And now for something completely different. @pentatonemusic.bsky.social is having an Easter sale on your favorite classical discs. I love them!

they might look fun, but oh how much damage is done...

@governor.ny.gov wants to delay releasing state regulations to lower GHG pollution by 5 years. This is going to cost NYers up to $9,000 in energy bills, 150,000 jobs, and up to $60 billion in lost revenue. Bottom line: our leaders need to govern, not delay doing their job.

Now the USA is suspending the Endangered Species Act to allow more drilling in the Gulf Of Mexico to bring down high gas prices from our invasion of Iran. It bears remembering the BP Deepwater Horizon Spill. How many endangered species were killed? how much economic damage was done to fishermen?

Grift all the way down

I drink much less than most people think, and I think much more than most people would believe. I am quite sincere about some of the things which people take very lightly, and almost insultingly unconcerned about some of the things which people take most seriously. Hunter S Thompson

Kill those whales in the name of national security. Of course we should

Anthropic are only the good guys when compared to ChatGPT

I guess MBS is a good person to guide USA policy

Put them in jail. Make them pay for treatment

Time to put on the brakes

"It is outrageous that people will be buying homes that are expensively heated with gas when we have perfectly good technology – heat pumps – that can be installed instead." My comments @theguardian.com new homes in the UK still using gas heating. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Do we repeat our mistakes?!

Time for him to go

Haven’t we been down this road before?

Sarcasm seems the only response

Some of the things your defense dollars buy: -$98,329 Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home -$2 million for Alaskan king crab -$6.9 million worth of lobster tail -$15.1 million for ribeye steak -$124,000 for ice cream machines -$139,224 on 272 orders of doughnuts

Of course hackers are breaking in to the FBI systems...

Harriet Tubman was here! Fields Point and Combahee River wetlands. The Combahee River Raid, guided by Tubman, stopped here first, engaged the Confederate pickets. The exhibit will open again at Hampton University Museum in April. #Rice #ACEbasin #Slaver #Liberation #Freedomseekers #Landscape #Tubman

When we play God, it ends in disaster. Playing a chemistry game with ocean acidity will end badly... Climate engineering is not the answer to bad behavior.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region. Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat. We live in Orwellian times.

The costs of supporting Israel’s war on Iran: - Dead American soldiers - Dead elementary schoolgirls - Over $1 Billion/day for combat ops - Soaring gas prices - Tanking markets - Betrayed GCC allies - Another constitutional crisis …and growing.

This is an absolutely massive shock that's feeding through global markets. Disorderly conditions building... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/what-iran-...

Because who needs protection from chemical disasters?

They want to build a $5 Billion power plant on the site of a demolished coal burner on the Edisto River. Construction costs charged to ratepayers, and the utility executives take a percentage of the construction cost. #incentivized #climatecrisis #boondoggle

SCOOP: The Department of Energy has made public a set of newly revised nuclear safety rules that slash security and environmental protections. @npr.org first reported on the existence of the rules last month. www.npr.org/2026/02/26/n...

They would never resort to unethical ploys would they?

Can you believe that politicians accepted money for their votes?

Of course they want to use AI to track and kill people. Duh. I hope #Anthropic holds firm! #Precrime is here #PhilipKDick

My good friend Shaila Edmonds talking about the experience of being a black model before it was "fashionable"

I'm thrilled to say Plastic Inc is out today, shifting the lens on plastic from where it ends up to where it comes from — the fossil fuel industry. "Deeply researched, sharply written & totally compelling," says @elizkolbert.bsky.social "Breath-taking & revelatory"— @christopherleonard.bsky.social
