Really happy with how this one turned out. Like I say in the post, some of these scenarios would make for a great workplace comedy if this wasn't the stupidest timeline irl.

Viime kaudella syntyi giganttinen kohu, kun Marin vain mainitsi Hornetit keskustelussaan Zelenskyin kanssa. Nyt ministeri vaarantaa Suomen asemaa EUssa tilanteessa, jossa Suomi tarvitsee EUn tukea rajakysymyksissä, mutta ilmeisesti tämä on täysin ok.

Morning, here are your #BadNewsOfTheDay: 1. We live in the #pyrocene, where "Wildfires are entering tipping-point territory. 'Fuels and atmospheric conditions [are] crossing critical points the historical models simply didn’t need to represent." That sort of thing is part of climate #collapse.
Wildfires are entering tipping-point territory
Scientists need to update their models to understand how these extreme events start and spread

i think it's important for people to remember that puberty blockers *were* the "moderate, compromise" position.
Here's your #BadNewsOfTheDay, as usual with a focus on #climatecollapse. 1. "We need to be better prepared every year for a climate emergency that is surpassing every level that scientists have been warning us about." It's really happening: the climate is tipping, and we're watching in real time.

Der Angriff auf den #CSD in #Berlin war kein "Angriff auf die offene Gesellschaft", pace Söder. Es war ein Angriff auf queeres Leben, wie sie von rechten, queerfeindlichen und klerikalfaschistischen Kräften überall auf der Welt zunehmen - es war ein Teil des gesellschaftlichen #Kollaps. Ein 🧵
Tadzio Mueller@tadziomueller.bsky.social · last wk.#CSD in #Berlin, thanks for your concerns, me & mine are fine. By 7pm it was basically a hard hour rave, so my date and I headed home early. Me & mine are fine: #queer life is not. This is the world I've been shouting about for years, where clericofascists attempt to hunt queers to extinction.
The radicalised Elon Musk has gone so far as to now be promoting both the racist philosophy (only traitors oppose remigration) + violence (fight back or die: traitors before invaders) which saw Brevik massacre teenagers and students at a social democrats summer camp www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-e...
Here is a call for the murder of Home Office ministers + officials by the X user endorsed by the site owner Elon Musk.
"First the traitors then the invaders" is Elon Musk endorsing an open call to prioritise political murders + assassinations before violence against migrants and minorities. Still little recognition in the UK government at the persistence of the promotion of political violence - inc murder - by Musk

From the perspective of a cynical AI investor, the question isn't, "Can AI do your job?" The question is, "Can an AI salesman convince your boss that an AI can do your job?" 23/
I have previously written about one reason that billionaires find the AI story so compelling: at root, many billionaires just don't believe most other people are actually, fully real. How could they? Achieving billionairehood requires that you inflict pain on vast numbers of people. 13/
I can’t top a flaming sofa, but I did once get to experience a bunch of elderly nuns explaining the process of distilling weed into liquid for baked goods. one of them had a terminally ill brother who couldn’t get a medical marijuana prescription so they just taught themselves the art of edibles
BratKnits@bratknits.bsky.social · 2w agoMom was a lay teacher at my Catholic school and there were some wild lefty post VatII nuns there. I'm talking chain smoking, whiskey drinking, set our couch on fire at Christmas nuns. No TV Christmas special is better than watching a drunk nun try to put out a flaming sofa and take out the tree.
