In 2023, I sought to explain to a parliamentary committee what a structural collapse of the global food system would look like, and why this this is plausible - even likely. I think the likelihood has just ratcheted up a notch. I beg you to read and understand. Thanks

Anyone joining the clownservatives now is beclowning themselves and deserves what they get.
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
The report highlights the grim state of freshwater ecosystems, degraded marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and the risk of extinction for many species. But it also emphasizes the potential for improvement through conservation, restoration, and renewed connections between people and nature.
Definitely agree and it is a great interview.

Betting on the losing horse while Hegseth kicks the winning horse in the balls.
It's clear that "Defund the Police" back-fired as a political slogan and cause. What about "Disarm ICE". Let's defang them. Pull the guns, pull the chems, pull the abusive use of "non-lethal" weapons that blind protesters. Their only weapon should be a legit Judicial Warrant. No other.
FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now?
Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests
FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests?
Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face
@pivotpod.bsky.social @profgalloway.com @karaswisher.bsky.social Scott and Kara, I'd love to hear what you think of these AI Datacenter SPV funding vehicles. Is getting that level of debt off your books good corporate governance? Doesn't seem like it.

@callofduty.com I hate playing against waves of zombies. I never do it in any of your games. Now, in COD 7 you force it on me in the campaign? That's bullshit. Shame on you for laziness.

Bessaci started as a graffiti artist in his teens and evolved to elaborate paper cut-out sculptures, using #maps and photographs. buff.ly/Pe5SVUg #GeoHumanities
Is it really a question @nytimes.com? Shove your stupid quant method up your editorial ass and read someone else's newspaper. It's not a question. We ARE losing our democracy and you are too little, too late, with too much cowardice to help stop it.

Great article in The Guardian. Adapted from The Story of CO2 Is the Story of Everything: How Carbon Dioxide Made Our World by @peterbrannen.bsky.social . Excellent. Worth your time.
What if we changed city -> police contracts and made it so that the police union was liable for payouts like this, instead of the city. Would it drive change? Accountability? Because I'm not seeing any change now. Reforms are failing to reform behavior.

Man, it has been the longest fucking bad news year in history. And it’s only July. It’s exhausting. Even my science news is infected by GOP malevolence, cruelty, and incompetence. Stop the merry-go-round so I can get off. - former news junkie…
@profgalloway.com may want to rethink your stake in Shein. My kids won’t touch it because of the waste rep. Fatal flaw?

Thanks for writing these books Eoghan. I've really enjoyed them and recommended them to friends. We're hiking segments of the Beara Way at the end of June. We'll wave to Bofickil as we go by. Cheers!
Only now everyone on staff is a bit tainted by your bosses over-ambition and failure at the end - despite accomplishing so much. Best of luck and looking forward to hearing more from you.
@karinejean-pierre.bsky.social Sorry the Politico article is such bullshit (not posting it here). It never would have been written about a guy. It's ok if you are ambitious. That is a positive character trait. You did a great job.
Instead of useful shit like Flying Cars and touch screen message refrigerators that Sci-Fi promised, we get harmful shit like Facebook and Twitter / X. I’m feeling gypped.
Write a message, swipe it away when read. The screen on the fridge goes back to normal.
Re-watching the remake of Total Recall. The one with Colin Farrell. 2 questions? 1) Why is it always raining and dark in dystopian urban movies? 2) We have touch screens and smart refrigerators, why can’t I get the smart “message app” refrigerator featured in the movie?
