I don’t care about the price of oil, I care that Iranians are being poisoned with toxic fumes. What the fuck is wrong with us?

"Venezuela's oil is 'among the dirtiest oils [..] when it comes to global warming.'" "For Beard's home and dozens of other Black communities along the Gulf Coast in Louisiana and Texas, 'that's going to be more pollution and cancer.'" #Texas #Louisiana #USA #Venezuela #FossilFuels #Climate

The fact that RFK Jr. and Trump are recommending the American public increase their meat and butter consumption is going to turn me from a friendly vegan into a militant one.

Every year people joke about not knowing when Hanukkah is. It's 25 Kislev. Hope this helps.

This is the most New York Times of all the New York Times that the New York Times has ever New York Timed.

We did it!!!!! I love you New York, goodnight!

The Hasidic Jewish Community Council of Williamsburg is endorsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social today 🗽💞 Honestly happy (and slightly surprised of myself) to say: I am once again proud of the neighborhood I was raised in, the Hasidic community in Williamsburg! www.williamsburg365.com/news/brookly...

Last night I saw TV On the Radio, a band I’ve loved since high school and there were all these random Phish fans. I myself a Phish fan remembered that Phish covered Golden Age and I guess they must have gotten a chunk of their fan base into TVOTR.

When you devote your life to the message that empathy is evil and gun deaths are an acceptable price to pay for gun rights, you shape the world with your words. Maybe Charlie Kirk didn’t expect to be a victim of his own worldbuilding, but his death is consistent with the world he helped create.

When Trump renamed the Department of Defense to Department of War, I did not balk at all. Actually, my first reaction was a sigh of relief. I thought “well at least he didn’t go full Orwell and name it the Department of Peace.”

"The developers behind the project had said it was on track to produce enough electricity for more than 350,000 homes in Rhode Island and Connecticut by next spring."

Most vegans aren’t handwringing about indigenous farming practices, but it’s always people consuming factory farmed meat that are like “but what about indigenous people!” Dawg you are not doing indigenous practices you are going to Trader Joe’s.

I’m sorry to break this news but Jerry Garcia would have worn Crocs.

Grok has fallen

Came on Bluesky to confirm if others felt the earthquake in New York City since I no longer can rely on our post-DOGE defunded government institutions for accurate information.

ah yes stop and frisk, which was ruled unconstitutional and thus not "perfectly legal," would have for sure prevented the nevada resident from bringing his south carolina manufactured ar-15 into manhattan and the senator from louisiana is for sure in a position to decide for the residents of nyc

I don’t know why in the post Covid era year of our lord 2025 that people do not wear KN95 masks in festival porta potties. It makes it an actually tolerable experience.

The crazy thing about Ozzy Osbourne is that he was the Prince of Darkness and a progenitor of heavy metal but also a wholesome family man on a reality TV show where he couldn’t work a DVD player like every other boomer.

A new study in JAMA shows how proximity to Coldwater Creek, where nuclear waste from the Manhattan Project was improperly stored, affected cancer rates over the decades.

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

Anyone who knows the history of Jews in Christian Europe AND the history of Jews in the Islamic world knows that Jews were always safer in cities governed by Muslims.

I’ve never been more proud to be a New Yorker than today, and if you know me you know I am already very proud to be a New Yorker.

So I just want to be clear that the gentile President's anti-immigrant goons illegally assaulted and kidnapped the leading Jewish candidate for Mayor in New York City for walking into a federal building for the crowd that is keeping track of The Antisemitism Problem

The four main languages of NYC are English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Car Horn.

❗️UPDATED❗️This is SATURDAY not Sunday!

The carnivore diet has to be the biggest grift of the decade. A handful of attractive social media influencers w/ dubious credentials in nutrition who are very obviously paid by the meat/dairy industry or selling their own supplements convinced thousands of people that vegetables are bad for you.

This Holocaust Remembrance Day I am thinking of my great great uncle Shlomo, an autistic boy who was shot dead at his front door by the Nazis. Genocide is the logical conclusion of the dehumanization of disabled and neurodivergent people. Have we learned nothing?

Can scientists trace climate losses back to the emissions from individual fossil fuel companies? Yes, we can. The inimitable @ccallahan45.bsky.social and I provide an 'end-to-end' attribution framework that can be applied in many climate accountability contexts: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Women’s health already is grossly under studied and research underfunded. This is devastating.

The women’s health initiative has followed tens of thousands of women for more than 30 years and provided invaluable information on topics like hormone replacement and cancer. Jay Bhattacharya cutting this program will not only hurt women, it’s also just a colossal waste to lose such an investment.

Sorry, y'all did not follow me to hear me rant about Early Modern European history. I promise I will go back to the regular scheduled programming about public health.

Henry VIII was one of the biggest misogynists in history but nobody talks about him that way. Six wives this, Church of England that. Yeah, he divorced or beheaded four of his wives for not bearing sons! Elon Musk gets called "world's most divorced man" but that title belongs to Henry VIII.

“So you’ve completely left Twitter, huh?” Yeah I am sorry but I don’t like going on the website where the average post is a conspiracy theory about how George Soros secretly did the Holocaust or that trans people were responsible for the LA fires.

He is a leading nutrition scientist who linked ultra processed foods to diabetes and obesity.

Some of the smartest people I know are autistic. Many brilliant thinkers, writers, artists, scientists, inventors, etc were or are autistic.

Before the election I had already decided to do my master’s thesis on anti-science & public health disinformation, climate denialism, and drug war propaganda but wow has MAHA given me so much to work with.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

Fully plant-based diets slash climate-heating emissions, water pollution, and land use by 75%. It reduces wildlife destruction by 66% and cuts water use by 54%. The science is conclusive: traditional meat consumption is incompatible with net-zero targets. medium.com/@herbivor...

Another climate change and infectious disease mashup. 😬 Infectious viral particles remain infectious when indoor CO2 is above 800 ppm. As outdoor CO2 increases, ventilating indoor spaces to keep us safe becomes harder.

MAHA preys on Americans' poor science literacy and harnesses their very real outrage about the abysmal state of public health and health care in the United States to get them to buy into pseudoscience "solutions" like the carnivore diet, anti-seed oils, anti-vax, etc.

“You’re vegan, where do you get your protein?” You’re a carnivore, where do you get your fiber?

What is the reasoning behind the elimination of income-driven repayment plans on federal student loans? I'm pretty sure it won't save any money because the federal government would lose out on the interest capitalization on IDR loans with twenty year terms as opposed to loans with 10 year terms.

PSA: people being annoyed that weather forecasts seem to be particularly sucking all of a sudden is a great entry point to talking about why NOAA cuts are bad ✌️

"Many of the world’s largest shipping nations decided on Friday to impose a minimum tax of $100 for every ton of carbon dioxide emitted by ships...effectively the first global tax on greenhouse gas emissions." apnews.com/article/ship...

It’s not a coincidence that the carnivore diet and animal-based beauty products are surging in popularity as fascism rises.

Trump signs executive order targeting law firm Susman Godfrey; Republican-led US House votes to limit judges' power to block Trump's agenda; And US appeals court sides with Trump, clears way to fire thousands of federal workers. Read more in The Daily Docket. Subscribe: reut.rs/4bYtR5B
