A job: the system where you sell most of your life just to afford staying alive. Not slavery, but when food, shelter, and healthcare require obedience to a paycheck, freedom starts looking like branding. And losing an hour today sure doesn’t make it easier to endure. #timechange

Vanuatu moves forward with UN climate resolution despite Trump opposition Pacific island says the US weakened its proposal to advance a key climate ruling but vows to hold major polluters accountable

Vanuatu faces rising seas that could erase it from the map. It asked the UN to hold major polluters accountable for climate damage. Trump’s U.S. response? Obstruct and pressure weaker nations to protect fossil fuel profits. Bullying a drowning country. 😤

The EPA is being sued for illegally gutting core climate protections. Lee Zeldin’s agency is trying to scrap the “endangerment finding” — the legal basis for regulating greenhouse pollution under the Clean Air Act. Polluters cheer. Everyone else gets the #climatecrisis.

Nothing says progress like collective exhaustion.

Wait til 50, and those thoughts shift harder into comfort needs like:

“Do they have a normal menu?”
“Is there a chair?”
“I’m stretching before I stand up.”

“No, I’m not going out tonight.”
“That sounds loud.”
“Let’s eat at 5:15 so we beat the crowd.”

Yesterday, the White House used Call of Duty frames in their Iran war hype video.

They are hyping the prospect of war like an exciting video game.

Woot woot! 🎉
