Hard to believe it’s going to rain all weekend! Lovely winter sunset bathing the NOC canteen and RRS James Cook @unisouthampton.bsky.social 🌊

one recurring nightmare I have is where I’ve accidentally committed a murder and totally forgotten about it until a plucky detective starts poking around

In a 1.5°C future, there's still a lot of fossil fuels, but they're just in the ground.

Look I never play this card but I studied German politics and the rise of fascism and this IS THAT. We have arrived at the end game. Not hyperbole or exaggeration this is THE EXACT LANGUAGE. Anyone who has studied this recognizes it like a meteorologist seeing a gathering hurricane

@mindtechnologylab.bsky.social please why is the feed not loading

Oh yeah, the economy was doing awesome in 1932. Nobody Google that. I'm sure President History Guy has it right.

ah yes, what is worse? passing a law through congress to add more seats to the supreme court — as per congress’ explicitly stated constitutional authority — or a violent coup to overturn the constitutional order?
