Overshooting 1.5°C looks likely—but it’s not game over. The key is limiting how far (and how long) we exceed it, then bringing temperatures back down with rapid cuts + carbon removal. Every fraction of a degree still matters. 👉 www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-... #ClimateChange 🌍🌐🧪

Why Climate Goals Aren’t a Lost Cause—Even If We Overshoot Them

Earth will likely warm by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, but we can’t give up on trying to get temperatures back down

If you’re an abusive father who takes his work stress out on his family, please stop watching things that I like. I’m tired of seeing your targeted ads in my feed.

Voters want to know what values you bring to the fight. This is how American (and I’m sure some other) politicians can vote against their electorate, rail against those very same policies (see: J Hawley), and continue to win elections: on the grounds of values.

Reading Ursula K. Le Guin’s translation of the “Tao te Ching,” and it strikes me that (probably) thousands of years ago, Lao Tzu (or whoever) wrote, in the first chapter: “You just lost The Game.”

The Earth doesn’t “go around the Sun” the Earth goes in a straight line through an area of spacetime that bends around the Sun and I think that’s neat.

The number of times “Freebird” comes on while my neighbor is doing yardwork is always greater than one. You would never pick him out of a lineup using this information.

Ran out of eggs this morning and had an avocado instead. Apparently I build my breakfasts by price point.

Can someone ELI5 why nonprofit hospitals need to "attract top [dollar] executive talent" to administer a facility that maximizes care over profit? Shouldn't that money get spent on, you know, the caregivers and their resources? @thebeacon.bsky.social thebeaconnews.org/stories/2025...

Hospital mergers come with one inevitable: Bigger executive paychecks

A year after St. Luke's joined BJC Healthcare in St. Louis, tax filings show the Kansas City hospital system gave top executives big bonuses and retirement windfalls.

This is heartbreaking. This is a painstakingly constructed network of people helping people getting flushed on a billionaire’s whim. #DollarsNotSense

"She would break a long silence with a glimpse into her internal question kaleidoscope. That curiosity would tessellate into new questions, and the conversation would tumble on until she was breathless with delight." Even when the world is weird, don't neglect your #writing! #WritingCommunity

"A heavy silence passed between them as dust drifted on sunlight." Is this sort of sentence delightfully moody or overwrought? I'm calling this part of the process "have turd, will polish," but that's maybe being rude to my first draft. #writingcommunity

"He was a lost boy in a sea of lost boys, out Peter Panning through life when what the world needed was more Wendys." My current WIP follows a young man who gets knocked into a world of supernatural strange. Not genre fiction, character driven. For nature lovers who like magical personal journeys.
