Journos finally catching up with a trajectory evident to historians since 2015. Better late than never, I guess. Parents, whatever else they study, encourage your kids to enrol in history units too - while history units still exist. www.afr.com/world/north-... #everythinghasahistory #trumperica

There is NO FUTURE where humanity continues to burn fossil fuels. None. It's physically impossible. In 100 years NO ONE will burn fossil fuels & the whole idea will be considered insane. The ONLY question is how do we get there & how soon. The variables in that question are how many generations

The thing about antivaxxers is that they’re all vaccinated. Even their most fundamental beliefs are stolen valor. They don’t take on any risk, they just put other people - often infants and children - at risk to try to make some point. And the point they want to make has been disproven so many times

He’s such a miserable dick. He’s always a miserable victim. Everybody is always out to screw him. What a fucking miserable outlook on life. And btw, he’s saying yet again exactly what Putin wants him to say. He’s working for Putin.

Global sea ice continues to set new record daily lows. Yesterday's record low extent was 2,053,000 square kilometers below the 1991-2020 average. I know I've been posting these images a lot lately, but the ongoing collapse of global sea ice is quite obviously the top story on the planet right now.

In the past, when presidents tried to trim the number of government employees, the result was not lowering the cost of the government. This is because those jobs were often given to private contractors at higher rates. So it is no coincidence that a big private contractor is running this DOGE scam.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

Are folks here following the Grok Scandal? Apparently there’s significant evidence that Grok was compromised at some point in the last 48 hours by a code intrusion that instructed it to avoid disparaging Musk or Trump. And the entity supposedly pointing a finger at Musk for all this... ...is Grok.

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Conservatives sieg heil-ing for the camera is about them playing a game of chicken with the media. Every time an outlet calls it a “Roman salute” or a “provocative hand gesture” the conservative proves who holds the power.
