Why do we keep using worse technology even if there are much better alternatives on offer? Love this new video from @chrisjardineenergy.bsky.social @ecioxford.bsky.social! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtfX...

We have a new monthly series at @climatecentral.org highlighting the latest state of the climate, including guest speakers, attribution, and current extremes. Also includes a report summary and interactive graphics to explore/download the data. Learn more at www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt... 🧪

This panel is already packed for maybe obvious reasons. Title: “Quiet Piggy”: Misogynistic Attacks as a Tool To Silence Women Journalists and How We Fight Back. #ijf26

My good friend @amywestervelt.bsky.social talks about how she inadvertently ended up covering Thiel and Musk via her climate coverage in California. “The fossil fuel industry and tech industry operate in the same way. … I see this as an unholy alliance.” Says they use the same PR & law firms. #ijf26

This would a huge amount of damage to the climate, local air and water quality, and consumers' pocketbooks even if only a portion of this insane plan were to be implemented.

And just as they started to give guidance, the little guy flapped his wings a couple times and then sped off. I cheered and then almost started crying while still on the phone. Sorry about having such a clean door little one. Promise to keep it dirty and easier for you to see in the future. 🌱

Put that and an old towel in the box, and then gently picked up the little guy and put him on top. He sat there for a good 20 minutes and watched me (I'd closed the door and sat several feet away). Finally called a local wildlife org to see if I should take him in for care... 🌱

Some scary moments yesterday. A hummingbird flew, HARD, into my glass door between my office and deck yesterday. I found it laying on the doormat barely breathing. Did some quick searching online, cut apart a contact lens solution box, nuked some bulgar in an old sock... 🌱

first little dude! 🐝🌱

🌱 Good morning🌞💜💚

Helen made us a lemon and thyme cake for break time the other day. It was absolutely delicious and a fab combination! #flowers #herbs #cake #baking 🌱

Such a beautiful Herb 💙🌱

This morning I am pinching the idea of our friend @rickmartin.bsky.social and following in his forest footsteps with my #BlueBellBeat for #ForestFriday #PurpleFriday and #FlowersOnFriday. Enjoy it while it lasts. It used to be May but now it is peak purple in April. #TenMinutesFromHome #ECK

Maybe she can focus on big oil next. Why do they get a 34 billion dollar windfall every year from gov't, when they make 8 billion profits, per quarter, from what Americans pay at the pump.

Tax rates went UP for those at the bottom who scrimp just ot put food on the table, in order to give more mega yachts & summer mansions in Europe to the billionaires

So while people may have gotten a BIT bigger tax refund, I guarantee you IT WON'T cover the INCREASED costs of their HEALTHCARE, GAS bills, housing food etc. etc. etc.! Americans DON'T BUY into their SMOKESCREEN! LYING is ALL they DO!

These are the real welfare queens and terrorists we need to be worried about not someone from another country. Your oppression is their profession...on your dime.

Interesting that he says, “ I don’t see the two as correlated.” If he DID know that the two are correlated (and of course, he DOES), would he fucking CARE?!!!

The arrogance....the "let them eat cake" attitude...Truly disgusting.

She just should’ve yelled back at him. I reclaim my fucking time. Shut your mouth. These men are so completely rude afraid of a woman and no spine to a treasonous traitor. They will all pay at some point the sooner the better.

It’s because most Republican men like that asshole can’t seem to get over the fact of being questioned by a woman and furthermore those men think they’re in charge of everything when they don’t know or understand that Trump‘s gonna throw them under the bus as soon as he feels like it she should’ve

I used to attend hearings frequently when I worked for the union in DC. I never remember the witnesses being as disrespectful as they are now. Testifying was a serious activity and one never wanted to be flippant or disrespectful lest you say something that could be misconstrued.

What an asshole this guy is for talking over Senator Warren.

Fact: The richest man in the world slashed grannie's healthcare and is proud of it.

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

well dorks...I'm in the HOUSE! (At the Education and Workforce hearing of RFK Jr.) And we are LIVE SKEETING! (p.s. we met someone in the wild who come to our Virtual Rally on 3/28!)

In another massive data set of more than 1.5 million children ‌born between 1997 and 2022, the use of Tylenol during pregnancy was NOT associated with autism, even after accounting for ​individual risk factors. Autism was diagnosed in 1.8% of children exposed to Tylenol and 3% of the unexposed group.

Multiple candidates in multiple cities can and should realistically be running, in part, on a platform of ‘We will arrest and charge every last one of these ICE agents who’ve abused our citizens.’

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, ..."

Seems to me this was a hacking, not just a denial of service causing problems with login. Bluesky would never mispell the word regions - see two screenshots showing typos on "regions".

England, UK here. Bluesky's working fine so far over last hr (Fri 17 Apr 11:50 am BST). If you're in Canada and still have issues maybe we were some of the regions Bluesky cited probs w yesterday. Took some screenshots yesterday. Here's 10 of them & in next 2 comments. Note dodgy spelling of region.

Um, no, this is not happening in n the US of A.

Home! The wind is picking up but the #rose in the #polycrub has burst into flower. 🌹 🌱 #uist

We have strawberry flowers! This particular plant has spread across a whole corner in our garden. We brought back one tiny stem from a forest in France the other year and we may be in for a treat of wild strawberries this summer! #GardeningFeed.

I think I went to this 🌱 share last year ... It did not have my favorite vibe (long line, centrally run/plant drop off, no opportunities to talk to people about the plants you're giving away) but still, good to know. Morning of April 25 in Columbia #Maryland. www.oaklandmills.org/events-1/yar...

Happy Friday! 🌱

REP. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social: “Pam Bondi officially did not show up to her hearing — she was head of the largest cover-up we've seen in this nation… the cover-up of the Epstein files, and Trump’s connection to Epstein. Congress needs to know what she was told to do, and told not to do.”

WATCH: “They preach freedom of speech and non-censorship, but this was my experience.” The Georgia student who asked JD Vance about Epstein describes how hard they tried to screen his question and hand-pick the questioners.

Their latest sticker is really cool it says 'Let's sue to government' but in a funny Care Bears kind of font and rainbow colours 😂 www.instagram.com/p/DPkDlxrgUuH/
