Oh. Man. Come on, America. And now that I probably have enough words in these first few sentences that I've moved beyond the little blurb that might pop up in the few feeds this blog is in...y'know, so I don't shock with my language or anything...holy shit, what is going on?!
I kind of can't believe that my enjoyment of the intentionally ridiculous schemes employed by the international terrorist organization known as Cobra must now be tempered by the fact that Americans are being manipulated into believing that actual Cobra tactics are being used on us by...our own government, I guess...? Coastal elites? Scientists? Just a bunch of Democrats? Who tf knows.
Anyway, if you don't know what I'm rambling about...I guess there are evil folks controlling the weather. And they sent those recent hurricanes to us...causing legitimate disasters...in order to target conservative voters. And mine lithium. Or...something else evil. I'd say you can't make this stuff up, but apparently you really can, and it might just become the batshitcrazy antics of a cartoon weapons dealer who wears a metal mask, or it could become a real belief of the American public. One or the other, because why not?

So yeah, scientists and relief workers are getting threats for doing their jobs. Meanwhile, misinformation and pointless shit-stirring have a real impact on people's lives in a world where all guns don't shoot red and blue lasers, and everyone doesn't get to eject right before their plane explodes.
Maybe I should just be happy that I've always been more of a Joe comics guy than a Joe cartoon guy.

Anyway, if you happen to see this and would like to send any financial help to those affected by the recent US weather disasters...and believe me, I understand that there are really effed up things all over the world, amongst which you must divide your shareable money...here are some orgs that we feel good about supporting. (Please note that this list is very much focused on western North Carolina and includes some organizations focused on nonhuman animals, because that's where Laura and I used to live -- and have friends who have been greatly impacted -- and because we're crazy animal people. However, help is still needed in Florida -- and probably elsewhere -- as well, and I simply believe all beings are worth helping in these situations. So, please don't hate.)

Hrm. Now because I'm still a nerd, here's the real designer of the Weather Dominator...
