Carbon credits are failing to help with climate change — here’s why The idea that emissions can be offset through projects that claim to avoid releases or to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is fatally flawed.

Carbon offsets, though widely used, often fail to deliver real emission cuts. They undermine global climate goals by enabling polluters to avoid reducing fossil-fuel use.

This is heartbreaking but also a good example of what the national guard is for and should be doing… not invading America cities.

This is a quite old conspiracy theory for anyone who listened to Art Bell.

Was he storing it in his bathroom?

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t. Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

Do you know of studies particularly about safety of good bike infra and ppl with disabilities, especially those with mobility issues & bvi? We are on the cusp of a good PBL from our DOT but it's not being well-received by many who fear navigating car lanes AND bike lanes, bikes at intersections, etc

State highway (downtown main street) update Alternative 1: Remove a parking lane & replace it with a parking protected 2-way bike lane.

State highway (downtown main street) update Alternative 2: Reduce a parking lane width & widen sidewalks. Nothing for bikes.

Our possible AAA #biking infra future looks less likely bc of oppo frm those with disabilities. Instead of 1 car parking lane replaced w/ a PBL we might get 0️⃣ for bikes, no parking removed & wider sidewalks. Are there examples of disability-friendly protected bike lanes? How 2 compromise? Ideas?

This is some bullshit.

Nice….

This is political enshittification isn't it?

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

How to Fight Your Health Insurance Denial with an External Appeal When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

please seek help.

So concerned ppl change light bulbs, turn back the thermostat, avoid meat to reduce carbon emissions ... and the NFL flies around the world emitting lots of heat trapping gases to play games. That sounds about right. Privilege does what it wants.

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you'll be booking a day out asap. "I've always loved museums," she says, "but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I've done something called 'playing postcards' We do the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favourite in the cafe."

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries

This is it. The long game corrupted the foundations.

No Kings — Freedom (video) Why protest is patriotic

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too.
