    If you don’t love Earth, I’ll help you pack.

    Seriously. Get the fuck off my “backwater planet” and let us live in relative peace for a change.

      This week I saw a hooded warbler (ira bird) and an indigo bunting, a bird so beautifully blue it actually made me tear up. I’m not in some sort of pristine protected rainforest, I’m literally in a mid-sized American city. We’re so unbelievably lucky to live on such an incredible planet.

      These motherfuckers can go enjoy their barren hellscapes - to quote Chris Packham about space - “it’s just gas”. Freeloading libertarians are more than welcome to go and die by themselves.

      Honestly. Let’s make this a federal program. We’ll send billionaires on one-way trips to colonize Mars. And we’ll just keep doing it. We’ll just keep throwing billionaires at Mars until we actually get a functioning Mars colony, or we run out of billionaires. I would be fine with either outcome.
