Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

The job change and layoff part of this story is infuriating, but being the CEO of a $7bn utility and begging your employee to wear a company hat in videos and retweet things is just pathetic

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

If we are already getting anonymous "holy shit this guy is annoying" stories I'm not sure Elon Musk makes it to Inauguration Day in Trump's inner circle. He might be on a 2016 Transition Chair Chris Christie arc www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

One annoying thing about historical research is looking up how long it took to get from A to B in the US by train in 1880 and then looking it up now and realizing it was faster in 1880.

Haven’t said hey on this platform yet so, 👋 hey

I’m not much of a poster in general and doubt that will change here, but happy to be here. The vibes remind me of my favorite Twitter years even if the overall vibes outside are grim.
