Good Morning! On this day, (Sun) Nov 9 in 1913 Hedy Lamarr was born. She may be best known for her roles in the 1940s Oscar-nominated films ‘Algiers’ and ‘Sampson and Delilah.’ But it is her technical mind that is her greatest legacy, including inventing the basis for WiFi.

Israel will tell us with a straight face that it's a leader in green energy while doing ecocide to Gaza and emitting more than 100 countries. As COP30 begins let's remember that military emissions aren't even calculated. #cop30

building (and selling) massive amounts of clean energy isn’t a climate solution unless you also phase out fossil fuels
China's formal submission of its new climate targets leaves out the commitment made in 2021 to gradually reduce coal consumption in 2026-30. It does reiterate the commitment to reduce carbon intensity, which is currently badly off track, but doesn't provide any progress update.

Republicans are losing this fight right now. Why the hell would Democrats cave with nothing for the working people? When millions are losing healthcare?
If you cave now, you don’t deserve to lead, you deserve to be replaced.

It’s interesting how much the IDF’s constant ceasefire violations in Gaza and Lebanon line up with the way people familiar with Israeli culture say Israelis like to test everyone’s boundaries to find out exactly how much they can get away with.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Should be even stronger for Israel, which is activel committing genocide and multiple war crimes every day, ignoring the cease-fire and attacking neighboring countries at will. Israel is a rogue state that needs to be stopped. Or dissolved.
Starting a war and expecting to move freely in Europe is hard to justify.
The EU is tightening visa rules for Russian nationals amid continued drone disruptions and sabotage on European soil.
Travelling to the EU is a privilege, not a given.

Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.
Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.

As talk of new nuclear power and weapons continues, remember how that industry has destroyed people in US and around the world. It’s a terribly dirty industry from exploration & mining through enrichment, operation of reactors, and the unsolved problem of nuclear waste. (+ nuclear weapon testing.)
