X has restored the account of Gavin McInnes, founder of the Proud Boys group. McInnes's account was banned by Twitter in August 2018 ahead of the "Unite the Right 2" rally in Washington DC for "violating" its policies on violent extremism.

The best thing I've read on the new information ecosystem. (And a great gateway for people whose influence is based on traditional expertise/credentials. It's by the Carnegie Endowment! There are footnotes!)

HUGE win for ocean life as Morocco becomes the 60th nation to ratify, forcing new high seas protections. “The US signed the treaty under Biden and American negotiators played a “very important role in drafting” it, but that since President Trump took office “the U.S. has kind of checked out.”

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

It's not your imagination: Wildfire smoke in the U.S. has dramatically worsened since 2019. According to a new study, it's already killing 41,000 people a year - and it's poised to get much worse. new from me @johnmuyskens.bsky.social and @sadbumblebee.buzz www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Meanwhile in Canada...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

They said what?! When Dr. Jane made the National Geographic cover years ago, some male scientists were upset. One even said she only made the cover because she had nice legs! What did Dr. Jane say to that? Check out the video and see her response for yourself. 📹: Mike Scherling

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

This stunning Hoopoe did the right thing for a change and just sat on this rock next to my car for a photo session 😂 Most have gone but we always have a few winter here. #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2025 #Alicante #canonphotography

ALSOBROOKS: Did you receive a call from the secretary upon reports an active shooter at CDC HQ had shot at employees? MONAREZ: I did not speak to the secretary on the 8th or any successive day A: So are you telling me the HHS secretary failed to even give you a courtesy call? M: He didnt call me

Over 20 yrs of flying insect counts at a remote high(3000m)-mountain meadow in Colorado (by a very dedicated observer) shows insect counts fell by an average of 6.6%/yr, overall a 72.4% drop. The main culprit was rising summer temperatures, especially warmer nights. ½ www.earth.com/news/remote-...

Lots of misinformation going around about ICE in Chicago including this post below showing masked agents. IT'S AN OLD VIDEO. Listen to local experts like @unraveledpress.com. Don't re-post clips without double checking to see if they are accurate. If you don't know for sure, don't share.

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

The Smithsonian, according to former senior historian and curator David C. Ward, is “the greatest museum in the world.” That’s why he sees the massive changes sought by the Trump administration as “demoralizing” and “farcical.”

Wise words from Prof Andrew Dressler www.theclimatebrink.com/p/the-mercha...

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

Imagine getting from Seattle to LA in four and a half hours with near-zero emissions.

There's a lot of very interesting material in the response from experts across many domains if you want to learn something solar reconstructions, coral reefs, U.S. temperature data, atmospheric temperature trends, climate models, etc. Andrew did a great job organizing with a very small (30d) window.

Good question, feckless answer

Our 400+ page comment on the DOE climate working group report is now out. Our conclusion: The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science.

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

RFK Jr. taps his top deputy, Jim O’Neill, to be the new CDC director. Both men appear to wear skinny ties from Otaa. Otaa's ties are made in China from microfiber, a kind of plastic that, under the right conditions, can migrate to your balls.

Border Patrol agents arrested two firefighters – who they say were in the United States illegally – while they were working to contain Washington state’s biggest wildfire.

The American Meteorological Society's formal response to "foundationally flawed" DOE mis/disinformation report on #ClimateChange is excellent & timely. Frankly, I have been more impressed w/@ametsoc.org's ability to effectively meet the moment this year than other scientific professional societies.

The Taylor and Travis engagement date will be easy to remember as the day I lost my eardrum to the screams.

Showed the 7yo and 11yo Monty Python and the Holy Grail last night and all morning they’ve been saying Ni loudly and proudly. The 11yo now wants to watch Spinal Tap and Airplane. The next couple of family movie nights are gonna be fun.

Kharkiv right now ❤️‍🩹 I’m almost crying. We’re banned from organizing celebrations. Warned against crowds and gatherings due to constant russian bombings. But we’re alive, and we’ll keep living. That’s our collective "fuck you" to russia.

River and Joaquin Phoenix in 1985. RIVER would’ve been 55 today.

Hydrothermal vents were UNKNOWN to scientists until the 1970s. Most Americans TODAY weren't taught there were cities in the Americas before Columbus. We're a society of preschoolers still arguing about whether Santa is real & which other kids are allowed to have long hair & use the pink crayons.

After a shooter fired hundreds of rounds at the headquarters of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this month, more than 750 current and former HHS staffers implored Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in a letter to “stop spreading inaccurate health information.”
