Don’t start no shit. Won’t be no shit.
“Little, who worked in legal publishing, was part of a committee of employees that sent a letter to company management in February flagging that ICE could be using Thomson Reuters products unlawfully”
Like a reverse horseshoe theory... Far far right fascists, but too drunk, high, and incompetent to succeed at tyranny.
This is my presumption about his motives, and I don't give the benefit of the doubt to fossil fuel industry talking heads, nor any other death cultists. So, whatever your motive for being obtuse about what's happening here by being contrarian, nobody cares. ✌️
It matters because the specific metrics were chosen to attempt to display coal as a more vital and thriving energy source than it really is. Since I can't ask him if this is the case, nor would he tell the truth about it anyways,the proof is in the historical record and the fight for climate justice
Does oil that's used for transportation somehow not matter because it isn't converted to electricity first? How is this misleading? The primary faults of fossil fuel energy sources are CO2 emissions, environmental hazards, scarcity and regional conflicts for control and access, and access difficulty
As far as climate change and CO2 emissions go, the total use of fossil fuels is what matters most. Not fossil fuels as a percentage of a specific subset of energy use, even an important one (20%) like electricity.
It's cherry picking in that if he were to claim coal was still going to be the #1 source of global energy use when he dies, he'd be wrong. Even if he claimed that the sum of all fossil fuels would be #1 source when he dies, there's a pretty high chance even that will be wrong, unless he dies soon.
It's probably true he'll die before coal ends it's reign of electricity generation. Though, this metric is much less important than total energy use, and is clearly cherry picked to make coal look more important than it really is, as it's losing its relevance quickly in total global energy use.
Electricity production is only about 20% of global energy use.
Solar and wind have taken up about 10-15% of the electricity generation market share in the last 15% and coal has lost about 10-15% in the same timeframe.

I misread "electricity" as "energy". Yeah, that changes the dynamic. Though "electricity generation" is less of the whole picture compared to looking at global energy use. Because energy used in other formats besides electricity matters equally.
Lack of source: these statistics are easy to find
Perfect
Even if he dies today, the statement isn't true unless you exclude oil. He wouldn't be missed, nonetheless.
Although, that makes him more of an idiot, not less.
Ben McKenzie: "Last year, a crypto company estimated that $154B of illicit activity was financed via cryptocurrency. And to give you an example of how deep the corruption goes, the biggest stablecoin company by far is Tether. And their broker is Cantor Fitzgerald Howard Lutnick's Firm.
New CA governor poll: Becerra pulls away from the pack. Aside from Swalwell's exit, seems the undecided % has shrunk. Also has data on 2nd choice vote--helpful for seeing where Yee's ~2.5% support will go to now that she's dropped out. Weds' debate should be interesting.
Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862% Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...
I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup. Or ruling on cases related to govt regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires. It's a disgrace.

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas claims that “The century of #progressivism did not go well” in America. Baloney. It helped #America create the largest middle class the world had ever seen..."

Corrupt justices NEED to be removed from #SCOTUS
Seems to be the only guarantee with Trump. Aligning with him will eventually burn you.
Russian social media influencers are speaking out against what Putin has done to Russia. They fear this is their last chance before they lose all internet freedom in Russia.
For over 20 years, Clarence Thomas has been treated to luxury vacations by billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow.
Harlan Crowe has had multiple cases decided in the Supreme Court.

The Trump admin formally warned Ukraine not to strike targets within Russia that could hit US economic interests, according to Kyiv’s ambassador in DC.
Meanwhile, the Trump admin has barely said anything about Russia’s many more strikes on US businesses in Ukraine.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
Mr Brown said women were routinely flown into the UK on Epstein’s private jet Lolita Express. Visas issued, payments made and girls transported into Stansted Airport’s private terminal. Yet flight logs were incomplete and unnamed passengers simply labelled as “female”. www.thesun.ie/royals/16542...
And most Americans are too steeped in propaganda or checked out to notice.
