Seems bad from an architecture standpoint, ngl.

77% of the world’s top climate scientists expect global temperatures to rise to at least 2.5C above preindustrial levels this century, blasting past internationally agreed targets and causing catastrophic consequences for humanity, an Guardian survey revealed. ACT NOW! www.un.org/en/actnow/te...

This is the swamp in which we work. To pretend that these men are exceptional mistakes the deep misogyny & racism built into American higher ed. These same men have fashioned themselves as heterodox thinkers against the world of woke but this is who they really are. www.chronicle.com/article/unma...

Great coverage of Kyan Shlipak's recent #ScienceAdvances study on the health impacts of U.S. residential wood burning, by @drgaryfuller.bsky.social, for the @theguardian.com @science.org

He went there. He actually went there.

According to the medical journal @thelancet.com, heat extremes caused an estimated 546k deaths every year between 2012 & 2021 – a 63% rise on rates seen in the 1990s “That's the equivalent of a fully loaded jumbo jet full of people going down once every 7hrs throughout the year” says Prof Ollie Jay

I think we all know the peer review system is broken, and academic journals are cash cows for big companies who see research as something to monetize, so how do we go forward? Anyone got experience ditching the commercial publishing treadmill and simply posting preprints? #academicsky

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

Last December, weather and climate scientists sat down with us to tell us why they loved the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and why it benefits us all. Last night, the NSF began dismantling it. Listen to what they have to say, and why it's urgent that we #SaveNCAR wclivestream.com/act

New rule installed. 😅

docs.google.com/document/d/1... Hey folks, tried putting together a letter in direct response to the NSF unprompted decision. Feel free to offer suggestion or to add your name as a signatory, and thanks to those that did it alredy! Current text follows (errors all mine!)...

Super cool thread on women who built the postwar liberal order.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

It is hard to watch NSF bow so easily to their destroyers. Vannevar Bush formed the NSF out of the US response to the fascists in WWII.

"The last 11 years have been the warmest years on record; according to an analysis by Berkeley Earth if we assume a constant rate of warming since the 1970s, the last three years have a less than 1-in-100 chance of occurring solely due to natural variability." www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Rep. Delia Ramirez has been an incredible leader during these dark times.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist. Cool. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

This is disastrous and evil. Spread the word. Call your members of Congress, even if you don't live in these states.

An observation I've been thinking about: Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

Hang it in the Louvre

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

also *why are these girls around* Megan? why are they *on the fucking island* or at the parties? maybe they were taken there in some way? trafficked, as it were?

Sick of this!

This NYT piece never mentions the most important detail of the hearing. THESE PEOPLE ARE UNLAWFULLY being held--and many are unlawfully being snatched in the first place. The reason there's such a caseload is bc ICE is kidnapping people illegally.

William Nordhaus received the Nobel Memorial Prize for these flawed economic models, and Bjorn Lomborg built a highly lucrative career on them. They told rich and powerful people what they wanted to hear. While helping to consign us all to catastrophe. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

From Stalin to Mussolini, Orban to Putin, science and universities more broadly have been either destroyed or yoked to the needs and ideologies of the state. Wake up and smell the coffee folks. Trump, Vought, RFK Jr., "Podcast Jay" are coming for you and have been for a year. 9/

Hey... ...GM 🖤

I’m pleased to share my latest article in @uk.theconversation.com It asks what overheated apartments, flooded rice fields, & invisible policy failures have in common, & how preventable harm becomes the slow violence of necropolitics in the Chthulucene. Here's a short thread on some key points 🧵
