Good god, the New York Times DIDN'T fix it. As a climate scientist just reminded me, temperature increase has NOT "curved downward over the past 10 years" as this revision claims. In fact THE RATE OF INCREASE IN GLOBAL WARMING HAS GONE UP 😩 yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/clim...

Burt Meyer, a Chicago toy designer behind classics like Lite-Brite, Mouse Trap, and Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots, died Oct. 30 at 99, leaving a joyful, generations-spanning legacy.

As Ta-Nehisi Coates said last month: “.. it’s either one of two things: either you’re cowards or you’re with him. And if you’re with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with.”

“Why won’t the mayor of New York allow me to try and browbeat him into betraying his base?!”

Here’s @realgdt.bsky.social in NYC expanding on his rallying cry of ‘fuck AI!’, talking about how art and even love come from shared pain and movies can save your life. This shit made me and others in the audience cry as much as his version of Frankenstein…

NEW, by me: Researchers have discovered an Android spyware that specifically targeted Samsung Galaxy phones during a nearly year-long hacking campaign. The spyware relied on a zero-day bug triggered by sending a victim a malware-laced photo via a messaging app. Victims are likely in the Middle East.

Referring to shifting projections in the past tense has become such a significant problem, particularly among the more centre-right segments of the climate movement. Wrong for many reasons, but two big ones: - Actuals are HIGHER than projections - Projections have stopped falling anyway

DHS confirmed it has stopped automatically storing officials' text messages. Instead, officials are supposed to take a screenshot, send that to their work email, download it onto their work computer and run a text-recognition program on it. Every time. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Quite a headline.

I want to spell this out in case the implications aren't clear: This means all public tools/webapps of GISAID data (all the ones you've been used to seeing thru the pandemic, as far as we can tell) are prohibited. The file allowed this. Cut that - cut off all tools the public & others were using.

if i ever reach this point then just put me down

We had fucking congressional hearings over Mortal Kombat.

Hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of a decision made by the world's richest man

AP reporter Regina Garcia Cano looked into a few of the men killed in Trump's extrajudicial strikes on Caribbean boats. "They were laborers, a fisherman, a taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a local crime boss who contracted out smuggling services" apnews.com/article/trum...

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

capitalism rules, I love doing extensive research any time I need to replace something because roughly 94% of all products are scam garbage

I don't understand why this isn't absolutely blowing up. A whole public library system shutting down branches to remove books because the Tennessee Secretary of State believes that Executive Orders are above the Constitution.

My latest update on nextgen Covid vaccines is a whopper, in part thanks to catching up with a new vax tracker: - Trial results for 2 vaxes - 3 new clinical trials - 26 preclinical reports Highlights follow....1/2 Now @plos.org: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/11/06/a... #Covid #Covid19 #Vaccines

Not just any filmmaker, but his filmmaking partner… that he was dating

Documents offer rare insight on Ice’s close relationship with Palantir. A cache of emails, training documents and reports sheds light on how Palantir helps ICE with investigations and on-the-ground enforcement. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The claim that “emissions have come down” in this @nytimes.com @sominisengupta.bsky.social article on where we are ten years post-Paris is FALSE. Global emissions were at an all-time high in 2024. As it stands this claim is misinformation. They need to issue a correction!

There are no words for how evil this is

Fuck this hall monitor shit

Who are you going to believe, me or your lying bills?

COVID-19 Vaccination Linked to Reduced Infections in Children with Eczema. “Our study suggests that COVID-19 vaccination not only protects against coronavirus but may also have broader health benefits for children with atopic dermatitis"

what a headline www.404media.co/nancy-pelosi...

What a queen

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

FDR would've felt incredibly vindicated by all of this. A core proposition of the New Deal was that the country's ruling class was incapable — at best — of defending the Constitution, and that it was up to a dissident vanguard of intellectuals, in conjunction with workers and farmers, to do it.

FUCK

AAP and other medical groups call for the ACIP to be disbanded and reconstituted under court supervision. "You have an ACIP that shouldn't be making policy, now starting to make policy. We want it disbanded." www.medpagetoday.com/publichealth...

I spit on the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court, not that it can get much more degraded than it has already become by the repulsive actions of its disgusting GOP members. You can hear the transphobic sneer in these words.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to enforce its anti-trans and anti-nonbinary passport policy during litigation. The unsigned, four-paragraph order effectively reverses two lower-court decisions. The Democratic appointees dissent. More to come: www.lawdork.com

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have loved to see the Senate refuse to vote on constraining presidential authority to wage war against fishing boats he doesn't like

Charlotte Bronte ass pseudoscience

“‘More people could have died in the past week in El Fasher, and this is without hyperbole, than died in the past two years in Gaza,’ says Nathaniel Raymond, Executive Director at Yale’s Humanitarian Research Lab.” open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

Do tell.

read my colleague @jael.bsky.social's excellent piece about the one thing republicans and democrats are increasingly aligning on: hating data centers

If you have long covid and a doctor recommends graded exercise, exit that office and warn everyone else. These doctors are effing dangerous!!

To understand how Bari Weiss might approach climate coverage at CBS, I read every climate article the Free Press has published. Almost every one reinforced a common fossil fuel industry talking point—that climate change is exaggerated, that solutions don't work, and that fossil fuels = freedom
