As a pacifist, what I love most about the Fediverse is how it feels like a shared search for peace. We have Caturday, when everyone posts cat pictures every Saturday. There's Mosstodon, which is all about sharing beautiful photos of moss and nature. And we have SilentSunday, where people post […]

RE: https://mamot.fr/@ploum/115938794778974968 This is a great perspective!

"Faith leaders from across the country, and who represent a range of religious traditions, deployed to neighborhoods with significant immigrant populations, where DHS agents have been most active, to observe and document the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, with some clergy […]

A few days ago, a client’s data center "vanished" overnight. My monitoring showed that all devices were unreachable. Not even the ISP routers responded, so I assumed a sudden connectivity drop. The strange part? Not even via 4G. I then suspected a power failure, but the UPS should have sent an […]

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social So what can any of us do? Seriously! We can each have an opinion, a citation, a quote or a comment, my question relates to action.

The latest Veritasium show* is about the Dutch company ASML and its lithographic machines, which are essential for the production of computer chips. They’re the only company that makes these vital machines. 55-minute video: https://youtu.be/MiUHjLxm3V0 * Just calling these productions videos […]

The US is trapped in a permanent election cycle; it’s not an accident. Binary parties, unlimited money, and nonstop campaigning are exhausting generations of voters and blocking true governance. This is an important read on how democracy should work. www.patreon.com/posts/electi... #BindingChaos

The thing to remember when Marjorie Taylor Greene says the occasional sensible or decent thing these days is that she's demonstrating that she's been capable of being sensible and decent all along, but was deliberately choosing not to be.

This third Sunday of Advent, December 14, 2025, a pink to purple #treepeony named #ShimaneChojuraku. It was photographed on April 27, 2025. This plant has enormous, long lasting blooms that are as large as a dinner plate. #floweradventcalendar #Bloomscrolling #gardenadventcalendar

Under first-past-the-post, a few ridings can decide everything. Proportional representation shifts power back to voters across the country and limits the ability of parties to win majorities with shrinking support. It strengthens accountability and reduces regional divisions.

My thoughts on social media bans everywhere is that if you're taking digital connections away from teens, you better make sure they have third spaces for physical connection, and give them options for transport that is not "parents drive us around" otherwise all you're creating is isolation. And […]

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Fall, November, clouds, sunset, waterfront, lake, train whistle , beauty, photography home love miss you

I started out making myself write alt text, because it's really not much to ask and also I try to live according to my own principles: it's obviously the right thing to do. It's become pretty much automatic now, and I've come to rather enjoy it. Little writing challenges every day. How good an […]

Cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war! - @nora Spotted in Portland

"The “big tent” argument works fine if everyone plays by some basic civil rules of understanding. Stuff like code of conducts, moderation, anti-racism, surely those things we agree on? A big tent won’t work if you let in people that want to exterminate the others." Such a wonderful, succint way […]

Good quote.

Over 40 years, we were collectively told to give tax cuts to rich people. And we were told that if we did that, wealth would trickle down and everyone would be better off. Over 40 years, pretty much everything got cut to fund these tax cuts. Schools. Hospitals. Public housing. Public […]

As many I follow also follow this account, just letting you know it is one that attacks climate scientists, as does is the one it’s replying to. Why? Giving up is a defense mechanism against the overwhelming burden of climate anxiety - but it means that anyone who offers hope must be silenced.

And for what @michaelemann.bsky.social and I actually say about doomerism (perhaps this is the “smear” he’s referring to?!), please read: www.sustainableviews.com/the-antidote...

I'm updating satellite numbers for yet another talk. There now 8,077 Starlink satellites in orbit, 1,240 have already been burned up in the atmosphere, depositing all their metal, plastic, and computer bits in the stratosphere as weird vapour (data from […]

The same people who deny that releasing 40+ billion tonnes of chemicals annually into the atmosphere changes our climate think that an airplane spraying a few tonnes of chemicals into the atmosphere definitely does. I want the world to be less stupid, as well as less evil.
