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.

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.
Legit surprised how many people seem to be enjoying that Glowworm thread.
Y'all will end up with one on HMS Ledbury if you're not careful.
These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.
These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

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:

they said in 2025 i will say "Heavens to betsy" . I wont be incorporating the phrase "Heavens to betsy" into my posts, not in 2025, not ever
Somehow the more streaming services you've got the less there is to watch.
Sure
Happy
It’s
Thursday!
What song is stuck in your head right now?
From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054
An astrophysicist and a neurosurgeon concluded that the human brain and the universe basically grow as a result of similar physical principles.
Today’s House of Study goody looks at a myriad of similar connections, with many exquisite photos:
I would safely assume the house used as the location for the party in Can’t Hardly Wait is gone. It was nestled in the foothills of Altadena. I got to revisit a few years ago for a documentary on homes in movies. A beautiful, historic, 100+ year old estate.
marvel rivals making a male character: give him the most creative kit ever seen in the shooter genre
marvel rivals making a female character: i don't know, have her shoot energy shots out of her hands. and make her ass big.
When I was a kid, the cartoons would have these parodies from stuff like "The Godfather" & "Jurassic Park". Then I'd rent them from Blockbuster & go "I can't believe Goodfellas ripped off those pigeons from Animaniacs." I still can't believe they did that. The 90s were wild.
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."
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 🌌
im sorry for re-posting that television`s ed mcmahon was seen running full speed into one of the fires. that was chinese disinformation
Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?
still love how much GDQ messages so often sound like the scrolling text in a game crack intro screen from the 90s
GREETS FROM GERMANY
I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false.
As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.
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.
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...
A key thing to appreciate about big wildfires is that they reach an intensity that humans simply can't deal with. Sometimes they are about 10 times more intense than the best firefighters and planes can fight. Offer as much money as you want: it's too late. www.ft.com/content/540f...
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.
Heartbreaking scenes from Altadena, California as a dog walks up to a firefighter that’s trying to put out a fire….thankfully a local shelter took in the pup 🙏

2025 is gonna be the most “editor sent it back for being too on the nose” year in human history
"Anime is Trash" & "Anime is great!" co-exist as clashing opinions. Anime is in a constant state of flux, never being acceptable, while also being loved by everyone. In math terms, this would be Ax = 0.0100 nm π (repeating). I call this the "Lauderdale" Paradox, or "Kenny's Law".
