One of the side effects of Prince Andrew losing his royal status is that he no longer gets an Icelandic name. In Icelandic tradition, we translate the names of hereditary heads of state and popes. But since Andrew is no longer royalty, he’s no longer Andrés - now he's just Andrew.

President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

We're probably on track for more than 3°C of heating, and with the orange clown back in the White House, it's only going to be speeding up.

"Humanity has failed to limit global heating to 1.5C and must change course immediately, the secretary general of the UN has warned."

The White House Building Every president since John Adams has occupied the White House, and the history of this building extends far beyond the construction of its walls. From the Ground Floor Corridor rooms, transformed from...

Is there no bottom to this man’s pettiness, or does it just tunnel straight to the earth’s core? Read the Major Events timeline, for the years 1998, 2013, 2023, 2024. It’s less a biography and more a spite-fueled art installation. Is this hilarious or something else entirely?

Basic biology.

Reagan believed free trade was vital for growth, warning that tariffs and protectionism hurt everyone, including the U.S. He talked tough against unfair foreign practices, but only used tariffs as a “necessary evil” when diplomacy failed. Bottom line: Reagan preferred open markets, not trade wars.

Been warning about that. Can’t wait for the headlines explaining how ‘technically’ this still counts as democracy - even as it’s blatantly rigged.

What strikes me as odd is that companies and individuals are donating to build the ballroom. To me, that reeks of corruption.

It's not common, but I understand when someone calls out conservatives who deny climate science, whether it’s a scientist or anyone else.

Just for the record, where exactly do you see these "prominent climate scientists posting every hour that conservatives are stupid"? I’ve followed this debate for a long time, and that’s not what I see. Scientists are usually too cautious, but conservatives often complain when someone answers them.

"Viewpoint diversity" about whether human activity is warming the planet, or whether vaccines work, is like "viewpoint diversity" about whether the sky is blue or whether the Earth is round. It falls outside the range of good faith scientific and academic discourse.

I’m not staying up‑to‑date on this, is it possible to track it? If these records aren’t maintained, it borders on a violation of our collective responsibility to humanity.

I’m optimistic that the underlying temperature readings for this data are accessible and will become available in due course, although the current regime may pose challenges to timely updates for now.

Could anyone explain why the September temperature record has not yet been updated in the NASA GISS database?

Israel says it will return to ceasefire hours after carrying out strikes on Gaza - live updates Hamas and Israel accuse each other of violations, as hospital sources in Gaza say death toll reaches 44 and IDF says two soldiers killed.

Israel’s “ceasefire” strategy: bomb first, announce peace later, repeat until everyone’s thoroughly confused and Gaza’s hospitals overflow. Humanitarian aid? Maybe next time - right after the next airstrike, of course! What a masterclass in conflict resolution.

The #comic Hugleikur Dagsson just got kicked off Meta. Let’s make him feel at home here on Bluesky. His work is dark, sarcastic, and absolutely hilarious in my view.

No Kings protests across US kick off with National Guard on standby Protests are planned in over 2,500 cities across the US, including New York, DC, Atlanta and Los Angeles.

#NoKings protests sweep the US, hundreds of thousands flood cities, demanding democracy, not monarchy. Times Square, D.C., LA, Miami: all peaceful despite National Guard on standby. Trump dodges the “king” label, but critics see creeping authoritarianism and recall fights against fascism.
