Quote tweeted tweet New tweet: “Friends of Bear Cat Rescue @feeder... •2h We are now forced to close intake and not help anymore cats until we find homes for the adoptable cats in our care. We literally have no more space and I'm having to say no to cats who will die without us. all these kittens are still here. Please share. SF Bay Area” Quoting older tweet: “Friends of Bear Cat Rescue • 3/1/26 SF BAY AREA it makes me very sad that we still have 8 perfect, healthy big kittens growing up mostly in an enclosure here at the rescue. They should be cuddling on someone's lap, zooming around, being happy babies. Soon they'll be a year old and still sitting here, waiting” [pictures of adorable kittens]

🚨 SF area! (And anyone who can share). @friendsofbear.bsky.social (feederofcats) over on Twitter needs your help!

Turning industrial exhaust into useful materials with a new electrode - American Chemical Society Researchers have designed a specialized electrode that captures airborne CO2 and directly converts it into a useful chemical material called formic acid.

Scientists have developed an electrode that can capture CO2 directly from flue gas & straight from the atmosphere, no purification required. The electrode process turns the CO₂ into formic acid, a weak acid currently used to preserve livestock feed & tan leather buff.ly/sUIzHlC #ShareGoodNewsToo

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

New EU rules to stop destruction of unsold clothes and shoes The measures under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation will allow businesses to benefit from a more circular economy.

The waste generated from unsold clothes in Europe creates over 5 million tons of CO2 annually. This new rule would ban the destruction of unsold clothes and shoes, pushing companies to manage their stock better and focus on other options like reuse or donations. #goodnews

Sometimes when my eyes spring open at two am I reach for silly stuff to read me back to sleep. Last night it was my old copy of Bored of the Rings. Holy crom is it dated! Would anyone born after 1980 get any of the references?

Whenever I say we should return to 1940-1980 tax levels for the super wealthy (billionaires) of 91%+ marginal tax I hear, "If you do that, billionaires will leave the USA."

2. Don't threaten me with a good time.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
