📰 10 years ago TODAY 📰 @insideclimatenews.org published part 1 of its bombshell "Exxon Knew" investigation. The reporting showed how #ExxonKnew its fossil fuel business could cause "potentially catastrophic events" — but then led efforts to deceive the public and block solutions.

"Every country was put on notice by the ICJ that there was a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.. every country became obliged under the law.. not to speak fine words, to take action to prevent genocide.. that obligation was activated on 24th Jan 2024" Chris Sidoti spells it out

A United Nations commission of inquiry says Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza: killing members of a group, causing them serious bodily and mental harm, deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy the group, and preventing births. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Interesting choice of framing by BBC News here

just me & the big screen 🍿

@strongmisgiving.bsky.social On the fairly good chance you're a fan of Couples Therapy I'm submitting this article as a bonus "Dump him, girl" www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Glum day. Getting real tired of going out of my way to do the right thing only to get kicked in the balls for it

I'm never again going to stress about writing a mediocre birthday card message

"Hey Peter, how's the birthday card message going?" "Really fucking creepy, just like you wanted"

every birthday message to epstein is like "dear jeff, you're so rich and so handsome but probably the thing about you i love most is that you're a prolific child predator. never change <3"

Translated out of Quaker, this is the sound of Arnold Schwarzenegger reloading a shotgun one-handed. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it? Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

fabulous rumors naturally grow out of the very body of all surprising terrible events,—as the smitten tree gives birth to its fungi

UK should stop investing in carbon capture for power, government adviser says. #CCS “a gift to the oil and gas industry, and carry on the fiction that somehow enormous amounts of public money should enable them to keep doing it”. www.ft.com/content/5595...

me and who

Frank Frazetta had a commission for what would be Neanderthals that, when he went to start(at 8pm), found out he had no canvas to paint on, so he went down into his basement, smashed up the floor, cut out a piece of Mesonite, and still turned it in on time the next morning. Absurd.

I'm at the Frank Frazetta museum and it whips ass

the full terror of the voyage must be kept withdrawn into the obscure background

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it". This book has never hit harder. 💙📚 #Booksky #TerryPratchett #GNU

I would be happy if I never heard the name Graham Linehan again, but I do feel the need to comment, because the nature of a lot of the abuse trans people receive is straight up sexual harassment, but is not recognized as such because the victim is trans. What Glinner is doing is sexual harassment.

Niche I know but I do not care for the BFI Player's new layout. Not one bit

I've watched this about 12 times and now I'm going to watch it again

I so want to go.

once again leviathan returns to his native profundities, sliding along beneath the surface as before; but, alas! never more to rise

Asking politicians about flags is the new ‘asking politicians to define a woman’ is the new ‘asking politicians about NOTHING OF ANY IMPORTANCE TO ACTUAL PEOPLE THUS DOING A DISSERVICE TO ALL PEOPLE.’ Current level of public discourse is sub-sixth form.

@realgdt.bsky.social will Frankenstein be getting a theatrical release in Edinburgh? Perhaps at the newly 're-animated' @filmhouseedinburgh.bsky.social ...

The castle I've used as the basis for the setting of the anti-colonial Scottish horror series I'm pitching right now is for sale again. If anyone with a spare £750k would like to buy it as a set I would be very grateful search.savills.com/property-det...

There are tons of graphic novels, academic papers, film and TV scripts, & prose novels/nonfiction on the LibGen list Anthropic used. As settlement approaches, make it easy for the class action lawyers to contact you! Here’s how Part 1: is your work in Libgen? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I want a QR code on a tee shirt that uploads hostile malware to any AI powered glasses that look at it.

In 2008 I met a climate scientist from Mali who was advocating for this so long that he looked exhausted. Absolutely amazing man. He was working so hard on this. And then I see numbers like this and my heart just soars. Youba Sokona, you (and your peers) really did it. www.ipcc.ch/people/youba...

Hello. Your Jewish pal here. This is fucked, and it doesn't keep me or my family safe. Quite the opposite, in fact. Thanks.

Times: "Asylum protests swell across the UK " headline, reporting an underwhelming wave. Leeds "draws 70" Cardiff "disorganised + small" Altrincham "*swelled* to around 200" Cheshunt about 250 Chichester: about 100 Portsmouth: about 70 v 70 on each side www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Suggestion to improve news reporting: stop telling us what they SAY and start telling us what they DO

This is what Keir Starmer and his parade of nodding dog ministers have enabled. Last summer my partner was forced to work at home because a hit list of immigration law offices had been circulated online. A senior lawyer was physically attacked in their place of work. This has got to stop.

Hugely important libel victory for the Guardian vs actor/director Noel Clarke. There are "strong grounds to believe he is a serial abuser of women".

The Guardian has successfully defended a libel action brought by the actor Noel Clarke over an investigation by the newspaper in which he was accused of sexual misconduct by more than 20 women. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

Love watching other cities do things my city constantly says are impossible

Every single mainstream media outlet LIED and LIED and LIED about almost every aspect of the Marks & Spencer non-story. Organised transphobia is basically a lie machine, it cannot engage in its campaign against trans people’s lives without systematic dishonesty.

I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

Your daily reminder: "The overnight rule" - anyone who says something like 'you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight' is actually arguing for phasing them out as slowly as possible, and arguing against a made-up person to cover and distract from this archive.ph/C0vh3 [article from Oct 2023]

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.
