The prompt that generated this AI image is a record of what someone actually typed to produce it. It would show whether a federal employee specified this man's race, his ethnicity, his religion, or what he was wearing, and in what words.

Cover illustrations by Bruce Pennington — my personal favourites — for the four volumes of Gene Wolfe’s THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN. Couldn’t find a JPEG of the illustration for THE SWORD OF THE LICTOR sans trade dress. Sorry.

Insofar as US swing voters think the Democrats are "out of step" with them on climate change, the vast majority say that is because Democrats are "not fighting hard enough/need to do more." Yes, really. 5/n

On the left, a line graph showing a flat trajectory of actual carbon capture and storage contrasted with optimistic projections of it taking off into the future. On the right, a line graph showing actual solar electricity production skyrocketing ahead of all projections.

I’ve spent more than a year reporting on how the fossil fuel industry has infiltrated academia over the last 30 years, shaping fundamental paradigms on how to address climate change. My first story in the new @propublica.org and @drilledmedia.bsky.social series, “Carbon Captured”, is out today.
