oh, found it. forgot the "teach the conspiracy!' part

I assume this is for the data center boys. So they can build nuclear power plants willy nilly to power their AI future and achieve alignment without dealing with the nanny state.

When it rains, it now rains more. For those experiencing the flooding in south-west England, it is worth remembering that rainfall in winter has increased by about 25% overall. And, the rainfall has also become more intense: when it rains, it now rains more, increasing the risk of flooding.

Like I said elsewhere. If you can’t handle being followed and whistled at down the street you can’t be a regular girl in public But these dishmops…

the reason I'm so heated right now is Ilhan Omar has been thrown to the wolves so many times by the Democratic establishment for saying the things the Dems are finally, YEARS LATER starting to say. They've let Rep Omar take a lot of heat and have not used their voices enough to defend her

Street art memorializing Alex Pretti in Seattle. Per r/Seattle, it was painted on a building facing Swedish Hospital in the First Hill neighborhood www.reddit.com/r/nursing/co...

I have a feeling a lot of us could use this book in our lives during this particular time. For those who don't know, preorders factor into how much energy they put behind a new release, based on reader enthusiasm pre-publication. If you've got the interest and funds, please pre-order!

ILWU Oakland sends a container ship to Tacoma. renee

So ICE invades Minnesota, takes two lives, and the state: - Organizes a general strike - Serves thousands through community networks - Consistently protests and alerts neighbors - Takes care of each other at every waking hour And now the leaders of the chaos are getting FIRED. Wow.

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents about Alex Pretti's death and every single one of them blame the Border Patrol agent www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-unloads

Georgia leads the way in putting the brakes on data centers.

** One [HHS] agent with the department told the [New York] Times that he had “always given the benefit of the doubt to the government in these situations,” but that he now no longer believed “any of the statements they put out anymore.” **

That Reuters North American editor Sally Buzbee should be fired for journalistic malpractice for that dumb statement.. She’s an educated fool

Solidarity with Minnesota. An attack on one is an attack on all. #ICEOUT

This seems like a strange time for people to be suddenly talking about how glad they are they didn't vote for Harris. I must have missed some important bluesky conversation that would explain this.

I’m surprised at how many people don’t believe that propaganda significantly influences what people think politicians’ agendas are Like I did not understand this was something that I would disagree with a lot of people about, at all

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

I'm not going to ask if you're doomscrolling. Everything is hard right now. But you still need to eat some food, drink a glass of water, as well as time to rest and recover. Try not to stay up too late tonight. Sleep deprivation will make everything you need to do harder, including helping others.

As ICE terrorizes our communities, farmworkers are still feeding this country — every single day. #WeFeedYou

That’s two thousand, three hundred people. Cases in which a judge says, Hey, this seems sketchy, where’s the evidence? And the feds just shrug!?

The hypocrisy is never "the worst thing." It's the murder and trauma. And it's breaking the spirits of individuals, families, neighborhoods, and a country. And it's forcing an entire people to reckon with the fact that they are not who they thought they were. "This isn't us!" But it is.

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

I love this movie way too much

just to make that clear for the rest of the world, that's -9 degrees *fahrenheit.* -23 degrees *celsius*.

A beautiful southern-hemisphere prominence is lifting off the Sun right now. Check it out!

Good job, Wired. A set of brief interviews with people coping with federal occupation. Letter carrier: **They see a uniformed person and before they notice it's a mail carrier, they might think, “Oh God, who is this? Oh, it's the mailman. OK, we're good.” ** www.wired.com/story/how-ic...

The title of our latest research paper says it all: Vulnerability outpaces climate worry in US frontline communities. @mason4c.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social

Have seen many variations of this & broadly agree—but the part that struck me in the moment wasn’t “this is a microcosm for how America sucks” — it was “this is a microcosm for trying to behave democratically & respectfully of one another in a complex, evolving situation with things we can't know.”

I keep wondering what was happening at home for the French musicology duck bus driver to kidnap an entire busload of passengers and presumably lose his job. Did his wife decide to escape while he was safely out of town? He seems like he'd be hard to live with.

Like I honestly don't care whether or not a politician thinks I'm "really" a woman or whatever. I care that I'm allowed to access healthcare that I need. I care that I shouldn't be discriminated against on the basis of being trans. "Hurr hurr what is a woman?" is a troll question.

My father used to tell visiting evangelicals that heaven could only accommodate 144,000 people and had filled up a long time ago. Some of them were quite rattled when he pulled out his Bible to show them.

When we let foreign oil mega-corps control our jobs and economy — this is what happens. The global LNG market bubble will burst in 2030, right when BC projects come online. Eby is selling off BC to these foreign billionaires, instead of investing in working people and a 21st century economy. #bcpoli

For transit projects, delay doesn't just reduce faith in government - it's causing us to fall behind on our VMT and emissions-reduction goals. The climate crisis has a deadline, and we're not on track to meet it with current practices.

Does anyone need a crocheted emotional support dumpster fire

The fossil fuel industry began marketing natural gas as a "bridge fuel" more than 40 years ago. We have no reason to linger on that bridge any longer.

Cow Tools! We have lived alongside cows for nearly 10,000 years. We breed them and exploit them It is now, only now, that we have discovered THEY CAN USE TOOLS Here I describe our study (paper) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... in @currentbiology.bsky.social with @auersperga.bsky.social

Such a great talk!

Two of my favorite climate journalists talk about the tragedy of Venezuela, Guyana, oil, and, of course, sea level rise.

let the people work together

There needs to be *constant* follow up on anything reversed by the courts. There needs to be *constant* verification that what's said will happen actually happens.

Why is Newsom talking to Shapiro now instead of someone targeted by ICE? The Bulwark has done a better job in that regard

I saw an unusual opera today and it was so strange and delightful and mad that it has basically chased all of the thoughts out of my head
