If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

Don't vacation in the US

Important thing to beat people over the head with: Trump has turned American cities into warzones and for fucking what? Prices are way up, jobs will be way down, the dollar is worth less, and now the highway is blocked off by cops. Maybe the Great Mythical Immigrant wasn’t the problem after all.

Global warming reached an estimated 1.51°C in May 2025. 'If the 15-year warming trend leading up to then continued, global warming would reach 2°C by December 2036' May was the first month below this trend in almost two years. Global warming accelerated significantly!

It’s sort of funny how much the right-wing concept of “masculinity” resembles the untutored impulses of an adolescent boy.

Beech Fern (Phegopteris connectilis), a beautiful little fern of limestone woodland and mountain scree. It is named after the pinnae, which are connected at the base along the rachis. Here tucked into a rock crevice on Cwm Idwal, Snowdonia. #ferns #botany @bsbibotany.bsky.social

i know no one cares about hypocrisy or shamelessness or anything anymore but these people really used to tell us they were scared of an armed govt being turned against americans, they made an entire career out of it

CO₂ at Mauna Loa just reached a monthly average of >430 ppm for the first time. That's possibly higher than in over 3.3 million years. The global RATE of increase is off the chart. It's hard to exaggerate how unprecedented this is!

If you look up "hell" in the dictionary, I'm pretty sure it describes circling above Orlando for two hours while a tween does karaoke over the plane's intercom. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Mhavn1/

Methinks Meg O'Neill needs to take a hard look in the mirror.

Honestly why would NZF work with anyone else? They got exponentially more power with Luxon than they did Ardern. It's obvious who the easy mark is #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Remember, you're not pirating media, you're scraping training data for your brain.

Just call it the Self-Inflicted Wound Era, when we took a bunch of stuff that was working largely fine (vaccines, weather monitoring, friendly relations with like 175 countries, cancer research, renewable energy credits, the FAA, global trade, etc etc) and just broke them for giggles

Reading the #MAHA report elicits this response from me. #sciencesky #publichealthsky

I know he's younger than the previous pontiff, but even so, this is pretty impressive stuff given the limited time he'll have had in nets recently.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that it turns out that protecting your animals and your grass from the scorching sun and weather has positive results. Have pointed out previously how any time you see a paddock with a tree, all the farm animals are under it farmingdale-observer.com/2025/05/22/1...

I'm not the only one asking this www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Why has nobody invented an accelerometer-based bell for cats? The slower it moves, the louder/more frequent the bell should sound. It's when cats slow down that the danger is coming. Should be achievable with a little device powered by a button cell battery?
