Shout out to @csiro.bsky.social and Bureau of Met comrades after the Tibet climate change disaster. You have been warning us, with evidence, about the potentially catastrophic impacts of climate change for so long; been derided for it, sacked for it, defunded for it. And here it is. Awful.

I feel sorry for the USA team, if they win against Belgium it will be because Trump cheated, surprise surprise! If they lose, well, they lose. He's done them no favours.

This new oil shock, as unwelcome and unnecessary as it is, might be the catalyst for much needed urgency in implementing industrial scale renewable energy projects. In 50 yrs time this could be seen as the turning point in the race against global warming. The only positive I can think of right now.

Great article. It's as if legislators see transgender issues as voluntary and controllable, not essential and for survival. Until it's their family.

Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight" Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃

Ineffably sad /devastating on a whole of society level that Andrew M-W and Mandelson are being pursued by police, NOT for abuse of children related crimes, but for financial ones. Says it all about capitalism.

Given that the Catholic Church only acknowledged that the earth moves around the sun in 1992 (Galileo), I'd say this reaction is positively blistering. Also, relying on the Catholic Church for moral guidance given their history of covering up systemic child rape by clergy, is delusional.

The collective mental health damage of active shooter drills in schools across the US absolutely horrifies me. In 15-20 years time what will that damage look like? Glad I don't have to live with it, or send children out to school in that. Heart goes out to those who have to.

Great article. Hoping Mamdani's team can navigate this to bring down costs of child care/early education. The benefits of good quality early education is lifelong and an investment in the future individually and as a society. Many eyes will be on this.

All the Trump crumb maidens (Bondi, Gabbard, Mace, Leavitt et al) think that if they go hard as rascists, LGBT phobes,they themselves will be spared. They forget the beginning of DEI initiatives started with increasing women's representation. They will be eviscerated by dumb white men. Hard lesson.

You'd be surprised how many times a mom just sits for a minute and thinks "I just can't do this anymore" then wipes her face and dries her eyes and goes back and gets on with whatever she doesn't have the strength to do.

Totally agree. We are heading that way - fast. No taxation without representation. I would add, no representation without education. The states is much bigger and for them to burn off a large percentage of voters over 50 years or so, still leaves a lot of people to run the place. Not forever.
