HUGE UPDATE: we halted Amazon's panel at Climate Week. We shut it down so hard that every guest and every speaker had to leave the premises. No one was able to return. Their whole event lasted less time than their warehouse workers' pee break.

You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.

Highlight: "For Canada, the choice came down to either severe but temporary economic instability or binding itself to a pseudodemocratic fiscal basket case of a nation, whose only apparent foreign policy objective has become domination for the gratification of its president’s slapdash vanity."

"Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Greece and Ireland spent €9.9 billion on energy crisis relief, 85% of the total across all EU countries, and most of this on supports that benefitted the fossil fuel industry instead of targeting at-risk people." what a waste of public money

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Benefit facts: Most people who receive benefits are in work. Taxpayers support employers who don’t pay decent wages. The welfare system was not set up to benefit employers who don’t pay decent wages.

When considering that the United States is no longer the leader of the free world, it is important to remember that it is not solely because of the Donald Trump administration. The systemic rot in the governing of that country is significant, as is the ignorance of millions of voters.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.

There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.

1) Use systematic doubt and question everything 2) Learn the difference between statements of rational proof and those just of persuasion 3) Be precise in your use of words and expect precision from others 4) Watch for mistakes, even in Holy Scripture – Peter Abelard (1079-1142 AD)
