A sign of our times: New Orleans now has twice as much snow this winter as Anchorage, Alaska. Weather weirding on steroids, fueled by warm oceans.
We are in a climate emergency.
Sadly I don’t think we’ll see any other projects like this starting for a while…

Skeleton Crew was fun, had a good time watching it 👍🏻 #SkeletonCrew
NZ Govt has weakened fuel efficiency standards for vehicles, removed incentives for EVs, blocked funding cycleways, cut funding for public transport. Making NZ more dependent on fossil fuel imports - higher climate pollution, inflation, transport costs. Madness. www.stuff.co.nz/money/360547...
Really bold play to pass legislation that means all future legislation has to broadly vibe with your own party's agenda.
57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.
NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target.
It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade.
We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad.
The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...
Everyone knows we hand in our best work on the last day.
The justice select committee must reopen submissions & parliamentary services must make sure the website is working.
Maybe if they didn’t make the submission period over Xmas break, it would’ve been easier for people.
A lot of the “free speech!” people seem to think their speech stops being free as soon as someone else is free to call BS

After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.
As a child I needed free school meals, as mayor, I provide them. And this policy works – here’s the proof | Sadiq Khan
"Bluesky is awesome now, for how long?" I mean, look, all things change and end, we will all die, earth will be uninhabitable in a billion years, then the sun will expand and destroy the planet, and the universe will die a slow death of proton decay. But BEFORE THAT, let's make this place fun, okay?
