“Civilization is in a race between education and catastrophe. Let us learn the truth and spread it as far and wide as our circumstances allow. For the truth is the greatest weapon we have.” — H. G. Wells 🌱📷
This is a very 2026 map title. 👀 But it also illustrates importance of circumspection when considering potential failure modes that can interact and cause seemingly implausible cascading consequences in complex systems (such as record heat, jellyfish swarms, & power grids).

📣 Our new report finds that the Trump admin’s energy + AI “dominance” policies + hostility to renewables will make it even harder for working families to afford their energy bills. Thanks to Trump, the wholesale price of fossil gas could DOUBLE over the next decade, outpacing inflation every year.
RIP Louisa Gag, a transit planner who dedicated her career to making Boston’s streets safer for cyclists & pedestrians. She was killed while biking to work on July 9, 2026. Street safety improvements shouldn’t be delayed, watered down, or treated as a political inconvenience. Safe streets now!!

Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi” (1970) is a song about carbon opportunity cost
![[Verse 2]
They took all the trees, put 'em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half just to see 'em
[Chorus]
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone?

Sickening and un-American. Watch authoritarianism work.
Between this and proposed Roadless Rule revocation, this administration’s goal appears to be destruction of every scrap of wildlife habitat in America.
Maxine Joselow@maxinejoselow.bsky.social · last mo.The Trump admin just changed the definition of "harm" to animals under the Endangered Species Act, in what environmentalists called the biggest erosion of protections for wildlife in 50 years. @nytimes.com gift link to the story w/ @catrineinhorn.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/c...
Here’s the problem: we can no longer believe the government when it makes these kinds of statements after its agents kill someone. That’s a very dangerous place for a democracy to be. Read the full analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
My gosh. Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians. Then today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — a group that also organized Gaza screenings of the FIFA matches.
We're so screwed. Unprecedented, record-smashing, norm-ending El Nino. Deviation of 3.5°. For maximum fear, Google 'methane calthrates'.
The definition of a true fan: You’d rather see your team lose fairly than win unfairly.
Happy july 4 if you are not drowning . Solidarity with working families, immigrants, creative people, everyone fighting data centers, climate activists, indigenous organizers, indivisibles, lawyers and judges holding on to democracy and get out the voters.
Instead of asking for people to not use their AC in the heatwave, how about turning off the data centers instead?
