Genocide. War crimes. Starvation. Gaza. The West Bank. The Israeli government. Netanyahu's role. Former GOP Congressman Joe Walsh and I got into a rather heated debate on all of the above on 'Mehdi Unfiltered.' Watch the full interview and subscribe to Zeteo here:

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed? I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism 👀 September 2025 @wwnorton.bsky.social

I get talked over a lot by people that don’t read Chinese saying that it’ll happen and let me tell you Xi will tank his popularity because Chinese people hate seeing their public money go to the global south as grants or aid projects

I just want everyone to know that greta thunberg is still actively protesting. Today she was protesting at Maersk HQ because they are still shipping weapons to Israel. But weirdly medias no longer give her screen time. Huh. that's weird.

I truly believe that we as Americans would be less on edge and constantly ready to fight each other if we just replaced guns in the home with bidets. The only shooting we should be doing is water up our butts.

Wow. The Trump administration treated Zelensky to public humiliation based on outright lies farmed about by a genocidal oppressor, I mean almost just like the Clinton administration treated Arafat when he refused to sign away the rights of his people. (Not really) unprecedented.

People are so fixated on the US that they believe wars are won or lost merely with US support. Ukraine still has a large chance to deny Russia victory, even if it is unlikely to recover some of its territory (which it was unlikely to recover even with US support).

If you let an electron touch a positron (anti-matter version of electron) they'll both annihilate into gamma rays but if you are VERY careful and let them get close but NOT touch then they can form a bound state called positronium that acts kinda like a hydrogen atom for a few hundred nanoseconds 💫

Not to be too sanguine, but Russia has a population of 143 million, Ukraine has a population of 33 million. Even if Trump throws Ukraine under the bus (more and more probable), it's going to be a bitch for Russia to secure its occupation, it's just a huge bleeding ulcer.

I’m a federal employee, a research meteorologist at a NOAA lab (OAR-NSSL). I still have my job tonight. Many of my NOAA colleagues and many more of my fellow civil servants don’t. I want to share what people like me do. Instead of doomscrolling, maybe we can learn what civil service looks like.

Philanthropy should never be a substitute for public services, but this is where we are. Kudos to the Macarthur Foundation for this move. The rest of philanthropy needs to step up. Now. As @nonprofitaf.bsky.social says, "Dear funders: your endowments will be worthless in a fascist state."

Modi calls Trump's 'Make America Great Again' (MAGA) and his 'Make India Great Again' (MIGA) is a MEGA partnership. He forgets MAGA racists see Indians as job stealers and culturally inferior. #MyPiece scroll.in/article/1079...

Christopher Harding uses the new season of The White Lotus, set in Thailand, as a springboard to explore the West’s fascination with Eastern spirituality. (As an aside, those simians have to be a reference to what Buddhism calls “the monkey mind”.) engelsbergideas.com/essays/the-s...

Have you ever sang Waltzing Matilda wondering what a 'billabong' was? In Australian English, it usually means an oxbow lake formed when a river shifts course It is derived from the language of the Wiradjuri, the largest Aboriginal people indigenous to New South Wales
