Words fail. Words fail. A new paper from University of Exeter just found that coral reefs have hit their tipping point - the precipice from which there may be no return. This is a calamity. This is a disaster. This is code red for humanity. (1/11) 🧵

For years now, I've said our official health policy would eventually look like "The Secret," a book that literally advises everyone to wish away illness and abandon their friends who "don't want to get better." We're pretty much there.

It's Bearly Thursday and we're still waiting for the EPSTEIN FILES

Dam removal headlines read like resurrection stories. But ecosystems don’t reboot — they reorganize. The “new” salmon in the Klamath were just spawning elsewhere. The bounce in numbers is redistribution, not recovery. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2025/10/18/k...

In just a few decades humans have dragged us to a place where C02 levels are now similar to what they were in Pliocene period 3 million years ago where sea levels were up to 25-30 meters higher than today We are locked into this climate now Earth has yet to fully reflect this

When people talk about this 3.5% rule, remember that dictator regimes have fallen for much less. However, for the No Kings protect on Saturday, reaching 8.2 million (2.4%), is not what's most important. Look at Minneapolis and Washing DC: 29.41% and 25.81% This is CRUSHING numbers. #resist

Mum startled me whiskers! #whiskerswednesday

WOW. A third of ICE recruits can’t pass a fitness test that I do multiple times a week, and I’m a 51 year old woke cat lady with a nose ring who loves a soy latte.

France is setting a powerful example by requiring supermarkets to donate unsold food to those in need. By sharing surplus groceries, they help fight hunger while preventing billions of pounds of food waste every year. Kindness over waste—what a difference it makes! 🍅🤝

Spotify says the ICE recruitment ads that have been running on their platform don't violate company policy

1,000 Swiss glaciers already gone, and the melting is speeding up www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.

San Diego!

When you've been burned too many times...

If a fascist takes over your government then overthrow him, if a fascist invades your country then destroy him, if a fascist exists it is your duty to defeat him. There are no negotiations with fascists.

There's more going on than meets the eye. An artificial intelligence tried to escape its secure environment, lied to researchers and attempted to copy itself to outside servers. Is sentience so far away ? And when we get there, what's next ? techcrunch.com/2024/12/05/o...

If you've ever thought there needs to be a chronicle of how we got here with the collapse of public health and an unflinching account of who's responsible, here it is 100x. Not just RFK Jr., but everyone who enabled those like him.

Really? They don't get it? Well, of course they don't. These are the same people who bought private jets and mansions for Joel Osteen, Rhonda Byrne, Dave Ramsey, and all the other grifters. It's what they do.

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Cancel SPOTIFY. They are running ICE ads. F them. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

Have you heard of tactical frivolity? It’s one of my favorite forms of protest. Tactical frivolity is what happens when you use humor, costumes, and joy to make power look ridiculous. 🪩🐔🐸 🧵 1/x

The world doesn’t need more noise. It needs us to stop — to notice, to listen. #ListenToTheEarth — you might hear yourself. 🌿 A small thread on people who do exactly that — each in their own way. #ListenToTheEarth #QuietResilience #IrishGardens

A severe strain of mpox has started spreading in California. I seem to remember being told to stop fearmongering about this because it would never happen. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/h...

A bull tried to save his own life and was gunned down for it. He broke free from a haulier’s truck, bolted through the conveniently open gates of the Isle of Man’s abattoir, and ran for half an hour through a town, past houses and even a school.

Adaptability keeps species alive….until there’s nowhere left to adapt to. Desert lions turned to the sea to survive, but as oceans empty, that refuge will fade. Flexibility means nothing without biodiversity. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

There is no single way to resist; only the courage to invent one. 👍

I’m sure this is fine. abcnews.go.com/US/dominion-...

Gotta be honest. I used to love social media. It was a place to go and connect, to learn, to express, even if it was about unpleasant stuff. Now, it very much feels like that's gone. I have an aversion to social media now. www.the-sentinel-intelligence.net/the-death-of...

Iran faces “water bankruptcy”—wells collapsing, rivers dying, over 10,000 villages without drinking water. A preview of what happens when economies run on the illusion of an infinite planet. time.com/7321571/iran...

Abbott sent his Elite National Guard unit to Chicago. Be afraid Deep Dish Pizza, be very afraid.

EU Parliament pushes for ‘veggie burger’ ban Unbelievable we are in a climate crisis where meat production is a huge driver of carbon emissions and deforestation And instead of promoting meat alternatives - they are trying to ban them www.euractiv.com/news/parliam...

***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming on December 9th on #4K in the US from #SonyPictures: #Awakenings (1990)! By opening one man’s eyes to the world… he opened his own. Robert De Niro (in an Oscar®-nominated performance for Best Actor) and Robin Williams star in this powerful, true story of a maverick

Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

Trump is following almost to the letter Hitlers path to power. Sending the SS into Democratic neighborhoods to start violence and then blaming it on Democrats is classic Weimar Republic Germany. Now he wants to start jailing opposition leaders. news.yahoo.com/articles/tru...

Humanity constantly creates environmental quick-fixes with no thought or regard for their future ramifications. The possibility exists that one of these cherished solutions will be our swan song.

Strangling rats to “study” domestic violence? That’s not science. That’s Institutional violence 🐀

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

EU will not ban Octopus farming or even give them any welfare protection as they are an invertebrate species, Octopuses are sentient capable of experiencing pain and distress. Farming lead to aggression, injury, and cannibalism among individuals. www.worldanimalprotection.org/latest/news/...

Oregon just passed laws to protect beavers — but only because they “benefit humans.” As soon as they start doing beaver things that benefit beavers, they’re killed. We will never see ourselves as part of nature. #RacingToExtinction www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Nearly 400 marine mammals have washed up sick or dead on California’s Central Coast since June. Leptospirosis, toxic algal blooms, food collapse. The ocean itself is becoming uninhabitable for the life it holds — and most deaths go unseen. #RacingToExtinction apple.news/AcjTotwG6SyC...

Teenagers are hyper-attuned to belonging. Step too far outside the group, and you risk ridicule or exclusion. Saying “meat is wrong” in that context feels like social suicide. So many default to parroting whatever line the majority uses.

George Carlin would never have taken blood money to perform comedy for a Saudi Arabian tyrant.
