part of me wants to write something reflecting on this deranged year and another part thinks living through it once was enough

A very fine choice

You know this will gnaw at him all week.

Merry Christmas to those that actively observe!

It’s wild! -70°F in Canada today. The coldest December reading in 50+ years (since 1975!) Meanwhile the US is En Fuego with 100s of record highs! Dallas hit 81 today. And the contrast is huge, over 150°F across North America. H/T 🎩 to @ThierryGooseBC

Things are really not good around the North Pole. Anomalous warmth continues, alongside record low #Arctic sea ice conditions. Nearly every time I check the data, there seems to be yet another new record this fall. More graphics: zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...

This year’s Presidential Christmas card.

Do you ever think about how utterly useless 99% of famous people are? Imagine watching a bunch of hunger strikes die and not use your fame to save them...

Oh yeah Global TV (in Canada or by VPN) has the full uncut 60 Minutes story on its 60 Minutes rebroadcast. CBS must have sent them the original tape.

This is postmarked 2019

70 environmental defenders & conservationists who died in 2025 Environmental progress often depends on endurance, sustained over years, by people whose work mattered long before their names did. news.mongabay.com/2025/12/envi...

The Weather Prediction Center warns of a high (>70%) chance of flash flooding in Southern California on Thursday. This is a rare issuance of a HIGH RISK Day 3 excessive rainfall outlook. High risk days are extremely dangerous from a deadly flooding perspective.

I am genuinely grateful for @dwallacewells.bsky.social to come on @scitalkofficial.bsky.social to discuss several important key issues related to climate change. Watch here 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 youtu.be/nL2kwemaSfE?...

As CBS News falls apart please admire this marble bust of Bari Weiss that is installed at the fake unaccredited university she co-founded with Joe Lonsdale. Their U. of Austin is reportedly also falling apart, with faculty leaving and enrollment crashing, so we shall see where the bust ends up.

Congress’s three favorite lines: 1. Sorry we can’t do anything, we’re in the minority 2. Sorry we can’t do anything, we need a supermajority 3. Sorry we can’t do anything, our party’s in the White House and we have to support the president

Confirmed: House Democratic leaders have decided to use a stock trading ban bill as a campaign issue rather than actually pass something that had the GOP support to advance. Jeffries' team is actively discouraging participation in the bipartisan bill and warning outside groups too.

You’d be hard pressed to find a more positive, solutions oriented climate campaigner than Mike Hudema. This is his latest post. Scientists, activists, climate journalists have a new posture lately that resembles something like desperation. Mainstream news is killing us. #ClimateActionNow

Dems rely on people forgetting or not paying attention to how horrible they are.

The 30-year non-linear extrapolation now shows +3°C in 2049! I consider this unlikely but not impossible (considering Earth's Energy Imbalance has more than doubled). From a precautionary principle perspective we should plan accordingly.

Great piece from a few yrs back about how full of sh*t Dems are about the climate cliff we’re a few years away from falling off of. www.levernews.com/that-was-me-...

Predictably there r a bunch of “vibes” white liberals telling me Repubs are 100% to blame for climate inaction. If anyone with even a glancing familiarity of the current climate science AND who wants to argue why Dems r the answer wants to have a conversation I’m open to it.

I dunno how one can claim to be against fascism, and then... aid fascism at the same time.

One of the pro-Palestinian remand prisoners nearing death on hunger strike in England has been taken to hospital after 46 days of refusing food

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027. And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should. #climatecrisis #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/two-yea...

"how can someone not at least find it interesting watching a whole planet shift geological ages in the blink of an eye?" Hear, hear!

With a dozen crazy events like this now happening every day I almost admire the discipline it takes for corp news & white liberals to still, even as we cross 1.5C warming, pretend we’re not in a real time global emergency.

Anyone in Colorado in this area should have go bags packed and an escape route pre-planned. This has a chance to be a catastrophic fire event.

Reminder that their goal is to turn the U.S. into a white rule apartheid state. And so far they’re right on track.

I wrote about NYT, CNN, and ABC’s casual acceptance that US dictates and Trump’s arbitrary use of American violence against Venezuela is somehow a form of “international” law. It’s not, and US media should stop implying and/or outright lying that it is.

All of you still calling this the lesser evil...you are evil yourself

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests. They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full denial of reality. 🤯

absolutely fucking not

It is kind of funny to say that AIPAC does not support your campaign while AIPAC's president hosts a fundraiser at his house

Gavin Newsom is Mitt Romney for the Democrats, a department store mannequin who will lose in a general election

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

The rest of the media was totally irresponsible for not running with this headline: novaramedia.com/2025/12/15/n...

My favourite movie line. Thank you Rob Reiner.

I so wish THE SURE THING were streaming somewhere, because I can tell from some of the very appreciative posts about Rob Reiner that a lot of people don’t know it. I’m not sure what happened to it rights-wise, but it’s a real shame.

POV: Big Oil explains the weather they caused.

the good that you do persists in this world

I have grown to believe that excessive wealth does something to your brain that is analogous to a serious head injury

This man is a hero who saved countless lives. He's the best of humanity during the worst of it.

Incredible! Mass shootings are now so common in the US that this was the second shooting experienced by two survivors www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sharing this because it's funny.
