The idea *suppliers* of fossil fuels are neutral meeters-of-demand remains one of the worst lies
Their job is not just digging up fossil fuels: their job is bullying, pushing, fighting, lying and lobbying to ensure fossil fuels get burned as much as possible

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars.
If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.

Science has a problem. The integrity of research is increasingly threatened by a deluge of fabricated publications. Estimates suggest that in some fields, as many as 5–15% of all papers may be fake. Artificial intelligence has further accelerated this practice.
