"But as with so many of the nice things periodically enabled by the internet, we’re not even allowed that for long: late on Wednesday, the White House shared a meme showing Jimothy wearing a Maga cap. This is why we can’t have nice things." Trump and his magats ruin everything.

Do you still use a gas stove? Why? "...if your household members have asthma, replacing your gas stove with an electric-induction model cuts missed days of school or work due to the condition by something like 80 percent."

the biggest El Nino in history is coming according to forecasters, and it's likely going to drive global temps up past 2 degrees C prospect.org/2026/07/28/c...

Center for Climate Integrity report: "The gas industry knew as early as 1907 that natural gas was a source of respiratory problems when burned indoors," and in the 1960s "they also learned that it was a potent greenhouse gas and damaging for the climate." Still want your gas stove?

Mother Jones@motherjones.com · last wk.

About half of Americans think natural gas—a methane-based, planet-warming fuel—is a “clean” energy source, according to a recent poll. And a long-running fossil fuel industry marketing campaign might be to blame.

We are responsible for so much of this.
