Mist, Principles, Sense – get some

Here’s a radically interesting thing – in the Atacama Desert of Chile, the driest non-polar desert on Earth, people are growing vegetables and fruit with water milked from the air.

Amid barren rocky hills and dry, white sand, the system works by using a mesh suspended between two poles that intercepts the small amount of moisture in the air, turning it into droplets that are collected and stored in water tanks.

"We are able to collect 1,000 to 1,400 liters of water in these inhospitable places, where we are clearly not favored by nature in other ways," said Rojas in a region where lemon trees were also growing from the collected water.

"We have the potential for life, which is this water resource. Once we learned about this project, we haven't stopped because it is vital for human subsistence.”

The Atacama Desert is so dry it makes Steven Wright’s comedy seem like a mash-up of Richard Pryor and Robin Williams. Atacama looks so dead that scientists are studying it in the hope of finding secrets to life on other seemingly lifeless planets, like, fer instance, Mars

That’s wicked cool and all but, hows ‘bout we use this wild science shit here first. Ya know, fix this joint up before we hare off to the Red Planet.

As you probably, undoubtedly already know, Slava Ukraini means Glory to Ukraine. I just learned there’s a reply – it’s Heroiam slava and means Glory to the heroes.

So the full phrase, the call and response is "Slava Ukraini! Heroiam slava!"

HEY, did you know? Woody Allen is still alive AND he’s headlining Moscow’s International Film Week festival.

Egocentrically clueless and tone deaf as always, he says:

“When it comes to the conflict in Ukraine, I believe strongly that Vladimir Putin is totally in the wrong. The war he has caused is appalling. But, whatever politicians have done, I don’t feel cutting off artistic conversations is ever a good way to help.” (source
Yes, yezzz…lovely, except for the part where participating in the festival shows support for a murderous regime currently bombing the shit out of an independent country, stealing that country's land, slaughtering its citizens, and raping its countryside. 

Would Allen headline an Israeli film festival as Netanyahu and his criminal government commit genocide in Gaza?

Would he headline a festival at Pedo Prez’s Kennedy Center (soon to be renamed the Trump Center, I'm sure) while his Gestapo creeps round up innocent brown skinned people, beating, imprisoning and otherwise abusing them? OF COURSE he would.

Woody Allen doesn’t give a shit about principles, justice or standing side by side with the oppressed. He was quoting Emily Dickinson when he defended his incestuous relationship with his step-daughter Soon-Yi Previn by saying, “the heart wants what it wants.” 

Allen wants what he wants and everyone and everything else is immaterial.

Following up on Kiandria Demone’s explanation, here is Brandon Frankel’s definition of woke:
Being “woke” means you have common sense and aren’t a piece of shit.
Simple and easy to remember, no?

Another bit of fact sharing from Frankel:
Just FYI - despite Cankle McYamTits signing an executive order saying you can’t burn the American flag- you absolutely CAN. It’s protected per the FIRST AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION, and there was a court case that ruled it so in TEXAS V JOHNSON.

So yeah…I know, he hates the Constitution, but it’s protected free speech. Sorry, bitch.
Yup. 

I realize our horrors won’t be over once the deranged orange hellbeast croaks but MAYBE the constant parade of banjaxed brained bullshit bozos will slow up a bit.
