An underrated thing is going to bed and *not* wondering what crazy shit will greet you in the morning

My 12-year old, after hearing about Elon Musk's plans to put a million satellites in space, "It's never good in movies when you can't see the stars."

A total hardliner. Whose father, mother, wife, and son we just killed.

“...there wasn’t a single bird in the sky... When the birds abandon you, you are truly on your own. We have so many cats in the city. If these attacks continue, whoever rules here next, they will rule over a democracy of cats. But then even cats have only nine lives.”

'Freshwater ecosystems across the country are in crisis, “overdrawn, polluted, fragmented and invaded.” Marine and terrestrial ecosystems are degraded, with reduced biodiversity. An estimated 34% of plant species and 40% of animal species are at risk of extinction.' www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/c...

“Our government is treating the suffering of the Iranian people as a backdrop for our own entertainment … the longer we remain blind to the terrible consequences of war, the more we are risking the most precious gift God gave us: our humanity.”

The below quote is from Hegseth's pastor, Brooks Potteiger, speaking at one of Hegseth's prayer gatherings at the Pentagon. This is what they think about Tomahawk missiles that fall:

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

Ack. My bad.

I mean beyond all of the loathsome obvious shit about allllll of this, the director of the fucking INSIDE fucking OUT movies saying “We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy" is a level of self-unawareness I can only marvel at

You know, there's something I said earlier that I want to amend. We were talking about the green-energy transition, and I pessimistically did some quibbling. That was stupid. Obviously, every tenth of a degree of warming that we can prevent matters. I think what got my back up a little bit was this idea that somehow the market will help solve the climate crisis, even though the market is kind of the thing that got us into the climate crisis in the first place. That's where my comment was coming from. I figured you were

Reading the Rebecca Solnit interview and … I can’t actually believe that DAVID MARCHESE said the below?

Maybe there is hope to shift the climate narrative in the centrist press?

It’s not really about energy, climate, or affordability.

These are just weaponized talking points of the ‘Abundance’-flavored EnergyTech alliance.

It’s about power & the direction we set as a country—and who gets to set that direction.

It’s about oligarchy vs. democracy.

This. Is. The. Fight.

This was all engineered to do 2 things.

1) Facilitate tech & finance centered approach to not just climate, but politics, policy, & economic system design.

2) Marginalize progressive climate justice & groups to defeat our people, community, & nature centered approach.

‘Abundance’-aligned pundits, think tanks, investor-class philanthropists, etc. also embraced this noxious approach, providing a pseudo-intellectual permission structure that tech, engineering, & finance-oriented climate folk have glommed onto.

The renewables industry, seeking markets & political opportunity of its own, have largely chosen to align WITH the fossil fuel and AI tech industry, esp, re federal “permitting reform” post-Inflation Reduction Act—NOT WITH the progressive climate justice & environmental movement

How Candidates Are Using Winks and Posts to Seek Crypto and A.I. Cash

What’s different in 2026 is that politicians on both sides of the aisle have bought into the AI Tech race (using China as a bogeyman) & it’s insatiable thirst for power—of both the electron and political sort.

Our politics are saturated by a-hole Tech & Crypto bros who think they know everything.

For decades, long predating the climate wars, we’ve had to confront “petrostate” politics.

It’s proven an immense challenge in the U.S. given bipartisan embrace (if to differing degrees) of fossil fuels.

I know this deeply & acutely from my 23+ yrs of work in New Mexico—an O&G dependent state.

Do not make deals with the devil.

"Tehran woke up today under a black rain. Think about that sentence for a moment. Oil falling from the sky because storage facilities were bombed by Israel and America. Families waking up to toxic air and Children looking out windows at black rain. War crimes by pedophiles." x.com/SZade15/stat...

Why are they literally cutting any deals at all right now?

The veil between this life and the next is thin.

This is an astounding and irresponsible and obvious lie by the Commander in Chief. This feels like another unthinkable red line crossed.

Brace yourself - energy prices may well rise quite a bit higher than last week.

"Not since Adolf Hitler blew his brains out in a bunker beneath the garden of the German Reich Chancellery on April 30, 1945, have the lives of so many people around the world been so buffeted by the psychosis of a single man."

I think the problem is that far too many Dems may be aligned with Rs and EnergyTech interests—not the public interest.
