"The strongest El Niño on record from 1877 to 1878 fueled conditions that led to a global famine which killed more than 50 million people..." Luckily the US President isn't out here gutting disaster response and weather monitoring on behalf of Big Oil sociopaths, or we'd be in some deep do do!

With adequate fresh air exchanges and hepa filtration in schools we could dramatically decrease the number of Covid, RSV, Flu, TB and Pertussis cases circulating. This would lead to less sick days (1/3 of Oregon kids are chronically absent) and overall learning loss.

Rose City in full effect 🌹

Everyday we inch towards a level of instability and destruction most people can’t fathom or simply don’t want to. Helluva time to be alive.

Yikes 😳

This is why the Covid-19 pandemic still matters, and it's a mistake to flush it down the memory hole.

Indie Tapes in Germany are digging our new single “All Your Love’n”. Danke shöen! indie-tapes.com/post/8160579...

Many thanks to the lovely people at @austintownhall.bsky.social for the write up on “All Your Love’n”. ❤️🎶 austintownhall.com/2026/05/06/d...

“All Your Love’n” made it on Unrecorded’s best new tracks list. ❤️🎶 unrecordedmu.com/2026/05/06/b...

Members of the gop gave tours to insurrections that wanted to 💀 members of his party and he’s “worried” about them?! His wife shares 🍬 and snuggles with a gop prez that lied to Americans, tanked the economy on a trillion $ war and killed a million innocent Iraqis, and that’s the gop he wants back? 🙄

When the people of Seattle rise up to eat the rich, I know who the appetizers are gonna be.

Ughhh😩

Some love for the new album from our friends at Pop Fantasma in Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤️ popfantasma.com.br/dusty-lucite...

"Long COVID is a serious, growing public health crisis. Though estimates vary, as many as 18 million Americans may be affected" -Fox News, 2026 (It should be embarrassing to some liberals that Fox News is more up to date & empathetic then they are on this)

Fuck every ounce of this nonsense!

A new music video for “All Your Love’n” just released on YouTube. 🐝🎸❤️🎶 youtu.be/Yeh9rw3qAro?...

My new album “Shmaltz” is officially out now for Bandcamp Friday. Happy May Day! ❤️🎶 dustylucite.bandcamp.com/album/shmaltz

The Mercury’s first Music Issue in a decade is coming soon! To celebrate the momentous occasion, we’re throwing a party at Turn! Turn! Turn! on May 14. The party is a fundraiser for Ethos Music Center, with 100% of ticket sales going directly to the music education nonprofit.

Us poors won’t get to fly anymore but rest assured the private planes of the mega rich will still be littering the friendly skies.

Did you know that only ~2% of all philanthropy is directed to climate change? (And if we don't address climate change, everything else we care about -- our health, our communities, our economy -- could be severely compromised.)

My new album “Shmaltz” comes out this Bandcamp Friday along with the single and video for “All Your Love’n”. ❤️🐝🎸🎶 youtube.com/shorts/tFKVn...

Yikes y’all 😬🔥🌎

Can anyone guess which country will dominate the global auto industry going forward?

Good morning with good news: Sodium-Ion-battery Age truly begins with CATL providing a massive 60 GWh for grid storage! Sodium is ~1000 times more abundant than lithium. CATL battery has NO cobalt & nickel. Its cost advantages could be 30%-40%! electrek.co/2026/04/27/c... #energysky

Some people continue to advocate for regenerative grazing as a big climate solution. But it's not. The better answer is to cut back on beef consumption, curb food waste, and rethink the food system. drawdown.org/insights/gre...

Alright, this one made me snort laugh 😂

This needs to happen everywhere! Props to the Scotts🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🌎

This was totally predictable. Safety measures could have been taken years ago. But elected reps and news media ignore rapid climate warming or frame it as a “far off” danger to keep the $ and career going. Same thing happened in LA.

Corpus Christi, Texas, appears to be on track to become the first modern American city to run out of water

Yes, let’s kick it like it’s 1850, when the average person lived to be 40. Solid plan from a HHS secretary. 😩🙄💀

Covid boosters lessen your odds of hospitalization and death from acute infection. They also lessen your odds of long Covid. Roughly only 20% of adults and 9% of kids got the latest booster. WHO says 1 in 10 infections causes long Covid. Our government doesn’t care. Do you?

I’m starting to see more ppl talking about the rising possibility of a strong El Niño causing .2C jump in global temps in 2027 & disrupting global food supply. But almost none of the discussion comes from the black hole of mainstream news. It’s happening despite it. #ClimateCrisis

Norway produced 117% of their power from wind and solar last year. Tech in Europe has to last for a decade. There is no reason Democrats shouldn’t be advocating for what the rest of the sane world is already adopting. Promising to be slightly less evil than the current administration ain’t it.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

A rare test pressing of Robert Johnson containing an unreleased take of his Crossroad Blues has been uploaded to YouTube a couple days ago by Nick Dellow. The sound quality is incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmnN...

Dope🤓

More of this please!

Word!

What’s the Kalshi odds on this dude having some kind of Buffalo Bill suit made up of various dead animal parts?

Science nerds are measured cautious people. For years they have been giving a range of climate outcomes and the government and media have generally reported the most optimistic of those outcomes. More & more it seems the more pessimistic outcomes turned out to be the most accurate. Yikes 😳

Covid causes immune system damage that lowers cd4, cd8 and T cell counts. Sticking kids in poorly ventilated classrooms is a recipe for repeated illness. We’re had record RSV/flu/pneumonia seasons since we let Covid rip in schools. Kids are legitimately sicker than they used to be.

Only 44% of Americans think climate change is a serious threat to their lives. Gee, I wonder why?

m.youtube.com/shorts/p0o-V... My album “Shmaltz” is available for preorder on Bandcamp and releases May 1st! 🐝🎶🎸❤️

As dark as things are around us, I don't think there's ever been a more exciting time globally for biomedical innovation. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I don’t believe these people are that stupid. I think they just want to kill poor people. Feigning ignorance just makes them slightly less despicable.

This dude is the head of an institution that is worth over 200 billion dollars, and that’s after they paid out billions for all the kids they raped. PS, they’re still abusing kids. But I guess compared to the prez, the “moral authority“ bar is pretty low.

Love is a doing word🫡
