    nuh uh I’ve seen this cartoon movie. Where’s the lamb that I have to sacrifice and then put the blood on my door? Does it have to be locally sourced?

      Gat Dammnit!!!! Where were you after the eclipse!?!?!? I had 30 gallons of virgin mountain goat blood that I used to quench the Harbinger of R’yleh at the end of forging and no use for it afterwards! Now it’s just confusing the hell out of my annoying neighbors.

    Oh please these disasters have nothing to do with people... unless they happen after something “oppresses” Straight White people and then it’s all down to human decisions.

    Usually gay marriage.

      No silly, these disasters are because of gay marriage.

      Never mind that Annise Parker hasn’t been mayor for almost two years...sometimes god’s got a lot on his plate and things like revenge hurricanes get pushed back.

    Yo, this is why The Happening was such a great movie. I know it was universally panned by critics and audiences alike, but if you look at as a campy satire on climate change and allow yourself to just watch it and laugh in the face of impending doom because that’s all there is left to do, it’s amazing.

    Until humans realize that we are a very young species on a very small planet in an incomprehensibly large and ancient universe we will lack the humility and self awareness that just might help us survive.

      People don’t respect nature enough. I love the water, especially the ocean, but it can kill you. I used to work with a guy who is an avid outdoorsman and he would work himself up into a fury if anybody started talking about that movie where the guy got pinned by a rock & had to cut off his arm, or “Into the Wild.” People who go off with no experience thinking they can beat nature drove him crazy.

    I know there’s some snark I need to respond to, but I’m just relieved I finally heard from one of my friends in Mexico a few minutes ago. He and his family got through the earthquake okay and are getting ready to evacuate north to avoid Katia. Because they’re having a great week.

    Also, as a former Geologist/Paleontologist? Eh - Earth gonna Earth. I mean, we’re doing some markedly stupid shit to fuck up the delicately balanced environment that lets us live on it and it should be impossible to ignore that people without money or status deeply pay the price for that. Yet, we never learn as a species, or get beyond immediate self-interest. I figure we’ll leave behind some interesting fossils and stratigraphy for a future intelligent tool-building life form to study.

    Just wait till the wildfires in the Northwest meet the flooding from the Southeast for a live pay-per-view battle in Nebraska.

      these fires in the PNW are no joke. last few days it’s looked like a goddamn apocalypse outside - the sun is dim and blood red in the morning and the evening.

      i’m just assuming it’s to help us prepare for the end times which are surely coming, thanks to Cheetolini.

    Don’t forget about the Mosquito Plague that is currently besieging Houston - not just Zika mosquitoes, but quantities of “flood mosquitoes” (eggs that only hatch after a flood) like they’ve never seen before:

    Also, there are the massive swarms of stinkbugs and other unidentifiable biting bugs plaguing Burning Man attendees last week (though I think Mother Nature needs props, not criticism for that one).

    Y’all may not hear from my haphazard crazy ass it Irma hits...or Jose...or Katia.

    Mother Nature (Mama ‘Ne) is like “Fuck yo Couch” all over the world. There is so much fright anyone can handle. We are so tired and weary from nature revolting and someone can only handle so much.

    They say the Earth is self-cleansing. Seems like Mother Nature is currently in the midst of one hell of a high colonic.

    Donald Trump is the Anti-Christ and these are the End Times. He has stolen Gods flock by becoming the “savior” of Christianity protecting them from the liberal agenda, it should be obvious to true people of faith his lies but the weak faithed treat him as practically Gods chosen emissary on Earth. Those who who wish to do business in Washington now must earn his favor or mark (of the beast) if they wish to get anything done. The natural disasters are tests of faith, those praising the false lord Trump for doing nothing are making their bed with the devil. Global Warming is ultimately result in the Lake of Fire that the earth will be cast into after the faithful have been lifted up into heaven.
