100-hour #climate and #science livestream by 200+ US meteorologists and climate scientists whose research is at risk due to proposed federal budget cuts. Currently in hour 8. www.youtube.com/live/CcWR6Cd...

Seeing as Emil Bove personally fired me from DOJ in retaliation for prosecuting January 6 rioters, I don’t think he should be confirmed to a lifetime seat as a federal judge. But that’s just me.

Covid is not a respiratory condition but a systemic inflammatory condition with respiratory features. Good evidence of subclinical damage to liver, kidneys, heart, vasculature in recovered patients, and evidence of changes in types of acute MI/heart attack seen. Could be big problems down the line.

Hi! Covid does not last five days! This is another incredible mishmash of bad information the government has made as murky as possible! I keep having friends and family be shocked they’re still positive and very symptomatic 7-10 days in. You’ve got it til you don’t, isolate and mask til then!

a state throwing a major presidential candidate off the ballot because of their interpretation of the 14th Amendment is kind of a constitutional crisis, but it is already a legitimacy crisis when a major party renominates a candidate who tried a coup. might as well make it explicit.

Hearing from Art Friends this year that their holiday art sales are pretty low -- maybe in part the economy, but I'm also guessing it's how AI has fucked some shit up. As such, if you can spend money on real art by humans this holiday, please do.

I'm losing my mind so let me just say this here? I believe Hamas perpetrated unspeakable sexual violence on Oct 7 and I believe that they have not treated hostages well, and I also believe that 15,000 Palestinians shouldn't be dead as a result?

WE MUST TELL EVERY TRUTH. Trigger warning. This is about the extensive sexual assaults that happened by Hamas on Oct 7th. There are many horrific graphic details. This matters. As do Palestinian lives. Lots of things are true at once. archive.is/202311292108...

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.

FINALLY! Just in time for the winter COVID surge, the CDC now has a useful wastewater dashboard. It indicates that nationally COVID wastewater levels are HIGH and rising further. You can access the dashboard here: cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...

We have no Planet B. As an individual without resources, the most simple thing you can do about climate change is to talk about it. Create awareness, it will cost you $0.00 and that will go a long way to reach thousands.

If you've fallen out of practice of wearing a mask, this would be a good week to start again! COVID rates are rising because of a new variant, and because many people will have gotten sick over Thanksgiving. Your best protection is wearing a high quality mask.

Happy Black Friday everyone! Here's a pretty fun + wild blog post about Shopify: the massive e-commerce company hoovering up carbon removal to (a) justify obscene, wasteful overconsumption and (b) excuse a fairly shocking internal program that INCENTIVISES flying ketanjoshi.co/2023/11/24/w...

Agreed!

I loved this searching, powerful piece by Mark Harris in NYMag: nymag.com/intelligence...

So I can’t sue if my personal voting rights were violated but I can sue a woman I suspect of getting an abortion? apple.news/Af4omA_5nT5u...

Demanding "no monkey pushing" and no lessons about fossil fuels that might "cast the oil-and-gas industry in a bad light," Texas education commissars move to block science textbooks from eight publishers—🎁:

🧵My heart keeps breaking over & over & over again. Vivian Silver is the woman whose son told the press "you can't cure killed babies with more dead babies." May her memory be a blessing, may her memory change us, may all their memories, on both sides of this horror, all of them, be a revolution.

The WaPo describes Trump's speech accurately in the headline! wapo.st/47rE7Qi

“What has Biden done?” “Appointed more women and BIPOC as judges. Fought COVID while the last guy did nothing. Improved the economy. Pulled us out of Afghanistan…” “But what has he DONE?”
