During the UN #COP30 climate talks in Brazil, we'll hear a lot about 'Carbon Capture' from the fossil fuel industry and their apologists as they DESPERATELY try and avoid the necessary rapid phase-out of fossil fuels.

Don't be fooled.

On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Who would have thought that the announcement of the BYD Atto 1 selling for under $30k NZD would anger so many people on Facebook? It's crazy. Me and the other moderator have removed so many seething comments from people who feel threatened by this smöl car. 🤷

If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism

And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia.

It’s really that simple.

23 million US federal acres are under oil & gas lease for potential drilling, with ~12.4 million acres actively producing.

So, no, I dont want to hear anything about land use for solar energy, which can also use rooftops, car ports, closed landfills, balconies, or even covering water canals.

The Word is Fascism. Use it to Describe Trump’s Regime.

Suppose it behaves like a fascist, talks like a fascist, & relies on the strategies and talking points of fascists. In that case, it's the Trump Administration.

I thought this was an excellent post from Willie Jackson that explained the state of the economy and exactly how it got there. I'd like to see all Labour MPs repeat the exact same message again and again to try and cut through the spin from the right.

@gruber.foo what the judge seems to miss in the rules of _Calvin_ball is that implicit in the name and the first rule is that Calvin always wins. What she is describing then is better described as Trumpball
