"Australia, Canada, Norway, the US and the UK are all reducing domestic emissions under current policies, but their fossil fuel exports either remain constant, or are increasing"

Great @catclimate.bsky.social report on fossil exports with some wild diagrams

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Had such a blast with my little one and friends at the Sunderland Christmas Light switch on ! It was so exciting to see the giant immersive screen brought to life amidst the fireworks, the good madness of Alice in Wonderland and all the wonder of Christmas stories.

If I could teach everyone in this country a single thing, it would be this. Someone getting their papers does not mean citizenship. It means a lack of deportation threat. In general, undocumented people are unable to obtain--not citizenship, not even there yet--a visa/green card. Nothing.
