A GENTLE REMINDER: we are trying to eliminate fossil fuels because using them kills us.
If fossil fuels were cheap (they're not) or reliable (they're SO NOT), it would still be urgent to get rid of them because their intended use destroys our life support systems.

Aprils Fools was yesterday lads…
this is like
the thesis statement of our times
You almost have to admire the hubris of trying to frame this as a “preemptive attack” when the ENTIRE PURPOSE IS TO PROVOKE A RESPONSE FROM IRAN in order to justify ongoing and more extensive strikes.
Your poems are shit,
and so are your stunts.
You shout at hotels,
you wife-beating cunts.
I consider myself pretty well informed on the nazi precedents for today, but I didn’t know this one. They truly are just running the playbook.
Amazing sunset the other evening. Such glorious colours.

THREAD: Viral misinformation on US capture of Nicolas Maduro - 4 January
This video, shared by Alex Jones and others, falsely claims to show millions of Venezuelans in Caracas celebrating Maduro's capture.
In fact, it shows anti-Maduro protests in July 2024 over a highly disputed election.
kinda miss the times when people asked me why the study of colonialism / imperialism was relevant tbh
Daily Mail • @DailyMail • 2m X It comes amid calls for him to be stripped of his British citizenship over vile outbursts about Jews, the police and white people trib.al/gaP2F60 Daily JASON GROVES Starmer says 'extremist' is welcome in the UK despite fury over dissident's anti-British tweets
Calls for individuals to be stripped of their citizenship to protect public safety are going to turn into calls for entire sections of the populace to get the same treatment so fast, it will make your head spin.
This one made me laugh. 😂

"It’s curious that the Orwell Prize – Britain’s most celebrated award for public interest journalism – has turned to a man who’s spent much of his career trying to stifle it.”

Ah, Denmark. Denmark Denmark Denmark...
Labour have explicitly chosen to copy the policies of a government that is losing ground to their local far right party because its natural voters are disgusted at its draconian attitude to issues such as immigration.

Not solely 'the other place'. Cloudflare is having issues at the moment. Lots of other sites that use their services are also broken.
Axing the cycle-to-work scheme might seem like low-hanging fruit for a cash-strapped Treasury, but it would be a big mistake. Particularly with expensive kid-carrying cargo e-bikes, it's one of the most effective modal shift levers out there.

Once again
If you want to understand why the climate regime has been unsuccessful, this article by @ninalakhani.bsky.social is a great place to start! It's so important to shine a light on the ways that the fossil fuel industry has infiltrated the COPs and shifted the outcomes of the efforts of the regime!
Saw some guy on TikTok talking about the train attack going “woke lefties keep going ‘they were British they were British’, well they don’t look like me and you!” and I just thought, “no one looks like you, you balloon-headed cunt.”
So a weird thing happened to me in Aldi that I cdn't quite place until I was listening to Gabby Bertin talking about choking in porn on the radio this am. (NB: this is 100% not a sex thing). Having the usual polite chitchat with the cashier who is tired from working extra shifts to make £ for xmas..
Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'
We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.
Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.
Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

A chart on X titled “Food Stamps by Ethnicity” showed that most people receiving SNAP benefits are non-white and noncitizens. But U.S. Agriculture Department data shows that the largest group of SNAP recipients by race is white.
The lies of the GOP & culters!

I think about this in how the guy who ran MySpace sold his company and then traveled the world doing photography, while the guy who runs Facebook never let it go and has gone out of his way to destroy democracy in order to gain more power.
That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.
"Mr. President sir the idea is you're constantly flying around in a big jet filled with your own shit in it. Like human shit. Anyways you're wearing a little crown in your little shitmobile and you're dumping the shit out. I think people will like it."
British politics is basically a doom spiral of increasingly unhinged hostile policies.
Reform says something unhinged
⬇️
Labour counters with their own unhinged policy
⬇️
Tories shout from back they'll be even more unhinged
⬇️
Reform announces different unhinged proposal in response
⬇️
And repeat...🔁
