(Finally) escaping twitter reminds me of this mystic I once read who said that the gates of hell are always open for those who are ready to leave.

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges. Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition. Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.

I’m pretty sure that if some CEO got fired from his job & on his way out he told a mob of crazies to show up with zip ties, flag poles and tasers and to bash in the windows & smear poop on the walls, that he wouldn’t get hired back a few years later, but what the hell do I know.

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

Remember the day the Brexit vote came in and the most googled thing was “what’s the EU?” Media does not exist to inform us, certainly less so in the US it seems. It’s just a circus. But one of those ones that abuses the animals, not a fun one.

It’s a commonplace to say that the English don’t learn enough about European history at school. And it’s probably true. But the other day I spoke to a Scottish colleague who told me that he learned literally zero English history at his school in Glasgow("except a few battles we won against them”). 🤔

Today in 1971, the United States conducted its largest-ever underground nuclear test. A LIM-49A Spartan antiballistic missile carrying a W71 thermonuclear warhead was lowered into a 7.5-foot-wide, 5,873-foot-deep shaft beneath Amchitka Island, Alaska, and detonated. The yield was about 5 Megatons.
An official color photograph of the front two-thirds of a Spartan antiballistic missile missile being lowered by a large crane nose first into the large test shaft drilled into Amchitka Island. A few dozen male worker swearing hardhats and warm coats observe and/or help.A detailed color graphic published in Alaska Dispatch News showing a schematic of the test shaft and the aboveground drilling rig, as well as maps showing the location of this and two previous large underground nuclear tests in Amchitka (in 1965 and 1969), and the location of Amchitka relative to the Alaska mainland. Explanatory text discusses the purpose of this and the two previous tests and ranks the size of the explosion relative to volcanic eruptions in 1815 and 1883 and previous nuclear explosions, including the October 1961 “Tsar Bomba” Soviet thermonuclear test and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

Thank you for the kind & motivating words. I knew it was true but felt disheartened. I'd previously been working on this under the mentality of "it's done when it's done". Now it feels like it definitely needs to happen before inauguration day, forcing an absolute deadline of 2 1/2 months from now.

Interesting new research from Climate Citizens: “Future efforts to motivate more active forms of climate citizenship must therefore consider how people’s current and prior experiences of engaging with the state shapes their feelings of political efficacy” Link: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Responding to climate change requires that people engage in different forms of climate citizenship. These span from individual consumption choices, to taking part in forms of collective action to steer the behaviour of governments and in the private sector. Here we analyse data from the Net Zero Diaries project to explore how attitudes to different forms of climate citizenship develop as people become more aware about the scale of societal change required to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The Net Zero Diaries project was a deliberative mini-public, composed of 41 citizens broadly representative of the UK adult population, which convened over five months between 2021 and 2022 to debate the UK policies for reaching net zero emissions by 2050. We show that people identify government as the prime actor needed to drive the transition, but doubt that they will act due to a range of constraints vis-à-vis the public and private sector. This tension provides a novel explanation for why some people prioritise forms of individual and consumption focused climate citizenship, whilst also doubting the efficacy of such actions. We conclude by suggesting that efforts to drive more engaged forms of climate citizenship need to attend to underlying feelings about state efficacy, rather than focus on just how the issue of climate change is framed.

I mentioned on Threads that I like Bluesky and someone who had tried and abandoned it asked me why I liked it. This was my response.
A Threads reply from me. Text reads: “Moderation tools are good, I get almost no harassment/abuse there even if I dare talk about ‹gasp!> progressive politics. There are lots of really engaged people talking about science, lots of journalists, and lots of fun people just posting clever stuff. There's no default algorithm so l only see posts from people I follow (and their shares) — it's WAY less annoying than the stuff that gets algorithmically pushed to me here. It's a chronological timeline. And I get good engagement/discussion.”
