New video up! This one is a special guest episode with @jamesfeltonkeith.bsky.social who is running for US Congress in NY's 13th district with universal basic income as a key part of his "We Owe Us" platform. Whose work trained AI? Ours did. All of us. Data is labor.

60%+ of Israelis surveyed don't thing the abuses of Palestinian prisoners should be investigated. 84% say the IDF should get an excellent or very good grade for *moral conduct*. 62.5% say a 'terrorist' should be murdered even if they don't pose a threat. www.israelhayom.co.il/news/geopoli...

This video does a great job in outlining what an absolute fraud Wakefield is.

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

One day while I was desiring desiring, I started to desire the desiring I was desiring before I desired the desired desiring that I first desired after the desired desiring.

Is it just me or is it fucking bananas to have <any> fossil fuel lobbyists at global climate conference?

While the timing is probably related,it needs to be understood that Trump and his fellow fascists would absolutely be attacking Venezuela no matter what. Treating the carnage that will inevitably result in an invasion of the country like a "distraction" is incredibly insulting.

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm. The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song. This is the story of this terrible tragedy. 🧵1/20

The Canadien Government has made an ad about the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG terminal & PRGT Pipeline, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

In #Budget2025, Canada describes $2.7 billion in cuts to international assistance as “savings.” But let’s be clear Mark Carney: aid cuts aren’t savings. They cost people's lives: https://ow.ly/iGPq50XoytN#Budget2025#cdnpoli

Revolutionary Escalation, Semi-Authoritarian “Normalization,” or a Democratic Turnaround? One year after the election: What we can say with certainty about the state of the Trumpist assault, where uncertainty lies, and where America might go from here. New piece:

Remember that ceasefire everyone praised Trump for securing between Israel & Gaza? Netanyahu just massacred 104 Palestinian civilians, including 46 children, on the mere accusation that Hamas handed over the 'wrong' corpse HE MASSACRED 46 CHILDREN & I doubt you've heard one media outlet mention it

A couple of relevant things that really should be kept in mind regarding Musk's claim that Wikipedia is guilty of left wing bias; He is a fucking fascist and he is a fucking idiot.

In the year 2025 no one gets any fucking points for recognizing climate change is real. It's like crediting someone for doubting flat earthers' claims. #gates

The Trump Administration is an assembly of koolaid drinking trolls who can’t see how insane they are. Problem is the press corps actively covers this up and Democrats are too cowardly to beat on it like a drum.

The United States will never get any better if people refuse to see the forest. There are far more profound reasons for American fascism (and the global re-emergence of the far right) than eBay bailing out Paypal.

Gaza officials said Israeli forces have broken the tenuous weeklong truce 47 times, killing 38 Palestinians and wounding 143 more.

To dehumanize a group of people who are different from us simplifies life enormously. Even if we don’t go to war with them, we free ourselves from having to try to understand them.

None of this is particularly surprising. But it's nevertheless utterly shocking! There's no measure of restraint at all. No trace of any residual sense of commitment to something even remotely recognizable as a democratic political culture. It is so unhinged. These people have made their choice.

The fact that not only is the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is still increasing, but the *rate of CO2 increasing* in the atmosphere is still increasing is true nightmare stuff.

Atmospheric CO2 concentrations "surged" last year - a record yearly increase It's bad enough that we're continuing to burn fossil fuels, but now the world's natural carbon sinks (like the forests going up in flames) are failing too Fuck

I wrote this a year ago. It stands up pretty well. In the year since, tho, I think we may have crossed a threshold of inability—as societies and individuals—to fully meet the climate crisis. Understanding what's changing will help you make better decisions under accelerating climate pressures. 🧵1

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".
