Limits to growth and life / Peak oil
Last post by RE - Feb 20, 2026, 04:24 PMWhat about Mother Russia? How come the FSoA and China get to divide up the world without the Ruskies getting a piece? Doesn't Vlad deserve a little respect here? Is he the Rodney Dangerfield of the New World Order?

The Suicidal Folly of a War with Iran
Trump’s appalling ignorance of world affairs and megalomania, seem set to push the U.S. into yet another debacle in the Middle East, one the Congress has not approved, and the public does not want.

Shell Names the Risks and Discounts Them to Zero
Shell describes the world we live in, models a different one, and doesn’t seem to give two fucks about the mismatch.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and "Love" The Collapse
On becoming an electrician, and more...
Totally awesome, I just snagged Surly's article offerings for the day. I add them but I do not add them from a diner post. I add the articles here with a custom tool. then I used the 'Get Article' dropdown to generate a trackback. This lets me comment on the article. It took five clicks. Any Diner member can add a trackback from an existing Doomscroll article. Adding new articles requires privileges. Adding a trackback to an existing article does not.
So about the article. Jessica wonders what can top the endless intensification of daily madness that dominates our news as a new normal.
Well,
I was in a bohemian phase a long time ago, In my 20's and working in a full service gas station for money. I smoked weed every day. I was perpetually stoned. I maintain well when wrecked, I have a high tolerance. It does wipe me out as it does most other people. I can function. My brain has horsepower to spare.
Anyway the inevitable happened and the supply ran dry. I had to face a day being normal. Since I had been stoned for a month straight I found the experience novel. Very novel. Like getting stoned in reverse.
So.
QuoteNot because the stock market crashed. Not because I watched another video predicting the collapse of our food system. Not because more articles predicted 2-3C of global warming by the 2050s or sooner. Not because meteorologists and climate scientists have said we're heading into an El Nino that will shatter yet more global temperature records, overheat the oceans, roast our cities, and unleash powerful storms across the planet.
When a day without catastrophe comes our way, it will be a very novel day.
Trackbacks are cool, as was Jessica's point after her quandry. If you read something on the scroll you can make a trackback and comment on it here.

When the boom hits the wall: A commercial reality check on fossil expansion
An integrated analysis of the UN Production Gap Report 2025 through the lens of reserve economics, capital allocation risk, and system dynamics
Fossil fuels are entering a geological and financial "Red Queen" race. More capital to extract less net energy from ever lower quality rock. A crash is inevitable.

I am testing the 'Get Article' dropdown. On the doomscroll. I found an old article and I copied the title using the 'Copy Title' dropdown there. With the title on the clipboard I came here and used the 'Get Article' dropdown, and the trackback was created to this location with the article card visible here.

‘I’m a U.S. Citizen and I was arrested by ICE,’ A Statement from a Legal Observer in Minneapolis
Upwards of 206 U.S. citizens have been hauled off the streets into vehicles by masked federal agents conducting Operation Metro Surge over the past three months in Minnesota, according to legal sources. Many of those citizens, or USCs, have been beaten, had their constitutional rights violated and were brought to the Whipple Federal Building, with some later brought to Sherburne County Jail.
They should file a Class Action lawsuit against Trumpolini for violating their civil rights and ask $100B in damages.
