Besides being racist and false, this suggests science is only carried out by a few geniuses who claim prizes, whereas in reality science relies on smart and diligent people committed to collaboration and discovery without special recognition.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Now let’s learn from Brazil. The Right sabotaged the elections, interfered with transportation, used AI to makeup shit. They still lost. People power. Power to the people. #brasil

The Exxon ad Exxon doesn't want you to see. New from Adam McKay @ghostpanther.bsky.social and voiced by Woody Harrelson.

Muslims and immigrants, despite all the lies we're told about them, have never presented a systemic threat to Western security, let alone to "Western civilisation". Instead, the threats come from our governments, especially in the US, and their grim alliances with capital and overseas dictators.

Look. Mandating our ministers to don the vestments of Zuzorath Devourer of Lost Children was simple pragmatism. It doesn't mean that we are in any way beholden to Zuzorath; nor do we endorse his plan to "flood the very land with the blood of the innocent."

Cardiff's climate-wrecking data centre would have little chance of going ahead if it was not supported by the local MP, Jo Stevens @jostevenslabour.bsky.social, who has thus far declined to take my calls or respond to my emails.

I'm advertising a funded PhD position with CENTA - please share widely! Interested in the impact of volcanoes on the built environment? Interested in the fate of microplastics and plastic pollution? Then I have the project for you: centa.ac.uk/studentship/...

Alberta has sent a message to the world that Canada will not be broken. Canada will not be divided. It wasn't even close. But we need answers as to who in the State Department and the US Embassy in Canada were involved in the meetings to try and break up this beautiful land.

I’ve just donated. Such a great project.

Humanity's destiny is to regain our place within a balanced and sustainable biosphere, to stop our destruction, pollution, and extraction, and to finally become effective caretakers of the unique and complex interrelated systems that make life in this vast, cold universe possible.

The difference between you and the billionaire class is greed. It's not hard work. It's not intelligence. It's not skill. It's not good ideas. It's just greed. Even if you had incredible luck, you would need greed at a level that is unfathomable to most of us to make it stick.

This Guardian article makes it clear that Rosebank and Jackdaw are losers, but heat pumps and warm home insulation programs are winners. Plus that you can't trust the numbers the fossil fuel industry cooks up. It's what everybody who can do arithmetic has been saying, but is Burnham listening?

"If we lived on a planet that ran mostly on wind and solar power, war would be less likely." – Bill McKibben #GlobalCarbonFeeAndDividendPetition billmckibben.substack.com/p/are-the-pe...

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

Insulating homes and investing in heat pumps would be more effective in reducing living costs, creating jobs, and boosting the economy than drilling for new oil.

You will be able to ask, and it will be able to refuse, because it's sentient. Be careful not to startle or distress your sentient car! We advise speaking in a calm, steady voice when negotiating with your sentient car to turn left, or unlock the doors.

The world is set to exceed 1.5°C of warming. Even if the temperature comes back down, the 🌎 may never be quite the same. But we must not abandon the 1.5°C goal. The higher & longer the global temperature rise, the greater the risks. UNEP's Martin Krause explains: https://bit.ly/3TVOISA

I had to make the same decision when I got an offer for Wooing the Witch Queen from a Russian publisher on the condition that Saskia & Ailana would be rewritten as straight. As someone who makes her living through writing, it hurts to turn down $ for food and bills, but I couldn't say yes to that.

Very few people study air-water gas exchange, which determines how quickly the ocean takes up atmospheric CO₂. But because of marine CO₂ removal, everyone is throwing the term "gas exchange" around. So here's everyone's chance to attend a gas exchange meeting to learn and share. www.gtws2027.se
