Every time a tech entrepreneur says “we don’t need to stop global warming because AI will” I want to slap them with a fish that says, “if a superhuman intelligence came into being and we asked it how to stop global warming, it would say ‘stop burning fossil fuels, you fools.’”

A big part of the Millennial experience has been seeing our peers locked out of political power while an older generation refuses to step aside out of a sense of entitlement. That's why it feels good to see candidates like Michelle Wu and Zohran Mamdani succeed.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Re-upping this on the news of Dick Cheney's death. A man whose life work will go down in the fossil record.

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Look on my works, and like and follow for more.

I don't think we should talk about climate change anymore, we should talk about kitchen-table issues. Like how climate change will destroy your kitchen table and everything else you have

This is one of this signs of massive climate change, and it’s been happening for years now.

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

i just keep hearing this quote in my head

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

#NoKings Miami!

it is again insane to me that people think it’s better to shoot shit into the atmosphere- which has consequences we don’t know about- than stop using fossil fuels, something we already know how to do.

Strong and clear response from MIT to this regime's latest attempt to take over university teaching. The demands are blatantly fascist. MIT: "we freely choose these values because they're right..." 👏🏽 orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

i am not saying the world has gone completely bonkers but the world has gone absolutely completely bonkers

If only there was some kind of warning.

The land of the brave

We will regret not acting faster on climate change.

they are destroying US climate science on purpose, and it hurts my heart. but take it from an MIT-trained nerdass: all most of us need to know is that we have to stop burning stuff stop burning stuff for heat stop burning stuff for make car go stop burning stuff for power we have the tools

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

We don’t talk enough about how racists and authoritarians are the ones who actually genuinely hate this country.

Franklin uttered the phrase on this very date (September 17), the last day of the Constitutional Convention, in 1787

I mean if you really want an American general strike, there are probably worse ways to try and get it off the ground

This is going to kill tiktok, and maybe that’s okay. It had a good run, but I don’t want to be on a platform where the algorithm is owned by the government.

If the journalists and news companies you rely on did not make clear prior to last year's election that these were the stakes in last year's election, I would urge you to reconsider your media diet.

This past decade this week has been insane

One of the defining experiences of my life, and I think yours, is gradually witnessing the internet degrade from the most sophisticated tool for information distribution in history into a cesspit of misinformation and falsehoods. It's a world-historical tragedy, what's happening to us.

Someone posted a story on TikTok having been at the Charlie Kirk shooting. First comment: are you okay? Creator replies: I’m okay, it isn’t my first school shooting. This country…

POLITICIANS AFTER VILE POLITICAL ACTIVIST IS SHOT: we 👏 must 👏 reject 👏 political 👏 violence 👏 of 👏 any 👏 kind 👏 POLITICIANS AFTER A BUNCH OF BABIES ARE SHOT: ah, whaddya gonna do? 🤷

we should probably not have made the worst person in the world the leader of the country. whoops.

#hugops to the NPM team dealing with a pretty massive security issue in top javascript packages today, and props to @bad-at-computer.bsky.social for being transparent about what happened. Computers suck.

Yes! Vaccines are a real wedge issue. Fight!

We couldn’t possibly be in a worse information environment for what’s happening. Which is probably, in part, why it’s happening.

this is our fucking city

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

America heartbroken to discover president somehow still alive

Remember in the 1990s when we honestly thought things would get better when all the old fucks aged out of politics? Adorable, really

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

Oysters, oligarchs, autocracy. newrepublic.com/article/1996... I’m loving this new crop of Senate candidates who are willing to label our enemies.

Far-flung powers trying to exert authority over Boston haven't fared well historically

I helped build tools that had to touch SSN for voter registration back in 2016 and 2020, and were so careful with it. We used a VPN for all access to production, didn't store the data permanently, and submitted to third-party audits of all code and configurations. These clowns put it all on AWS! 🤡🔥

To understand what is happening in our world today you have to understand that the Trump regime aren't just fascists they are PETROFASCISTS. #ClimateSky 🔌💡

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

I know the cruelty is the point, but they are dredging up decades old minor charges to arrest immigrants for trivial things, detain them in the dark, and make their life hell. We built a turnkey totalitarian state. We’ll have to demolish it and charge the jailers. www.masslive.com/news/2025/08...

“But they came here illegally” ON GOD i don’t care

I will never forgive the people playing semantic word games to try and deny or excuse this

They're trying to convince everyone that building a Dyson Sphere around the solar system is more realistic than increasing the capital gains tax

The IEA’s 2025 outlook makes it clear: clean energy is eating fossil fuels’ lunch. ⚡ Renewables, grids, storage & electrification now draw double the cash of oil, gas & coal—despite IEA’s erratic underestimates for over a decade. The age of electricity isn’t coming, it’s here. 🌍 #EnergyTransition
