$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.
It’s why I’m mostly here now, in The Good Place.
lots of devastation and negativity on the feed today. i know this won’t solve anything, but maybe it’ll make someone smile and just forget for a small moment. the beauty of the cosmos 🌌

Good resistance news: An 'Achilles heel' discovered in antibiotic resistant bacteria. Scientists in Canada found the critical vulnerability: bacteria need zinc. Deprive them of the nutrient & their stability is disrupted making them susceptible to antibiotics again www.genengnews.com/topics/infec...

Every time I listen to BBC World Service radio I'm reminded how excellent it is. A comparatively balanced, nuanced, global perspective that we don't get to see much of from many other newsrooms.
ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...
When we talk about the best superhero movie performances, the one that tends to get left out is JK Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, perhaps the most comic book accurate role of all time
DEI is the bogeyman for those who believe that if I’m gaining, they must be losing. The idea that everything would be fine if only white men ran the world is a weak argument—clung to by insecure men who can’t handle reality. DEI ensures women & BIPOC are looked at fairly IN ADDITION to white men.
The devastation in California is apocalyptic. The images are heartbreaking. At least 5 fires continue to burn without containment. I’m grateful for the bravery of not only the first responders, but every day people who have been helping others, including animals, evacuate to safer locations.
I lost an argument with an American.
Getting increasingly irritated by publications without BlueSky as a sharing option, especially if X is there. I'm trying to promote your article on a site that actually allows people to see it. Help me help you man.

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!
Rock songs in the 70s were like "She's a dangerous woman, she'll play you like a fiddle, she'll steal your heart and ruin your life. She's 16."
They are taking back campaign promises faster than they made them.
Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part. Turns out those scenes were almost bang on. The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.
I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

Sure Happy It’s Thursday! What song is stuck in your head right now?
Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time.

One of the points I made was in reference to “community notes”. Its being pitched as a new form of moderation. But the reality on X is that almost every time, Notes only show up to the people who volunteer to respond. They aren’t visible to everyone else. So they really don’t have an impact
