Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new. This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

What's horrifying about this graph is that we're emitting CO2 from fossil hydrocarbons NOW at four times the rate we were when I was a child, and twice the rate we were in 1972, when we already knew that #ClimateChange was an existential problem. Source […] [Original post on mastodon.scot]

It sometimes surprises me to learn that there are people who don't know that one of the first really big datasets used to train and evaluate computer language and social models was (and still is) a bunch of internal emails from Enron. Yes, that Enron. Collected as part of the investigation into […]

Sometimes you meet a parent of a kid you teach and it takes all the self control in the world, when they say "I'm Joe's mom" NOT to say "I can see that!"

I love the USPS www.today.com/popculture/m...

here's something cool: the son of the letter carrier on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood (McFeely) is a real letter carrier for the USPS and he's our letter carrier and he's awesome

I have to tell you, and yes I’m drunk, but if I were a Christian who thought I’d someday face Jesus, the idea of explaining why I took food out of the mouths of the poor ON PRINCIPLE? I’d be scared shitless.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits. The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

It's still so weird to me that the idea of universal healthcare is so political here. It's a given in so many other places, and I miss it. And people don't realize how good it is for innovation. You can take so many more risks when your health and well-being aren't tied to a salaried employer.

The Supreme Court has issued an administrative stay, putting off the need for the Trump regime to comply with lower court orders to fully fund SNAP food benefits. Justice Jackson issued the order giving a strange reason for it IMO. 1/ #lawfedi […]
