From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

One more example of why you shouldn't use AI

The non-native mangrove Sonneratia is invading wetlands in China that are dominated by the native mangrove Avicennia and non-native grass Spartina. Mangrove traits change across the intertidal, helping to explain why Sonneratia is invasive and Avicennia not. academic.oup.com/jpe/article/...

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.

Most of the social programs that are routinely dismissed in American politics as "unrealistic" or "too expensive" could have been paid for multiple times over by the cost of this war so far, much less the costs to come. It's never the money.

Did ya all know that every authoritarian dictator has to purge his military leadership to remove those who refuse his unlawful orders? It’s kind of a thing.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

If the president of the company I work for tweeted what the President of the US tweeted today he would be suspended and fired within a day lol

Would be great if Manfred instituted this rule in MLB: only dogs can be bat boys.

Every pastor who supports this president should have to read this from the pulpit to their congregation. This is the man Paula White compared to Jesus and said he’s the greatest champion of the Christin faith we’ve ever had in the White House. So read his words aloud.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Not that anyone needed this reminder, but billionaires actually pay less taxes than normal people because the tax code allows them to do it

I hope everyone’s learned their lesson about “let’s run our government like a business” bullshit Businesses can be run into the ground Not really supposed to do that with governments

i swear this gov is a TV show. the head of intelligence got hacked and used his real name for a porn account. the head of dept of war accidentally texted war plans to a journalist. and now former head of homeland security grappling with husband's secret cross-dressing double life in anti-LGBTQ admin

The national average gas price is now over $4/gallon — the highest level in four years. Big Oil, which spent almost $100 million backing Trump in 2024, could see a nearly $60B windfall from these price shocks. Trump's buddies will make a killing while you pay the price at the pump.

I think it says a lot about the competency and expertise of Fox News anchors that every time one of them gets promoted to a cabinet position, they are by a considerable margin the least competent individuals to ever hold those positions.

Most people still don't understand what is coming in the world of energy. This graph should help but what would be good is to see this everywhere in the media so the public understood that what they think they know about renewable tech and EVs is not up to date.

If you don't know, google Afroman in the recent news. And on youtube.

A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

Remember: The richest 1% evade roughly $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Let’s have some positive news for a change. At this point the electrification of everything seems not only possible but inevitable:

housing is more expensive now, but also a lot safer. this kind of home was considered cream of the crop in the 1980s

I don't think gas in the US is that expensive. I think it's priced far too low. Car culture needs to finally pay for itself and stop being subsidized by taxpayers at every single angle. But wait, there's more. 🧵 1/4

I prepared my lecture today.

Virginia lawmakers passed a new bill that lets people use small plug-in #solar panels on #balconies to make some of their own electricity ☀️🔌. These portable panels can produce limited power (around 1,200 watts), helping renters and apartment residents lower energy bills without big construction 🏙️💡.

Will ICE still be at the airports in July when the World Cup starts? Truthfully, it's the USA's best chance to ever win a World Cup if the rest of the countries just boycott and don't show up.

Still early stages, but if this process can work at scale it could help with the difficult problem of plastic waste. uwaterloo.ca/news/media/w...

Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence. The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society

California is beating its own climate goals ahead of schedule: ✅ Two-thirds of the state grid powered by clean energy ✅ More than 2.5M electric vehicles ✅ 201K public chargers (more than gas nozzles) ✅ 17,000 MW of battery storage (2nd only to China) The cynics said it couldn't be done.

Excellent advice.

Imagine if instead of spending $1 billion a day on forever wars, we actually invested in one of America's oldest and most popular public services. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/17/nx-s1-5750419/usps-running-out-of-money-postal-service-david-steiner

What a clip! Wow. Everyone should watch this. Dude is so good at this.

Provides some insights into what is happening (or rather what is not happening) with regard to federal science grant making.

Right now, unfolding around us on a global scale, is a rich and unambiguous lesson on the dangers of fossil fuel dependence. The most obvious solution is for the affected countries to reduce their dependence through clean energy. Are you seeing that message in media?
