man those HAFS models are good. sniffed out RI and it happened exactly as forecast

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win (h/t @miriamposner.com) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

For all the talk of "climate pragmatism" (basically, doing stuff that further enriches billionaires and pleases autocrats and also might reduce emissions a bit), most paths to genuine US climate action run first through deep system reform that makes this country an actual, functioning democracy.

EVIDENCE-BASED GOOD NEWS FOR YA A new report shows that a bunch of renewable energy companies have massively improved their human rights record. This is good! And important! @reneweconomy.com.au @business-humanrights.org reneweconomy.com.au/renewable-co...

It's hard to imagine a more selfless public servant than @weatherwest.bsky.social. Daniel has given countless hours of his time, without pay, at great risk to his physical and mental health — in part because President Trump is making us less safe by refusing to acknowledge & act on climate change.

This is fucking crazy.

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Biggest story in the world, told in the mainstream press perfectly well: AP/PBS headline: TRUMP'S MOVES AGAINST MEDIA OUTLETS MIRROR AUTHORITARIAN APPROACHES TO SILENCING DISSENT www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Excellent list. More excellent independent news orgs doing excellent work in the replies of this post. My faves: @thexylom.com, @racketmn.com, and @canarymedia.com

Kirk, climate angle, from @Jane Mayer's excellent 2017 article on his organization: 'Turning Point distributed a guide for college students with a foreword by Kirk, titled “10 Ways Fossil Fuels Improve Our Daily Lives.”'

Or else.

The defining lesson of this first year of Trump authoritarianism is that kowtowing & capitulating yields zero permanent benefit and only emboldens the admin to come after you more. This critical lesson was first documented in the landmark political science treatise “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.”

The widely accepted narrative that Trump "chickened out" on Chicago is completely incorrect. ICE's incursions are getting worse here every day.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Kat is still out there fighting four hours after this. I'm just fucking livid.

as someone who is a hater, i accept and welcome the fact that i have haters. what is good for the goose, etc. in fact, i think people in this business should be more open about their hating. if we think our words matter, then we should feel some kind of way about people who do bad work.

We haven't gone this deep into the hurricane season with only one hurricane since 1994. Gabrielle should get us another hurricane before the weekend is out, but odds favor a pass east of Bermuda. I also discuss what AI models are sniffing out longer term ⬇️

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

It's important to celebrate even quite small reasons for climate optimism, because otherwise you will succumb to despair, and that will help nobody. Sure, the line between optimism and delusion is a fine one, but you have to get out of bed in the morning and sometimes for that you need delusion.

“We’re gonna keep showing up till they stop abducting our neighbors” - @bradlander.bsky.social echoing his words @jfrejnyc.bsky.social gala once more after his arrest today. Great clip

Indeed. Earlier this summer, the White House did this to me, as a scientific expert source in media, and issued a formal statement regarding my personal campaign contribution history in an attempt to discredit my commentary on wildfire, climate, and federal policy. Yet more alarm bells ringing...

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

This is what fascist scholars mean when they say "don't give them an inch."

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

"Condensation does not linger in the skies for hours" remains one of my all-time favorite comments from The Vane. Clouds. They're called clouds. That's literally a cloud. And now this doofus probably runs DHS.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

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...

Fuck yeah, shadow government Dems are learning. Here, they seem to be adopting an approach to opposition that's common in parliamentary systems, whereby the opposition offers their own concrete alternatives to the incumbents

bad news for all the climate bros (derogatory) who thought they could squiggle out of catching gay cooties

We're setting the kind of records we like seeing this hurricane season! The latest from @bhensonweather.bsky.social and I on newly-formed Tropical Storm #Gabrielle: yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/the-...

this is a super key point. you (largely) don't need any traditional environmentalist eat-your-vegetables austerity or degrowth. we're talking about a future of nearly free, clean energy bsky.app/profile/suew...

I am coming around to the view that at least some of the work at this point is to find ways to create (however imperfectly) a microcosm of our vision for the future in our everyday lives. Which is a big transition for me as someone who long held contempt for what I saw as lifestyle activism

Honored to be on this year's #Grist50 list!

I truly love this man and how he motivates people to believe in a better world.

Happy Pythagorean Triple Square Day!

It's hard to overstate just how off the charts warm the Pacific is right now. The swath of the basin from California to Japan (a HUGE area) from 25N to 60N is ~3F (1.6C) above normal. To put it into math terms that is 6 Sigma/ standard deviations above the mean. More… 1/

Ketchikan, Alaska, the rainiest city in the U.S., just had 3.94" of rain in the last 6 hours. This is approximately a 20-year recurrence interval. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Karen Attiah, a black woman, got fired for A: accurately quoting what Charlie Kirk said about Black women B: Accurately observing that most white Americans seem permissive of white violence. It's bullshit, but almost expected in this white supremacist country.

New work about how perceptions of social consensus shape belief. My sense is that the design of social media, w/ signals of engagement on top of massive attention flows, shapes social consensus… a key factor (IMO ) of information disorder.

Thanks Eric!! That’s awfully nice of you. We’ve been on the phone all day trying to set reporters up for success. If anyone else wants to help us keep monitoring the far right, online extremism, and the meme wars, please send a few bucks our way. www.criticalinternet.org

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

I got yer timeline cleanse right here, folks. A whole clutch of teeny tiny snapping turtle behbehs emerged one at a time from their underground nest and crossed the gravel road while I and a couple other humans watched and made sure they were safe from anyone else coming along.

they should invent logging on that is good for you

With the Kirk assassination becoming clearer, we need to talk about the radicalized, Right Wing subculture that carries out terrorism and mass shootings. They’re an essential part of MAGA and so people really don’t want to see what is undeniable. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-threat...
