Time to use Amazon like they used to use brick-and-mortar book stores!

If you're not sure what these streaks are, they're an international environmental disaster possible only thanks to a long history of selective nonenforcement against a company with an almost pathological disregard for health, safety, and environmental protection.

We threw out a hundred years of anti-corruption reforms overnight and so far barely anyone has even noticed.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

Every emerging fascist regime dreams of remaking education as dictator-worshipping propaganda. MAGA is no different. Which is why notorious Christian Nationalist and proposed ambassador to Israel Mick Huckabee has a whole "Kids Guide" indoctrination site. Praise be to our Supreme leaders!🤮

A key, decades-old conservative insight is that people like most of what government does, so their only hope of victory is to relentlessly abstract away from anything specific to "government" or "spending" or "bureaucracy," empty linguistic vessels into which they can more easily pour bile.

Great news! But justice delayed is still justice denied.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Not that we really need more ways to show how unusually warm 2024 was... Here's the joyplot updated with the past year.

“Mass heat mortality events…” damn I’m sad that will become a commonplace phrase.

As @gavinnewsom.bsky.social Gov Newsom said this afternoon, California no longer has a ‘fire season.’ Instead it’s a ‘fire year’

Breaking news! November, 2024, came in at the second warmest in recorded history, at 1.62°C above the pre-industrial baseline. Starting in June, 2023, there have now been 18 consecutive months above the pre-2023 record high, likely the hottest string of 18 months in the last 120,000+ years.
