A specific pod of them was attacking yachts in the north Atlantic and training others to do the same last summer IIRC
Heroes. How do I support their work?
Never stop believing
You could read "Orca's Song" by David Zindell. He covers this from the Orca's perspective!
No I don't mean like awareness bullshit. I like their work and would like to do things that enable them to continue/expand. These are real (cetacean) people doing real work.

They're not attacking billionaire yachts though, instead it's small sailing boats. Some of those are probably owned by fairly rich people, but probably not that rich.

What's up with the guy on the right? I don't know who that is.
Luigi Mangione. I don't know why he's there, this guy did nothing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Right! All he did was enjoy a meal, a succulent McDonalds meal.
Then some cops showed up, and he yelled "THIS MAN TOUCHED MY PENIS!"
GENTLEMAN!
Truly DEMOCRACY MANIFEST!

Some guy I saw in Hawaii on 2024-12-04
That is our lord and saviour Luigi, looking ripped.
I'm jealous. Not because he's ripped (which is cool too) but because he can walk around without a shirt and not having a bazillion mosquitos harvesting his blood.

Luigi didn't do anything though.
And that poor sub tried its best.
The live cam did nothing wrong. Its an objective observer.
The Orcas are simply accepting our terms of war.

Moreover, the acoustic failure detection sensors seemed to have worked, but the process failed since they didn't know what to look for since they didn't do any testing.

Seriously, we have multiple economists saying the only way out of this fine mess (and to save the world) is to massively redistribute the wealth at the top to the rest of the population.
I'm an economist (I have a degree and everything. It's in underwater basket weaving but it's still a degree) and I say this. My cool brother has a degree in linguistics and yells at people that he has a degree in economics and says the same thing too
To be fair, when I took Economics 101: Macroeconomics in 1985, there was a big point about how important it was to maintain a fairly even wealth distribution, with a discussion of how it is a very bad thing™ for all the wealth to consolidate at the top. (In the meantime, Reagan was gutting all the policies that were used to keep wealth distributed and preserve a strong middle class.) So this is something that anyone who took a basic college course should know.
In time, I got confused that presidents and legislators kept pushing supply side (trickle-down) economics and kept passing laws that allowed the upper class to keep more of their money, while leaving the lower and middle classes to languish, when I was certain these officials were educated (or had experts who were) and should know better. Then I worked out that they are just captured and corrupt AF.

Yeah, as someone studying economics, I agree
Having a small group of people hoarding the money is bad actually
Times are bad. More sacrifices are needed.
This looks like something I've seen before, but I'm at a Loss
What’s with the orcas?
they flipped a yacht
Several, but more. Importantly, they developed a "game" where teenage teach other teenage Orcas they can sink them. Is about their solidarity against these money pits.

It’s a really hot summer, does that mean it might be one of the big CEOs?
I prefer my billionaires to be sacrificed to The One Who Stirs Under the Mountain. We must keep the The One Who Stirs Under the Mountain content.
Luigi was in Nov/Dec though
4 December 2024. I remember because right after reading about it, I took my wife to her chemo appointment that had been repeatedly pushed back due to health insurance fuckery.
It's always summer somewhere
