Oh look, Chevron Corp., the only American oil major currently operating in Venezuela under special US permission, surged as much as 6.3% on Monday, the most since last April. #collapse

In competitive authoritarian regimes, the government deters and undermines opposition by using its powers to inflict costs on those who challenge it rather than recognizing their legitimacy as democratic opponents

Wait a minute...why is NWS throwing out genAI generated slop on their socials? This is a horrible look and doesn't help keep people safe or aware of the forecast.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, could you please establish an official NYC Mayor account on Bluesky and post everything your office is currently posting on X over here? And please remove all city accounts from X, which has become a CSAM creation and distribution site? No money for Musk, ever, please.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Because of La Nina and the mid-year dip in 2025, the Climate Casino expects the 365-day running average to fall for the first part of this year, possibly getting as low as 1.40°C by July before rebounding sharply with the onset of the expected El Nino. Current 365-day = 1.47°C.

In case you haven't heard the news, 2025 was the third hottest year on record at 1.47°C above the 1850-1900 baseline, and likely the third hottest year in the last 120,000 years. Data: climatereanalyzer.org/clim/t2_dail...

Nearly 2 inches (5 cm) of rain fell today in less than an hour on the Alisal fire (2021) burn scar, right above Hwy 101, the major North/South coastal freeway in California, causing a debris flow and multiple mud slides. Hwy 101 is closed. Re-opening may take till Tuesday.

It's just the beginning ... things are going to get so much worse. And the saddest part is, as bad as things get, they are just going to get so much worse than that.

Here's the 365-day running mean, showing 2025 ending at 1.47°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average. The quadratic trendline says 1.52°C for 2026. The Climate 8-Ball says "1.58°C will come this way if an El Nino doth the oceans sway." The Climate 8-Ball sucks at poetry.

Popular revolt also has good odds of restoring democracy after overturning an authoritarian regime. Hedge your bets – don't just count on "Regular" institutions to work.

“Trump's Venezuela Attack: It’s All About the Oil, Stupid!” Here are five times Donald Trump himself admitted that illegally attacking Venezuela and toppling Nicolás Maduro was aimed at seizing the country’s massive oil reserves. My latest for Zeteo:

They tried to silence David Huerta. Instead, they ignited a movement. After federal agents violently arrested him during an ICE raid, unions across the country rose up. This could happen to any of us. That’s why solidarity matters. seiu.co/3LkAc2d

My hat is off to DaWokeFarmer and the job he’s doing. He is uniquely qualified to irritate the piss out of these ICE hoods. I’m glad he’s on our side. Keep it up, my dear man. Everyone in my family got ICE whistles in their stockings this year, so we’re doing our part! #Pinks #FuckICE #DaWokeFarmer

Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

Prof Eliot Jacobson: And it's a wrap. The year 2025 came in at 1.47°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, making it the 3rd warmest year on record behind 2023 (1.48°C) and 2024 (1.60°C), and likely the 3rd warmest in the last 120,000 years.

Corrupt tech billionaires are buying power to tilt the world in their favor. Even the co-founder of Y Combinator is saying it. ⬇️ The radical death cult rising from Silicon Valley venture capital is metastasizing rapidly. It's an existential threat to democracy and humanity.

Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.
