Explaining Climate Change to an American: "Imagine being allergic to hamburger-"

no propaganda can really stand up to letting an israeli open their mouth

The BBC defended a joke about bombing Glastonbury to kill Corbyn supporters, but apologised for jokes about throwing milkshake on Farage and Tommy Robinson made on the very same show. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... #Glastonbury #Kneecap #BobVylan

Links, wie Cops mit gewaltfreien Aktivist*innen umgehen. Rechts, wie Cops mit Nazis umgehen. #Polizeiproblem

I have literally never seen a graph like this once in all my years of being an election sicko 18-24 always lags, always, it’s just a natural law of politics and this is the guy they want to throw out of the party?!

me turning a homie into a goatie

broke & French: "croissant" woke: "summits"

Trans man, and church volunteer, was asked out by preacher Venessa Pinto He politely said no She harassed him He reported her to the Bishop of Leicester, Martyn Snow The Bishop investigated Jay, accused him of witchcraft, and demanded he face his abuser www.bbc.com/news/article...

Billionaires driving warming more than all of commercial Heathrow. How consistent with their destructive data farms and pipelines, megayachts and fake "intelligence." A plague on billionaires.

Climate mitigation and adaptation measures are not costs. They are investments. The true costs occur when mitigation fails and adaptation is too slow so we suffer from continually worsening extreme weather events like heatwaves and floods. Invest now to reduce costs in future.

The US is falling behind the curve on solar power – a key energy source of the 21st century. We are losing our edge to China on the technology that we originally invented. Now Senate republicans want to take out our solar industry at the knees in their "Big Beautiful Bill":

Sprawl locks in car dependency, alienation, loneliness, and higher costs for municipal services and utilities. Sprawl displaces farmland, natural habitat, and open space. Sprawl is climate denialism.

I cannot do enough to stress how much money the executive class simply helps itself to, and how much it really is just that - helping themselves. Once again I say - the problem with “AAA” game dev is not “games are too expensive to make.” It’s that game execs are too expensive to pay.

every liberal spent the last 9 years convincing themselves that 100% of the left voted for Trump (despite the left begging centrists to take him as a serious threat while the center gave him free advertising) that they're now SO excited they get to vote to be racist AND punish young people

For some people, a perfectly normal landscape looks like an alien world as they never had the slightest impetus to look at the world around themselves until it gets sold to them as a game, or a film.

The Democrats are really forming Pedophile Voltron to try to stop Mamdani

It is very cool and not concerning at all that rfk has replaced all of US government science admin with a bunch of weird pedophile antivax wellness influencers who can't help but outsource all their work to the machine that tells you that you can add gasoline to spaghetti sauce.

One thing I very much dislike about Wikipedia is how inconsistent it is: Articles in one language, say German, often directly contradict other languages, like English. Articles in the same language but on the same topic can directly contradict each other.

If like me you care about media being usable after official support ends, check it: eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#... If you're an EU citizen leaving your signature's quick enough. If you're not, you can at least pass it around. Either way thanks! Bit more info in 🧵 #stopkillinggames

The masked agents pull up quickly. They jump out of unmarked vans. They wear blue jeans or battle fatigues. They approach Latinos, yelling and carrying assault rifles. If someone runs, they’re taken. If they don’t answer a question, they’re taken. If they can’t produce papers, they’re taken.

You ever think of how much good he could have done with that metaverse bullshit money? Like he could have cut childhood poverty in half and been beloved for generations but instead he was like LEGS LEGS LEGS and no one got anything at all except those funny pictures of him

Well the “NOAA Climate” and “NASA Climate” social media feeds - a key tool to communicate the massive challenge of climate change to the world - are now gone.

Endlich! Der Mann hat übrigens auch schon Kindergarten-Kinder und Lehrlinge für ihre «unschweizerischen» Namen an den Pranger gestellt oder ein Video geteilt, in dem ein Impfzentrum mit einem KZ gleichgesetzt wurde. Und sowas sitzt (immer noch) im Parlament.

#FossilFriday Elrathia kingi is one of the most common trilobites in the Cambrian rocks of Utah’s West Desert. Thousands are found yearly—many geologists have one on their fridge. Yet this specimen - first published in 2008 - is the only one I know of that preserves both limbs and gut remains. 🤩

The poor "Sea Ice Index" nsidc.org/data/seaice_... 😢 See thread for more on this tragic data loss: bsky.app/profile/zack...

Next time somebody talks about "the Iraq war" or "the Vietnam war" I will ask "which one?". Iraq and Viet Nam had many wars in the past, it makes no sense to talk about the Second Gulf War as "the war" or the Second Indochina War as "the war".

Believe it or not, the usual suspects are trying to sell the little blip at the end of the Antarctic ice loss curve (due to a few strong snowfall events in East Antarctica) as proof that "global warming is a hoax". It shows once again that "climate skeptics" don't have honest arguments.

CEO compensation graphed next to employee compensation. 🙃

We should never let this dude forget that he was famous for getting away with premeditated murder.

For everonye outside of germany, a superrich family fumbled dodging taxes and now paid the record sum of 4 BILLION euros. Which would cover nationwide child coverage by 166% That is the amount of money countries miss out on due to rich people evading taxes

people really have some strange ideas about what exactly government is and isn't. "there's no way this body of people, money, and authority could ever possibly run a grocery store! now the Walton family, on the other hand, endowed by their Creator with the Grocer's Eye,"

I didn’t realize the Star Wars galaxy itself was trans!

watching youtube videos about rare stuff to find in No Man's Sky and like half of this stuff I have seen more than once now: Light-fissure planets, scaled, floating islands, mechanical fauna (multiple ones per planet), I've seen a moon intersecting with a planetary ring, etc

more goats!! #art #zigzart
