On a special Earth Day episode of “More To The Story,” environmental activists Al Gore, Catherine Coleman Flowers, and Bill McKibben talk about the challenges of protecting the planet in the age of Trump.
If AI is so great, remove it from everything where it's been implemented without user consent and make it a user pays subscription service and see how many people REALLY want it
Would also be the perfect Earth Day surprise!
Give our mother what she really wants this Earth Day — (redacted) an AI data center. 🌎🕊️

“Why don’t you want to have a conversation about AI?”
“I broke into your house and stole your shit and now I just want to talk.”
Companies spending millions on lobbyists and consultants to avoid paying people more instead of just using that money to pay people more and men working every loophole to shore up the patriarchy instead of putting that work into becoming the men women need them to be have the exact same ugly vibe.

how can you not be romantic about baseball
To lie to those who will be forced to live in the hellscape you created long after you’re gone is an action beneath contempt.
Maybe the layer with texture just isn’t visible right now?
flat out identity theft
Pentagon program to make aslan the christian lion real falls under scrutiny
People who think this have clearly never visited Korea.
In both foreign policy and economic policy, the core belief of Trumpism is that there is some button one can press to instantly and easily solve any problem, and every political leader this country has ever had was simply too cowardly to press it. That’s it.
I don't know what a philharmonic is and at this point I'm afraid to ask
It’s one of those all-male college a cappella groups, but everyone in the group has to be named Phil. Bit exclusionary if you ask me.
This is actually how I get all my news
With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.
What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.

The 2026 Atlantic storm name list: Arthur Bertha Cristobal Dolly Edouard Fay Gonzalo Hanna Isaias Josephine Kyle Leah Marco Nana Omar Paulette Rene Sally Teddy Vicky Wilfred
the 2026 Atlantic hurricane names have been released, and I need to tell you all right now that if I get swept off this mortal coil by a storm named Kyle I am haunting the halls of the World Meteorological Organization until the end of time
Ugggh! It’s so hard. Good for you for getting out.
The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.
Get excited.

If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common

Note to my fellow Dems: The 2026 and 2028 elections will be "change" elections. But mere promises to change or talking points about change won't do the trick. Candidates need to embody change. They need to be the change we want to see. It's not about a position. It's about who they are.
Just occurred to me that Star Trek: The Next Generation would not have survived past its first season in this business environment
Other Middle Earth species: you Hobbits are so rustic!
Hobbits: actually we have a postal service & police & shops that deliver food & inns & pubs & museums & a calendar that makes all the months the same length and all the days of the week fall on predictable dates.
Other ME species: so rustic!
Of all the work mental states that I hate, “pushing through exhaustion by working flat-out for no good reason at 4:30 p.m. on a Friday” is probably the one I hate most.
Gut: remember that thing you were so worried about a few days ago?
Brain: yeah, but that thing had a good resolution. So I actually think it’s OK to stop thinking about it. Maybe even forget about it.
Gut: Yeah? Well, HERE’S A REMINDER.
I never want to be a killjoy so I won't get in the way of people dancing in the streets when he drops dead but I think one reason everyone is so thirsty for it is we tacitly understand that to be the only consequence he'll ever face. Which sucks! There should be way more consequences
Just renamed a file from “Earth Week Monday” to “EW Monday” and isn’t THAT the truth.
