"Fossil fuels are losing their grip on EU energy. At the start of the European Green Deal in 2019, few thought the EU’s energy transition could be where it is today; wind and solar are pushing coal to the margins and forcing gas into structural decline"
Big new @ember-energy.org report on EU energy
VICTORY! After over a decade, a federal court has declared that warrantless backdoor searches of US person’s communications collected under Section 702 of FISA is unconstitutional.
Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

If you're overwhelmed & not sure how to help, promote small & local organizations that help people who are especially vulnerable in this time (e.g., immigrants, LGBTQIA+ (especially youth), women seeking healthcare or safety, etc.) Be that safety net where you can; all you can do is your best ✌🏼💝

"Even the story of his near-murder, his tragi-farcical trials, and his ordeal in the penal colony is told with humor—and humanity." Navalny's refusal to knuckle under is permanent, now that he's dead, and is still a threat to Putin's regime. www.thebulwark.com/p/even-in-de...
I think we're going to see a HUGE proliferation of #horror over the next four years. We will need the catharsis, and of all sorts: splatterpunk, weird, cosmic/eldritch, folk/cult, Gothic, and bubblegum, to name a few. Horror contains multitudes. Horror can heal. Horror lets us know we aren't alone.

One thing I haven’t seen on any lists yet?
A darning needle and darning thread.
Well gang,
Looks like we have to fight, and defeat, a compilation of history’s greatest evils all at once. Civil War, WW2, the Cold War, greed, racism, sexism, ignorance, fascism…hell is empty and all the demons are here.

True! Vivek Ramaswamy was appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to co-lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory commission. This role is a presidential appointment, not an elected position, making Ramaswamy an unelected federal official.
That's an eye
Well that's horrifying
