Renewables are cheaper to build, cheaper to operate and deliver cheaper energy. Which is why about 2/3 of global investment into energy generation now goes into renewables. Especially solar & big batteries. NPR could better ask if fossil fuels have a viable future without tax payer subsidies.

"Where does the climate movement go from here?" Any serious answer to this question must center reforming the systems of government that Trumpists have exploited to send the US into repressive authoritarianism. This will be HARD, but it will also unlock vast new possibilities for climate action.

In any conflict, we should oppose the aggressor and defend the aggressed, regardless of identity. I have only contempt for the Iranian regime, but Iran was attacked by Israel and the US without sufficient cause or legal justification. Israel and the US are the aggressors, Iran the aggressed.

That can cause you a bundle of trouble, as partisans of one side or another will see you as their enemy if you condemn the actions of their team. But moral consistency is something we should strive for, and never more urgently than when it comes to aggressive war.

I promise I was looking for something slightly more sensible on the BnF website when I found these pictures of a keeper at London Zoo in 1925 feeding medicine to an extremely reluctant pelican.

Black and white photograph. A uniformed keeper holds the top part of a pelican's beak and pours medicine into it from what looks suspiciously like a hip flask. The pelican's body language expresses an air of considerable unenthusiasm.

Black and white photograph. Sequel to the foregoing: the keeper is now holding the pelican's beak shut with both hands. The enthusiasm of the pelican is unaltered.

Today, more starving Palestinians were lured into “aid distribution sites”. They went in hope that they might find a bag of flour. They were gunned down and murdered instead. What utter inhumanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater. (It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)

Please read and share this statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman, children of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. (via WCCO reporter Caroline Cummings on X)

"We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much.
"We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve.
"Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad.
"Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them.
"If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following:
• Plant a tree.
• Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail.
• Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do.
• Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it.
• Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone.
• Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something.
• Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace.
"Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

How many times did we fucking tell you. You gave up on wearing masks. You let them demonize masks. So they got to write the rules. And the rules are cops “discretion” is that disabled people should be arrested. Because when ableds get to decide who is actually disabled, we lose. Every time.
