Papua New Guinea has detailed its plans to protect approximately 200,000 km² of Pacific Ocean waters from fishing and all other destructive human activity. Papua New Guinea sits within the Coral Triangle, the global epicentre of marine biodiversity. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/papua-n...

Time to boycott @cbsnews.com @cbssports.bsky.social Paramount and WBBM here in Chicago. Also @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social should end its partnerships with CBS. This sucks cuz no World Cup this year for this household.

The cost of Solar panels and batteries has come down massively over the last 2-4 years. We should have these systems everywhere! Oil is a necessary evil, for now. But we need to rapidly move to renewables everywhere.

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.

Installed solar capacity in India has been growing by 40% a year. In March, it passed 150 gigawatts, and by 2030 is set to double again. Analysts say the world’s most populous nation is on the verge of becoming the first major country to power its industrialization predominantly with solar energy.

Wemby is just such a fun fascinating interesting star. The league is so lucky.

#Scotland is establishing itself as a premier global leader in #renewableenergy as its powerful wind turbines now generate enough clean electricity to potentially supply more than twice the nation’s entire current demand. www.enerdynamics.com/Energy-Curre... #ActOnClimate #ClimateActionNow

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Yesterday, Happy, an elephant I spent many years fighting for and advocating to have released to a sanctuary, was euthanized by the horrible Bronx Zoo. It would mean a lot to me if you would read what I wrote about her. My Piece: bit.ly/4fR4aYt

Nice remembrance of Sonny Rollins:

This has been the Trump routine since pizzagate. Act incredulous about some fake democratic wrongdoing just before the Republican debauchery in the exact same vane gets illuminated.

In honor of Sonny Rollins who died yesterday at 95-- a true legend of jazz music. Here's his own composition, Alfie's Theme, from 1966 🎹

These cowardly mf”rs sure like to beat on women don’t they?

So people who lawfully attacked police officers to insurrection the democratic election?

“The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the U.S., or any of them.” [i.e. state govs]

It's not even "just going back to a version of Obama's deal but worse," since Obama's deal was an actual deal, with actual content, negotiated & signed by actual governments, & was actually working to actually prevent Iran from acquiring actual nuclear weapons.

Pssssst….Trump surrendered. Pass it on.

You may remember Republicans absolutely losing their mind when Obama released $1.7 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

The Danish gov’t has installed floating platforms planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in the harbors and canals of Copenhagen, to create urban habitat sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life. #FlowersOfBluesky #InnovativeSolutions💡

A NEW TWIST in Africa's soaring solar story: It's now manufacturing its own panels. The factories use imported Chinese cells, which are 40% of the value of panels, keeping much of the value domestically. 9 GW of cells+wafers in Mar/Apr alone🧵

Crossover happens! Solar and wind provide more power than gas. Fossil fuel corruption won’t stop progress. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

Keep telling the truth. Thank you to Stephen Colbert and everyone at The Late Show.

BREAKING: Judge Waverly Crenshaw dismisses indictment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia based on selective and vindictive prosecution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

We are going to savor this one. Our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, is freed of these outrageous, vindictive charges. It’s a good day.

Musk is going to try to sell his fandom on wispy dreams of the future with his SpaceX IPO. It’s all garbage, makes no sense, and is in the words of Patrick Boyle a “money furnace”. Let’s hope it crashes and burns.

We will build at scale and speed to supply Canadians with clean, affordable, reliable energy.

Bruce nails it. We can rightfully blame Trump for trying to shut down humor, satire and criticism in this country. But it takes Larry and David Ellison to play the role of billionaire oligarchs. They suck. Oh and the voters who put Trump in office are to blame as well for being feeble minded.

It's a big day for Normal and the entire state of Illinois as we launch Rivian's R2.

New Evidence Data Centers May Cause Hotter Weather

Years ago Scalia provoked gasps in the gallery when he called the Voting Rights Act a “racial entitlement.” But turning American democracy back into a white racial entitlement, as it was for most of American history, is exactly what the Roberts Court is doing. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I wonder if we will see the same passionate resistance to data centers from the crowd that is horrified by wind turbines.

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

@jaredhuffman.bsky.social is great as always, and Burgum is just spewing words. But it's worth noting that you can't run a coal plant reliably without energy storage. AKA, a 3 - 5 day coal pile. Gas and oil plants also have on-site energy storage.

$1 billion for a Ballroom, $10 billion for vanity projects in DC, $15 million for an arch in front of Arlington Cemetery. Meanwhile—they are proposing to cut over $1 billion in tribal programs, tribal housing, education, water and other basic programs, while opening sacred sites like Chaco Canyon.

As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...
