Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

seems like an easy fix for the US to just adopt the sensible EU regs! bsky.app/profile/bubb...
again, this is a Europe regulations vs U.S. regulations thing! there are a total of five pages discussing the different beam strength at different wavelengths in the european standard, whereas the DOT says headlights must be "white."

yes it's not the LED tech per se that's the problem (though LEDs have enabled headlights to appear in blue hues which is problematic for light pollution reasons) bsky.app/profile/bubb...
the problem isn't LED lights, though, it's DOT having far less strict standards for beam pattern & glare than Europe (whose regulations are followed by much of the rest of the world). The allowed height of the lamps and the allowed height of the beam is much lower in the ECE standard.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Musk's "time away from politics" involved having Republicans completely revamp the 2021 infrastructure bill so that a huge swath of the $42.5 billion in taxpayer broadband grants are funneled to his company (and away from better options) in exchange for satellite service he already planned to offer

Only a couple of major news outlets (CNN, USA) are covering this at all. You would think if the goal was clicks and views, this would be all over the media. If clicks are not the goal, it makes you think about: what is?

ACA was their plan. It was the Republican plan, copied from Romney in Massachusetts and expanded nationwide. The reason they have nothing is because the ACA is the most right-wing option that actually (sort of) works. They have no alternatives because they don’t like how any alternative works.

IMD is an opportunity to acknowledge how patriarchal oppression hurts everyone - men included - and find common cause in dismantling systems of power that teach men that their social inheritance is that of violence, cruelty, and isolation. A better world is possible.
