@markruffalo.bsky.social Thank you for producing (and working in) Dark Waters (2019). There are SO MANY amazing screenplays that discuss serious and sensitive realities, but very few producers with the courage to bring them to the audience. May you inspire #Indian producers too! #Bollywood

Claim: "Water vapor is a greenhouse gas!"
Reality: Yes, and there's more of it in a warmer atmosphere

-"CO2 is plant food!"
-pretty hard to eat when you're on fire

-"Climate has changed before!"
-We know, we told you that

-"Scientists don't know everything!"
- doesn't mean we know *nothing*

A thing that always makes me smile - people discovering that fountain pens are comfortable to write with, that their hand hurts less than with a biro, and their handwriting is more legible when they're not having to press so hard.

Is it a slightly smug smile? Yes, sorry, I am a very fallible human.

Forced Consent & Consent Bypass

16 June 2025
Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."
