I’ve seen it many times already, as have most people. But I keep opening it and watching it, for hours. Mesmerized. Disgusted. Angry. It’s important to soak these images in, to let them become part of the communal consciousness, and to stir a lethargic public. This disaster is an impetus for drastic change, and the more time you spend watching the earth bleed, the harder you think about why we made ‘em do it. Yeah asshole, you helped. While you call for the blood of CEOs, remember you have electricity, fresh produce from out of state (or country), and probably a car, all of which are fine accoutrements of modern society sustained by that awful shit floating in the gulf right now. Intense demand begets a frantic rush for supply. Fix demand. Start after you open the live feed.
