Now that we're a caliphate; does that mean the US is going to invade us or sell us weapons? I'm confused

The project 2025 people are extremists. They propose a strictly puritanical society with extreme penalties for anybody they disagree with. This is the US under a Trump/Vance Presidency if you don't get out and vote in November.
Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, & David Sacks want Donald Trump to win & forge an unholy alliance with Putin & turn the world into a fascist dystopian hellscape. They don’t care about freedom or democracy. All they want are their tax cuts. Vote Blue to stop these greedy monsters.

America is one fucked up place. That somebody as vile as Trump can team up with somebody just as bad to try and become President again, and half of America doesn't see anything wrong with this, is batshit crazy.

I was going to build some more of my long term base in No Mans Sky tonight, but the new update has got me worried that Sean will break everything and it'll have been a waste of time... so i'm going to wait.

13yo and I are amusing ourselves at breakfast by looking up “raccoon” on google translate and seeing how many languages were like “yup, that’s a bear doing its laundry” - German: Waschbär (washbear) - Danish: vaskebjørn (wash bear) - Bulgarian: миеща мечка (washing machine bear)

OTD: 30 years ago, a series of 21 comet chunks hit #Jupiter, leaving a series of dark scars on the planet’s cloud tops. #Hubble had a “ringside seat,” releasing this photo of some of the impact marks on July 22, 1994: bit.ly/4c5C6Mu 🔭 🧪

One of my favorite things about skunks is that the scientific name for them is Mephitis mephitis mephitis, meaning “stinky stinky stinky”

Long range forecast (next 9 days) shows temps of over 30C, and no rain.... this is going to be tough on the garden.

Biden must win this election, or else we will be in the deepest shit you can possibly imagine. The GOP will dismantle NOAA, abandon the UNFCC, & double down on more coal, oil, & methane extraction. If they succeed it means no future. Starvation & chaos, full stop. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/c...
At the Republican National Convention, Climate Change Isn’t a Problemwww.nytimes.com As the event opens with a focus on energy, former President Trump and other leaders are calling for more oil, gas and coal development.

NMS Internal branch has been updated, so looks like Sean's tweets were about NMS and not LNF. Don't fuck up my base, Sean.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump does not erase the crimes that Trump himself has committed against American democracy, or the crimes he would commit if given the chance, and no one is obligated to pretend otherwise www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Nothing About the Attempted Assassination Redeems Trumpwww.theatlantic.com This crime does not erase what the former president has done, or what he has promised to do.
