  • I thought peanut the squirrel was political from the getgo. Granted the first I heard of his killing was from alt right pro cop propaganda (ironically) I did hear his owner was also vocally alt right and dressed the squirrel in some costumes that supported some of his views. I could be wrong, do correct me if so

    edit: I was wrong. alt right was unrelated, unless the lady that called was actually mad the owner said “Trans Rights” and kiwifarmsed the squirrel














  • aside from the obvious “rich people exploiting the environment with their hippy party that costs $200 for their cheapest tickets,” I saw a video online that brought up a good point that I never considered. The cost of lumber has increased exponentially in the past 3 years alone, jumping to nearly $1700 per 1000 feet at its peak in 2021, but staying between $400 and $600 per 1000 feet in recent months (still high compared to say 10 years ago.) And these people are buying tens of thousands of feet of lumber solely to burn it away in the middle of nowhere where there’s little vegetation to absorb the excess CO2 waste. That, along with the climate change protesters being police brutalized just before the event, really puts a sour taste in people’s mouths. Especially in a time where “once in a lifetime” weather events seem to be back-to-back.
