The US has no more jurisdiction to machine-gun Caribbean-bound Venezuelan speedboats in Venezuelan waters than they do to machine-gun Canadian lobster boats off the coast of Newfoundland. If you don't call the former a war crime then who's saying that the door isn't open for the latter.

Thanks to @doctorvive.bsky.social for stating so clearly that COP30 was a failure. The politicians spouting fossil fuel talking points are failing us. We need to hold them to account.

So, below is EU President von der Leyen saying that the EU is "not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions."
And here is the Saudi envoy to COP30 saying exactly the same thing.
I'm telling you: climate politics are unified around the lie that we can keep fossil fuels & still deal w climate anyway.

As @doctorvive.bsky.social has pointed out a quadrillion times, it such a moment of significant and extreme alarm that fossi lfuel industry talking points are being shamelessly and bluntly repeated by people like this
Very, very, very grim

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.

Just a Remembrance Day note: my deepest thanks to all who served, and serve today.
I try to reflect on how horrible war is, on what soldiers endure or can't endure, but my imagination can't quite reach it. So all I have is gratitude.

UPDATE: Canada has announced that it has lost its measles elimination status.
This is a direct result of the increase in anti-vax disinformation, which has caused large, sustained outbreaks in the country over the last year.

The ideas underlying socialism are hardly toxic. Inclusion, community, compassion, opportunity, effective governance are all fundamental, widely embraced. The term socialism itself has been cynically stigmatized. But with a little good sense, we can move past that and focus on values & results.

The 20th-century economist Robert Solow created the theory of infinite economic growth by substituting "technological innovation" for the productivity of land in his model, thereby decoupling the economy from any limits imposed by land or ecosystems.

A new study published in Environmental Research Letters reveals that even advanced climate intervention strategies may not be enough to secure the future of wine grapes, coffee and cacao. These crops are vital to many economies and provide livelihoods for farmers worldwide. However, they are increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Rising temperatures […]

I’d have liked that season more if the Jays had won that game, sure. But kind of in the same way that I’d have liked a filet mignon more if it had one more bite. It was still pretty fucking good!

I’m glad for Los Angeles the city, who have been through so much.
I have nothing against the Dodgers as a team. I’m a big fan of Ohtani, Freeman, Yamamoto.
But I’ve never wanted a group of men on a team to win as much as this group of Blue Jays players.

Los Angeles suffered tremendously because of the wildfires. The president of the United States has wanted to make the immigrants who make the city suffer and declared war on the city. But all throughout it, L.A. makes it work daily. It’s a place where people go to make it. LA deserves this.
