Yesterday was also Ornette Coleman’s birthday. He would have been 96. I’ve been listening to the two disc “Complete Science Fiction” with some beautiful tunes like Law Years and Street Woman. Coleman is known as a free jazz innovator but that doesn’t mean amelodic or unrehearsed. This is exquisite
I don't think most people grasp the insane amount of resources that the US allocates to weapons and war machines. The list of better things we could do with the military budget is nearly endless.
Guess they're fired all the subeditors, at least "purported to be" would be grammatical
Dear @kajakallas.bsky.social and @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, can the EC please take tough measures against this member state for seizing money from and blackmailing a European partner country under attack by Russia?

EU adopts -90% emission reduction target for 2040, and max 5% of that by 'high-quality international targets', i.e. reductions elsewhere. 14 years to go and a *lot* of work to be done!
Price of Crude Oil WTI (USD/Bbl) over a five-year period, spanning from 2021 to early 2026. The chart shows a significant price peak in 2022 reaching over $120, followed by a general downward trend with various fluctuations, eventually hitting a low near $55 in late 2025 before a sharp vertical spike to the current price of 90.900. This recent surge represents an increase of +23.880 (+35.63%), highlighted in green text above the blue line graph.
The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.
The warming is steady and global temperatures will continue to increase until we bring carbon emissions to zero.

And now $50B in emergency funding for war in Iran?
Priorities.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

Understanding cause and effect (if I hit the snooze button then I’ll get more sleep) and second order thinking (but then I’ll be late for work) are the basics of being an intelligent person.
Unfortunately we decided to elect the dumbest and most spiteful people we could find to the highest offices.

Time series graph showing the Baltic Sea annual maximum ice extent in 1900-2026.
The sea ice extent in the Baltic Sea probably reached its maximum on 20 February 2026, when the extent was 181,000 km².
Based on the maximum, this was the most widespread ice cover in the Baltic Sea since 2011, and overall the 5th harshest ice winter in the 21st century.
