Everything's fucked up. Do something radical today.

I suspect many would call themselves social Democrats, like me

They can say summers have always been hot and we’ve always had wildfires and they can tell themselves all day that everything is the same as it always was but you know better They can gaslight themselves but not you. #ExtremeHeat #Wildfires #Smoke #ClimateChange #abpoli #cdnpoli

As an economics major, I learned the pros and cons of capitalism and socialism. Over the years the pros of socialism and the cons of capitalism have increased dramatically. In this day and age,

Japanese engineers develop a technique to recover and recycle 90% of Lithium from old EV batteries.

Scientists recover 90% of lithium from old batteries — here's why it matters

A metals plant in Tsuruga of the Fukui Prefecture has positioned itself as a major player in the battery recycling industry by achieving near-record levels of lithium recovery.

You think GDP is bad. Wait until you hear about health care, the fires, floods, drought, Iran. and thousands of people dying

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”

How Paris beat the car

Though chaotic, the city’s transition has become a global role model

tRump knows he is near death. His behavior and policies make sense if one realizes he wants to take as many people as possible with him.

The President of the United States is a liar.

We can't ride our bikes on the sidewalks or even our Riverwalk downtown. We can ride on the street but then we would die. Get bigger sidewalks.

WTI oil futures just went vertical. Anyone know what's up?

Much of the world which imported oil through the strait are taking actions to cut their dependence on the strait. This is a win and could be a bigger win but tRump can't and won't see this because he is beholden to oil companies and those countries who ship oil. Getting off oil cuts the tie that

Bypass the noise and demand structural competence. Reject off-balance-sheet war spending that drives inflation, demand agricultural supply chain protection, and fast-track renewable energy. Stop bandaids and demand long-term accountability. #Accountability #Leadership #Policy

I want to beat the GOP, obviously, but I am worried about the priorities of the Democrats.

Remember this every time someone ridiculously claims that we “can’t afford to address #ClimateChange.” We can’t afford to NOT address it. #ClimateCrisis

In south-western France, the largest forced displacement of people since the Second World War; thousands of hectares ravaged by flames; fire storms (pyrocumulonimbus clouds); the fire closing of Bordeaux; a tragedy that has been looming for years due to inaction in the face of the climate threat 😱

Watching MSNOW and all they talk about is the horse race for an election 100 days from now. I wonder how hot it is outside where they live and whether or not they have looked at a fire map recently. The whole west is on fire. Isn't that important?

Caring about the physical environment and the ongoing destruction of human, animal, and vegetable life from climate heating, is a prerequisite for future life on the planet. That seems like it should be a priority. But I get the sense it is not.

Melon said he got a bit carried away when he was leading the disaster know as DOGE. Being carried away is drinking a bit too much at a wedding reception, not responsibility for the deaths of thousands a people. A Democratic President should terminate all of his contracts.

WHCD WTF?

I normally ride my recumbent etrike around our Lake Estes to my destination, which is usually pickleball. People, who are mostly pedestrians, smile and wave. People thank me for ringing my bell and saying "on your left". This usually starts and brightens my day. Try that in a car or truck.

someone sounding mighty presidential

Get out now!! Forget about the strait. There are alternatives.

As Trump readies another disastrous escalation, I am going to Senate floor at 11am today to lay out the case to end this war now. Tune in.

Don't allow utilities to provide electricity to data centers.

No more tax credits, no more carrots, need a government that'll just ban nonsense manufacturing of gas cars

My probably unpopular opinion is that higher gas prices are a good thing. It's an opportunity or an incentive to reduce or eliminate gas use.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets

Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

While it may not be necessary to end capitalism, it should be shrunken so it can be drowned in the bath water if need be. But that is what is being done to government services and protections. The government has been refashioned to mainly serve the plutocrats.
