It is both true: 1) Fossil fuels made possible unprecedented human prosperity during the last 150 years. 2) Their byproducts are harmful. We've reached a level where we can replace fossil fuels and still ensure human well-being, but some prefer to keep polluting. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/c...

No, America should not privatize Amtrak "like China." But we could learn a thing or two from their rail success. (Spoiler: it's largely state-funded.)

Musk told the Polish FM, a long-standing conservative ally of the US, "be quiet small man". What I find so fascinating about Trump, Vance and Musk's verbal abuse of Ukrainians & Polish officials etc, is: can you imagine them speaking like this to a Russian or Chinese official?

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

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

A stark reminder of the power and discipline of rightwing messaging (propaganda) and the utter weakness and ineffectiveness of liberal messaging. More Americans now believe Trump won a bigger popular vote margin in 2024 than Biden won in 2020 (he didn’t of course).

Tribalismo Político: Tendencia a identificarse intensamente con un grupo político, priorizando la lealtad al mismo sobre el interés colectivo o el análisis racional de las situaciones. Desde enfoques emocionales, fomenta la idea de que los rivales son enemigos en lugar de oponentes legítimos.

Hay muchas cosas que asustan del discurso de Trump. Lo que más me asusta es el discurso totalmente supremasista. Ese discurso de "podemos hacer lo que nos canta porque somos Estados Unidos de América y nadie nos va a impedir". Delirante.
