Record breaking high temperatures and very little snow has given us the lowest snowpack on record in the Colorado mountains. Much of the western U.S. will likely be in severe drought this year.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Not only is TotalEnergies not bothered with being paid $1bn by the US gov't to ditch a wind project, they're actively bragging about how the dirty fossil fuels they'll support with the cash instead will help further worsen data centre pollution mining.com.au/totalenergie...

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

These people have a funny way of saying "Environmentalists have been proved right yet again."

The first jury verdict in a series of social media child safety trials is in — and it's not looking good for Meta. A jury in New Mexico found on Tuesday that the social media giant's platforms are harmful to children's mental health and imposed a $375 million penalty. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Yesterday we visited Westminster Hall for our Stop Rosebank Mass Lobby event! Thank you to all of our amazing supporters who attended from all across the UK. We met with an incredible 16 MPs and staffers, from across the political spectrum, encouraging them to oppose the Rosebank oil field.

Dr Genevieve Guenther demonstrating how to do science communication right as always: with public error correction. 👏👏👏 Science is trial and error, so is communication. No one gets it right all the time. Public error correction, the hallmark of science & coms integrity, should be celebrated! 🥳🥳🥳

🚨 UPDATE Yesterday I posted that NASA’s website was spreading climate disinformation. This is not true. One page on climate change for middle schoolers contains incorrect facts, but the main site and its pages are, as ever, the gold standard. I regret the error! science.nasa.gov/climate-chan...

“Standard trade models underestimate the impact because they miss the bottleneck mechanism: energy disruptions cascade through chemicals and fertilizer production into food prices, amplifying losses for the world’s poorest countries.”

The global food system is systemically fragile in the same way that the global financial system was before the 2008 crash. If it goes it down, we’re looking, as complex societies, at a potential termination event. This week's column. Please read it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I got nothing. Nothing. Kate Marvel has been an inspiration for me, a top scientist and communicator, presenting the science clearly and with real human emotion and feeling. Destroying US science and NASA so much she is compelled to leave the job she loves is beyond evil.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

The Swiss far right "People's Party" (which appears in the Epstein files in his communications with Steve Bannon) is our country's largest party. It is also campaigning in favour of a straight up white nationalist ecofascist initiative - called the "sustainability initiative."

The Starmer Labour government and his MPs lie so much it is now routine. They lie about the Green Party and its policies, lie about voting polls, lie about supporting the US and Israel in attacking Iran and presumably Lebanon, lie about supporting attacks on Gaza, now lie about AI climate impacts.

UPDATE: The government has deleted the (implausible) analysis of AI emissions referenced in this article from its website 🤔 It has replaced it with a note: "We keep analysis under routine review, and are updating this modelling to ensure it reflects the most up to date assumptions and analysis”

LOUIS AGASSIZ???

[clears throat] Aparna is 100% correct. The sciences (all of them) have heinous ideological fuckery in their history (at best) and present (quite a few). For statistics, it's eugenics and "race science". For mainstream economics, it's the steadfast protection of power and wealth accumulation.

Me: we shouldn't fetishize science/the scientific method as eternal, natural, and moral; that science is a social/cultural/political process; that we shouldn't be disarticulating eugenics from the histories of "legitimate" "science" The comments: You think the Irish are subhuman

"Several states, including the United Kingdom, Spain, Norway and Sierra Leone, urged Libya last week at a United Nations meeting in Geneva to close detention centres where rights groups say migrants and refugees have been tortured, abused and sometimes killed."

Meanwhile, Palantir, the company that is being given access to core UK infrastructure from the NHS to the nuclear weapons, is becoming a core part of the US military system. We’re becoming more and more dependent on a fascist and imperialist government. www.reuters.com/technology/p...

"The world is held together...by the love & the passion of a very few people. Otherwise, of course, you can despair. Walk down the street of any city, any afternoon, & look around you...You could be that person. You could be that monster... you have to decide, in yourself, not to be." James Baldwin

Remember when people were fired for *reposting* accurate quotes from Charlie Kirk after he was killed.

The world energy shock is coming — it will deepen inequality in ways we've seen before. Our new @newstatesman1913.bsky.social piece argues that without urgent government action, the Strait of Hormuz crisis will ripple through our economies and rip apart our societies. Here's why. 1/

Since my recent ADHD and autism diagnosis, I have learned how incredibly lucky I have been: ADHD especially is associated with super bad impulse decisions, resulting in unwanted pregnancies, financial ruin and outright crime. Diagnosing us saves us, saves our life chances. Please sign: 👇

Apparently there is a whole Lenin discourse and I am torn between wanting to figure out what it's about and really wanting to be spared just this once. 🫣 If someone can summarise it and let me know if it's worth my short mortal time on earth to engage, would be grateful. 🙏

Once you notice the rapist/abuser logic you realise it's all rapist/abuser logic.

"Techbro-made stupidity" doesn't have quite the same ring to it, to be fair.

“What was really surprising to me during my initial dive into all of this was how, when you look at the question of superintelligence as a documentarian or journalist, it doesn’t take long before you smack your forehead into the low doorframe of race science, because it’s baked into this technology”

It never ceases to disappoint to open an internet browser and yet again remember that the golden age of the internet ended 15 years ago, and we now converse in a dystopian hellscape surrounded by the burning wreckage of what could had been.

would the war be good if it brought gas prices down, would the murder of thousands be cool if it gave a boost to the GDP

And also from the NYT piece: “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Ms. Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

When you think you're a liberator of your people and you're also sexually abusing women and girls from among those people you're demonstrating that you have trouble recognizing them as people. (And that is way too common.)
