Rage Against the Miocene. (I love the Miocene, but we're not prepared to live in it!)

Absolutely. My personal politics (fwiw) were/are Atlanticist, but its game over for all that now. UK/Can/Nor/EU have to eliminate or minimise all any dependency on US now.

NEW: One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, internal memos estimated. The USAID programs were cut anyway. By Brett Murphy and @annamaria.bsky.social

HOT RESEARCH NEWS! Motonormativity ("car brain") is a bias that stops people making rational judgements about driving en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motonor... Our new study shows where this bias comes from AND how it makes people think they're odd for supporting changes to the transport system 🧵

Eric Adams is now going maga on deportations and whatever else Trump wants. Even worse. Hochul could remove him, as could the city’s committee. He has a blatant set of conflicts. She should do so. Now.

We need more of this. This dancer will pay a career cost for their bravery and willingness to speak truth to power. Courage is contagious. No one does something like this without feeling the fear ahead of time. They choose to do it anyway. We can all learn from that.

Waste and fraud? Has the Pentagon dropped its investigation into Musk's abuse of its own reporting rules? newrepublic.com/article/1913...

It's hard to convey how barrier breaking this is. Weather + climate people have always collaborated internationally, simply because weather does not respect national borders. Even during the Cold War, US + Russia shared weather observations. To be told this is to be told to "stop doing your job"

“Critical Mass” is back in Toronto because of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s vindictive and dangerous war on safe bike infrastructure and successful city-building. This was last night. #CriticalMass #Toronto #BikeLanes

If I pay taxes, I want infrastructure that serves me as well. Cars already have roads--where's my segregated bike path?

A historic moment: Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo rises to applause as the bioclimatic local urban plan revision PLU is finally adopted by the City Council on November 20, 2024 at 6 p.m. This key document, shaping the city's development and construction rules for years, hadn’t been revised since 2006: 🧵 🔽
