Angry/Sad about the Endangerment Finding? TLDR: LFG

King Edward IV had his brother drowned in a vat of wine

Just FYI the moon is also a hellhole. Earth is the only place we can live. The dust on the moon is so fine it’s deadly and some Apollo astronauts were allergic to it. Also no air, just a total bummer for beings that need air. Oh and before anyone says but the soil has components to make water…

Re-upping 2018 story I wrote about the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. I still think about the revolutionary I met in the mountains who brandished Simon Bolivar's sword and said, “Anything I can do to make the world a more just place, I will do.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Air pollution from burning fossil fuels causes 100,000 to 200,000 avoidable American deaths per year. At the EPA's statistical value of life of $10 million, these deaths cost America $1 to $2 trillion per year, every year. These costs far outweigh the costs of transitioning off of fossil fuels.

Velociraptors had feathers

I don't know how any parent can read these stories without shaking with rage.

When my eyes first saw the graph, I thought it was a picture of this year's awful snow/water content of the western US, but then realized it's just a graphic of a major source of funding for my career field that studies things like this year's awful western snows.

The world is going to blow past the 1.5 C goal of the Paris Accords. Even limiting global warming to 2 C will be very hard. But we might still be able to pull it off if we change tactics, and focus more attention on climate “Emergency Brakes”. globalecoguy.org/hitting-the-...

you would not believe the number of people who tell me (a scientist who studies climate feedback loops) that we should despair about climate change because of climate feedback loops

trying to talk about science to non scientists is wild because you'll be like "warm air holds more water vapor" and then a bunch of other scientists will be like EXCUSE ME DO YOU MEAN 1/es des/dT = lv/RvT^2

One of the most surprising things I've learned from my research is that "how hot it's gotten so far" doesn't tell us much about "how hot it's going to get eventually". Long-ago, really weird climates can tell us a lot more about where we're headed.

I’ve heard “the jet stream is getting weird so we’re seeing more cold snaps”. Most scientist don’t buy this (see below) but there IS evidence that warming Arctic -> more sluggish weather systems -> longer heat waves in summer

As a NASA scientist with a phd in astrophysics my assessment is that compared to Earth, this planet sucks

who has ideas for how 10 year olds can participate in activism? for context: they're informed, upset, bright, in Jeffries' district, and capable of reaching previously unimaginable levels of being annoying

this is totally unfair, they also don't work in the heat

NCAR represents what is possible when a nation chooses to invest in science as a public good, writes @carlonimbus.bsky.social of @ucs.org. #SaveNCAR eos.org/opinions/wha...

i post this every september

Note how much they hate the (scientifically accurate) key message “the future is in our hands” because they want us to believe it’s in theirs

They refer to the section of the national climate assessment i led as “stomach churning” and I’m proud to have caused physical discomfort

Conservatives Say Renée Good Was Brainwashed By Bible Into Loving Thy Neighbor https://theonion.com/conservatives-say-renee-good-was-brainwashed-by-bible-into-loving-thy-neighbor/

my 2026 resolution is to stop talking about climate in terms of global mean temperature (will rise a couple degrees, sounds manageable, nobody cares) and start talking in terms of H bomb equivalents (holy shit, seems bad, WTF)

The heat energy we added to the ocean LAST YEAR is the equivalent of: - Detonating ten hydrogen bombs every minute - operating over a hundred large power plants continuously for all of written human history - Five times all the electricity human beings have ever used

to be fair a large proportion of protesters are women over 30, who are invisible

i would compare these people to comic book villains but that's unfair, thanos only wanted to kill half of us

All the books I read to my kids are like “the good guys must work to defeat the bad guys” and all the books I read are like “we must grapple with the nuances of the situation” and I was not prepared for the former to be a better description of adulthood

This is what I meant when I wrote that "we can overthrow them with a union of care."

Vigil TONIGHT for Renee Nicole Good in NYC 6pm, Grand Army Plaza

Please read this. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Authoritarian violence doesn’t stop at borders. ICE in our streets. Bombs abroad.Same system. Same violence. No Kings. No ICE. No Wars. Join us Sunday at 1pm in Manhattan @60th&5th! HandsOffNYC.com/jan11 @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @socialists.nyc

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

imagine thinking this was going to make New Yorkers dislike her

Solar didn’t just shine in 2025 — it shutdown all of the naysayers. Costs collapsed. Deployment exploded. Markets shifted gears. That’s not a trend — that’s transformation. Years of progress. Years of scale. No shortcuts. No flash. While others exposed their shortcomings, solar forged ahead.

This is like if we took the side of the aliens in Independence Day

We’re setting up a national call to discuss the killing and lawlessness by ICE in Minneapolis. We’ll be joined by leaders who will provide concrete next steps for a national response. We hope you can join us: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.
