New article!! "The Political Power of Eschatological Thinking: This Is Why Peter Thiel Is Talking About the Antichrist." There's almost nothing more intoxicating or dangerous than apocalypticism. My take on Thiel's Antichrist obsession: it's about power and control. 👇

If you're a @drilledmedia.bsky.social listener you know I think social scientists are key sources if we want to understand why governments haven't acted on climate.

11/11 The standing ovation became a powerful & divisive symbol in Canada's Parliament, forcing MPs to make a difficult choice between condemning political violence & refusing to honour a legacy they see as defined by dangerous and hateful rhetoric.

👏 Wise words from John Vaillant: “Are we going to cling to the 20th century status quo—or evolve together to lower the temperature and protect what makes life possible?” That collective action starts today as we #DrawTheLine! @johnvaillant.bsky.social #SeniorsForClimate #LaterIsTooLate

I can't find the author on X that talked about kicking Hungary out. Here is a similar stance as far as I remember from an Oxford Law Professor Emeritus verfassungsblog.de/walking-out-...

Home decarbonization is a no-brainer to meet Canada's GHG targets. That's being undermined by each and the combination of: repeal of the consumer carbon tax, restricting eligibility for heat pump rebates, and termination of Greener Homes loans. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/18/n...

Maybe apropos of nothing, but Ukrainian President Zelenskyy was a wildly popular comedian -- standup, sketch comedy and then a defining sitcom role as a schoolteacher who is unexpectedly elected president. Then he ran for president in 2019 and got 73% of the vote.

🇪🇪 Estonia will completely stop importing Russian natural gas from 2026. The government announced the decision on September 18. Currently, the country can import Russian liquefied natural gas as long as it is not used in the distribution network.

A proper response to Charlie Kirk's legacy:

BREAKING: Eric Swalwell just told the FCC chairman to hire a lawyer and preserve records because they will be held accountable in 2027 when democrats take the House. Oh and he’s wearing a Jimmy Kimmel hat.

Six weeks, four courts, two counties, dueling rulings and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal expenses later, Ken Paxton’s case against Beto O'Rourke seems on the brink of collapse.

The EU is preparing to speed up its phaseout of Russian liquefied natural gas, potentially ending imports before the originally planned 2027 deadline after Trump urged the bloc to take stronger steps against Moscow. The provision is expected to be part of the EU’s upcoming sanctions package.
