Well, there aren’t yet swarms of chthonic abominations or interdimensional monstrosities pouring out from it, but I think that technically this should still count.
Pre-cooked shrimp harvest for louisiana, but will it be edible? How many more examples of capitalism destroying the world will it take to radicalize the average USian into toppling some shit?

Can we please put Mitch McConnell in a small boat and tow him there?
Scratch that, the “deal” he made to get success probably makes him immune to fire.

NitricAcid @9: “Are they spraying water on the burning ocean?”
I noticed that, too. I didn’t click on the link in the OP, but in the clip that I saw on TV, the water wasn’t being sprayed into the fire itself. At first, I thought that maybe they were trying to create enough of a current at the surface to keep the fire away from what looked like a former drilling rig; but then I noticed that, if that was the goal, they seemed to be pushing in the wrong direction.

I, too, have no clue what they were doing.
