One thing about climate change: it disproves the capitalist ideology that poor people's suffering is their own fault. Billionaires emit as much in a day as the world's 4 billion poorest emit in a yr, yet those 4 billion humans suffer most from climate impacts. This is inequality, and it is evil.

Africa has more than a point- they are absolutely right. WHAT IF WE JUST STOPPED USING FOSSIL FUELS INSTEAD OF THIS SHIT

@doctorvive.bsky.social 2 chapters from Language of Climate Politics book have stayed with me: Cost and Resilience. Cost because the Nordhaus 3 degC is OK argument explains why many folk think the weather & effects will not be too bad. And Resilience because as you point out we need transformation.

all I see are "they're not engineers" "that's not what engineering is" I want a thick good really real piece to sink my teeth in about all the parts of this that ARE "like engineering"

Good. I'm glad this is the headline. This is the real story. Thank you to the BBC.

I noticed this in the North West during sunrise and asked my brother with PhD in clouds @yanndu.bsky.social what it was. Turns out it's very rare phenomena called "anticrepuscular rays" or "God rays" 😍🌤

A lot of work went into this piece, and it is well worth reading – and saving. Thank you, Michelle. #Texas

Concerning: for a high emissions scenario, the model found a 37% increase in daily extreme precipitation over land by 2100. “Much of the increase was driven by shifts in wind patterns that created chains of severe thunderstorms hundreds of kilometers long that traditional models fail to capture.”

I like the "Claudes" for software dev assistance. What are decent LLMs for English usage assistance (or maybe just look in Barzun, Simple and Direct)?

@deck.blue i just moved my bsky account to myatproto.social (thx blacksky.community) and DeckBlue picked right up where it left off. Nice work. (and ++ for decentralization and federation)

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning. And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Yes, this is correct. And the reason is because our capitalist classes have decided that it is not sufficiently profitable, so they're not going to do it. We must understand this reality. Capital *cannot* be relied upon to address the climate crisis.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.

This is exactly what the entire Dem message should be. Every single Dem should be out there saying this every single day.

A Nazi Tattoo Exposes Democrats’ Greatest Weakness www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o... @tressiemcphd.bsky.social is unmatched. Read her latest piece—and everything else she writes.

Fantastic essay. Maybe my favorite part, and a great rallying cry:

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Climate is the defining context of our time. Preventing people from understanding that — and then acting with appropriate urgency — is the core strategy of predatory delay.

The president of the United States has said *multiole times* that he hates Americans who are democrats. That is a FUCKING HUGE SCANDAL. Nobody will treat it as one.

If you are buying silly costumes and whistles to help stop our country from sliding into fascism: congratulations on doing more than our elected Democratic congresspeople!

War creates two categories of persons: those who outlive it and those who don’t. Both carry wounds. -Anne Carson #everynightapoem

I’ve been cooking like a grandma, adding more butter, cream and/or salt to everything and I must say, there’s a reason why grandmas’ cooking is so popular.

"I don’t want to get used to any of this. I don’t want to lose the part of myself that still startles, still aches, still sounds the alarm. But I also want to keep my body. I want to keep my mind. I want to keep my people. I want to make it through."

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

What @notalawyer.bsky.social said.

Last month observed particularly large temperature departures across the #Antarctic near the South Pole, but all latitude bands were actually warmer than average. Another visual of a warming world. Data: GISTEMPv4 using their 1951-1980 baseline (data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/).

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

We don't put powers in an elected legislature because they're necessarily all that prone to getting things right. There is value if nothing else in that a few hundred people can't be as erratic, can't produce such destructive uncertainty, as one illiterate geriatric and his maladjusted consigliere.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.
