TEXAS (The Borowitz Report)—What is being called a “troubling variant of stupidity” has been identified in Texas, Dr. Anthony Fauci has confirmed.
Although the powerful variant of stupidity is not new, it has recently displayed alarming virulence, the esteemed physician said.
“What’s concerning about this variant is that it appears to have developed immunity to all information,” Fauci said. “Of the many mutations of stupidity found in Texas, this one stands out.”
The immunologist urged that steps be taken to prevent this variant of stupidity from spreading. “We know that it has travelled as far as Cancun,” Fauci said.

It’s genome contains introns, exons and morons.

Sister was in the mountains the day of the Estes Park flood. Of course this was pre cell phone, so it was a day or two before we heard from her. Scary shit.

That’s where we were headed actually, Estes Park. I remember seeing where there had been a huge pile of boulders washed down but don’t remember the details. Did a lot of fishing around the area while there. Went down to Estes 3-4 times before the unfortunate border incident lol.

Love Estes, weird tourist traps and weird towns built around them are my jam. The Wisconsin Dells are a pinnacle of perfection all other weird towns should strive for. Greatest place on earth IMHO. Estes doesn't have many weird attractions, just you know...natural splendor and beauty pfffft, but it has enough to qualify and is a fantastic time.

High ground/low ground, it doesn't matter, we'll all be 6' undergound due to starvation/droughts/floods/extreme heat/cold and disease caused by climate change, by 2070.
Carbon free in 29 years?
Tell that to India & China.
Should have done something 20 years ago & listened to Al Gore & now it's too fucking late.to stop it & with just the amout of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere right now, today, is enough to fuck us & that shit ain't going away unless we can suck it into outer space.

Anyway, this is the Happy Thread, right?
Let me see if this balances out my above comment

I love these guys :)

Yea, I also feel sorry for them.
We fucked them over, big time.
Personally, I don't want to get old & end up a decrepit/deranged vegetable.
I've worked in enough nursing homes to know I ain't going there.
Playing bingo & Scrabble & probably shitting on myself.
No fucking way I intend to end up like those creatures that look like extras on Day of the Dead
My intent is to pull a Thelma & Louise on my 75th Birthday.
Get a bottle of 25 year old Jameson & find a canyon & scream "Fuck it all, what a waste of time" all the way down

:I mean it, some looked worse than these

You mean we can't just go on like this forever? The stock market rises over time. Maybe the machine that caused the problems will fix them. Maybe humans have evolved their conscious and we will behave differently in the future. Maybe we're not as important and smart as we think we are.
There have been bigwig climate meetings for years all pledging restrictions. But we have a net gain of CO2 since they started. So, there's that. It doesn't matter. That is just 1 of the problems that are cascading through each other. Yep, the entire cycle is corrupted. Poisoned the air, poisoned the sea, poisoned the earth. The answer is to colonize a hostile environment? Ok. I bet that will go down worse than Jamestown.
The real question is how long before everyone loses their shit and figures out that we have been living in a dream and quit playing the game? And what will that look like? Exciting times to be alive in.
I have a dark view. It's because I'm actually looking.

Go karts and mini golf man, makes my day. They have all those crappy souvenir shops selling the same stuff as well. There were a few other goofy things I found.
