They ran out of priceless art, I guess. Too bad, I was hoping they'd ruin something else for generations to come. Maybe next time they can knee-cap Hank Green. That'll really show those nasty capitalists.

Way to solve one of the most pressing issues of our day. Just great work, man. The planet really isn't that important when compared to some 17th century art. That's where we really need to focus our preservation and conservation efforts!
That's where we're going to focus the problem solving, when that's how you choose to stir shit up. We're going to focus on preventing climate activists from destroying shit, and we're going to talk about how to punish them.

Yes exactly! The judiciary is infallible and so that's exactly why the SCOTUS is the least fallible institution there is.
At least offer me a drink before, geez
Ayyyy gimme dem tweezers and let's make this happen.
