Find it and watch it while you still can. Musk Doc.

Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk: “A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

“We” are not making billion on oil. Oil corporations, your family and yourself are making billions. Every word of this is atrocious.

Here's a supercut of notable moments from Trump's rally tonight in Georgia, including a lot of gutter racism, blasphemy, and reveling in the suffering of Americans who are struggling with high prices:

Yikes! Still warming… #elnino #climatecrisis

Saturday El Niño update - Sea surface temperatures are still warming across Niño region 3.4 over the last week. Note that I finally had to readjust the scale on the map view, so it's not quite comparable to prior updates. 🌊 Data from @noaa.gov OISSTv2.1: www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt...

Turns out the guardrails were just peer pressure with better branding. The whole system ran on the honor code and one guy showed up with no honor.

His voice is awful squeaky and wildly fluctuating to be speaking truth. Worst poker player ever.

Impressive line of strong to severe thunderstorms along Central Coast, including SLO & western SBA counties. Special Marine Warnings are in effect for potential waterspouts, & there's even a Severe T-storm Warning over land for strong winds (with a "possible tornado" tag). #CAwx

WITKOFF TO PUTIN (yes, that Putin): “You talk so much about Trump being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir. I salute that. I commend you.” 🤯 we are so cooked. Russia was never a hoax.

weforum.orgWe're in a 'polycrisis' - a historian explains what that meansYou’re not alone if it seems there are multiple challenges affecting the world simultaneously - it can be summed up by the word ‘polycrisis’. First coined in the 1970s, the word has been popularized by the historian Adam Tooze to describe the coming together of multiple crises. Here, Tooze explains what the concept is about and how it can actually help to name it. “If you've been feeling confused and as though everything is impacting on you all at the same time, this is not a personal, private experience,” says historian Adam Tooze. “This is actually a collective experience.” And that experience has a name - ‘polycrisis’. It describes the interplay between the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the energy, cost-of-living and climate crises. The word cropped up throughout panel discussions at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos. Experts evaluating the short- and long-term challenges facing the planet for the Forum’s Global Risks Report 2023, found the risk of polycrises is growing - “where disparate crises interact such that the overall impact far exceeds the sum of each part”. Tooze, Professor of History at the University of Columbia in New York, was in Davos and explained...

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event Supercut:

$10 Billion +. Musk giving 70 million kids a share of Space X stock, to be held in Trump Accounts is the most twisted power grab yet. Get an entire generation beholden to Musk and Trump. Own the Communications and Starlink/Starshield. Evil. www.businessinsider.com/trump-praise...

🧸 Lure w/ food & shoot point blank. 💔 The Trump philosophy in a maddening nutshell. #impeach #saveourparks

Alt National Park Service@altnps.bsky.social

A rule announced Friday reverses the Biden administration’s 2024 ban, allowing sport hunters to lure black and brown bears with food. This teaches bears to associate people with food, putting hikers, campers and the bears themselves at risk.

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

Pretty soon, conservative Extreme Court Justices are going to rule that data centers are “people” and you have to let them in your neighborhood or it’s discrimination.

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Useful power outage tips & prep for disasters. The bunny cooling trick is also good for people. Have 2 Ryobi portable fans that run on rechargeable batteries. I can recharge using my portable solar power pack. Place ice on a box & run the fan over the ice for cooling. #disasters #PSPS #poweroutage
