Nightjar is a novella that blends climate breakdown with cosmic horror. It is my way of screaming at the flames of the climate crisis, and making the fire my own. I've been working on this book for quite some time now. I'm very impatient to share it with you.

They are not our self-destructing civilization but what prowls outside its gates: Lucifer against God's Kingdom, Grendel against Hrothgar's hall, King Kong against New York, Frankenstein's creature against its creator. Theirs is a unique kind of beauty: disquieting, dangerous, and so alluring.

They're machines. Incapable of thought, feeling, imagination the most powerful people in the world are just the cogs and wheels of an utterly inhuman system. One giant bulldozer, directed by the pluses and minuses of profit. It's all so dire, and so dull.

Half of it is true. A new world defined by anthropogenic climate change and mass extinction, where the odds are ever against the human experiment, is indeed being invoked. But our tormentors aren't monsters.

You’ll have heard a lot about violence among French protestors. You’ll hear very little about the violence committed by French police against the protesters. And you’ll hear almost nothing about the violence of austerity. This is not a coincidence. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/class-war-...

graceblakeley.substack.comClass War in France – And the Media Still Ask All the Wrong QuestionsAs protests erupt across France, you’ll hear almost nothing about police violence, or the extreme violence of austerity.

Sunday’s election will determine Brazil's, L. America's & the Amazon rainforest's fate. In a sane world, the world would have united against Trump's & Zuckerberg’s escalating efforts to bring Bolsonaro back to power. This world looks the other way. progressive.international/wire/2026-10...

NEW: The contrasting colors in NGC 7129 show differences in temperatures detected by #NASAWebb. The gold cavity at the left is hottest due to the central star and other embedded stars. The clumpy, red matter is colder and represents jets from less mature protostars: https://news.stsci.edu/3U8T7Bz 🔭

It's not flooding the zone, it's seizing a crisis in order to ram through a slew of rapid fire changes that are a gift to multinational corporations and are the opposite of what we ran on. What do you call that again?

Rachel Gilmore@rachelgilmore.bsky.social

A reporter asked the government about the Trumpian tactic of flooding the zone with this bill (it’s an omnibus!) and the ministers appear outraged. They balk at a question that…accurately characterizes what they’re doing. If you don’t like it, don’t do it!

El Secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos ejerciendo la labor de limpiador de la escena del crimen del cártel. Quieren desmanterlar la Corte Criminal Internacional para cubrirse las espaldas.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration intends to “dismantle the ICC” and weaken the International Criminal Court “brick by brick,” as the administration grows increasingly worried about prosecutions after they are out of office.

Mark Carney cares about dollars and cents. Next to all the investments he’s touting by burning more fossil fuels, he should tally up the costs of flooded farmland, homes and businesses destroyed by stronger hurricanes and tornadoes, and communities burned to the ground by more aggressive wildfires.

CBC’s The National last night: Top story is the government announcing a new oil pipeline from Alberta and how it placated BC Then a story on the massive heatwave, storms and flooding in Ontario and Quebec Then a story on huge Manitoba flooding after they also dealt with tornadoes and rain 🫠

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great. #FilmSky While I agree with the take on Bladerunner, I'll submit a movie that was influenced by it and has failed to gain the recognition of deserves.

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great. #FilmSky Is there any greater example? At the time, most people had no time for Blade Runner, but it literally defined the look of cyberpunk and now influences much of what modern sci-fi movies even are.

Con mucha emoción les anuncio que voy a publicar mi primer libro en noviembre con @lfpbooks.bsky.social. Es una novela corta de terror y ciencia ficción que aborda la crisis climática. Llevo años escribiendo estas 100 páginas y muero por compartirlas. ☄️ lanternfishpress.com/news/2026/5/...
