It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
It does matter.
At this increased rate of warming it means 2.5C above 1850 levels arrives by 2039 - that’s less than 14 years from now. Not 2100.
That’s an incredibly destructive climate to try and grow food in and live in.
Only 14 years away.
One side bombed a school full of children.
The other bombed military infrastructure (yes, LLMs being used by the military now makes datacenters a legitimate target).
The two sides are: the USA, and Iran.
Exercise for the reader: assign each side to the right action, and... sit with it. 🫠
WTAF? The reason, if you need one other than generic empathy, for speaking up for the downtrodden is that if you let cops have equipment they will eventually use it unnecessarily, against several amendments in Bill of Rights. Power corrupts.
It's the middle of the night in Chicago. Reporters and electeds are trying to figure out why a US citizen was detained by CBP, why her phone was inside an ICE detention center tonight, and where she is now.
Also unclear what happened to the other five people she was detained with at O'Hare airport.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
If other people's children are fair targets in war, then so are yours.
Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.
We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.
New from me at @brennancenter.org:
So much winning.
I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

The data from your Meta Ray Bans is used to train Meta's AI, which most people don't understand means that humans are looking at the most intimate details of their lives. www.svd.se/a/K8nrV4/met...
Also keep democrats abroad from voting.
Apparently he didn’t say this loud enough.
If there should be any ban on gender affirming care, let’s start with the OG Viagra. Who needs that? Accept you get old, dude. Don’t make insurance (ie me) pay for that stuff.
Women: We live in a constant state of vigilance because men pose a constant threat to us, here are literally millions of corroborating stories.
Men: What a scary time for men this is.
this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
WITAODOJ?
I do not want this future.
Ok, NOW the US is doing war crimes.
The Diameter Of The Bomb The diameter of the bomb was thirty centimeters and the diameter of its effective range about seven meters, with four dead and eleven wounded. And around these, in a larger circle of pain and time, two hospitals are scattered and one graveyard. But the young woman who was buried in the city she came from, at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, enlarges the circle considerably, and the solitary man mourning her death at the distant shores of a country far across the sea includes the entire world in the circle. And I won’t even mention the crying of orphans that reaches up to the throne of God and beyond, making a circle with no end and no God.
amichai.
This is shameful.
Overall, the top 1% now control $55.8T in assets — more than the GDP of the US and China combined.
One of the quandaries the country faces is how to govern when vast wealth controls a large part of the economy and is increasingly used to access political power.

BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%
i personally feel that looking out for your neighbor, taking care of the environment, bettering your community, and kicking the absolute shit out of anyone espousing Nazis values is the height of Real American Patriotism.
Is bad for business.
More than this, if you are taught consumer buying trends, on average, women make more of the household buying decisions, from cleaning supplies to children’s wardrobes to household appliances, consumer electronics including computers and of course, food.
Alienating half the country with asshattery
