I think Jack Smith is just getting started. Good story of the day. The UN Security Council is broken and meaningless. A friendly reminder for anyone who needs to hear this. How about we take the roughly $2.8 billion in VC money that’s about to be wasted on hundreds of artificial intelligence startups and spend it on transitioning humanity to zero carbon energy solutions instead? This is how to decarbonize America quickly: electrify everything. It can be done, but from my perspective, only if republicans get out of the way and let the adults get the job done. I don’t care if this brings out the trolls. Ban guns, not books. I do miss exchanges like this on twitter. Lol. Not a drag queen. A white christian male. They are the greatest threat to our safety in America. In honor of the latest IPCC climate crisis report that dropped today and barely made a blip in any mainstream media outlets… PSA: time to stop eating Ben and Jerry’s. Just unbelievable, campaigning against supporting Ukraine in the effort to stop an autocratic, fascist dictatorship bent on committing every war crime possible as it seeks to exterminate Ukrainians. “If we don’t act with the necessary speed, we will shoot past 1.5 degrees and possibly even 2 degrees,” says Peter Thorne at Maynooth University in Ireland, one of the authors of the report. “Really it’s a call to arms.” Is it just me, or is anyone else noticing that the people you follow on Post seem to be posting less over the last few weeks? You love to see it. And so do I. Still boggles my mind that conservatives around the world can look at data like this and deny that there’s anything wrong with what’s happening with our climate. Are you in to reading climate horror (aka, reading about actual science being done to study the effects of a rapidly heating world)? If so, this will scare the shit out of you. This is not surprising. “It would be foaming, spitting, uncontrollable rage,” said a former staffer, who. “It was traumatic. And the experience, in the end, was terrifying.” There is…a lot to unpack in this one. Wow. Also, I have a very hard time sharing a country with people like this. They exist in an alternate reality.
