Trump threatens Canada again, confirms tariffs are blackmail: "Canada, we have a tremendous deficit with Canada. We're not gonna have that anymore. As you probably know, I say you can always become a state. If you're a state, we won't have a deficit, we won't have to tariff you."

Trump is threatening to arrest local and state officials, especially in Blue states, if they don’t participate in his ethnic cleansing campaign through mass deportations. Today it’ll be about “immigration” , tomorrow it’ll be about how they vote.

The earth gets drier and warmer, and #megadroughts have been increasing for 40 years and will do so in the future. Substantial negative impacts on #water supply, #agriculture and all #ecosystem services are to be expected. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

If you are in those areas and you aren't masking you have NO IDEA what you're breathing in - Altadena in particular was full of very, very old homes that predated current regulations. Asbestos, lead paint, etc - you don't want any of it in your lungs. Mask up.

It's 2024, games should not be launching without subtitles. For a game to count as having subtitles, they need to actually be readable. Far too many are not. Can we please have none of this in 2025. Collectively as an industry we need to be doing better, our players deserve better.

If this chart says to you "the climate/1.5C was screwed either way", then you've missed a fundamental truth about global warming: –every fraction of a degree matters –every tonne of CO2 counts –every delay makes escalating climate impacts on people + planet harder to avoid www.carbonbrief.org/...

In less than 24 hours, Hurricane Milton exploded in strength, with speeds doubling, going from a Cat 1 to a Cat 5 storm. All because of the record-warm temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico. Don't listen to anyone saying climate change isn't affecting hurricanes.

Really exciting stuff happening in oncology, y'all. A doctor with glioblastoma—an aggressive brain cancer that kills most patients less than a year after diagnosis—has now been cancer-free for a year, thanks to a world-first personalized vaccine. www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

Are we alive here, tech community? X, the network formerly known asTwitter, stinks even more lately, but can't see either Mastodon or BlueSky actually living up as a replacement. Am I missing it?
