Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

Cities can now achieve “what was once thought impossible”: cutting air pollution by 20–45% in little more than a decade. 19 cities, including London, San Francisco and Beijing, cut levels of both PM2.5 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) by more than 20% since 2010. buff.ly/hsm3JlY #ShareGoodNewsToo

coffee just hit my hand....

12.7M acres of solar is is about 82% of the solar required to decarbonize the US in the Net Zero America E+ scenario (there's wind and existing nuclear and stuff in there too, but that's the solar portion). Or we can have 5% of our gasoline displaced.

There isn’t an APA style pizza, yet.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Actually doing political work is not cool. It's a lot of being in meetings with earnest dorks who remind you of your parents. If you want to be edgy and badass and aloof and SO much cooler than the normies, you should get into obscure film or fashion or music or whatever.

It’s just funny that they’re still pretending it’s because he was such a great general and not because he fought for ethnonationalism and slavery. All that edglord nonsense and they still can’t be honest bsky.app/profile/bern...

oh wow another piece of shit company that needs to be destroyed via lawsuits and regulation

Phone less convenient in every way and furthermore it is for babies. You always see babies poking away at phones and tablets. A baby is never on the computer

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

the intense Buffy nostalgia is not really nostalgia, I think, just longing for the best show to ever explain that you have to keep on fighting the Big Bads even when you don’t want to do it anymore

The “writing is thinking” posting will continue until a single freaking person in Silicon Valley has figured this out

One thing that AI evangelists seem to assume, particularly legal AI evangelists assume, is that the thinking and analysis is quick, and the writing is just tedious busywork that slows us down. But the writing IS the thinking and analysis. You work out the thinking and analysis by writing it down.

I will not be one of the drop offs @michaelhobbes.bsky.social I promise. I need to know where this is going.

I am like 15 minutes into the new Maintenance Phase episode about Russell brand and have made all of the following faces

At the Resilient 365 conference this morning hosted by @miamiresilience.bsky.social, new City of Miami mayor @mayorehiggins.com said resilience = affordability. When were unprepared for disasters it costs more in seen and unseen ways. Dem electeds can make a case for lots of values simultaneously.

Attention Science Communicators! We are conducting a survey on the landscape of science communication & need your help gathering experiences. Please send this to #SciComm ppl you know. We want to get as thorough a sense of the state of the field as we can. umiami.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

The meaning in writing is found in the dynamic tension between what the author intended to put there, what the text contains, and what the audience takes away. With AI written articles it’s like one corner of that tension goes slack and the others quickly follow.

So perfectly put. I teach my students that all writing is in conversation with something or someone else. When you journal you’re in conversation with yourself. When you publish a peer reviewed paper you’re in conversation with others engaged in that literature.

The emerging cases of AI psychosis have shown that all it takes to drive some people completely insane is to put them in contact with a sycophantic chatbot who always agrees with them. Now, what does that tell us about billionaire CEOs surrounded by sycophantic people who always agree with them?

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Looking for recommendations: who in academia is writing about the social phenomenon of grift (health, political, otherwise)? Any leads out there for who is writing/thinking about this? #academicsky #sts #sociology #polisky #socialpsyc 🗺️ #geosky

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

My wife says I like The Pitt because "where else do you see competent people in positions of authority trying to help?"

The irritating thing about boy kibble is that what they've actually made here is boy wet food, and I'm concerned that we're no longer educating our children to know the difference.

I see the letters AI so often I knee jerk read them as “a” “i” even when it’s actually the name AL (as in I can call you Betty…”). The other day I read part of a skeet in my head as Weird “a” “i” Yankovich. Anyways everything is bleak right now but that was really demoralizing all by itself.

What’s the point of going to the gym?? This forklift can lift and move around weigh more weight more efficiently.

Why did I not know that this was a thing until RIGHT NOW?

I mean not that it’s the important part but those dolphins are going to crash into each other

The left is excited about underwater robots that livestream video feeds of octopus nurseries from the deep Gulf of Mexico. The right is excited about summarizing a five word e-mail, incorrectly.

We had to monitor so many biathlon races that we barely had time for anything extra besides watching Ilia get the yips

genuinely just don't even know how to talk about this stuff, these people are so fucking evil

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

Rockwell would have painted this.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.
