Remember, it's not climate change that's lowering the value of your home and putting your retirement at risk. Blame the people trying to warn you about the problem. floridaphoenix.com/2026/10/26/u...

I know there's a lot going on, but "pillaging and plundering foreign countries for their natural resources" seems like it should be making more headlines.

Publicly run or privately run, you’re still mostly rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic until you address the core destabilizing force in insurance markets: billions in damages from worsening extreme weather disasters. Big Oil should pay. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Insane and ridiculous. They are public documents!

Top Ten Fun Facts about what climate change is doing to Florida’s home insurance market: Fact #1 is that it’s already the most expensive in the country, and predicted to double or triple in years ahead. 🧵

Sorry, since when do state agencies just get to decide a section of RCW is unconstitutional and stop enforcing it?!?

Big Oil used to pretend climate change wasn’t real – then they pretended they were part of the solution. 🧵

Former PDC chair David Ammons says he is “perplexed” by the PDC’s ruling and points out an agency shouldn’t concede in advance but should defend the law unless directly ordered to do something else by a court www.facebook.com/share/14vL2V...

Genuinely deranged for a state commission to change campaign finance rules two weeks before an election. Corrosive to people’s faith in the election process.

Non-alcoholic beer is actually drinkable now.

“I know this wasn’t just bad luck,” said Rasheed Ali, whose family lost their home in the 2025 Eaton Fire. “I know that back in the 80s, years before we bought our home, Exxon’s own scientists issued an internal memo that the effects of their petroleum products could be catastrophic.”

Listen to markets. The cascade from insurance market collapse to mortgage market failure to property values crash and recession is widely predicted by top insurers, banks, regulators and investors. Abrupt, “systemic” economic collapse looms. We need to warn and prepare.

The good thing about nothing mattering anymore is we can rip up these pardons because they aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Rasheed Ali lost the home he shared with his wife, Gayle Nicholls-Ali, for more than 30 years in the Eaton Fire. “Does it seem fair that the oil corporations that helped cause the fire pay nothing? When the survivors and Californians have already paid so much?”

This vindictive targeting of career civil servants by Trump fascists precisely because they had served honorably was one of the things clearly at stake in 2024 - Trump promised it - but the media instead gave more coverage to the imaginary idea that Trump had a plan to lower prices to 2019 levels

lol they really do not want you to see this movie huh

Natural gas is NOT "clean." So why do 50% of likely voters believe that is is?? @emorwee.bsky.social and @rebleber.bsky.social unpack how Big Oil spent decades convincing people that this polluting fossil fuel was safe — and how that myth secured its successful takeover of our energy system. 😑

You or someone you know probably believes misinformation about natural gas; polling shows HALF of likely voters think it’s a clean fuel. We made this episode to try and debunk some of that misinformation, but also to explore the decades-long propaganda campaign fueling it. Pls like/share!

"So how does a country begin to rid itself of a century’s worth of oil and gas propaganda? It might start with understanding that none of this was predestined, as much as it might feel like it." An important @grist.org deep dive on Big Oil's campaign to push the U.S. toward a "petroculture"👇

Was great going on Heated's podcast with @emorwee.bsky.social & @tracywholf.bsky.social to unpack why smart people believe that natural gas is a climate solution and the long campaign that got us there. heated.world/p/why-smart-...

“I think Americans feel like the corporate class would feed us sawdust if they could and charge a premium." Private equity is coming for local restaurants. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/d...

About one third of claimed carbon capture just dumped secretly into the atmosphere by chevron

This so sad and infuriating. A Canadian woman who lives in the US enclave of Point Roberts and was detained by border patrol agents for six hours over bogus illegal voting claims has died because she was too scared to cross the border again to get medical care. www.cascadiadaily.com/2026/oct/20/...

Hot new Seattle Committing An Abomination In The Eyes of God just dropped.

extremely good @emorwee.bsky.social / @rebleber.bsky.social piece here, on the REALLY REALLY WILD number of ppl who think that gas is a "clean" fuel - that didn't just happen, the industry made it happen! heated.world/p/why-smart-...

Who's in charge of this country because it sure isn't us and it doesn't even appear to be the government anymore A bunch of paunchy moon-faced degenerate dead-eyed parasites forming a human centipede of investment in each others' vanity conglomerates, not a scintilla of civic virtue among them

Politicians around the world keep sacrificing renewable energy on the altar of high electricity bills, as if that will solve the problem. Here's yet another case in which fossil fuels are the real problem: www.carbonbrief.org/revealed-exp...

No billionaire, especially one that gets massive contracts from our government, should have the power to unilaterally decide to shut down communications and weapons during a war of critical importance to the US and Ukraine. We must investigate this and hold Musk accountable.

Most importantly, every single age demo is anti-AI. The technology provides no value to the average person, instead it has made customer service worse, job searching worse, online art worse, social media worse, <insert anything> worse & we're sick of it.

Billionaires throw a fit at the idea of an annual wealth tax... but literally everyone else already pays one via property taxes (either directly as a homeowner or secondarily as a renter). The only reason securities aren't taxed the same is because that's where the rich keep most of their wealth.

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration’s disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own, without federal help.

The largest heat wave of the 1960s reached ~6% of the planet, lasting 46 days over the Atlantic and adjacent areas. The largest heat wave of the 2020s hit ~85% of the globe, lasted 367 days, touching virtually everyone. Calling these “heat storms" instead of “heat waves” seems like a good invention.

Heartwarming: children open lemonade stand to raise money to cover legal liabilities of industry taking home billions in profit.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. The corruption is blatant — and it's a danger to the world.

Big Oil is Killing the American Dream of Homeownership Watch: "Home insurance rates have risen so dramatically over the last decade that the average premium now exceeds the average property-tax bill in two-thirds of US counties" www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It's fucking wild how openly "trying to put a bandaid on oil before the midterms" is Trump's only goal and something he's using our nations armed forces to achieve and all the normal "uh you gotta respect the troops!" guys don't say anything about it

Basic common sense should tell you that nearly all of the trivial number of noncitizens who attempt to vote do so out of ignorance rather than fraudulent intent. It’s easily caught & risks serious criminal penalties for no personal benefit. No rational person would do that deliberately.
