176 tiny maps (1850-2025) Maps of temperature anomalies for each year. The progression to warmer, redder colours is evident over virtually the entire planet. This 'small multiples' #dataviz approach is effective to show that nowhere is escaping from the warming due to us burning fossil fuels.

As the climate data for 2025 continues to be released, it's time to update various data visualisations. First - the global climate stripes for 1850-2025. A third darkest red stripe is added. The last 11 years have been the warmest 11 years on record. A sequence that is unlikely to be broken soon.

Putting the hot & dry summer of 1976 into context 50 years after the extreme summer for the UK and Ireland, what can we still learn? climatelabbook.substack.com/p/the-summer...

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2025) The last 3 years really jump out, rather like 2015-6 did when we first produced this graphic back then. Now, 2015-6 looks rather cool... More on the spiral: doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...

and they absolutely would have fucking hated a fake-rich, braggart that had neither moral virtue or intellectual heft to counter balance how personally repugnant he is

Washington literally described Trump in his farewell address. Lol Everything down to hijacking a political party to serve his own interests. They *could* and *did* predict someone like Trump because Trump is a cartoonishly evil, corrupt, selfish man, like every other authoritarian in history.

Exactly. The only thing they could not have imagined is that it would be one single person who so perfectly encapsulated literally everything they aimed to prevent in a leader.

The framers intended the VP to be the runner up to the Presidential election. They did not foresee a two party system. Reimagine the last 9 years with Hillary as Trump‘s first vice president, Kamala as his second. We removed that foundational check and balance 200 years ago

people will say the framers never could have predicted this, but that's not true at all, they absolutely *did* expect someone like trump, they thought congress would *stop* him, and they thought they made that clear

#CD7 Your task today: Call Kean and ask him how he intends to stop the "Acting President of Venezuela" from destroying the Independence of the Federal Reserve and stop the "criminal" persecution of Powell. Rep Kean -(202) 225-5361 908-547-3307

Aw, thanks, that's me (in Philly).

The U.S. falls into #EmergingMarket class, complete with #TyrantDickTator

"this is going on in twitter" have you considered i did not sign up to bluesky to see what's happening on twitter and only expect to hear of it if it actually matters

I wrote book reviews for a while for the WSJ well over a decade ago, and Bari Weis was my editor. One of her special tricks was to try to insert a sharp rightward slant into my essays *after* it had been copy edited, as a way of slipping her viewpoint in at the last minute.

#TrumpsVA #VeteransAdministration being shredded by Donny and his devils minions

Claudette Colvin, Jo Anne Robinson, E.D. Nixon, and many others: these are people whose initial leadership made the famous people the famous leaders. Retaining these humble heroes in our canonical historical narratives is key to preventing myopia in formulating strategy for our movement work today.

yea I think that’s true and was genuinely a mistake because the worst case scenario is kinda important if we are talking about the literal whole world

I think in general the idea for a long time was to be conservative in projections so as to retain credibility and not be easily dismissed as cranks. For all the good it did.

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community. They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Friends, this is Third Way. This is what they exist to do.

There exists a world where elite rich men believe they have the right to send insurrectionist soldiers after us because we disapprove of their child rape. It’s this world. It’s the USA. It’s MAGA doing this to us. 🇺🇸🦅

📌You REALLY want a wave election in November, Democrats? Get rid of Chuck Schumer as your leader. He is a drag on the party. I'm not wrong about this.

Maybe let them know that a few big corporations are headquartered there whose wealthy executives are being mildly inconvenienced by ICE.

We should tell the New York Times that there are a few Harvard undergraduates who come from Minneapolis.

First SCOTUS opinion today. Over nuclear waste storage. It's 6-3 with Gorsuch, Thomas, Alito dissenting. Thankfully the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is still allowed to exist. Basically it's Common Sense 1 -- James Ho 0.

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

Christian nationalists voted for Trump to protect women and children from the bogeyman. The funny part about this, is the bogeyman seems to like churches. The list is so long but here are some. They’re not immigrants, trans, or cross dressers.

FFS. ICE is targeting Native Americans!

This type of plaza should be at every major intersection with Lincoln Ave. Some would be really easy, like at Ashland.

Goooood morning Chicago. Can you believe Millennium Park used to just be a big parking lot

Cities like Chicago get better when vacant land is redeveloped into a riverfront hub: Housing, business, recreation, transportation
