If you want to understand #climate first you need to understand how emissions are calculated. Let's do that with my wedding ring, my ally bracelet, and my cycling cuff.

I'm not qualified to diagnose anybody, but hopefully somebody in Johnson's orbit has enough sense to see this and take him aside, because having seen people do this shit before, you have to nip it in the bud or they spiral.

Some context around this, from a markets person. Historically in LatAm, leftist victories have led to sharp losses over the ~3 months after an election where the left wins. Stocks also typically underperformed into those victories. But 3y post-election, returns for leftists have been *higher*.

It's very, very telling, I think, that the markets are so concerned about the pro-democracy incumbent winning

Yeah TBH I think the left needs to crush John Samuelson's mob as a lesson for what happens to chud unions that defect.

Sam@samd.bsky.social

TWU be like “Hochul is MAGA because she doesn’t support our MAGA union” in reality, they’re just mad at Hochul because she refused to expand the union’s expensive handouts and make-work jobs funded with taxpayer $$

As a dude, honestly all the "what is the LEFT telling the MEN" shit is really weird when it's not outright offensive. "Why do MEN have to THINK about what NON-MEN feel?" Because that's how shit works and always has!

Like, I can't go around being a rude shit to people and expect good things in life. I can, unfortunately, go around being a thoughtless dipshit and not experience consequences for it for way too long, but that's not a good thing. I don't WANT to be a thoughtless dipshit!

Honestly I have never been asked anything hard of anybody on "the left" a single day in my life. Mostly I've been asked to think about what I say and consider how it might land, and sure, that's work, but it's also stuff everyone is asked to do, all the time.

I've been very careful about how I talk about this because, you know, I'm not a Black person and I don't live in Roxbury, but this has gotten to the point where I have to question whether all this is being done in good faith.

Turns out the global march of fascism was also defeated by the actual most powerful force in politics, which is thermostatic public opinion go brrrrrrrrr

Gotta admit I'm a little surprised at how little juice the DOJ has leading into the midterms. One idiotic suit against Alaska and two small ballot cases is.. well a lot less than I expected.

Reminder that like a year ago this guy ran a sticker company and could have just kept his mouth shut and kept doing that, but instead decided to do... this.

I'm not criticizing those who are showcasing the accomplishments of scientists, artists, and writers to debunk RFK Jr.'s comments but I think it's also important to treat them not as ignorance, but as the outright malice they are. He made those comments to claim a US citizen is unfit for the Senate.

I just think when some guy from YouTube ruins his own life by being a dipshit, I should get to continue not knowing who he is instead of hearing about him all the time!

turns out the reason the Donald ordered the DOJ to cover up the Epstein files is the exact reason we all knew he would order the cover up of the Epstein files, Imagine that.

Eric Lipton whining nobody is reading his six-months-late story about what's happening at the EPA while new and wildly concerning rape allegations against the President are breaking is a good summary of why the NYT will abandon journalism in the next decade and just be Zynga.

The Miami Herald also reported it as a top headline. Everywhere else? Crickets.

carlring.bsky.social@carlring.bsky.social

yesterday a Congressional committee released evidence from the Epstein files that President Trump raped more than 2 dozen different women, and the only national paper to report it as a top headline is People Magazine !?!?!! (I know how we got here, but how did we...) people.com/former-miss-...

Bare minimum the shadow docket has to be killed. This genuinely is unacceptable.

Riki Wilchins@rikiwilchins.bsky.social

For the 1st time in US history SCOTUS has more rulings on its shadow docket -- unsigned and with no opinions -- than it has cases where it has heard oral arguments and issued signed rulings. IOW they are hiding their deliberations while stealing our democracy. www.propublica.org/article/supr...

Absolutely incredible bike tour of Sydney from Sara Stace. If you don’t know her she is a force for change. While I sit around complaining she is out there changing things from the inside that leads to real change on the ground.

Before 2016 they all would have wanted to break the big October Surprise. And that's their job, frankly. Now they'll do it only if it hurts the Dems.

Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

Capital fleeing regulation is something you should be suspicious of! Always! There are plenty of non-criminal and non-stupid reasons to want to do so, but even more stupid or criminal (or both!) reasons.

This genuinely most likely is GM thinks it can get a better stock price on Nasdaq and that is their job, but if I were an investor I would be asking some hard questions about how and why they expect that to happen.

Is GM up to no good? Unlikely. Is it alarming that after Nasdaq prostrated itself before Elno to let him dump his SpaceX risk on the broader investor category, companies are signing up? Yes! Very!

During Trump's first campaign in 2016 a few pieces of reporting came out indicating that he had long used bribery and bullying to advance his business interests and some included comments that suggested he'd also used blackmail. As Radley says, shit he's been doing his entire life.

Radley Balko@radleybalko.bsky.social

It's really damning. The accusations are numerous and well-supported. But I was really struck by the descriptions of Trump's behavior -- the name dropping, strong-arming, and attempts to buy off silence. His gross rivalry with Epstein. It's all so familiar. It's shit he's been doing his entire life.

Come for the article, stay for the Euros who are gonna have a REAL bad time of it once the world order is properly adjusted.

Again a reminder that free and cheap do not exist under capitalism, things cost what they cost, the person who pays more for something is subsidizing you.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Also Nithya will be a good mayor and I kind of don't give a shit if she's a social democrat instead of a democratic socialist. DSA-LA decided to go into this eyes open about the fact that Nithya is not a cadre candidate or a committed ideologue about socialism, they can cook.

TBH I think it's fortunate, because vetoing a chapter's overwhelming endorsement vote is organization-breaking in the absence of essentially criminal misconduct by the candidate.

alyaza ΘΔ@alyazabirze.bsky.social

it's very unfortunate that the NPC has totally fucked up what at one point was a slam dunk case (Raman had an awful record on Palestine before this year) and now they're probably going to revoke her endorsement on the flimsiest pretext they could have, pissing everyone off in doing so
