I was unaware how much tobacco marketers went on to influence our perceptions of climate change.
It's always eye-opening -- and inspiring -- to speak with atmospheric scientist and educator @katharinehayhoe.com:
Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.
PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.
Some not great news out of Portland State University. www.oregonlive.com/education/20...
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
For all the but how can we afford space exploration folksβ¦this means weβve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.
Rocks! On Maaaaaaaaaars!
Here are some rocks on Mars, photographed Sunday.
Star Trek fans: buy physical media of everything
Esto es algo que digo ya abiertamente: creo que la IA es un paywall del conocimiento. Ahora estamos en la fase de enganche (si, como la droga), accesible y a precios razonables o gratis. En poco tiempo se tirarΓ‘ la carta de los rentabilidad y empezarΓ‘ la enshitificacion. Precios πΊ, prestaciones π»π»π»
The "espresso martini" brunette hair color trend feels rich, picture of a pretty lady (gracie abrams?) with such hair
Hearing about this new trend. It's called brown hair
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports

Starting this Friday, four separate #JWST programmes will be exploring physical processes in Jupiter's atmosphere and ionosphere. We're asking amateur astronomers to help provide context imaging over the next few weeks to understand how the atmosphere is changing with time. #planetaryscience
Itβs 2026 right? Why are people posting about who I have to vote for in 2028 or else
Was not expecting this on my lunchtime doomscroll
The SAVE America Act would require Americans to prove their citizenship when registering to vote, mostly through a valid passport or birth certificate. It would also require a valid photo identification before voters can cast ballots, which some states already demand. https://to.pbs.org/4qJLLPq

This video on the rise of Russ Vought is based on scores of interviews, thousands of pages of emails and dozens of hours of videos and recordings of private briefings given by Vought, most of which have not been previously reported.
I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
This is where my prediction comes true: the insane opposition to mRNA vaccines, without any scientific basis, is going to start killing people. Tip of the iceberg, and weβre all on the boat. π§ͺ βοΈ #medsky

From a Comrade 19h. C One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin Cities right now is that even the most long term organizers who've been here for decades can't keep track of all the resistance that is going on. There are so many self-organized crews just doing work that in any conversation with someone from another neighborhood you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free. People delivering food to families in hiding. So many local rapid response groups that the number is uncertain but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds- especially when one considers that several immigrant communities have their own non-English rapid response networks usually uncounted in the main English-language directories. People standing watch outside daycares and schools. This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative and leadership, so many layers of self-organization, that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of course, that's built up through many years and decades of organization, and not only through explicitiv political campaigns or formations built during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building, workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic relationship building among neighbors and coworkers here.

it's probably fine
The right-wing push against the average citizen masking was never just about COVID19.
Masking was banned in several jurisdictions because it hampers facial recognition.
wrong
Everything moves so fast now. It's impossible to give every event the care and attention it deserves, especially when the bar is "at least no one died."
But what happened in Portland outside the ICE building was evidence of yet another escalationβand a terrifying harbinger of things to come.
Trump claims he wants to cap credit card interest rates.
But before his announcement, his own regulators filed a legal brief opposing a Colorado law that would do just that.
Donβt believe his fake populism for a second. He will always govern for the rich and powerful β not you.
