AOC nails it, as usual. She should be president.

Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.

Journalists who attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner to party with Trump, Hegseth, Carr etc. are telling the regime that it's perfectly OK if they sic the FBI on them for doing their jobs.

Kennedy Says the Carnivore Diet Can Eliminate Dangerous Body Fat

It's nuts that journos have to fact-check diet idiocy.

Also worth noting that wind had the largest effect in cutting power prices here - a very good reminder of the importance of a diverse mix of non-fossil energy sources :)

How deep-red Utah helped launch a portable plug-in solar movement Since Utah passed a law letting residents plug solar systems into their home outlets, 30 more states have drafted similar bills.

Plug-in solar panels help cut down on utility bills, without the need for expensive rooftop installations. The relatively cheap technology has taken off in parts of Europe, and a recent Utah law has spurred interest across the U.S. grist.org/energy/utah-portable-plu...

What I Learned About Billionaires at Jeff Bezos’s Private Retreat For the richest men on Earth, everything is free and nothing matters.

"It’s not that the wealthy become evil; it’s that their environment stops teaching them the things that nonwealthy people are forced to learn simply by living in a world that pushes back." Article by Noah Hawley.

Line graph time series of March monthly mean carbon dioxide abundance from 1958 through March 2026. There is a long-term increasing trend and seasonal cycle. Current Earth Day 2026 levels are around 431 ppm for this week in April. And the first Earth Day in 1970 was around 328 ppm.

Happy #EarthDay! 🌍🌎🌏

Here's an updated graph of how much carbon dioxide (CO₂) has changed since the first Earth Day, which is driving recent climate change.

More than that, the FBI paid tons of informants who infiltrated the Klan.

For one famous example, Gary Thomas Rowe was a paid FBI informant who was present at the murder of Viola Liuzzo.

But there were so many more. By one estimate, in 1965 a full 15% of the Mississippi KKK were paid informants.

Not so niche, in fact. Last week, as you may have read, more than 200 authors quit Grasset, one of France's finest publishing houses, following its takeover by billionaire Vincent Bolloré. Bolloré also owns the railway bookshop chain Relay, whose windows are now full of titles by far-right figures.

Bolloré's takeover of Grasset: 'Bookshops now serve as sentinels of resistance to the radical rightward shift of society' Christian Thorel, a prominent figure in independent book selling, was among the first to sound the alarm about billionaire Vincent Bolloré's ideological grip on the publishing sector, starting with th...

Fascinating interview with a French bookseller about the radical rightward shift being engineered in French publishing and book selling by billionaire ideologues. We have no counterparts to this type of merchant intellectual.

Un peu niche peut-être, mais quand même…

Ukraine’s Second Miracle Year The war isn’t won, but for the first time in years, outright victory seems possible.

"At this point, most of Russia’s populated areas—mostly in the south and west of the Urals—are within Ukraine’s reach."

@brynntannehill.bsky.social on the incredible developments in Ukraine's drone capabilities:

Why do they like biofuels? Because it keeps the "we must burn things" crew in business.

It's great for refineries which are owned by the oil industry.

They love their tax subsidized biofuels for burning.

In the era of EVs, it's one more way to keep the US in the past.

Premier Ford thought a $29M taxpayer-funded jet made sense during an affordability crisis. That tells you everything.

Now he’s fast-tracking anti-FOI changes to dodge public scrutiny.

Same pattern: waste, secrecy, damage control. Ontarians deserve better. #onpoli

Taking this one step further: a group of EU politicians are today proposing a new tax on Equinor so that the conflict cash flowing into coffers from the current fossil fuel crisis goes back to EU citizens, not just Norwegian citizens

Excellent read.

"But nothing will change until Canadian think differently about the economy and demand that their political leaders do so as well. September’s investment summit might be an ideal platform from which to launch that new conversation."

If Mamdani and Obama singing The Wheels On The Bus with a group of tiny kids doesn't spark some sort of joy in you, I've got nothing for you.

China exports a ton of cleantech — and the world is poised to want… The nation’s battery and EV exports in particular have grown in recent years. Now, the Middle East war could spur even more demand for Chinese…

"Ultimately, even if other regions invest in building out their own domestic clean-energy supply chains, China is the clear beneficiary of the coming shift to cleantech. Its head start is just that big," writes @danmccarthy.bsky.social: www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle... 🔌💡

I'm not sure which planet he's talking about but it's not Earth.

The oceans are boiling. The NE Pacific stands out from an anomaly standpoint, with a marine heat wave extending from CA past the international dateline. Global sea surface temperatures are flirting with all-time records and warmer-than-normal water has emerged where El Niño is observed.

An oil and gas company just left behind an estimated $476M cleanup mess in Alberta | The Narwhal The mess is left behind by a tangled web of Chinese investors and a company based in the British Virgin Islands.

Not sure why Canada keeps pushing for more fossil fuel production
