‘We’ve done it before’: how not to lose hope in the fight against ecological disaster
Some days it can feel as if climate catastrophe is inevitable. But history is full of cases – such as the banning of whaling and CFCs – that show humanity can come together to avert disaster

I want to praise the foresight of whomever agreed to Kimmel's contract - it thoroughly protected his right to free speech. Comedians everywhere need this. They will cross the line again and again. And hopefully for the best of reasons.

"Make cities better" may be the best direction for climate action in these grim times. 80% of Americans live in urban areas. Creating neighborhoods with reliable, frequent public transit, protected active transit, and dense, affordable housing could make US cities *so much better to live in* while..
Watching a panel on "urbanism as climate action." This is a huge, burgeoning field/idea/movement, but the desiccated boomer counsels who decide where climate funding goes are *clueless* about it and so it has to seek funding elsewhere.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

The renewable revolution is picking up speed.

All across the globe, we’re seeing unprecedented growth and investment in clean energy – displacing fossil fuels and helping to reduce planet-heating emissions.
Climate action can feel slow – but the fastest energy leap in history has begun
Weaning ourselves off fossil fuels is glacially slow – isn’t it? This pessimistic narrative doesn’t stack up against evidence of very rapid change in the real world.

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

Glad to see Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. I understood why folks wanted to unsubscribe from Disney + & Co; at the same time I worried about who was buying up the stock for cheap.

The issue of free speech is a whole lot bigger than Jimmy Kimmel. Cancelling Disney plus isn't going to do anything with these kind of antics: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/o....

www.opb.org/article/2025... - "The cuts could make it harder for disabled students and their families to access help, especially in some of Oregon’s poorest rural communities." Way to go after rural Republicans. Will this put the spotlight on administration's falsehood's about DEI?

Worry when politicians tout one existential threat is bigger than another instead of collaborating. It means they have a personal stake re: climate change as an existential threat and AI also as part of the problem and solution vs. a world where AI is the only existential threat.
