I am so tired of reading the bizarre pseudoscientific hopium surrounding COP30. The latest is the fallacious reasoning that progress has been made because we’ve reduced likely heating to 2.4C (other estimates put it at 3C, heating is only accelerating, and tipping points looming) from 5C.

D66 moet zich in de formatie niet laten gijzelen door de VVD

Het midden heeft het initiatief, dat is ook het enige goede nieuws De verkiezingsuitslag is noch positief noch negatief te noemen als je kijkt naar de getalsmatige verhoudingen tussen de ideologische blokken. Het radicaalrechtse blok is namelijk de facto even groo…

GL-PvdA is een van de weinige partijen die de rechtsstatelijke toets van de NovA wél heeft doorstaan en zelfs maatregelen neemt om de democratie te versterken – in tegenstelling tot de VVD, die een zware onvoldoende scoorde. Als er dus één partij uit het midden is gerukt, dan is dat de VVD zelf wel.

De VVD: "Wij gaan niet met die geradicaliseerde GL-PvdA in zee; zij zijn uit het midden gerukt."

De VVD heeft plannen die een bedreiging vormen voor de democratische rechtsorde, terwijl GL-PvdA de democratie versterkt.

Listen we are where we are because a lot of CEOs, managing partners, Hollywood moguls and stars, media execs, university presidents, and anyone else with a megaphone or power played it safe.

How is that going?

Musician playing ‘Ghostbusters’ outside ICE facility is arrested by agents ‘Taking us citizens out of state to detain them without charge is a new action from the Feds and should be opposed,’ her band said

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

Trump’s Speech to Generals Was Incitement to Violence Against Americans Military leaders’ quiet professionalism offers hope amid a maelstrom.

My thoughts on the Quantico meeting

My dad, my uncles, my grandfather, all were #Antifa #WWll.

Two of them did not come back from the fight.

The others lived with their scars all their days.

#StopFascism in our schools, our workplaces, our streets, and at the ballot box,

Before the bullets fly and bombs drop.

Cancel Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, any other Disney entity. Let 'em know.

Just cancelled Disney+

Remember when people told us the military would refuse to follow illegal orders? Well here they are committing literal murder for the president.

Fantastic 4: "Galactus is coming! Everyone needs to use less power if we're going to survive."
"Let's do it, F4!"

Real life: "Climate crisis is coming! Everyone needs to use slightly less power."
Techbros: "Here's a supercomputer that only tells lies and uses more power than Argentina."

Don't Worry. . .

Just when the world desperately needs wise elders, its fate is in the hands of old and ruthless patriarchs | David Van Reybrouck The global order is being dismantled by a generation that will not live to see the wreckage they leave behind, says Belgian author and philosopher David Van Reybrouck

Dagelijks worden in Gaza vrouwen en kinderen vermoord.

Vandaag gaan mensen weer massaal de straat op met een heldere boodschap: kabinet, demissionair of niet: spreek je uit en voer de druk op. Nederland heeft de plicht om alles te doen wat het kan om het genocidale geweld te stoppen.

WATCH: Los Angeles police officer in riot gear shoots Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi with a rubber bullet for no apparent reason.

'Indiscriminate, Unrestrained, Brutal': Former Israeli PM Calls Gaza Assault 'War Crimes' "What we are doing in Gaza is a war of extermination," former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert wrote in an op-ed aimed at Israeli citizens.

Threatening universities. Attacking judges. Bullying law firms. Clamping down on free speech.

If it looks like it, talks like it, and acts like it, it is moving toward authoritarianism.

This appears to be a significant step forward for global climate litigation. One of Australia's main energy firms has been forced to make a whole series of clarifications about greenwashing claims.

An excoriating, urgently important piece of writing.

RFK is lying. His lies are causing deaths.

As for Vitamin A?

'Vitamin A can’t cure measles. It can make your hair fall out, or make you have to tie the soles of your feet back on. Just ask Douglas Mawson.'

Good Friday Now The cross of imperial violence

Big banks predict catastrophic warming, with profit potential Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan and an international banking group have quietly concluded that climate change will likely exceed the Paris Agreement's 2 degree

Top Wall Street institutions are prepping for global warming that blows past the Paris Agreement.

"We now expect a 3°C world," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote, a scenario in which harvest failures are widespread and sea-level rise is measured in feet rather than inches.

Yep

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

When are you and the other living former Presidents (Biden, Bush, Clinton) going to join forces and publicly condemn what this current Administration is doing to our country? Signed: Millions of concerned, worried and panicking citizens. Much of the the free world is worried too.
