this is such a stark climate change visual and it works great for all the reasons @rachitdubey.bsky.social explains here thebulletin.org/2025/07/how-...

it's not exactly binary, but it is a really clear and explicit step change over time.

To defend against malicious AI, the United States needs to build a robust digital immune system To stay safe, the United States must utilize defensive AI, which can actively defend against malicious use.

Get ready for climate change! Before it’s too late Living in the evacuation zone of a major fire gave me a taste of the coming climate crisis—and an appreciation for the human capacity to prevent or stop a disaster.

"The more concerning insensitivity is that wildfires have become so commonplace in the West that a fire bigger than Manhattan does not attract the slightest attention of editors in New York." — @dawnstover.bsky.social @thebulletin.org

No, cloud seeding did not cause the deadly Texas floods. Scientists remain divided over whether cloud seeding even works. So why won't conspiracy theories about weather modification go away? thebulletin.org/2025/08/the-...

Weather conspiracies reared their ugly head again this summer. Why have they gone mainstream, and what do the political elites who promote them get out of it? thebulletin.org/2025/08/the-...

Welp now my post shows up on a general query about a REAL HISTORICAL FACT lmao. Google is cooked

"i never claimed to have come up with that phrase."

he's now explaining the cooperative building mechanism of the game. i'm nodding. conclusion: "it's also number go up"

i thought "likers get likes" was a cool phrase my bf coined to describe the goodwill engendered by engaging with and supporting other people's social media posts that manifests as more engagement and support of your own posts, but he just told me it's from death stranding

Trump Rips Josh Hawley As 'Second-Tier Senator' Over Stock Trading Vote

Sen. Josh Hawley joined with Democrats Wednesday to advance a bill that would ban politicians at the federal level from trading individual stocks.

If the everyday American can’t profit off of insider information, politicians shouldn’t either. That’s why I voted to ban them from trading stocks.

Neither Members of Congress nor the President should be trading individual stocks. They have information the public doesn't, and they take advantage of that.

That is not public service. It is corruption. Ban it.

all the examples are bad but i reserve extra loathing for the woman who brought chicken to a vegetarian restaurant

i like to think that the rough draft for this script had "like a middle-finger to Big Oil" instead of "like a middle finger to CO2"

Forged signatures found on Mayor Adams’ petitions to run as an independent The Adams campaign said it is conducting a review after Gothamist found signatures that were fraudulently obtained or outright forged.
