Overshoot, the temporary crossing of climate targets before warming is reversed, has shifted from theoretical models to an urgent reality. Addressing this challenge requires effective strategies and fair governance systems to manage the unprecedented risks www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The strange and persistent psychological distance between us and climate disaster An analysis of dozens of previously published studies reveals people systematically underestimate their own vulnerability to climate threats.

'That finding suggests a strategy for communicating about climate change: reduce the tendency to overoptimism by framing climate risks relation to specific groups rather than, say, humanity as a whole." www.anthropocenemagazine.org/2026/03/the-...

The pretense of corporate personhood dates to the 1800s. Buckley v Valeo in the 1970s initiated the legal monstrosity that money is speech protected under the 1st Amendment. Citizens United just bundled it up. It took over a century to get here. It will be a hard fight back, but we can do it.

Ouch. That kind of guts me. I don’t like feeling powerless, and doing what I can. It isn’t hopeless by a long shot but we have got to remain engaged. Do not let them retreat and regroup.

Who knew that the king of debt and bankruptcy would usher in this level of debt? Or that such a lifelong abuser of US courts would be so lawless?

Which is why I’m talking primaries- that’s when we choose who is on the ticket. I’ve had many conversations with non-voters who say basically what you are saying. I ask about voting in primaries and they don’t do that either. It’s like they wake up a week before the general election and say “Nah”.

If other criminals cans be stripped of illicit gains, why not these? There may be a way.

Voter turnout is terrible. I’ve worked primaries with under 20% turnout. This isn’t how to get the candidates we need and want. I wish the answer was simple, but getting to this place didn’t happen all at once either.

I think a lot of people believed the threat was over and everything would go back to “normal”. I don’t think many will have that perspective again.

Pretty sure our taxes would pay for it. Most. Expensive. President. Ever.

Exactly - what is the metric for “success”? It seems that they’ll just declare victory when they get tired of bombing, but what would be won? What makes all the death, destruction, loss of reputation, expense worth it?

"Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." - Douglas Adams on his Birthday 🔭 🧪

Because, unlike them, we want to be nation of laws. The right Congress can shore things up quickly and legally. Notice I don’t say they can fix it. Fixing this mess is at least a 20 year project, but they can keep anti-democratic forces at bay while we fix it.

Or we could, I dunno, make polluters clean up their messes.

Sadly, this is probably correct. The obsession with how things look rather than how things are is undeniable. Everything scripted and staged to move a narrative with little thought about facts or reason. Reality show with a dash of podcast.

Compare this thread to the Chilcot Checklist, produced after the invasion of Iraq to avoid another stupid war.

There is nothing “conservative” about not being responsible for the consequences of one’s actions. Supposed conservative leaders who permit such criminal abuse have abandoned foundational values.

They either do not, and perhaps don’t want to, understand how government works or the intention was to break it. Since they now wish to use the broken thing I suspect ignorance and hubris are the main drivers. Ever try to teach someone something they think they already know? Yeah. That’s fun. 😑

WATCH: House Democrats took 40% of their campaign funding from Palantir in January — so I made a video to let them know what AI warfare is all about It seems like our representatives don't get the playbook of AI war — or willingly want to keep this machine of terror going.

These people have such a hard time spelling the simplest words. Pretty sure that is supposed to say “Bored of Peace”.

Nuclear weapons = bad.

It is puzzling since those with so much truly don’t need more. It is socially condoned insanity. What parent would permit one of their children to beat, bully, and murder other children to stockpile toys, food, water, etc., that they don’t need?

You misspelled ‘greediest’

🙏 keep us from MAGA ‘liberation’

Wondering about the impact of large scale deployment, but what an amazing invention. 🧪

I did not know I was capable of such a bitter laugh. I kind of didn’t want to know, actually.

Who gets to decide who you are?
It really is that simple.
