New episode of with @glenpeters.bsky.social on the following topics @cicero.oslo.no Global warming & climate change progress 1.5°C vs 3°C warming scenarios Net-zero emissions and climate targets Global emissions & peak emissions IPCC climate projections Fossil fuels in 2050 youtu.be/xfvA8_N1xqk?...

James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.

BlueSky reaction to the new Dutch coalition is bizarre to me. A lot of (decent, clever) people on here whose reaction to a pretty centrist, bog standard coalition is to react as if the NSB are back. You thought Jetten was Obama and he turned out to be Nick Clegg. It’s not the end of the world!

The planetary crisis will define our future, and almost none of us have personal strategies for meeting it. This four-week Personal Climate Strategy Workshop is probably the best crash course in applied climate foresight anywhere. Check it out: alexsteffen.thinkific.com/courses/Pers...

If we could get billionaires to pay a reasonable tax rate, we could eliminate the national debt. I like this plan better.

Here’s an idea, how about the wealthy pay fair taxes.

They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

4. The business side of Epstein is a massive vindication of @naomiaklein.bsky.social's Shock Doctrine (2007) and @leninology.bsky.social's more resent Disaster Capitalism.

I think this needs to be forwarded to Lisa Randall and Larry Summers and…oh just send it to the Harvard Crimson, I think they will republish it.

Harvard professor Lisa Randall maintained years of contact with Jeffrey Epstein — exchanging emails and phone calls and flying on his private jet in 2014 — according to DOJ documents. Megan L. Blonigen and @hugochiassonn.bsky.social report. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

Just reading through the Epstein emails and thinking about the notion that "MeToo went too far." How about we put all the world's men on a remote island and have them justify re-entry into decent society one by one, judged by a jury of women? That would be far enough.

I hate to ruin BlueSky’s fun, but: Melania’s terrible film had the biggest opening weekend of any documentary in the last 14 years www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/b...

FWIW the deal tracks pretty closely with my preferences but I was surprised how right leaning it is, particularly on the economy. Yesilgoz got a good deal Healthcare cuts + Schiphol expansion + eigen risico increasing is an “interesting” package for the first leftish PM in a generation

"We are on the brink of an irreversible climate disaster. This is a global emergency beyond any doubt. Much of the very fabric of life on Earth is imperiled." That's from a group of more than a dozen prominent climate scientists. Probably nothing.

Gonna go ahead and say this was a) inevitable and b) widely predicted, but the subhuman shitstains involved in all this c) don't care.

9-9-6 was a Chinese term invented mostly to show how depressing and lifeless work culture was; watching softbrained AI guys adopt it as an ideal is ... well, entirely predictable

"Still No Miracles Needed" is out Describes how to solve the climate crisis, and at the same time eliminate air pollution and safely secure energy supplies for all - without using miracle technologies. web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/j... Video www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTDN...

7/ They’ve warned about: – climate-driven migration – state fragility – conflict risks – pressure on food, water, and infrastructure – cascading systemic shocks In other words: the same risks environmentalists and scientists have been pointing to, in different language.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

A little extra love to Minnesota nurses today.

In 21st century US politics, the two most important ongoing stories are: 1) The radicalization of the GOP, & 2) the degradation of the information environment, ie, the death of accountability journalism. Neither gets a fraction of the attention devoted to, say, annoying woke undergrads.

It’s unreal that Republicans who spent their whole lives talking about resisting government overreach and the dangers of an intrusive state and being prepared to fight tyranny now say they’re just fine with rampant authoritarianism www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Alex Pretti wasn’t a part of “engineered chaos.” He was a nurse who cared about people. An individual. What is “engineered chaos” is what this admin is doing in blue cities to justify invocation of the insurrection act.

This is Trump’s America. We need to ensure it won't be his “Mirror, Mirror” version much longer.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

They owe her, and all of us, an apology.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Like most here, I am horrified and heartbroken over what has happened in Minneapolis with the death of yet another brave citizen in the fight against ICE abuses. No one should have to pay that price for our freedom, and no family should have to hear that terrible news.

Incredible turnout in Chi-town today protesting the murder of Alex Pretti. God love them! ❤️ #Chicago #AlexPretti #Fascism #ICE #Gestapo

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Good Lord, the shooting victim was a registered nurse at the VA.

I hope those 7 Dems who voted for ICE funding are proud of themselves

there is no perfectly sympathetic victim but ICE sure seems like it’s trying to find one

This has happened in Maine also. The Feds just leave cars on the side of the road or even in the road with nobody in them in the dead of winter.

Half the world's 100 largest cities are experiencing high water stress, where the amount of water being used is perilously close to exceeding what's available. Now, climate change is drying already stretched water supplies. Our new article, out now: share.google/EUPGwaOZefaC...

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder
