Well done David Cross. This isn't like performing in a country with a bad president eg. Brazil during Bolsanaro. This event is *sponsored by the regime to launder their reputation*. It's the same as performing at Saddam Hussein's party while Uday chucks people into a meat grinder downstairs.

There are only 41,000 coal miners in the United States. By way of comparison, there are 100,000 **registered** yoga teachers, 361,000 Starbucks baristas and 265,000 faculty and staff members working for the University of California system alone.

#Coal jobs in America peaked in 1923. Not a typo. All additional productivity in the coal industry in the 102 years since is due to automation. All added revenue went to the owners of those machines, and the owners of coal mines. #coal #cleanenergy #greensky #renewables #dirtyenergy

This shouldn't need to be said, but coal is failing in the year 2025 because it is more expensive than alternative solutions. You can't polish this lump.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

10 years ago, there was only a single 'leathceann' (windswept) birch tree in the foreground. Now, there's a full-on exploding diverse native rainforest, none of which was planted. All it took was fencing out sheep. Let's rewild the world 🌏

Hosting a panel at SF Climate Week, I asked panellists to wear the oldest (so likely most sustainable) thing they own. I wore my MIL's dress from 1970. One guy had his grandpa's pocket square! I'd love if this was a Thing we climate people did more. #NYCW #ClimateWeek #NewYorkClimateWeek

We gave some figs to some folks and there was something so ancient and lovely about sharing the proverbial fruit of the vine with your neighbor 😍 As it says in Micah 4:4: "For they shall sit every man under his own vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid"

“On Sept. 20, with hidden cameras recording the scene, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case.” Homan was being investigated for allegedly “soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the election” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Pretty good diagram showing the chain of logic

3) My student Priyadarshan - with advice from @kyrib.bsky.social, Constance Crozier and me - modeled electricity demand from ~3 million housing units and ~6 million vehicles in ~3100 continental US counties today, in an all-electric future, and at intermediate electrification levels.

In the late 90s, the company 3M made a disturbing discovery, explains @rachelfrazin.bsky.social. They could not find a single person whose blood was free from forever chemicals. She joins us this week to discuss her latest book, "Poisoning the Well" bigpicturescience.org/episodes/som...

Sen. Bill Cassidy: HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expected you to change the childhood vaccine schedule, despite a lack of science or data to support that move? Former CDC Director Susan Monarez: "Correct."

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Sept. 16, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

⚡️ Ukrainian swarm drone AI startup secures $15 million in record defense investment. "This funding enables us to scale our operations and offer advanced swarming capabilities to every unmanned vehicle, in Ukraine and across NATO-aligned nations," Swarmer CEO Serhii Kupriienko said.

OPINION: "Pronatalists argue that there will be too few workers to sustain the economy and too many older people for those workers to support. However, that is not necessarily true—and even if it were, increasing birth rates wouldn’t fix the problem," Root et al. write. buff.ly/EYgNpNm

BOOKER: Have there been FBI agents who investigate crimes against kids who have been reassigned to immigration enforcement? PATEL: The premise of what you say is entirely false B: You are not denying that FBI agents who investigate human trafficking have been reassigned to immigration enforcement

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

In May 2025, China installed 3 GW per day.

I saw this image yesterday & haven't stopped thinking about it. A healthy lung, the lung of a 14-year-old boy with chronic exposure to air pollution, and a smoker's lung. Report comes out tomorrow, bringing together peer-reviewed research on fossil fuels & health us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

A lot of climate folks have been opposed to the idea of talking about air pollution as opposed to climate, but I know from following all the fringe climate denier dudes for years that their biggest fear is that we will hammer this over and over. Regulating air pollution = regulating GHGs, a win-win

This is one of the traditional stages of grief, which we all know are: • denial • bargaining • depression • ballrooms • acceptance

It is pretty amazing to see people go from “the left is the enemy of democracy and must be purged” to “who can really know why good kids do bad things?”

Today, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives taken on September 11, 2001. We honor the victims, their families, and the first responders who bravely ran toward danger 24 years ago. We will never forget.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Talking with @m-lightstone.bsky.social about how the third Superman movie gave us nightmares as kids and now realizing it also predicted the current buildout of datacenters.

Political violence is always bad, and rarely justified - and certainly not in this case. Condolences to Charlie Kirk's family and friends. Terrible thing to happen.

Zelensky says he spoke with Polish PM Tusk, UK PM Starmer, Italian PM Meloni, and NATO chief Rutte following the latest Russian attack. He stressed this wasn’t a minor incident and added that fragments of Russian drones, including Iranian "Shaheds," were found in many Polish towns and villages.

Lol

Last night in Poland we saw the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began, and indications suggest it was intentional, not accidental. I am in contact with NATO Secretary General Rutte and Poland FM Sikorski. The EU stands in full solidarity with Poland. (1/2)

It is a testament to white nationalist/"nat. con." stupidity to insist, when there is one 'immigration nation' on earth and it is also the richest and most powerful country to have ever existed, that immigration and diversity makes us weaker. Like asking "what makes Usain Bolt so slow?"

Really like @akshatrathi.bsky.social ‘s provocations here, except IMO this requires some more nuance. From the cesspool

8. Too many electric motors use permanent magnets made of rare-earth metals when they don't need to. We will see alternatives emerge.

4. Climate activists seeking an alternative to capitalism will keep failing. They should focus on addressing domestic inequality instead.

3. Vaclav Smil will be wrong that they energy transitions are slow and will remain slow.
