How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
For those of you on campus tomorrow, this is a reminder for our next BAARS with @flintdibble.bsky.social!
America is a failed state
If our country is to survive, we have to amend the constitution to limit the influence of money. And we need anti-corruption legislation immediately
This is beyond robber baron corruption
In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing
Oceans are rising as the climate changes, threatening coastal cities. A new study shows that much more of the world's population is vulnerable than earlier predictions had estimated. n.pr/40EoN1z
And it's one, two, three what are we figuring for?
New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."
It's a city of 10 million burning, creating toxic fumes. It is raining oil. The water is too acidic to drink or bathe in. This is an ecological and humanitarian disaster. These are war crimes
Tehran is burning. It's air and water are poisoned. These are war crimes committed against millions of innocent people. Impeach Trump now.
We are so fucked. Fuck every powerful person who isn't doing anything about this disaster
Fully agree
The reason we abhor the Nazis is because they imprisoned, tortured, and killed immense numbers of innocent civilians
Same reason we abhor Stalin and other cruel leaders
There is NO justification for the mass killing of civilians in Gaza, Iran, or Lebanon. It is evil
I love watching people use LLMs in public. They’ll reply to a breaking news article and say “@grok is this true?” Babe where do you think it’s about to pull its answer from
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
A bibliography of space archaeology and heritage. This is a field which has been around for 25 years. For space people realising space heritage exists for the first time, do a basic literature review! We haven't been hiding.

Gilead is here
On May 1, 2003, George W. Bush declared "Mission Accomplished"
The Iraq War began on March 20th, 2003 and ended December 18th, 2011
The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.
I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both
5 Calls can help you make the call:

No wonder he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize
This is critically important for our future. The struggle over ethical parameters for AI use will determine whether authoritarian states can enact mass surveillance of their populations at granular level and allow machines to decide to kill people.

Not the most important thing here clearly but the president announcing a war on his own weird social media platform is so fucking bizarre
this is what they said it would be like under socialism
Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.
Episode 3 of #ScienceCounterpunch is now live.
We talked to @cdelawalla.bsky.social about the all-out assault on US science; the role of resistence, her founding @standupforscience.bsky.social and how to fight back.
This is a MUST WATCH episode.

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.
Social media post: "How do we know that the great pyramids didn't create themselves?? After all, we don't know for certain how the pyramids were created. There are theories, but none of them are definitively 'proven,' and none of us were alive when they were constructed. Since we don't know exactly how they were built, isn't it fair to consider that they might have built themselves? Or that the Earth, as it was forming, just happened to include them already in place? Or that they somehow formed later on their own?"
Wake up babe, a hilarious new pyramidiot conspiracy theory just dropped
