Finally approaching Berlin… 10 hours 🚆 and €74 ticket 🎫 so I can vote in the Bundestagswahl tomorrow Ought not be necessary, but I can’t let what happened at the EP election happen again, and my postal vote papers not get to me #BTW25

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Close encounters with Galapagos sharks last week at Wolf Island, in the Galapagos Marine Reserve.

When you hear airlines talk about sustainable aviation fuel… it will not be a viable solution any time soon.

For the babies that have died Because of evil men's desires And the evil silencing of Indigenous voices Crushed by colonisation.

Now THAT’S how you cover Agent Orange, the Russian operative and Putin poodle.

America First...Buy American... Putin did.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

🗳️ Germany heads to the polls on Feb 23. But what do voters think about climate leadership? A 2024 survey by @earth4all.life, @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social & GCA shows widespread concern about climate and nature – citizens want urgent action: globalcommonsalliance.org/news/causing... #GermanElections

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Whenever anyone laments the state we’re in, they’re met with a chorus of “but what do we do?” As plenty of good options are available, this response might often be wilful impotence*. I invite you all to nominate in this thread the best proposals and practices, around which we should gather. Thanks

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Yep! This 100 percent!

Trans rights are human rights.

Sounds like a plan

I challenge anyone to find a better energy pairing than solar + battery storage. Nuclear, LNG & hydrogen are just band-aids—slow, costly & inefficient. The EU can slash €9bn/yr in gas costs by scaling batteries & using excess renewables. The future is clean, fast & local.🔋☀️ #BESS #EnergyTransition

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Pressure is growing on the Royal Society to expel Elon Musk from its fellowship after more than a thousand scientists signed an open letter expressing dismay at its lack of action on the matter www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Vance needs to sit down. W have nice couches here in Europe, he would be better placed on one of them than hypocritically lecturing us.

We have a conference coming up here in Basel, reimagining #consumption for a #sustainable future 24-28 March. There is a QR code in one of images if you want to sign up!

"While SAF [Sustainable Aviation Fuel] has a role to play in decarbonisation, growth sits in clear opposition to its impacts and potential. If the UK has any hope of meeting its climate targets, it should instead be seeking alternatives to flying where possible". see @flightfreeuk.bsky.social

When I left Twitter I had a 1M followers and 100K tweets. You know what happen to me when it was all gone? Nothing. To the Twitter refugees who I see fretting about losing contacts and content by deleting Twitter, trust, you'll be fine. They have convinced us that we need them. Nope. They need US.

Good write up on how the German e-fuels lobby has managed to get fictional solutions into legislation to delay the inevitable transition and prolong the life of fossil fuel (pumps).

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

Reviewer: "I am not sure what you mean by this." Me: reads the sentence three times Me: "Neither am I" @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Brexit making the headlines.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Another tech mirage fades away www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵

This is AMAZING news! Fuck Amazon www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Sounds like a plan

Twitter/X is a dangerous propaganda site. It's beyond me why anyone is still there. I had deleted all my tweets and locked my account... but deleted it yesterday. Please leave Twitter, everyone.

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers. Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

Are you a young scholar working on cities and climate change? Maybe you want to be an @ipcc.bsky.social chapter scientist for the Special Report on cities. Check it out: www.ipcc.ch/2025/01/27/c...

🧪 If I were Canadian PM I would immediately: 1. Create a new $15B science fund 2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada 3. Immediate permanent residency 4. Citizenship after 2 years Overnight a science superpower

“Stopping climate change & preventing mass biodiversity loss will not happen unless humans are prepared to radically change their lifestyle & use what our planet can provide, because there are not enough resources for the infinite growth model to continue.” #degrowth theecologist.org/2024/dec/12/...

I will be thinking about this tweet for the next four years

3 in 4 people in 77 countries want to replace fossil fuels with clean energy #climatepolitics leahy.substack.com/p/you-are-no...

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.
