Hey take a look at this trio, its a redesign of Asian American Iron Fist, Colleen Wing, and Misty Knight! What I would give for a show that was about Iron Fist and the Daughters of the Dragon!
Can I just say, from the bottom of my heart, in regards to Dewayne Johnson winning his lawsuit against Monsanto and being awarded $289 million in damages and also lost 11 BILLION in stock value following the jury’s decision and also opened up legal precedent against Monsanto for other people to go after them for damages thanks to exposure to their shit;
FUCKING GOOD, and also my deepest sympathy to Mr. Johnson, who has terminal cancer thanks to their products, but FUCKING GOOD, FUCK YOU MONSANTO, SUCK A THOUSAND HORSE DICKS IN HELL
Consider this my open request to society: destroy them. If you have the money and the misfortune of being able to take these fuckers to court, then destroy them.
They’ve got other similar lawsuits still ongoing against them right now that total $5.5 BILLION in damages sought.
This lawsuit can now be cited by all the others, and I promise it will be.
And gods, but I hope that it ruins them.
For those of you who don’t recognize the name “Monsanto” they produce Roundup, which is a herbicide (weed killer) known for killing weeds but not crops.
Roundup, incidentally, is specifically the chemical that Mr. Johnson was exposed to that contributed to his terminal cancer.
There are about 5,000 more current lawsuits being filed against Monsanto for the same thing. Monsanto claims Roundup is safe, and points to lots of studies done on it…the majority of which, coincidentally, have been conducted by/funded by Monsanto.
One of the main points in the trial was recently unearthed evidence that shows that Monsanto has been actively suppressing studies that show that Roundup is dangerous for decades now.
The men who hid this evidence are, in no small way, complicit in the deaths of these innocent people and should be removed root and branch.
There’s an irony to that. And one we should pursue until they feel the burden of these deaths on their souls and on their daily lives.
Some more info; there’s also evidence that points to Monsanto paying off EPA agents to suppress studies and evidence that show that Roundup is a potent health risk.
Monsanto is, as it has for decades, claiming that glysophate…the active ingredient in Roundup…is safe. Which, as disclosed at this trial, is a lie, and they’ve been suppressing the evidence for years.
BUT, in addition, testing has shown that Roundup contains VERY DANGEROUS levels of heavy metals such as arsenic, chromium, cobalt, and lead, in addition to highly toxic petroleum residues, which Monsanto does not disclose on the labels. They were hidden under ‘other additives’ on the label.
Some of the things arsenic, other heavy metals, and petroleum distillate exposure can cause?
Cancer. Such as that which is killing Mr. Johnson and others.
The studies conducted by Monsanto to claim Roundup was safe were only conducted on glysophate. They actively suppressed studies that found that glysophate could be a health risk, and did not disclose any information about the other dangerous additives…which have been known to be dangerous for decades.
You can hear parts of the autoimmune disease community shrieking in rageful vindication.
Between this and the study coming out of Finland linking exposure to certain pesticides and herbicides as being linked to early onset MS (among other things) I’m about to flip the God damn table.
I think I need to call my dad (a farmer) and my mum ( plagued with endocrine and autoimmune issues)…
Meanwhile, as weeds were becoming adapted to glysophosphate, Monsanto has started selling a new slate of seed engineered to resist a different herbicide called dicamba. Problem is, dicamba is highly volatile, meaning it very quickly evaporates into a toxic cloud if the weather gets too hot. You know, like in summer. When you plant things.
Lawsuits are in motions against Monsanto and BASF, another manufacturer of dicamba, from people who lost entire crops because a neighbor applied dicamba on a hot day. Monsanto, of course, insists that dicamba didn’t kill their cops, and if it did it was because it was applied wrong, and if it was applied according to directions it’s a fluke. Also, if you just bought Monsanto seed you wouldn’t have this problem.
Monsanto has also been going after Dr. Kevin Bradley, an ag professor at the University of Missouri Columbia, who’s been building up research to demonstrate that Monsanto’s dicamba product is excessively volatile under various conditions. Monsanto is a heavy donor to Mizzou (there’s even a Monsanto-branded “life sciences business incubator” here in CoMo) and they apparently called administrators trying to get Bradley fired, or at least threatened.
This is why I support labeling modern GMOs. Not because I think they’re scary inherently, but because Monsanto has a huge chunk of the market and Monsanto is EVIL.
No, no, it isn’t truth. Truth isn’t truth.

This pretty much explains the Trump Presidency in full.
