Did someone say Carbon Capture and Storage?? This from the Australian government. youtu.be/MSZgoFyuHC8

When I started to criticize wild promises for carbon dioxide capture & removal in 2022, I took *so much shit* from the energy modelers and journalists promoting it, but those same people are silent now that even the scientists who first imagined the tech are increasingly mounting the same criticism.

The whole war on “woke” and “cancel culture” was contrived to protect the worst people in our society and make it possible for them to keep doing despicable things to other people.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants. We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Since Donald Trump returned to office, Katherine J. Wu, Tom Bartlett, and Nicholas Florko have covered the rise of the MAHA movement and the changes to public-health and infectious-disease policy. They’re answering your questions on Reddit today at 2:00 p.m. ET: redd.it/1ovvyzs

Jeffrey Epstein was developing a series, moderated by @lkrauss1.bsky.social, to bring scientists and celebrities together. The first season would include an episode where "Woody Allen talks about the human condition with Linguist Noam Chomsky." drive.google.com/file/d/14Sla...

28. FOOTNOTE: *Yes, surrender was Schumer’s doing. Don’t be fooled by the fact that he voted no. Jeanne Shaheen, one of the eight Democrats to vote with the Republicans, said they were in constant contact with him, the clear implication being that she and the others were not acting on their own.

1. On Monday, I was angry with the eight Democrats, under Chuck Schumer’s direction*, who voted with the Republicans to reopen the federal government. I called them traitors who betrayed their party by surrendering before the fight was over. www.editorialboard.com/the-democrat...

How can these two seemingly contradictory things about US politics both be true? 1. Partisanship is calcified. 2. Election outcomes are thermostatic. TURNOUT. It’s not the same people who vote every time. Mobilizing, organizing, educating, party infrastructure—it all matters.

‘You’re gonna have to learn his f*cking name now.’ @mehdirhasan.bsky.social slams the billionaires who spent millions to keep Zohran Mamdani out of City Hall – all while being unable to pronounce his name.

This is what Elon Musk looked like before he took hormones, had a hair transplant and plastic surgery. All stuff that he wants banned for Trans people.

y'all, be careful with this. I'm only seeing "usamidia" reporting this, which appears to be a shitty clickbait site seemingly big on rightwingery and low on truth (even for rightwingery)

Day 1352 and therefore thread #1,352 as every single day I document everything important happening in Ukraine + Russia as the latter's illegal war continues. Putin doesn't have many chips left - he's put them all on🔴, the blood of Ukrainians. An all-out gamble to break the west's resolve.

“The entire industry is built on AI slop.”

We know that Belgium has the bulk of Russia's immobilised assets. But where are the others? My colleague @shonamurray.bsky.social and I reached out to the Western countries believed to hold the remaining assets. But our efforts were met with a wall of silence. Here's why nobody wants to speak up.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children: I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets www.404media.co/you-cant-ref...

A reminder that the original Hallowe'en jack o' lanterns date back to 18th century Ireland if not earlier, were based on a shady boozy blacksmith called Stingy Jack who cheated the devil & was trapped between 2 worlds, were carved from turnips and looked like this:

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

my god, what a paragraph (from tonight's @hcrichardson.bsky.social)

„The China Trap: How Germany made itself dependent on China out of convenience and myopia“. Cover page of Germany‘s main business paper. A collective German elite failure on a gigantic scale. Time for a reckoning. And most of all: finally time for serious action to reduce our dependencies.

Dear New York, at the very least, please give wonderful Democratic Socialist Mamdani a massive landslide victory so that he has a mandate.

As Elie Mystal writes www.thenation.com/article/poli...

In case you've forgotten, the press, i.e. the fourth estate, holds its own public service role as the final check on government. It is literally your job to hold the government to account, not normalize their plans to side-step the Constitution. Hope this helps! law.yale.edu/mfia/case-di...

Kristi Noem: “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those that are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting.”

I can answer this. I interviewed Peterson's tailor a few years ago, although the interview was never published because I fell behind on work. Here is the story of this suit. 🧵

I'm not saying we should be concerned. But we should probably start preparing for whatever is to come. We know what the Wagner Group is, and what they do. #SheShed

This is a really clear explanation of how companies like WalMart privatize their wins and socialize their losses. They don’t pay their workers a living wage so their workers need SNAP. Then people use SNAP to buy food at WalMart. American Capitalism is a racket and it’s time for a MAJOR overhaul.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.
