Disability is, as ever, the only minority that anyone can join at any time, and which everyone will join, if they're lucky enough to live that long.

This is also a nice reminder that when conservatives say, "Judeo-Christian" they mean "Christian," because you know nobody at Project 2025, including the person who wrote "Judeo-Christian" below, means anything but Sunday when they talk about deciding what people can & should do on the Sabbath.

Tired: Project 2025 wants to bring back the Sabbath. Wired: Project 2025 will ban Sunday sportsball games and forget about getting beer.

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

Don't expect a person or institution to realistically be part of the solution if they can't accept or articulate how they were part of the problem. If nothing changes, nothing changes.

Humanity has done well by burning fossil fuels and dumping CO2 into the atmosphere. This is like running up a big credit card debt: it’s great while you’re doing it, but eventually the bill comes due. The growing carbon debt, by @hausfath.bsky.social www.theclimatebrink.com/p/the-growin...

Look. I care about climate change a lot. I'm close to a single-issue voter on the subject! But we have GOT to stop worrying about what are, in the scheme of things, rounding errors. I hate, hate, hate this kind of personal-responsibility climate stuff, it's deeply counterproductive.

You can show in En-ROADS (an easy climate model interface anyone can use) that maximum carbon removal but no reductions = still a catastrophe Whereas maximum reductions and no removal = mostly avoided catastrophe There is no plan B. There is no unmixing the milkshake.

Seriously: People have so much grief & rage & trauma & pain, these days, and so so many of us seem absolutely adamantly opposed to acknowledging that, let alone doing anything about it. It's honestly sad, in the abstract, & just so deeply wearying when they decide to make it everyone else's problem.

Even if you want to regard voting for Biden as harm reduction, do that. And yes, I am cognizant of now. But not voting for him only does one thing. There is no messianic option that suddenly appears if we let a man who has already tried an authoritarian coup take the reins of power again.

Portugal generated 95% electricity from renewables in April. More of Europe needs to follow the enlightened politics and financial investments of Southern Europe and ignore the backward destructive idiocy of Germany.

Renewables covered 95% of Portugal’s power needs last monthwww.euronews.com Portugal has made huge progress in renewable power, up from 27 per cent in 2005 and 54 per cent in 2017.

posting here, but i am not getting experiences there, or here, with the bridge that seem confirmable.

You Are Here. Current atmospheric CO2 levels are higher than ever in human history, and far earlier... This is human-caused climate change.
