business executive, and retired professional wrestling performer. She served as the 25th administrator of the Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019. McMahon, along with her husband, Vince McMahon, founded sports entertainment company Titan Sports, Inc. (later World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.) where she worked as the president and later CEO from 1980 to 2009. During this time, the company grew from a regional business in the northeast to a large multinational corporation. Among other things, she initiated the company's civic programs, Get R.E.A.L. and SmackDown! Your Vote. She made occasional on-screen performances, most notably in a feud with her husband that culminated at WrestleMania X-Seven. In 2009, McMahon left World Wrestling Entertainment to run for a seat in the United States Senate from Connecticut as a Republican, but lost to Democrat Richard Blumenthal in the 2010 general election. She was the Republican nominee for Connecticut's other Senate seat in the 2012 race, but lost to Democrat Chris Murphy...

Addendum 6 Unfathomable wealth
Elon Musk, $269.3 billion USD net worth 2023-09-11 up $17.9B; #1 in world

https://mastodon.social/@persagen/111049243450567496
If Musk spent $1 million/day:
* $269,000,000,000 / ($1,000,000/day) = 269,000 days
* 269,000 days / (365.25 days/year) = 736.481 years
* 2023 A.D. - 736 = 1287 A.D.

When bad things happen under #socialism, it's always an indictment of the #socialist mode of production. Yet, when bad things occur under #capitalism, no one uses that same logic of thinking to condemn capitalism. Or if they do, they're brainwashed into thinking it's just how things are.

Yes, bad things happened in the #SovietUnion. Nobody denies that and nobody excuses that.
What you have to understand is that the Soviet Union was under constant #imperialist sabotage. Naturally, there were some excesses, just like under #capitalism bad things happen all the time.

  Mitchell Goldhar
  
  Mitchell Goldhar is a Canadian billionaire and businessman. He owned SmartCentres, a firm that developed Walmart-anchored shopping malls in Canada, and retains a significant ownership stake in its successor firm SmartCentres REIT. Since August 2009, he is also the owner of the Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club. Goldhar was born in 1962. He completed his bachelor's degree at York University in Toronto. Goldhar's net worth is estimated at US$2.6 billion as of December 2019. In 2010, Goldhar bought the sweater Paul Henderson wore while scoring the decisive final goal in the Summit Series; it was being auctioned off by an anonymous American collector for US$1,067,538 (a world record for hockey memorabilia). On December 30, 2011, Goldhar issued a libel notice against Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, after they published an article that Goldhar claimed was libel. Haaretz responded by challenging the lawsuit, on the basis of a lack of jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. In 2018 the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the case could not be heard in Canada, and that if Goldar wished to pursue the case further, it must be done in Israel. He is...
