I've been doing research on how solar shows up on YouTube and I love this video which talks about fossil fuels as 'disposable' energy. Increasingly I think the argument is 'We're doing... what? why? just point the glass panel at the sky!' www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...
This chart has really changed my outlook on biking. Now when I'm riding around town I think I about how I'm calorie mogging birds and fish.
If you want a reminder that the US automakers are all short-sighted dummies, remember that in January they all announced en masse that they're reducing EV production. Awesome work, guys. www.cnn.com/2026/03/09/e...
Even with the incredible multi-channel propaganda effort - when 9/11 was very vividly on people's minds - the war in Iraq led to the biggest Democratic wave elections in modern history. I really wonder what might happen next this time.
It is simultaneously a bad time to buy, sell, own or rent. What a time to be alive.
I don't know where people got the idea that Ken Paxton is somehow unelectable in a general election. He's won statewide office three times, including twice after being federally indicted. He's not a weak candidate.
I think a Republican will win the Senate in Texas no matter what, and frankly I'd rather see Paxton lose the primary in the hopes it convinces Texas Republicans to stop acting like Ken Paxton.
All the nice nature imagery would hit harder if you weren't sponsored by Chevron
Giving everyone in Texas access to an assault rifle without a background check or a license has been a disaster. Every single squirrel-brained grievance now can be expressed via mass violence. A nightmare for everyone at all times. kutv.com/news/nation-...
The only hope for America's future is to fire, prosecute, and imprison the majority of our ruling class. Impunity means death.
The ad and PR industry is full of wildly talented, caring people, and they've been so supportive of me, and this project. I know they'll keep pushing for change, backed by the incredible @cleancreatives.bsky.social team.
Clean Creatives started with me cold emailing strangers, and has grown to a network of 1500 agencies who have pledged not to work with fossil fuels in 60+ countries. As our Head of Organizing, Laura has been a huge part of that growth and I'm excited to elevate her leadership.
Life update: @cleancreatives.bsky.social has a new Executive Director! Laura Ranzato will be taking over my role on December 12, and I'll be doing some time off followed by new projects in 2026. www.adweek.com/brand-market...
I am very closely related to someone whose entire job is to assess and track students for IEPs. It's a job that requires a decade of work experience and advanced degrees, and done by people who care deeply for vulnerable students. Throwing out their work based vibes is offensively stupid.

I have never once intentionally clicked on a button with that stupid sparkles emoji that big tech uses to indicate 'make it with AI' and every time I've done it by accident I've been incredibly annoyed.
I often have to make ads on LinkedIn for work and today I had to click 'no' on exactly 8 prompts to make my ad with AI. If it's that good, or good for me, something tells me they wouldn't need to sell it so hard.
After Khashoggi was killed, Edelman started listing Saudi Arabia as one of the most trusted governments in the world in their in-house propaganda report, The Trust Barometer.
Richard Edelman personally hosts meet and greets for Saudi government leaders www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023...
Everything about the Saudi government's global image strategy has been led by Edelman, from golf to 'sustainable tourism' to weird cities in the desert.

When you try to do the things Microsoft advertises you can do with their AI assistant, the AI assistant simply cannot do those things. We're burning down the planet for... this. www.theverge.com/report/82244...
API thinks it wasn't nice enough to them, interestingly.
What's insane is that according to the American Petroleum Institute, Landman isn't pro-oil ENOUGH. They bought ads specifically against the program to promote their own message. www.mrt.com/business/oil...
We still have so much work to do, but that fact that progress is still being made in the midst of shocking violence and the rise of brutal reactionaries is astonishing and encouraging.
I feel like that mix of hope and fear is still front and center in many ways in my life, but I'm trying to approach it with more softness and kindness than I did in the years following 2015.
I took me a few years to work through the feelings I had about being that close to so much violence.
Paradoxically, those weeks were the first time I realized Donald Trump's brand of xenophobia and hate could win, and the first time I thought we had a chance to win on climate change.
We went to a movie instead, and shortly after I left my neighborhood, a group of terrorists ran through it, killing dozens of people up and down the street I was staying on, and then at the Bataclan itself.
10 years ago I was in Paris awaiting the start of the UN Climate Talks when I convinced my friend that we shouldn't go to a concert at the Bataclan.
This is the news I was hoping for. Thank you for running a great site.
