I don't think grammarly should just get to do "sorry deleting now" after ventriloquizing living and dead people without their consent to make money

My guess is that it is allowed. Doesn't make it ethical though. This is a recurring issue with climate-skeptic research, "experts" in totally unrelated fields publish papers, sometimes listing impressive credentials, but don't have a lick of experience studying climate science.

Ask a Scientist: How Do the Polar Regions Impact You? For the past three decades, glaciologist Helen Amanda Fricker has been investigating polar regions — the fastest changing areas on Earth. By studying the Arctic and Antarctic, she and other scientists...

Two pack and plays full of various sized goats

Holy shit. A catastrophic storm just ripped our baby goat shelter out of the ground. And these guys are way too big to confine in these playpens.

Oh dear...

remember this? the authors are back at it with another paper claiming the ipcc's conclusions about ocean heat content are fatally flawed scienceofclimatechange.org/wp-content/u...

Interestingly enough, the Grok authorship is not as front and center as in last year's paper. Wondering if I'll get harassment emails claimed to be written by the AI author in reply to my work if I debunk this one too 🤔... (sorry, retyped this cause I had left a typo in there and it bothered me!).

I should've also noted there's a sector of society--a academic/ progressive intersection--that believes that getting language right is everything, either a substitute or a magical incantation for real change. (Which also covers for people who are malicious but have mastered the vocabulary.)

The She Made Him Do It Theory of Everything The rhetoric and logic of the abuse of power operates similarly at all scales, which is why I've found feminism such useful equipment for understanding authoritarians in public and political life. Bec...

All conversations lead to this.

Speaking of misogyny, it's like climate people are the woman who just need to be more beautiful, sexy, charming, irresistible, flawless, understanding so the man will behave himself. No pressure on the man to stop the bad behavior.

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Americans Are Uniquely Infatuated With Bald Eagles. Too Bad Most of Us Have No Idea What They’re Actually Like. For one thing, there's the sound they make.

This is a delightful profile of bald eagles, which are kleptoparasites (they steal food from others), have talons the size of your thumb that lock onto prey, and sound like they're ... giggling. slate.com/technology/2... by @bittelmethis.bsky.social on @slate.com

Going to the White House isn't political, says the guy who let the FBIs very own Make A Wish kid chug a beer with them in the locker room while the President called on speakerphone to shit on the Women's Team

It's official: US Gold Winning Olympic Hockey team declined invitation to be political props for Trump at the SOTU tomorrow

The women, that is

The men are still too stupid, self-absorbed and misogynistic to realize that going, will stick to them permanently

a man in a tuxedo says " you know what? nevermind, man " Alt: Will Smith from Fresh Prince. He says "You know what? Never mind, man."

Me, watching Heated Rivalry: "Maybe I'll get into men's hockey."

Me, seeing the men's Olympic hockey team celebrate with a fascist:

Here’s a screen recording of the video where Kash Patel has Trump on the phone with the U.S. men’s hockey team and Trump invites them all to the SOTU, adding that he’ll have to invite the women’s team as well (to laughter from the men) or else he’ll be impeached

The Washington Post and the tragic decline of newspapers And, just maybe, of climate journalism.

Source is former Washington Post climate reporter @chrismooney.bsky.social's devastating account of the decline of climate coverage. reportearth.substack.com/p/the-washin...

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Extreme Cold Is a Billion-Dollar Problem, Too If you’re a climate-change denier in the eastern US, including the president, then the past few weeks have been a dream. It’s cold and snowy where I live, you might say, colder and snowier than in yea...

For the deniers: Just because you can make a snowball today, that doesn’t negate the reality of climate change

Here’s last night’s story about Twitter, how it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, and the real reason why John won’t be tweeting in the future. Hint: it has something to do with his amazing feet. youtu.be/p7ZG_xWYLzI

Fact-check header image reads: "Are trans people most likely to commit mass shootings?" FALSE with red banner covering flawed data shared on social media

📊I usually do not sign non-climate pieces any more but felt this one was so important to share on Bsky considering the harmful narratives that have been going viral. This graph that's been doing the rounds online is absolutely flawed, crime experts and statisticians tell me: u.afp.com/chartshootings
