The latest installment in my 10-part series on climate change and hurricanes: 4 recent post-hurricane heatwaves have had massive post-storm power outages responsible for multiple heat-related deaths: Beryl (2024), Irma (2017), Laura (2020), and Ida (2021).

Thank you! I really appreciate it.
Salah Sarsour should be freed immediately. Speaking up for Palestine is not illegal. Being Palestinian is not illegal. Having been abused by the illegal and unrecognized military court of a settler colonial state perpetuating a genocide is not illegal. We must gather around the this regime’s victims
unfortunately it seems i have developed a fondness for the man who often emails me multiple times a week to tell me i'm a liar bc i hadn't heard from him in a while and i did smile when i saw the subject line: You people are still my favorite climate scam website

it felt cool at the time but quickly became so bleak. one time i was on a historical committee at bosmun and ended up being france at the berlin conference. extremely cursed.
they used to wake u up at 3 am for a 'crisis' and you have to pull on your high school slacks and your high school heels and try to negotiate with some guys from a fancy prep school and you're all trying to win an award?? one time i was iran on the unhrc
tbh adulthood has turned out to be way more like high school model UN than i would have believed

it is important, i think, to appreciate beautiful things at any time, but especially in times of horror. like i'm reading a gorgeous rabih alameddine book and yesterday I went to the botanical garden and being alive is the most beautiful thing i could imagine
Dear Friends, How can we most effectively communicate about climate solutions? Many people who are Alarmed about climate change aren’t taking climate action. Within the group of Americans Alarmed about climate change, 46% can be categorized as “willing Alarmed” — they are willing to engage in climate action but rarely do. Join us for a conversation with Miriam Remshard, a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge studying the barriers to effective climate action and how psychological interventions can be used to foster more impactful behavior. Samantha Harrington of Yale Climate Connections will moderate the conversation as well as provide highlights from over ten years of climate solutions coverage. She will also walk us through YCC’s Climate Solutions Hub, a tool that helps people find the actions that work best for their life. Communicating Climate Solutions Noon - 1pm ET, Thursday, April 9, 2026
I'm gonna be moderating a cool climate solutions comms webinar this Thursday. Come hang out:

To this list you can add the Biden administration, which bowed to this longstanding bellicose consensus, operated more in line with Trump than Obama on Iran, and didn't resurrect the Iran deal. Biden became a willing accomplice of Israel in the genocide of Gaza and accompanying Israeli escalations against the Iran coalition regionally, particularly the assassinations of the Resistance Axis that produced the first-ever direct exchanges of fires between Iran and Israel. I wrote in March 2024 that the U.S. had to negotiate with Iran or the region would burn. Instead, the pro-Israel and anti-Iran coalition in both parties got a sense that this could be the moment to finally destroy the Islamic Republic, and sure enough, the region is burning. If Trump does something in the neighborhood of what he is threatening, there will be many with blood on their hands who will rush to declare Trump an aberration, that they certainly never intended for this to happen, that they had a wiser, tougher, more effective approach. Such protestations will deserve nothing but contempt. Only by reckoning with the decades-long ease with which elite politics (as opposed to popular politics) has embraced unrelenting hostility toward Iran and punished the meagerest of efforts to end that hostility can we even begin to shatter this cycle of horror. It is already too late for between 2000 and 3500 Iranians. May it not be too late for the rest.
@foreverwars.bsky.social is great on this as always

I want to look back on this piece tonight as a hysterical overreaction. Because that will mean the peoples and the cultures of Iran will have survived.
ending phone call with pleading voice saying 'do your job bro' worked???

Please keep picking fights on here with strangers you already agree with 99.9% of the issues on. It's going to finally end the horrors this time if you post just right
we don't get out of this doom loop without destroying the post 9/11 systems and culture and the systems and culture of slavery and white supremacy that got us into it
humiliating to have to call ron johnson to beg him to care about another human being
Apparently, I am a rare hater but i tbh i did think we were less into the propaganda of space travel these days
So much AI propaganda about “saving time” is capitalist propaganda. You need to do things faster so you can make more money because work has been devalued and full-time jobs are harder to come by. But AI isn’t going to make YOU rich. It’s already devaluing the work and the jobs even more
It costs ~ $1.64 / gallon to charge an EV in Wisconsin. Some estimates suggest gas prices could rise to over $7 / gallon this summer. Glad I have an EV! 🌬️🔆
How much does it cost to charge in your state? Find out:

Last year, Entergy received approval to build three natural gas plants that will generate about 2.3 gigawatts of electricity for Meta’s data center in Louisiana. The utility also applied to connect even more gas generation to the power grid in Louisiana to meet increasing demand. Hyperion will have about 5 gigawatts of computing power, with the remaining gigawatts used to power the broader campus, according to a Meta spokesperson. The seven new gas plants will need to be approved by state regulators. The agreement between the companies includes a Meta commitment to help fund up to 2.5 gigawatts of new renewable resources as well as a memorandum of understanding to explore future development and use of nuclear power.

It's really difficult to properly express how nuts this is. Meta's 2.2 gigawatt data centre fossil fuel plant was already world-leading bad. Now they're adding 5.2 EXTRA gigawatts on top. So SEVEN NEW FOSSIL FUEL PLANTS for one data centre.

i trust three sources of information online these days: Wikipedia, Reddit (lol), and actual news websites.
