NO TO SINGLE-USE! 🥤🥡 Single-use items represent a massive design failure, creating a legacy of pollution that recycling alone cannot fix. #ChooseReuse! What's one thing you do to avoid single-use? Share it in the comments! #BreakFreeFromPlastic #RefuseSingleUse

NPR built a visual archive of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, showing exactly what happened through the lenses of the people who were there. In Chapter 3, we lay out a timeline of key moments throughout the day as the assault on the Capitol unfolded.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

Admittedly, I know nothing about punctuation or grammar. I’m just out here winging it, comma what may.

did he rename it trumpezuela yet

If the answer isn't "add seven more plants," then I guess I just don't understand interior design.

We also re-released the episode on the Ball of Thread podcast feed. Listen here:

They just shifting their justifications for supporting fossil fuels with the times. But the fact remains immutable: the @ipcc.bsky.social said in 2023 that we already had too much fossil fuel to halt heating at 2C. 1.9/2

Zeke Hausfather and his friends at the Breakthrough Institute have been pro-fossil-gas (and coal!) since forever. 1.8/2

I mean, it’s so stupid because the “liberals should support the oil and gas industry” is NOT even a response to Trump’s victory. Matt Yglesias made that argument throughout Biden’s presidency. Jesse Jenkins published this “all of the above” OpEd in 2022. 1.75/2

I've written before about efforts fossil fuel interests have made to lock us into fossil fuels. Gift link! www.nytimes.com/2024/06/01/o...

Nice article by @thorbenson.bsky.social about the consequences of the U.S. rejection of renewable energy www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

*TRUMP: DRILLING WILL BRING OIL PRICES DOWN FURTHER Tell me you don't understand price signals without telling me you don't understand price signals

I bought an online pass when we visited Big Bend on my birthday in late December and was able to avoid getting this pass. I would not have bought one with his face on it.

This is why I’m pushing for a state escrow account that holds federal funds before sending them on to Washington. If Trump wants to steal our tax dollars that were legally appropriated by Congress, then we should just be paying ourselves.

“These viruses are serious, dangerous, and life-threatening. We are seeing children who are seriously ill, families grieving devastating losses, and hospitals under capacity strain.” www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/h...

I’m shocked. Shocked!

To fight to curb oil supply is to fight Donald Trump’s lawless authoritarianism. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Totally safe for OTHER PEOPLE to drink I meant.

This is worth watching. It reminds me of the claim that DDT was "so safe you could drink it." Yet another example of industry recycling refuted claims. @kaurov.org @michaelscherer.bsky.social @davidho.bsky.social > www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovKw... >

Here’s America’s dictator carving up the world and laying claim to 2 continents.

OUT: Helping you pay for health care. IN: Helping oil companies pay for their infrastructure in a foreign country.

My sense is that China is using this oldie but goodie @rockymountviews.bsky.social playbook to destroy global oil demand. With subsidized EV technology, China can help 50+ emerging markets destroy 3-4 million barrels per day of oil demand by 2030.

I never imagined my "Cities aren't loud, cars are loud" line would break containment but here we are!

"About 300,000 more people are riding the subway each day — far more than the 70,000 cars that have been taken off the road in the congestion zone. People are still coming, just not necessarily by private car"

Also, I’m really excited to talk to anyone and everyone about end of life composting.

But also… sequences may not be added to sequences recursively. Except now they can be.

I like rocks.

Offshore wind has been a huge success for consumers and for the grid. It is insane that we have a federal government that is in the pocket of Big Oil and Coal and is doing everything it can to shut them down. @sierraclub.org @newsday.bsky.social

Suck it Trump -- Clean energy is still winning despite all of your efforts to prop up fossil fuels. @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

I’m not the first person to wrench out their back by sneezing.

Congestion pricing has improved commute times, bus speeds, noise levels, traffic safety, and businesses and restaurants have seen more profits. A runway success by any measure. And a model for other cities too. Gift 🎁 link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hopefully people will remember all the screaming about congestion pricing the next time the city and state want to do something big and take away this lesson: Ignore the "no way, no how" opponents, get it done quickly, and improve people's lives.

RFK Jr's HHS had a press call to announce they were — based on no new data — overhauling the childhood vaccine schedule. Senior officials at HHS answered questions but refused to go on the record, saying we could only attribute the quotes to "officials." www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Gee, I wonder why the headline doesn't read "Two-thirds of Americans don't support US strike in Venezuela"?? www.reuters.com/world/americ...

As the calendar year begins, a reminder of the rapid acceleration of carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, driving increasingly severe #climate changes. Shown are the past 2000 years of CO2 concentrations. Stop burning fossil fuels.

Also good for cheating at chess

PREGNANT WOMEN TAKE YOUR ADVICE FROM ME GREATLY

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

Stark raving dumba$$ It’s Monday. There are 302 days until the midterm elections. The president tortures an American family, Walz drops out and Donald the Dove wants a world war.

I tried to be productive today. Instead, I wrote a 5-page essay on why pigeons are the real CEOs of cities. My boss hasn’t read it yet. Probably because I emailed it to him from my cat’s account.

This makes me think about how orcas are sinking yachts and also about how there are multiple documented instances of orcas hunting and eating moose.

Your habitual reminder that water is in every single thing you eat and drink

President Trump suggests — without evidence — that Governor Tim Walz, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Governor Gavin Newsom, Governor JB Pritzker, and Governor Kathy Hochul have committed crimes.

It’s official: RFK Jr has officially reduced recommended childhood vaccines from 17 to 11, removing universal vaccine recommendations for RSV, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, dengue and two types of bacterial meningitis. This reckless contravention of science is going to kill people.

In a lawless administration, reminders to obey the law are rather unwelcome. So Mark Kelly must be punished for not fitting in by obeying the rules.

Just a few things I'd like to say about this @hausfath.bsky.social piece. The first is that every 10th of a degree of heating over 2C raises risks for multiple irreversible catastrophes MORE than every 10th of a degree of heating under 2C. That's why the 2C target exists. It's not random. 🧵
