My mom-ku written at the #ParisAgreement COP in 2015 In 2050 My child will be my age now How will climate change? Clean energy now Carbon pollution goes down Keep it in the ground Metrics for success Nations coming together In Paris for the kids

Keeping the servers cool in space is enough to make this a bad idea, and that's not even the hardest part. Bezos and Musk are just unbelievably gullible.

How much of the observed global warming was caused by humans? Science's best estimate: ALL OF IT

The Democrats who routinely won in this state were a savage and uncivilized bunch

On this National Christmas Card Day we are pleased to share, from the Library's special collections, a copy of the first commercial Christmas card. It's from 1843, the same year “A Christmas Carol" was published. Both helped establish the Victorian concept of Christmas. blogs.loc.gov/loc/2019/12/...

Saw a movie post about a film that I am a detractor for. But I did not comment. Rage posting is the tool of the enemy. We do not use it. We do not *need* it.

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

Person who actually deserves a trophy is the artist who made the FIFA peace prize trophy look like everyone in the entire world holding their head in their hands out of secondhand embarrassment

NBC NEWS: Jack Smith’s final report “said that Trump ‘inspired his supporters to commit acts of physical violence’ by spreading ‘demonstrably and, in many cases, obviously false’ claims about the 2020 election.” @ryanjreilly.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud. In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that. What a confession.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

European reaction to the new American national strategy document

I now have comment from the Interior Department confirming it is holding up approvals for “federal resources, permits or consultations” related to solar projects on private lands Cc @heatmap.news

Biden & Harris were already speeding up permitting -- not by slashing regulations or imposing arbitrary timelines, but by fully funding & staffing the offices involved.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven. The hypocrisy is stunning.

When power went out across all of Puerto Rico on 16 April, a lot of the lights in the town of Adjuntas stayed on. A combination of experimental microgrids, solar panels, and storage kept power on for many businesses and residents. spectrum.ieee.org/puerto-rico-...

💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

Stop trying to make fetch happen, Charlie Brown

Except it destroyed tens of thousands of careers, took hundreds of thousands of lives through lies and the dismantling of USAID, and drained billions from taxpayers.

Here’s looking at you, Charlie Brown

As happy as I am to be on vacation, I am really bummed to miss watching this game live. 👻⚽️Let’s go @washingtonspirit.com!⚽️👻

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

I needed this boost this morning!

Seems like a good day to revisit why I chose this screen name a little over seven years ago. A 🧵 It was about a week after Jamal Khashoggi was murdered, and the first time (that I know of) that Trump was asked about it.

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Take a moment and sit with this. You deserve a chance to pause and give yourself a little time.

And here are a few more reasons to read the excellent book by @drkatemarvel.bsky.social!
