GLP1s are saving airlines more than getting rid of inflight literature or that one olive in the salad

BREAKING: NYC Mayor Mamdani signs new law that says you don't have to go to work if your pet is asleep on you or just being extra cute.

Here’s what the air conditioning discourse illuminates: to deal with climate change we need to electrify & we need zero carbon electricity, we also need more electricity- like double or triple what we have. And we need more cooling & cooling equity. There will be folks fighting against all of that.

There must be tens of people there.

France reports 109 deaths in Paris’ last 24h alone, due to extreme heat. In case you’re still, somehow, doubtful of the human extinction catastrophe, hospitals are overflowing, young people die of hyperthermia, the country is lacking in available morgues and funeral homes are booked to the brim.

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

yes it can

Technically, they’re Remains now.

This isn’t actually funny but I keep cackling to myself when people say we should pursue AI because it will tell us how to solve climate change. Like, we *know* how, we’re just not. ::burns so much fossil fuel to ask:: hey AI, what do? AI: “stop burning fossil fuel”

Originally an Australian invention -- Ian Frazer and Jian Zhou at UQ -- though you'd never guess from global reporting.

Folks, I have friends and family who have been personally affected by prostate cancer. Help fund new prostate cancer research to save lives. This Men’s Health Week, walk for zero deaths from prostate cancer. Get involved now. www.walkforhim.org.au/s/6826/7472/t

It’s staggering to me that corporate won’t give employees a CC for so much as a hot meal or a box of paperclips but, like drunken sailors on a spree, allow their AI to use unrestricted credit cards

Anyways, Twinnings says they have stopped making Russian Caravan as Darjeeling is now too expensive to make it viable. We’ll be seeing more and more of this as climate realities start to bite harder on our food bowls - which is obviously wayyy more important than losing my favourite tea

We need a new category of “I cannot now, nor will I ever be, able to afford whatever this is”

Google has turned Fitbit app into Google Health and enshitified it. Now the scale will only tell me my weight, not lean mass and fat composition.

Trump institutes UBI for insurrectionists

As we write in the book, we need less focus on adults who scream "I've lived in the city for the last 50 years and don't need bike lanes" and more focus on kids who say "I am going to live in the city for the *next* 50 years and want to be able to get around safely."

A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

@albomp.bsky.social how about it? Can’t let these peanuts destroy our country for profits

every time I am sad about my career, I remember I have done amazing things and a layoff does not change any of them

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

Great, thanks. Found the link

Absolute S tier communication from the NYC mayor continues. Few politicians have done a better job of so quickly showing what good government can be capable of. I hope it continues and inspires those in other cities.

When Madge is the voice of sanity, you’re in trouble.

This is absolutely fantastic. ht: @maddenifico.bsky.social

Same energy

Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton. His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs. They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

To be clear with how I feel about it. Anyone in the military who directs or carries out strikes on desalination plants should be in prison when this is over.

Breaking: It’s revealed SA One Nation candidate AOI Baxter has a warrant out for his arrest in the UK for failing to attend court after being charged with sexual assault. Where does One Nation find these predators? 🙄 #auspol

The wrong guy died today.

Reminds me of this minimalist take of states as constellations of their major cities, which I adore

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

Sure it's ugly but what a dumb move from Honda, pivoting AWAY from EVs at a time like this www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new...

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Maybe some genius should figure out how AI is going to get them out of this mess of their own making www.news.com.au/world/middle...

Hmmmm, smells like Suez

For about $2.5 billion a day, we could provide a $500 per month UBI to every American — adults and kids. Poverty would be reduced by 65%. Child poverty would drop by over 80%. Extreme poverty would be essentially eliminated. Inequality would drop by about 20%. We can do/be so much better than this.
