billionaire: we need radical solutions for Earth Day. Think bold. Biofuels. Space mirrors. Plankton fertilization. advisor: what about a 2% wealth tax? billionaire: …Cloud seeding. Turbine farms in the Sahara. A Dyson sphere.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

We have our first pale horse since I published the update list yesterday: the collapse of a data center deal that has yet to commence construction. bsky.app/profile/edzi...

Just thinking about how the US is possibly going to drop a nuclear weapon on Tehran. 10 million people just trying to live their lives. This will be utterly horrific. Utterly insane and inhumane.

If you've never seen the ancient forests out here, here's a way you can help make sure the possibility to do so remains. The logging won't do what the administration is claiming it will. It will only benefit the already wealthy, much like everything else Trump & Co. do.

Years from now we are going to find out there was a chatroom where men like this compared notes.

One of my favourite things is how those Danish butter biscuit tins are filled with sewing supplies. It doesn't matter where in the world you are from. youtube.com/shorts/hz_Xm...

Yes! They feel very grounded and real and very romantic. Also in the sense of the Romance period

And the last group. And now I need to read all your contemporaries @authormsbev.bsky.social

The second to last group @authormsbev.bsky.social

And another group @authormsbev.bsky.social

And here are some more @authormsbev.bsky.social

And another batch @authormsbev.bsky.social I promise I will try and get better at this over time

And the next batch @authormsbev.bsky.social

And some more @authormsbev.bsky.social

Here are the images @authormsbev.bsky.social

I've slowly been reading all of @authormsbev.bsky.social's historical romances (and they are all fabulous. And then I decided to do a mini review/info post series in three parts. I'll add a link to each IG post and also the images in this thread 1/35 Part 1 www.instagram.com/p/DVl885jjLU...

People think I’m being alarmist when I say they are trying to make you dumb. They feel entitled to control how and to what extent you can access knowledge. They send their kids to tech-free schools while ensuring public school kids can’t read. They want you illiterate.

Just your reminder that if you do not train an AI model, you just don't train an AI model, and if you do not feed a human, that's murder and you're evil.

Hi friends, I've launched a business! eleanorsenglish.com I've tried looking for work for a second job for the past year with no success, so I'm trying this new idea. Even just clicking through the website can help with searchability

No matter how much I integrate, there will always be people who treat me poorly because I'm a foreigner. I really wish people would open their perspectives.

Did you know that I have extras on my website? One of them is a short story in the Turner series, where you learn what's happening between Smite and Richard Dalrymple when they were kids: www.courtneymilan.co... /jb #HistoricalRomance #Romance #Romancelandia #HEA #TurnerSeries

Maybe the French will stop whining now about "stolen" wins

This list isn't weird, it just means you are probably 40+ish. Haven't done 9. Maybe around the house as a joke but not out in public.

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother

Trying to grasp moments of joy in this bleakest of historical moments. It really is a curse to live in interesting times. Oh it would be a joyous thing if the world were to embrace peace and human rights and to feed the hungry and eliminate poverty and homelessness. Those things aren't impossible

Free & fast buses, rent freeze, universal childcare (I live in Germany)

I really wish people actually understood statistics and probability.

I think that tech developers aren't talking to humans when they want to make updates. Most of the "updates" seem really terrible most of the time and mostly seem to be more and more AI trash. It's like they want people to leave technology and the internet.

Tell em Sis!!

*types very depressing post* *deletes* Posts this instead

In 2008 I met a climate scientist from Mali who was advocating for this so long that he looked exhausted. Absolutely amazing man. He was working so hard on this. And then I see numbers like this and my heart just soars. Youba Sokona, you (and your peers) really did it. www.ipcc.ch/people/youba...

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

Happy 67th Birthday to Viggo Mortensen 🎂

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Never underestimate the lengths to which men and their allies will go to retaliate against women who tell the world what they did.

Frauen sind kein Instrument zur Bekräftigung rassistischer Einlassungen.

A reminder that this is the same man who voted to keep the German men’s right to rape their wives, so it’s not sexual violence against German women he’s opposed to. Some say: it was long ago! He was an adult politician, and never apologised.

So the main culture war in Germany, fought by the country’s leader, is that despite mass deportations there are still too many non-white men in German cities: which needs to change so that white German daughters can feel safer. That’s an actual position that he is taking. An incitement to violence.

Die Töchtergeneration hat verstanden was das für ein rassistischer und sexistischer Unsinn ist. Sie wenden sich deshalb ab von dieser reaktionär-chauvinistischen Politik. Es wäre tatsächlich gut wenn mehr Menschen jungen Frauen zuhören würden, anstatt sie nur als Projektionsfläche zu verwenden.

Another really amazing and lovely read

Well this one was absolutely fabulous!!! It would also make an epic, sweeping movie!!! So so good!!! @authormsbev.bsky.social

“Copyright growing pains” is one hell of a euphemism for the biggest IP theft in history

I hate being able to feel the stress in my body. It steals so much brain power. Sometimes I wonder whether soaking in a bathtub of muscle relaxants might help.

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

This was another excellent read I read recently
