personally I agree that we should indeed reject the hollow pluralism of pretending that we shouldn't judge Klan, Nazi, and sparkling eugenicist subcultures according to what they have historically produced, and would enthusiastically endorse rejecting inclusion of them in public life
Palantir-bros: "we should reject hollow pluralism. empathy is evil"
The masses: "Okay, your technofash ideas about what culture is and should be are worth less than the paper they're written on."
Palantir-bros: "wait, not like that! we should bring back grace and empathy, but only for tech CEOs"
This is tonight! I'm glad to see more people doing climate comedy. My radio show involves a lot of improv comedy as we read the week's climate news and crack jokes about it.

The Trump administration has delayed billions of dollars for projects to protect Americans from floods, wildfires and hurricanes. Local leaders are increasingly anxious.
What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”
Young Israeli voters shifting right, Netanyahu leads as preferred candidate - poll A recent survey reveals a significant shift in young Israeli voters' political preferences, with a growing right-wing alignment and strong support for Netanyahu.
The survey finds that 56% of this age group considers itself right-wing, compared with 44% of Israelis aged 23 and older. Among younger Israelis, 22% describe themselves as center-right, 14% as centrist (compared with 27% of older Israelis), and 8% identify as center-left or left-wing.
Israel isn't going to stop. They have to BE stopped. Because this is a problem way, WAY beyond just Netanyahu.
If you listen to my radio shows online or on the air, you'll hear about climate change at least once per week!

Trump’s Interior Department just announced a meeting of the Endangered Species Extinction Committee (aka the God Squad) later this month. The meeting will cover an exemption under the Endangered Species Act for oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

I anticipated that the energy transition would not go smoothly but I seriously underestimated just how stupid it would be
It’s weird how much it upsets people when I talk about how the American apparatus has had and continues to have a genocidal attitude toward Black people and its not because they’re upset about the genocidalism, it’s that they don’t want to confront their own normalization of anti-Black violence
A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked RFK Jr.’s overhaul of the childhood vaccine schedule. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other medical groups sued the Department of Health and Human Services arguing Kennedy’s changes violated federal law. The judge agreed.
Somewhere around $4 a gallon is where car shoppers will start going electric en masse, according to Steven Cegelka, chief operating officer of Ignition Dealer Services, a consultancy for car dealerships -- from Kyle Stock's @bloomberg.com story: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
I would love to do nonprofit work again, especially if it's climate related.
I haven't found many local options that are hiring. I've found a few remote positions, but none have gotten back to me.
I'd love any suggestions. My other options at this point are retail or not having enough income.
Fossil fuels are fragile. They're easily spooked, vulnerable to weather, stress, and military attack. They're finite, easily manipulated tools of the powerful and bludgeons against the weak.
They're the favorite of autocrats everywhere.
Trump has tied us to their fate.
Donald Trump has suggested the US could use an Irish airport for military strikes on Iran even if Ireland objected.
"We have to side with our country during wartime!"
Actually no, we don't. That's just government imperialist propaganda.
Update: Israel and the U.S. launched strikes against Iran, and Iran retaliated with attacks on Israel and several Gulf countries.
Counterpoint: No.
ICE doesn’t need reform. Abolition and prosecution is the bare minimum.
Imagine if HEALTHCARE WAS FREE in America, as it is in Greenland. Just imagine. 🇺🇸🇬🇱
Applying for jobs that I would love to do is exciting! I just completed a thorough application for another climate-related position.
It would be *even more exciting* if one of these places hired me. 😆 Hopefully I'll find a good fit soon. In the meantime, it's refreshing to have promising options!
It's making more sense as to why Trump was very adamant about Nasry Asfura being the president.

There has been a real reluctance for people to say too much about ICE’s continued occupation in Minnesota because the headline was that ICE was leaving.
But ICE has consistently made statements themselves that they are only changing tactics—not withdrawing altogether.

Large electric powered container ships are already a reality.
When posting about this 2 years ago the so-called “experts” said it is impossible.
Can people stop listening to oil and gas “experts” soon?
I would absolutely be selling my blood plasma right now if it weren't for a medication I take that disqualifies me.
Here's hoping I find good income for good work sooner rather than later.
