just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car he was married at the time

Chef's Kiss👨‍🍳💋 The “Guardians of Pedophiles” projection has been displayed publicly in Wynwood, Miami, FL. It is part of a visual campaign targeting Republican figures linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case.

"Fuck moving forward. Screw coming together. We are going to hire a team of prosecutors so large it needs its own building, fund them so well they have their own helicopters, and instruct them to go after everyone who broke the law from the White House to individual ICE agents."

fuck a doodle doo.

Fair. Useful. Necessary.

Always my fav chart from the GCB, and here's the 2025 update. It lays out what we've avoided, what we've failed to avoid, and what's at stake if we let the future slip We are not on a good trajectory, and slipping back into a worse trajectory is always possible. But: we know it bleeds

One of the authors of the FT piece writes. I’m sure a handful of people are buying very flash bikes on the scheme. But the lifting of the limit has facilitated purchases of e-bikes and cargo bikes that genuinely replace cars. So they should be careful. Furthermore, the bike business is dying.

The Telegraph sides with Trump against the BBC and, so, the country. Private Eye sums up its feeble-minded, fawning betrayal beautifully.

The clever thing about going for stuff like the cycle for work scheme is it’s really noticeable, affects people with lots of media access and platforms, annoys green groups, and raises almost no revenue at the same time. Real win/win/win there.

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

The implication that this stuff was just sitting there throughout Biden’s term and sat on is arguably worse malfeasance than Buchanan.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me. I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

I emigrated out of the US in 1999. Feeling pretty good about that decision most of the time since.

It’d be hilarious and sort of fitting if to get out of this Trump invoked Insurrection Act, declares martial law, and the ICE goon squad lock out Congress and SCOTUS. Terrible, of course…but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s not like people weren’t warned.

Here’s what is interesting about this answer: It is not a “no.” bsky.app/profile/just...

The cheesiest 80s TV had more cultural literacy and integrity than what people marinade in. youtu.be/3LK4e-Jq6bs?...

the decision to really just abandon moderation and let it rip suggests that this is what meta wants for its platform. this is the final, idealized form of the product

People really need to stop framing it is a question of getting more evidence. I mean, sure, that too. But we know. We all know. The president of the United States raped children. Say that. When they get mad at you for saying it, say it again and treat them like an idiot for pretending they doubt it.

Mamdani has the chance to do the funniest thing ever on his first day

“Re : re: re: Deadline for upcoming sex crimes “

I also talk honestly about how heartbroken I am by the way some environmental organizations, notably the Institute for Policy Integrity, have responded to the Michigan suit. Several months ago, the Institute told me they may end my affiliated scholar status because of concerns about litigation risk.

Global institutions where the US is the largest funding source can no longer be relied upon to present reality as they see it -- which is rather the point of the pressure, to destroy the credibility of those institutions.

The whole protest that got a bit rowdy at #COP30 was over in less than 5 minutes.   "É culpa deles que tá quente pra caralho." = "It's their fault it's fucking hot." Someone with better Portuguese might get the rest.

That's quite a contrast of headlines in the news on the same report It arises because of the way that the International Energy Agency is choosing to report its scenarios 🧵🧵 1/3 www.ft.com/content/8696... www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How many proxies will Peter Thiel have in G7 govt leadership by next year? I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.

But but I was told it was smart diplomacy to get the King to kowtow and give Trump a 2nd state dinner?

Protests at #COP30. “‘At last, something has happened here,’ said Juan Carlos Monterrey-Gómez, a Panamanian climate negotiator.” More: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Chris has a good point, another thing to consider around this is that the Kremlin helped cause Brexit to happen as well as putting Trump into and back into the White House. And yes, Russia is basically Exxon with an army.

BLOOD WORK / EPISODE 7 DICK DOWN We break the emergency glass and initiate the Gregk Directive to commemorate the passing of one of the 21st century's greatest monsters, taking a look back at some of his proudest achievements. (However bad you think he was, he was worse.)

The federal government only wanted to help South Australia with the algal bloom if it did not require new funding despite being briefed that an estimated 250k marine animals had been killed, new documents obtained through FOI reveal. New from me in @thepointau.bsky.social.

I think what is going to happen is that lab-grown meat will gradually catch up with real animals and when that happens we will all quietly admit that the vegans were right about factory farming

If you feel overwhelmed, remember that you can still make a difference doing little things. A compliment or word of encouragement, a tip to a favorite takeout place, a donation to a local charity, an email to your favorite author, time with a pet, a walk outside, or a phone call to a loved one.

Every senator let through the unanimous consent to make the whole thing take 5 minutes. Every one of them is lying to you about their opposition

Good morning to all those people who wasted the last decade saying, "there's no point tackling climate change in the UK, because China." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Live your life in such a way that literally every single day’s readings doesn’t seem like the universe is personally telling you off for being a shit.

“Climate-related disasters displaced 250 million people globally over the past decade, the equivalent of 70,000 people every day. Floods, storms, drought & extreme heat are driving displacement, alongside slow-onset disasters threatening food & water security.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Van Hollen Senate Minority Leader vote when

The fact that rich people are buying up the media and politicians, and using up the remaining carbon budget is very bad for everyone.

Today would be a good day for @aoc.bsky.social to announce she is primarying this jamoke.

Had same thought yesterday. I grew up Catholic & recently started going back, in Tun Wells of all places. Remembrance Sunday was usual crowd - Filipino, West African, Indian, Polish, Afro-Caribbean, SE Asian, Latin American, maybe 35% white British + Irish. Plus Scout troop w kids of these people.

Since 1990, the emissions share of the richest 1% has increased by 13%, and the richest 0.1% has grown by 32%, while the poorest 50% has decreased by 3%. policy-practice.oxfam.org/resources/cl...

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK. And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there. THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

Notable that the supposedly “patriotic” wing of British politics wants to destroy / defund almost all of our national institutions

Just occurred that the BBC is the most literal example of Conquest's third law in that it is actually run by a cabal of its enemies.

America has a substantial white Christian Evangelical population and activating them politically was a 40+ year project. These guys think they’re gonna make Christian Nationalism work here when the population is secularising and most devout Christians are among the immigrant groups they despise.

It's 10 yrs since Laudato Sì, Pope Francis' letter that influenced climate talks from Paris Agreement to ICJ AO. Dr. Lorna Gold (exec director, Laudato Sì Movement) is organising a pre-COP30 event in Oct hosted by Pope Leo in Rome and online. She carved out an hour to talk to Wicked Problems!

Spoke to a lot of great people while there, so am putting it into a new series, ClimatePilgrim.com. With chats like this w @kuminaidoo.bsky.social - on whether Pope Leo should endorse the @fossiltreaty.bsky.social at #COP30 in Belém. aclimatepilgrim.substack.com/p/should-pop...
