TV news has just about given up on correcting Trump's lies. They run clips of Trump's absurd statements, such as claiming LA would've burned down without him, and they leave it at that. Mainstream media over-all seems to have decided that a president lying is normal, no longer newsworthy.

Corals, climate change, ocean acidification, geoengineering, US politics, and energy system transition all wrapped up into one 17 minute segment. This is the best interview I have done in a long time. Thank you Kylie Morris and Fran Kelly of ABC (Australia) radio. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Nailed it. RFK Jr has picked Malone, who is certifiably nuts, and Kulldorff, who has a massive victim complex (Bhattacharya’s co-defendant in Murthy; the govt did not censor him either). The antivax HHS guy is naming antivaxxers to ACIP. Imagine that, @gorskon.bsky.social. x.com/SecKennedy/s...

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet.
