TRUMP 2016: “Hillary is running for president in what looks like a rigged election.” TRUMP 2026: “If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.”

That’s such an important point. There was a case here where a quadriplegic man went to the ER and was denied a special mattress and wasn’t regularly turned. He developed horrible pressure sores and ended up doing MAiD because he “didn’t want to be a burden”. That ER made him feel like a burden

The 1% is going to force humanity to extinction. 83 million people are driving roughly 8,291,700,000 into extinction because of their greed/avarice. And the world’s governments are complicit because they won’t regulate the creation of a digital weapon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZMj...

I want to vote for Progressive Democrats, not centrist, corporatist toe the line, take the legalized bribery donations, and continue to do the insider trading status quo Democrats, because the status quo Democrats brought us to where we are today, temporarily fubared, until we vote out this fascist.

In 2025, Donald Trump tried to take over voting via Executive Order. We sued and won. Then his DOJ sued 30 states to get their full voter files. We intervened and won. DOJ is 0-21. Now, DOJ is asking the SCOTUS to permit Trump to leverage the US Postal Service to attack voting.

What @rokhanna.bsky.social said.

CNN ran the numbers: climate ranks 14th with voters, at 3%. In 2016, 40% called it a very big problem. In 2026, 39%. Ten years, the hottest decade ever recorded, $1.5 trillion in disaster losses and it moved one point the wrong way. That's not on them. That's on us.

What @andersaslund.bsky.social said.

Trump was elected to eliminate the Corporate Transparency Act so the oligarchy could keep laundering money. It required many companies to report to FinCEN who actually owns or controls them, which makes it harder for rich people, money launderers, and other bad actors to hide behind anonymous LLCs.

from Casey Michel: "Trump simply announced that there was a whole suite of legislation that folks no longer needed to worry about. He had created a new legal architecture by fiat," providing a road map for crooked regimes and corrupt oligarchs newrepublic.com/article/2139...

Dumbfounded. These Ocean Temps are WILD! Surface ocean temps departure from normal. The Tropical Eastern Pacific El Niño region is +8-12°F. And we still have months of warming ahead of us! We have reached this intensity 3 months ahead of any other El Niño on record. It’s in its own Universe.

The forecast El Niño peak is so high, I think I just rolled my ankle! 🤣 #elnino

Rivers across Europe are running low on water. The Rhine, Danube and Po are at historically low levels. The water crisis is being intensified by global warming driven by the burning of coal, oil and gas. www.dw.com/en/europes-r...

Hot off the press, so to speak, the NOAA strength probabilities for August were just released. Given that the current El Nino is already "very strong," I'd say this looks conservative. www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/ana...

This sets Arctic climate research back so far. What a shame. The pain is the point, however.

@boomboomhiller.bsky.social gets me every time in this scene from #WidowsBay. The show made me laugh and yelp, and I loved it so much I wrote about it on my Substack. vibespocalypse.substack.com

Can someone explain to me why #YouTube is listing Dog Day Afternoon as a documentary? Enshittification is in full force and not even Al Pacino and John Cazale have been spared!

Watching #AppleTV 's #WidowsBay, it really was awesome seeing women subvert tired horror tropes. That’s why we need more women as showrunners. Thank you, Katie Dippold.

This is the inaugural entry into my Soundtrack to the End of the World. The dominant theme of this modern era seems to be finding meaning, connection, and joy in this vacuous, lonely abyss and latching hold of it with dear life. Otis captures this sense of disappointment and yearning so well.

A physics-based analysis concludes that this year will be the warmest, not second warmest. In any case, we can learn something about climate change. See 2026 On Track for Warmest Year – mailchi.mp/caa/2026-on-... Also available on Substack: jimehansen.substack.com/p/2026-on-tr...

At risk of sounding arrogant, the #FOTW contains urgent info about where our climate, our world, and our society are headed, which everyone needs to hear But it is getting very little traction 😞 Please help share and promote 🙂 @chrisgpackham.bsky.social @jporritt.bsky.social @anthonyhorowitz.com

Totally and utterly unnecessary We don't need and we don't want these ridiculous and dangerous Californian tech gimmicks and job destroyers www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

More research showing climate models are not in line with NASA CERES satellite observations. The rate of global heat uptake is increasing much faster than in the real world than in models. This should be front page news everywhere, but won't be covered anywhere.

And here is the latest CFSv2 Nino 3.4 forecast ensemble plume through December, 2026. There is a non-trivial chance of breaking 4°C over the 1991-2020 baseline by October.

If you live in a country whose Supreme Court members fully understand that your president is a rapist, yet grant him extraordinary powers never before given a chief executive, you may correctly call it a shit hole country.

This bill is the most common sense thing ever, so I’m not surprised every Republican voted no.

I remember when the CEO of the IAB called privacy professionals "Extremists." When your business model is built in privacy violations ("surveillance capitalism") then every reasonable pushback, every regulation, every lawsuit, is a threat to that model. bsky.app/profile/olds...
