In Serbia, students created a political revolution that ousted an authoritarian leader

Exhibit A on why billionaire wealth should be taxed

Part of it is lifestyle. The world’s private jets, for example, release more CO2 in two seconds than most of the world’s people emit in an entire year. But the biggest impact of this group comes from their investments in companies that contribute to or profit from climate chaos

I tried to come up with a pithy statement but I can’t top Jan Hasselman, a senior attorney with Earthjustice: “This is an idiotic project.”

All because of a lane change.

yep

Desperate fighting underground in the natural gas pipelines that cross Ukraine.

Make Cancer Great Again! @nytimes.com expose details the lengths to which Trump's EPA has gone to exempt polluters from air toxic regulations. @ericlipton.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...

We must do better. Vote accordingly

“Terminator 2’s subtitle is Judgment Day; judgment day in 2026 will be election day, and I’ll be rooting – and voting – for humanity against oligarchical technology.”

Cutting greenhouse gases by 18% by 2030, and by 45% by 2045, would still allow events such as the record heatwaves of the last few months to become frequent and common, but could help prevent them from getting drastically worse.

Globally, electric vehicles are outselling internal combustion vehicles. And then there is the United States…

Refreshing to see reporting that places a pedestrian death in the context of a system that was designed to kill people walking. State DOT official says they plan to address the truly shocking number of pedestrian deaths and injuries by "encouraging people to use crosswalks" 🙄

The Trump administration’s cuts to weather satellites will set the country back nearly a decade, experts say. The loss of data used to observe, forecast and research extreme weather could prevent the country from making major advances in weather prediction in the coming years.

Good thing I’m doing my part for the climate by not driving and flying sparingly

Now do everyone else in his party

This photo from Toronto... For removing a bike lane... Why are things like this man? I feel like I'm losing my damn mind. (Photo Cred: www.reddit.com/r/toronto/s/...)

Every time a surface parking lot disappears an angel gets it’s wings!

In one of the fastest warming regions of the world, thawing permafrost has made the tap water undrinkable

We need to harden everything against cars

Adding Anti-fascist Economics to my reading list

The “brute force” approach of AI requires lots of math - and energy and water. This doesn’t seem very intelligent to me.

Earth faces “rapid destabilization” as a result of climate change, an international group of scientists find in the latest edition of an annual checkup of the planet’s “vital signs.” www.scientificamerican.com/article/clim...

Visualize the vast wealth of California’s billionaires and how little they pay in taxes

The United States has the highest traffic fatalities by far among high income countries. Rather than tackling this problem, Sean Duffy is making our streets and roads more dangerous. And for what? Nonsense about bike lanes being “woke”

“For context, $700 million is worth approximately 580 miles of sidewalks, 670 miles of trails or 1,300 miles of protected bike lanes.”

A housing development is not carbon neutral if it’s car dependent

Columbus, looking in your direction

“There was a time in the recent past — in the 1980s and 1990s — when we could have been forgiven for not being sure how to respond to the future disruptions of climate breakdown. But now we know.”

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

I am not happy about the 10 MPH speed limit on shared use paths - this is lower than the speed limit for classic bikes (15 MPH). I am very happy about the new driver’s ed requirement to teach the “Dutch reach” method for opening car doors!

Sprawl is hurting your hosting: “One reason is that our social networks may have become more scattered as cities have got larger”

“Local stores next to the protected bike-lane have seen a 49% increase in sales, compared to an average of 3% for Manhattan as a whole.” (Among MANY other public benefits.) Want To Make More Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane. #CityMakingMath via @fastcompany.com #BikeLanesMeanBusiness

The NSF has quietly followed the administration’s requests and gutted the Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences which funds 2/3rds of the nation’s social science research.

This is nuts. @murray.senate.gov: “Tying funding for transit projects to marriage rates and how many babies a woman has is the sort of bizarre and dystopian idea you’d expect in a TV show, not actual policy put forth by the U.S. government — yet here we are."

Terraforming America for compute, as seen from the sky: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“the age of accountability for the fossil fuel industry has just begun and has a bright future. The reason for that is the emergence of a powerful field of climate science known as attribution science.”

For a while it seemed like technology transcended distance and geography. But geography is back.

Heat, extreme rainfall, increased wildfires, food supply disruptions are coming.

The National Science Foundation withheld $1.4 billion - 1/5 of its budget - that Congress had intended for research over the course of the past year

Gordie Howie Bridge

He was in a crosswalk when killed. But the driver got a slap on the wrist

Strava AI is passive-aggressive

The world faces two energy problems: hundreds of millions lack access to energy, and most of our energy still produces greenhouse gas emissions. The first energy problem of the world is the problem of energy poverty. People in very poor countries have very low emissions.

Someone in London, Ontario gets it

Better sidewalks would certainly help boost that number
