As angry as we might be at Democratic leaders, we are still not angry enough.

This is a super interesting thread. Give it a read

ok it is easy to dunk on this, but, we must remember, it is also v v important to do so

~ 4,946 gallons (18,722 liters). ~ 33,147 lbs (15,035 kg) of jet fuel used. ~ $27,796 cost of fuel. ~ 52 tons of CO2 emissions.

"Hidden inside this rubble is a silent killer" A report on asbestos in Gaza

Ppl on bsky barely talk about this stuff. It's depressing to see how little some folks care.

the Nissan Pao is one of the all-time high scorers on the only automotive benchmark that matters: the "would an eccentric detective drive this around while solving crimes?" vibe check

Imagine! How could wind and solar ever compete with fossil fuel electricity across an entire year, across an entire block of 450 million people!?😉

I know we're all seeing 87 unhinged things per day, but "guys if our multi billion dollar product doesn't start being useful for something, literally anything, the people might not appreciate us wrecking the planet over it anymore" is a truly bananapants thing to say out loud

All it takes for Trump to change his mind is for some journalist to ask him whether he really means it. The problem with Trump is that journalists have incredible policy formation power now that a single leading question can give him an idea, which then becomes policy instantly in a live interview

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

Weird how "you don't understand how *big* the country is" doesn't seem to hold China back from doing things.

China has the largest: - Installed capacity of wind power (absolute) - Output of wind farms (absolute) - Annual additions of wind capacity + the same %'age share of wind as the US, NZ, Norway, Italy despite being.....extremely large Wind generated 18% more than solar did in China, in 2024

Definitely worth poking your head into the report, which is much less about current or ongoing threats (like data centres, which understandably aren't a focus in this context) and more about the massive irreversible failures we should be learning to avoid collections.unu.edu/eserv/UNU:10...

"Israel and the Zionist project became repositories of redemptive blessings. Jerusalem – not the capital but its political operators – supplied what Germany required most: a certificate of moral rehabilitation, a means of affirming love for Jews without the inconvenience of Jewish plurality."

I had no idea about this btw - there is already a european PDS for bsky underway. how cool bsky.app/profile/euro...

This is super cool!

You could say "I don't know what's wrong with the ignorant people who voted for this!" Or you could say "I'm finally ready to acknowledge that I know exactly what's wrong with the ignorant people who voted for this."

If Americans redirected just *half* of the energy they expend boasting on the internet that their country is so big that literally every problem is unsolvable into actually *solving* those problems, Trump would be history, climate change would be solved and we'd probably have a colony on Mars.

Why are these people such crybabies?

This is disappointing: Why aren’t we doing even more negativity toward AI?

Analyzing Trump’s musings is a fool’s errand— he’s incoherent, he lies as he breathes, and he makes stuff up. We cannot use his speech to guess whether he plans to use force against Greenland, wants to keep NATO, etc. There’s no point in headlines announcing « Trump rules out/plans XYZ »

For all the politicians ignoring Palestine, Sudan, & Congo—just imagine it's Greenland. And that same righteous anger you have over Trump attacking Greenland, apply to Black and brown nations too. This is what it means to recognize that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." 2/2

If nothing else, pretty amazing Canadian PM Carney said the quiet part out loud today: international law has never been real and the ‘rules’ of the international order have never applied to the US and its allies. This may indeed be the actual death of neoliberalism. globalnews.ca/news/1162087...

I don't think this is quite accurate, but it gets at something important. I don't think most of us are "angry" at Americans. People are angry at America, and disappointed at the number of (white) Americans who refuse to face the full scope of the problem.

i feel like Americans don't get the level of eye-rolling this is getting from Europe

Every AI-touting tech bro wienie needs to get atomic-wedgied into the moons of Saturn. These unimaginative enemies of humanity crowed about the inevitability of AI and now they’re begging us “Pweaze use our widdle baby AI, it hurts our honey boo-boo fee-fees when you turn off Gemini.”

Quelle surprise

This god guy seems super judgmental

Razer is "partnering with Grok"? Help me out here, folks. If hanging out in a Nazi bar makes you a Nazi what does it mean if you form a business partnership with a Nazi bar?

US senator wouls like random people on the internet to impeach Trump for him

incredible stuff

Reminder: Troops are still deployed in NYC subways, under the Biden administration's direction, as ordered by Kathy Hochul, both Dems. The National Guard is in NYC subways supposedly to "fight crime," even though NYC crime is at close to historic lows🤡 1000 troops have been there since March 2024

Extraordinary article from the Secretary General of the Council of Europe. But I’m going to say this again, where are the Democrats saying that any illegal or forced annexation of Greenland will be reversed as soon as they take power. Why aren’t they making this clear www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

I will not ask Palestinians or anyone else to be uniquely concerned with antisemitism, that’s nasty business while they are facing genocide and colonization And I think our movements must be flexible enough to oppose antisemitism and wise enough to understand Palestinians aren’t responsible for it

I’m howling.

Vi er desværre nødt til at inddrage ordet "bazooka" fra alle politiske journalister og korrespondenter. I kan tydeligvis ikke administrere det.

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

the fact that Republican senators like Schmitt can’t even write a fascist screed on their own and instead have to rely on chatGPT perfectly captures the unique combination of evil and stupid that defines the modern Republican Party

The top 10% now account for nearly half of all consumer spending.

A comic from 2022 on the dangers of unaccountability and kicking the can down the road. As recent elections demonstrate, voting is still extremely important.

There’s a video I saw recently interviewing a guy at a Minnesota protest where the interviewer starts to ask “are you worried this could take us to a dark pla—“ and the guy explodes, “we’re already in the dark place! Look around! They’re murdering us! We’re already here!”

To underline the point that a lot of Americans have a cartoon understanding of dictatorships, consider that even Hitler had to worry about public opinion and in fact one of the key functions of the gestapo was assessing the mood of the country.

It is one of the many many signs that had been there all along about how fundamentally incurious and up-her-own-ass JKR was, how unwilling to research or learn anything new, how unwilling and incapable of seeing anything from anyone else's perspective or understanding interests not her own.

Every once in awhile I get angry about Quidditch all over again, and how it seems to so *aggressively* not understand the entire concept of sports, or why people like sports, or how sports works.

I am old enough to remember when Americans thought this guy was a leader
