REALLY chuffed to be invited to @parismarx.com's incredible @techwontsave.us pod to talk about not just the climate harms we face from an uncontrolled data centre expansion but the way companies enacting it seem to think they're cape-wearing climate superheroes -->>> techwontsave.us/episode/304_...

It is never too late to demand accountability for atrocities committed in our names

This documents the type of war crimes that the US has repeatedly executed foreign military officers and politicians for committing. There must be trials.

Wrote a long book that comes out August. It covers from the origins of life at alkaline hydrothermal vents some 4 billion years ago through the Volcker Shock. I'm told pre-orders help, so if that sounds like your thing, buy one, won't you? www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

Wrote about how climate change is bad www.theatlantic.com/science/2025...

"Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so."

"We live in an era where personal expression is saturated by digital filters, hivemind thinking is promoted through endless algorithms and academic freedom itself is under assault by the weakest minds among us. AI has only made this worse. It is a crisis." www.huffpost.com/entry/histor...

This, by @giacgrassi.bsky.social, remains one of the simplest and best climate visuals

As harrowing as this, it felt like a relief to read it. The commentariat's refusal to grapple with what climate change will do to us, if we don't phase out fossil fuels, has been driving me insane. This should help break the collective amnesia.

When the HBO series Chernobyl was released, the nuclear advocacy community was up in arms about 'scaremongering' In 2025, they are doing absolutely everything in their power to turn American into Russia and to actively set in motion the next major nuclear disaster www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

The average viewership for the NBA Finals and World Series over the last decade

Here's a really great, clear explanation from @michael-thomas.bsky.social of what we know about why US electricity prices are rising. (No, it's not data centers, except in some very specific local areas.)

Bill Gates doesn't know shit about the climate crisis, as has been demonstrated by his previous approach to funding climate action.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Everyone is buzzing about the big sporting event of the night: The Chicago Bulls defeating the Atlanta Hawks 128-123 to go to 3-0 on the season

“Babe it’s 1 am why aren’t you in bed the children are going to wake up so early tomorrow” “Sorry hun, me and the 157 most brain damaged friends I’ve met online are watching two baseball teams we don’t care that much about and the bits have gone on so long we can’t turn back now”

This picture is from the start of this game

NEW: "The company’s estimates therefore suggest that every seven days, around 560,000 people may be exchanging messages with ChatGPT that indicate they are experiencing mania or psychosis." @lmatsakis.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/chatgp...

This is now two baseball games long. Therefore, this should count for the 3rd and 4th game in the World Series.

SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

Man, WHAT A GAME. Let's go Dodgers! Can't believe they play again in 17 hours lol.

Now warming in the Dodgers bullpen...

My god, the Dodgers are putting Sandy Koufax in

BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom of California just vetoed a bill that would have banned #PFAS in cookware and other consumer products. Given California's market clout, this is massive blow to public health.

This was once the kind of shit we cited to differentiate ourselves from authoritarian countries. It’s just who we are now.

"We have an economy where a handful of modern-day robber barons wield extraordinary power. They hold enormous control over our paychecks, our bills, our time, and our futures. ...But the good news is that nothing about any of this is inevitable." - Lina Khan

That Final Four press conference brought in an army of cameras—literally hundreds. You'd have thought it was Beyoncé, T. Swift or Tom Cruise. But no, it was for a nonagenarian, wheelchair-bound team chaplain. Here's the CBS Sports obituary on Sister Jean, gone at the beautiful age of 106.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

“You know, I never thought that renowned puppy killer Kristi Noem would be so afraid of protesters wearing frog costumes and chicken costumes,” Morillo began, “but here we are.”

Of the 37 nominees to the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of the Interior who required Senate confirmation, a stunning 25 of them had ties to polluting industries, including oil and gas and mining. insideclimatenews.org/news/0610202...

The Trump administration wasted no time in tapping individuals with ties to fossil fuel industries and right-wing think tanks funded by oil tycoons for key environmental and energy policy positions, according to a new report.

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary

"One Battle After Another" nailed it in predicting/depicting the fusion of military, immigration enforcement, and paramilitary white nationalists too.

NEW from me: Several CBS News staffers and insiders told me that the network "is not a good place now" amid the imminent arrival of Bari Weiss as editor-in-chief, who one source likened to Michael Scott of The Office based on her lack of qualifications. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

The US Department of Energy sent a memo to employees in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) instructing them to avoid “any terminology that you know to be misaligned with the Administration’s perspectives and priorities,” including “climate change.” by @dharna.bsky.social

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Fascistic and absolutely unacceptable rhetoric from the unmoored little man who is basically running the federal government right now.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Following the Nazi playbook right down to the letter. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/new-...

This follows reporting by Ken Klippenstein that the FBI will label trans people as domestic terrorists. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

The Trump admin is going to do what Russia and Hungary have done, dismantle liberal civil society to ensure that the only power centers that remain are either the autocrat himself or those aligned with him. It's about eliminating independent centers of political power from academia to the media.

This isn't about antifa, this is about the NGO's. The goal here is to eliminate philanthropic support to major liberal groups through intimidation. They're going to starve liberal groups of funding while hitting them with millions in legal fees from investigations. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
