Look, if you're either a Trump supporter or "apolitical" or too much of a selfish asshole to do anything to stop Trump and Trumpism, even in the face of shit like this, do your kids (nieces, nephews, whatever) a favor by going into their rooms and shooting them.
Since you're killing them already, why not end it cleanly, like you would for a dog on the side of the road, even? Don't let them suffer through what you're bringing about, by action or inaction.
Truth hurts, but will set you free.
PS: To any dipshit out there who doesn't know what "satire" is -- and, boy, do they exist, and in direct proportion to how on-target the satire is (ignorance instantly blooms by some massive coincidence, no doubt Jungian) -- um, no, moron(s), I am not literally suggesting that people shoot their children, nieces, and nephews. And Swift didn't actually want the Irish to eat the excess babies, either. As you fucking well know.
You understand now? Oh, goody.

It’s officially summer. Time for a swim, a cold beer, and a new slew of catastrophic climate changes…
- Temperatures in Greenland were 40 degrees above normal in June, causing 2 billion tons of ice to melt away in a single day. That’s the equivalent of 800,000 Olympic swimming pools.
- Scientists observed that the Arctic permafrost has begun to thaw a full 70 years before they expected it to—indicating the climate is warmer than it has been in at least 5,000 years—and potentially unearthing vast quantities of greenhouse gases trapped underground.
- Arctic sea ice coverage neared record lows this spring. Loss of arctic ice threatens plant and animal life, indigenous communities, and leads to extreme weather in other parts of the world.
It’s all alarming. But to officials in the Trump administration, it represents just another golden opportunity to profit. In April, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke to the Arctic Council—that’s the governmental group that gathers countries with territory in the Arctic region and indigenous peoples to cooperate on “issues of sustainable development and environmental protection in the Arctic.” Pompeo didn’t seem concerned about sticking to the council’s formal mission statement; he could barely contain his excitement about the new waterways and resources opening up due to the accelerating sea ice melt.
“The Secretary is looking at this with blinders on,” says Ray Pierrehumbert, Halley Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford and lead author of the IPCC Third Assessment Report. For the latest installment of Say WHAT?—the Bulletin’s video series that casts a wry eye at wrongheaded policy—we watched the Arctic Council speech with Pierrehumbert and captured his reaction to some of Pompeo’s most flabbergasting statements.

The beginning:
European cities are taking exceptional steps to limit the impact of a historic early summer heatwave as temperatures across the continent approached monthly and, in some places, all-time records.
Authorities have warned that temperatures could pass 40C and reach 45C in parts of the continent by Saturday as a plume of hot air moves north from the Sahara, sucked northwards by a stalled storm over the Atlantic and high pressure in central Europe.
In Germany, where the 38.6C recorded on Wednesday in Coschen, near the Polish border, exceeded the country’s previous June high, officials imposed a 120km/h speed limit on stretches of the Saxony-Anhalt autobahn as the road surface began to deteriorate, while rail tracks buckled near Rostock on the Baltic Sea.
