Okay so I haven't opened this or read the story, but uhhh Paul Weiss was the tobacco industry's favorite attorney and is now one of the top firms for oil majors (Exxon is a client)...in what universe were they ever not going to "surrender" to Trump? They're on the same team!

These people are mad at Dr. Fauci because he told them to wear a mask during a deadly pandemic.

This is brilliant. A special series about how the fossil fuel industry captured climate research to push their agenda: pollute now, clean up later. Thanks to @propublica.org and @amywestervelt.bsky.social projects.propublica.org/carbon-captu...

ABUNDANCE! Except the abundance people don’t actually give a shit about this stuff

Despite the whining about “ historical accuracy,” the racist backlash to the casting in Nolan’s Odyssey is about the right wanting to justify racial hierarchy by projecting it into a past where it did not actually exist. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Elon Musk is horrifically dishonest here. He says zero people died because of his decimation of USAID and there was no harm done because the Gates Foundation and MacKenzie Scott had loads of money they could have used to replace the US funds—and if they didn't, they are to blame. Such rubbish.

Döpfner and Bari’s Toast to Thiel

By awarding MAGA billionaire Peter Thiel its highest-profile honor, Axel Springer is providing one of the clearest signals yet of the publisher’s rightward evolution under Mathias Döpfner.

woahhhh have you ever had all the meetings on your most meeting-heavy day get canceled but not for anything bad? 10/10

men are clearly not conditioned to doubt their intelligence and it shows. I don't know that it would be helpful for *everyone* to have the same "is this dumb? it's probably dumb" censor that most women i know have in their heads, but damn a little bit of it might be nice.

Not that I want to defend Springer, but the rule explicitly states that criticism of the Israeli government is allowed, whatever that means in practice …

If the U.S. will not address climate change or manage its oil companies, states are going to have to take actions on their own to protect their people.

"If Canada will not manage its forests to prevent these fires, the United States will look elsewhere, and act on our own, to protect our people,” said a group of U.S. lawmakers. globalnews.ca/news/1196860...

I wonder, if you polled people, how much extra they would pay each year to have their city *not* be covered in thick, choking wildfire smoke for days at a time. I wonder if that might give you more insight into "willingness to pay" vis a vis climate change than asking in the abstract.

is this genuinely the most who-do-you-hate-less game ever for everyone but england and argentina fans or do I just have a very curated algorithm?

The famous "Wedges" paper was used repeatedly to shut us up when we argued against the continued use of fossil fuels, and, esp, against carbon capture and storage and the mass use of bioenergy. "But these eminent scientists say ..." Now we learn BP co-authored it. www.propublica.org/article/wedg...

How BP Execs Influenced a Climate Study That Shaped a Generation of Global Policy

BP sponsored an elite Princeton research center to address the climate problem without getting off fossil fuels. Its key work, a paper known as “Wedges,” guided climate discourse for a generation.

The craziest thing about this is that the supposed justification was that the men here raped a white woman. Meanwhile, the star of the film, Armie Hammer, was credibly accused of rape by his ex girlfriend, a white woman. The irony here is lost on the right.

This is a scene from "Citizen Vigilante," the film Elon Musk posted in full on his account. The main character goes around murdering Muslims and immigrants and collectively blaming them for crime.
