(am serious, this is actually from his Truth Social account at truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT..., if you haven't seen it)

I get annoyed at the narrative that all the awareness and work on climate change hasn't done anything. Yes, global CO₂ emissions indeed continue to climb, but we don't know the counterfactual. When I was in grad school, we were on track for 5°C of warming. Now it's below 3°C. That's progress.

The Splatoon kids still keeping it real

So transparently a war of choice that gives the people of the world nothing. It's so sad and frustrating

Solar + storage is now cheater than coal & nuclear. Combining solar with wind, water and/or geothermal reduces the amount of storage needed. We are closing in on 24/7/365 firmed renewable energy. #TheFutureWillBeElectric #FossilFuelsAreStrandedAssets 💪👏🧪🔌💡☀️💨🔋

The song is actually a pretty good bit. These are the people that insist on the biological nature of gender and god being a him so... you know he's packing. There's a fair bit of textual evidence that rabbi's have at times wrestled with this truth.

AAAAAAAAAAAAH

Astonishing how capitalism is destroying itself, unfortunately taking humanity with it... What a nice graph!

incredible things are happening in China

I wrote a book an age ago about this sort of thing. In fact, Facebook’s (now Meta’s) l earliest similarly unethical uses of the web were a big trigger for why I wrote it. What sorts of places are we making with information? And how do those architectures tell the truth or lie to our perception?

Basically never listen to what someone with a megaphone who you don't know is telling you to do. Anyone can bring a megaphone to a protest, and most of the people who do are fucking idiots

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

There are other newsletter publishers, and I reckon people should use a publisher that doesn’t take Nazi money and spread Nazi views

As many of us people who study or work in tech tried to tell y’all, move fast & break things was always about POWER, not progress.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Beautiful. Strongly reminiscent of roots of polynomials with coefficients ±1 explored here. math.ucr.edu/home/baez/ro...

You won't hear this from the legacy media, but the May election confirmed that the two-party system is on its last legs. #auspol

Scientists and Traditional Owners are outraged that the WA Government has interfered with a report into the effects of industry pollution on the ancient Murujuga rock art, downplaying the impacts of pollution from the North West Shelf gas export hub. Add your name: theaus.in/savemurujuga

Like I said the other day, not only is the song brilliant but this video is the best. The frantic dancing! Raffaella (even though she's miming to Claudia Mori's voice)! The mirrors that mean you can never actually tell how many dancers there are. I love it.

Excited to introduce Bearwyn Honeyseer, and our magical creatures collection! How do you like Bearwyn, and what other creatures do you think would make good magical companions for them? #art #witchsky #gaybear #furryart

Lots of people talking about this, but, uh... not enough people are talking about his willingness to talk without a lawyer present.

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. (QT @ianboudreau.com)
