@kyracloudy.bsky.social has another article coming out… and it sounds epic! Best aircraft safety analysis on the internet IMO admiralcloudberg.medium.com/progress-upd...

I wasn’t ready for this. ☠️ 😭 Low T Pete will never live this down.

The planet is burning, oceans are choking, forests are disappearing—and someone is still stirring the pot for profit. The ingredients are familiar: fossil fuels, plastic waste, deforestation, pollution, overconsumption, and corporate greed.

The creator of Roger Rabbit (who is 85 years old by the way) is a good sort Crossposted with @openvibe.social

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

You’ve been murdered! Who do you want on the case?

i first met sam neill in the late 80's on the set of jeremy brett's sherlock holmes. i think it was manchester studios. he and jeremy were pals. i was moving a light wi'out gloves cause i'm a tosser. i burned my hand. yelled "FUCK!" jeremy came right over, sam (who was visiting) in tow. (1/4)

I feel like a broken record when I say that the future is now, climate-wise. The best time to act was decades ago, the second best time is today. If only those with power cared about the rest of us. www.cbsnews.com/news/wildfir...

I am not a climate scientist but when I was a kid the number of times we couldn’t go outside because of Canadian wildfire smoke was zero times

All people deserve to be able to pray in peace. Sending solidarity and strength to Samir and all of our muslim comrades who are suffering during this awful surge in anti-Muslim hate. Full article at: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

@albomp.bsky.social banning these parasites would be a much more sensible step.

Many, many years ago I worked for a certain legal news website to which Lindsey Graham subscribed. Anyway i hardcoded it to always spell his name wrong in the top corner, no matter how many times he tried to manually correct it.

What’s a woman? We asked The Odyssey and you’ll never believe the answer…s! 1. Bird with a lady head 2. Shapeshifting witch 3. Baddie who came out of a bird egg 4. A whirlpool maybe 5. Tentacle monster who barks like a dog 6. More different shapeshifting witch 7. Weird horny island hermit

This is addressed to everyone, but especially Americans under the age of 30: Read dystopian novels. Read 1984, and Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451, and White Noise, and—fuck—even Hunger Games. So many of you just aren’t getting what’s been happening just because you don’t read.

socmed is a river of aroha & gratitude. "Sam championed me & so many of us right from the start. He changed my life, by his example & his actions." "He leaves a huge hole. Let's not let the NZ government to create a bigger hole in the land in which Sam called home." Director Toa Fraser @toafraser

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

Not much sensationalizing needed

.. what's he hammering?

🎵He sees you when you're sleeping / he knows when you're awake 🎵

Great article and great discussion thread here. The loss of comprehension and analytical skills, of being able to follow and formulate a logical argument, are deeply worrying and (as below explained) lead to socially destructive populism. @j-amesmarriott.bsky.social has also written on these themes

So when governments say "but the ultrarich might leave the country", we should respond, "mission accomplished then." Get them and their ill-gotten gains out of our politics and out of our hair. And hopefully, with global measures, out of everyone's.

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

The huge story that our children and grandchildren will hate us for ignoring. Climate change messing up the Atlantic current (AMOC) making the climate change worse. It's not just global warming. Northern Europe could end up in a deep freeze this century. www.the-independent.com/life-style/c...

When the previous ocean record for June was set in 2023, scientists described the trends as “worrying”, “terrifying” and “bonkers”. This year, temperatures are even higher.

Who wore it better?

"And that's why I've today decided to dress as the greatest warrior of them all: Liberace"

I like these stripey US team shirts the crowd is wearing… makes it look like an excitable mass “Where’s Wally” cosplay convention. #WorldCup

Proud Boy Meaning: In the horse & human world, a "proud boy" (often called "proud cut") refers to a castrated males that acts like an intact stallion. These bad boys might herd mares, aggressively defend territory, or display other breeding behaviors, despite lacking testicles.

No I’m not going to America’s birthday party because for me July 4th will forever be the day I stood in that house for the last time

Nothing better than sitting in a comfy chair, with a good book and a nice cuppa, and a puddle of cat on your lap. Except maybe if it was not before having to work night shift

If you have hummingbird feeders, you should probably gather them up, scrub them, and replace the nectar. This heat is practically boiling the sugar water in our feeders, and it's amazing how quickly they can go rancid and develop mold that can sicken or kill hummingbirds. #birds #hummingbirds

Remember how FIFA Gianni Infantino was reportedly making a deal with the Trump administration to pause ICE raids during the World Cup? There isn't a targeted siege like last summer, but ICE has been accelerating its kidnappings during the last week

The Royal family limited comments on the picture of JK Rowling with the queen because the replies were entirely flooded with trans flag emojis.

Infinite growth on a finite planet is a physical impossibility.

FFS, polycrisis indeed. This needs to be urgently investigated and addressed

I can scarcely express how much this angers me. I know it's a mean thought, but part of me is glad that the "authors" of the paper, Robert Socolow and Stephen Pacala, have lived long enough to see their deception exposed. There are few people on Earth who have caused so much harm.

Let's not forget Karl Kooker King suddenly coming out after 30 years in the media, emerging as the new champion of the alt-right when he has a $20M home to finish building Yes sure Karl, it's "something you've been wanting to do for a while and you funded it yourself". Yes, of course

This is what I’ve been saying to people who say “I just don’t get how so many people have suddenly decided to support Pauline.” It’s not her policies. It’s not what we hear in the mainstream media. There’s an entire ecosystem funded by Gina/Advance, modelled on mAgA. Direct marketing. Foreign op.

Pro-One Nation Facebook groups appear to be run by foreign ‘meme factories’ that monetise content: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...?

Great to see so much information out there around how to cope with heat, but there is one vulnerable group that has been badly left out. Here's a PSA on how to care for climate deniers during fossil-fuelled heatwaves

“Our fear gut always follows the fastest escape route away from inconvenient truths, and the quickest shortcut to convenient lies. Whether it is a made-up truth or a victim narrative, we will sample the entire buffet of lies and ignore the stale breadsticks of truth at the corner of the table”

How much does normalcy bias affect media reporting? Here is a chart of global sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) from 1982 to 2026 with the years 2023, 2024 and 2025 omitted. As of June 27th, global SSTs have set 26 daily record highs in a row. Media? Is there anybody out there?

If fire ants are allowed to spread across Australia, thousands of pets could be killed and households could be hit with costs of over $1 billion each year, according to new research by The Australia Institute. Read more ➡️ https://theaus.in/4eS9Nnm

Shame on you, @safety.bsky.app

“Our estimate is that about 200 to 400 pedestrians a year would not have died if vehicles had remained approximately the same size over the past quarter-century. That represents about 10 percent of the recent increase in pedestrian deaths.” By M H. Keller, E Murray, D Ivory and I Cabreros #Safety

Ok, what weird foods do peoples’ cats like? Furry Little Evil II loves Turkish bread (I mean, me too, but I am not a cat); Furry Little Evil I liked rock cakes and tofu. I thought this one was a normal-ish cat…

Mentally, one of the most difficult things about modern life is watching the planet burn, understanding why it's burning but having swathes of people with the analytical powers of a tree frog influenced by Big Petro to genuinely believe it's a hoax
