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.
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
They are taking back campaign promises faster than they made them.
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.
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.

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 🔥.

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...
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!
Twitter used to be extremely helpful for following local news but now not….
Top hit for news on Pasadena: a white nationalist blog (with a sample reply)
I strongly suspect that Liz Truss's attempts to stop people claiming she crashed the economy, will only result in her being hounded to the end of her long days with people telling her she crashed the economy.
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. 💔
Incredible precision by the helicopter crew dropping water on the LA firea 🎯
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.
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
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.
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
urgh I've done it, after 17 (!) years I've just deleted my Facebook account for good
probably a bit pointless as I still plan to use Instagram but you know, better than nothing, probably
