Anyone for random non-sex (but occasionally sex) chat on the thread here?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe one of the original purposes of this thread was to discuss things like politics, art, music, philosophy, things like that?
Consider this the intersection of all of the above. I could watch this all day long and never tire of it.
Yes, I read the article on this in yesterday’s WaPo online and clicked the YouTube link to the video. What struck me first is how commanding her voice was, and how her vocal instrument was strong and projecting. Then I realized that she was 💯 in, speaking for her people in her voice and theirs. It was fucking inspirational.

Mr. Potato Head with the gavel with the eye roll? Bless his heart.

Imagine if the United States had more provisions and inclusiveness for the indigenous peoples who’s land was taken by European invaders who then procured slaves as a bedrock of supremacy to build the world’s greatest democracy.

Absolutely. It’s lauded as some great accomplishment every time an indigenous person is elected to office, or people gain some minor concession, while in reality they’ve suffered centuries of injustice
Perhaps progress on climate change, and therefore nature and those who live closest to it might improve that, but now, with the incoming administration, that may all be reversed too…

We will see many reversal of policies. There’s little doubt of that. The brain drain will see the best and brightest leave government service with heads held high and pinched noses of the stench to come.
I live here. It’s for real.

Yeah, same. And true ☹️ And I don’t think it’s gonna be a brain drain as it was when he last took office, he’s just gonna remove anyone who’s not fanatical about his policies. And the environment can’t take four years of reversal… ☹️

There’s little to stand between these eventual outcomes. It’s dark, but the American people spoke through their vote. The outcome is disheartening to me personally as a liberal Dem, b

The environment will lose “bigly”. Accords will be reversed and business friendly accommodations made to circumvent nature in favor of relics such as coal and fracking for natural gas.

It is going to be a challenging 4 years ahead of us.

I think it’s feasible that there could be ways that disaster could be averted
Industry, manufacturers etc have been incentivized for a while to go green, and much of the rest of the world is committed to change
Companies may decide they don’t want to just flip back and forth, and realize that the future is still in being as green as possible, including to compete with Europe and China
Plus - as malign a presence as he is, Musk is pro-evs, so it’s possible that could maybe lead to less worrying policies than feared
But everything else is fucked for the foreseeable
