Said it before, will probably die saying it, we are never going to solve the climate disinfo problem if we don't fix media. As @maxboykoff.bsky.social notes here, the public by and large learns about climate change via the media, so if the media trades in false equivalence, it's damaging!

The reason the army has been able to recruit so many young people, is because it’s an avenue that offers money, education, an opportunities to people who often don’t have them. Imagine an “army” of youth corp workers whose jobs are to help build a new green economy & battle the climate threat….

THIS 👇. Friends, please take this action today and help us get a national Youth Climate Corps over the line...

My wife was brutal with this year’s Halloween graveyard decorations. Brutally honest. Painfully so.

California vows to ‘instantly’ cut funding to universities that cave to Trump ‘compact’

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

My piece on the exceptional legacy of Jane Goodall www.newscientist.com/article/2498...

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

We were warned that he would become Duturte...

“It’s easier to talk here than it is in America," the comedian told an audience at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. He could not be that ignorant. How callous. What an insult to the life of Jamal Khashoggi.

Thinking today of all the leaders in emergency management who dismissed the need to prepare for Project 2025 even once he was elected. Now much has been implemented in FEMA with more to come. www.disaster-ology.com/blog/2024/12...

Quds News Network: Italy | Trade unions call for nationwide general strike against israel’s attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla: Mass protests erupted in Rome, Bologna, and Naples after two of Italy’s largest trade unions called for immediate mobilisation.

BREAKING: Union in Italy has announced a general strike on October 3, as per their promise if the Gaza flotilla was attacked, as it has been now.

Not in my name. I won’t work for a school, I won’t give a talk at a school, I won’t write a letter or a review for a school, that signs this.

A moment that calls for collective action… to reject this transparent attack on academic freedom.

I think we should throw out our phones and give the street pigeons their jobs back. 🤔

"Science is bad for tyrants, and always has been...and that is why the scientific infrastructure of this country is currently being sledgehammered to death." #StandUpForScience #Resist #NoKings

I don’t understand what is being said. All I know is in this midst of this utter devastation, I see love & humanity.

Listen.

this is basically portland's version of a haka

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

My heart is broken. My hero has passed away. I first met Jane at 21. She inspired me & so many others to enter the field of conservation. May we all be step up to be like Jane, to continue her legacy. That was always her wish. Rest in power, Jane. Thank you for showing us the way.

(Reuters) - More than 150,000 federal employees will leave the U.S. government payroll this week after accepting buyouts - the largest single-year exodus of civil servants in nearly 80 years .. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

“If we continue, however, with the policies that we have out there, we are clearly on a pathway now of 2.7 degrees or 3 degrees where adaptation is simply not doable anymore. This is just what it is. We cannot protect Amsterdam from sea level rise of 3m. This is just not doable,” Thallinger said.

Zenna is trying to pay rent on a tent… you read that correctly.

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Weak. Cowardly. Feckless.

Trump announces 100% tariff on movies made outside of the US https://cnn.it/4gManmU

"The Trump regime’s desire for cruelty, corruption, and criminality appears bottomless, but just because they want to doesn’t mean they can. Lacking capacity, they’re trying to bluster and meme their way into consolidated authoritarianism" It's serious, but don't help them by falling for the trick.

"We. Will. Commit. War. Crimes." ¯\_🇺🇲_/¯

Mongabay recently published an investigation that revealed Brazil’s govt has been buying #shark meat to serve in schools, hospitals & prisons, fueling debate in the world’s largest consumer & importer of shark meat. #wildlife #conservation

Trump to a room of generals: "I've never walked into a room so silent before. Just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud."

Most interesting part of the speech—a familiar MAGA tirade—was the audience reaction. Didn’t hear a single person applaud. Generals and admirals sat silently during this political lecture from a former National Guard captain. The right reaction.

Whole lot of games are going to become insipidly, performatively anti-woke.

i want to see a comedy festival featuring all the people who turned down the riyadh gig on principle.

He wants to be king in a land with no kings.

Alexa, what happens when you put a fracking executive in charge of the Department of Energy?

Critiquing capitalism is now terrorism.

The fact that we are so late in the game that we are engineering artificial glaciers should scare the hell out of everyone.

Mark Carney's 'Tragedy of the Horizons' speech was a landmark moment for the financial sector to recognize climate change was a severe threat, but a decade later he's flouting his own prophetic warning as climate breakdown rapidly approaches.

Nicholas Spada is one of the only scientists in the world using a nuclear x-ray process to study deadly nanoparticles in wildfire smoke. What he’s uncovered in California is a nightmare. www.wired.com/story/the-la...

With more than 60 countries on board, the new High Seas Treaty will soon enter into force, ushering in the world’s first framework to conserve biodiversity across two-thirds of the ocean.

Terrible headline on a good article. It’s the world’s taste for MEAT that’s fuelling Amazon destruction. The soya is cattle feed.

US DOE leadership asked Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy staff not to say "climate change," "emissions," "decarbonization," "dirty," "clean," "green," "sustainable," "energy transition," etc. Scoop I'd like to see: Is AI being used to censor or defund projects/proposals that use these words?

Evil incarnate

We must destroy ICE because agents of the state cannot have the authority to snatch people off the street without knowing anything about them.
