China's net greenhouse gas emissions *fell* this past quarter. Why? Because rapidly expanding electric vehicle use is putting a serious dent in oil demand. We could do that too. But we're not. We have the slowest EV update in the developed world, thanks to Trump.

Sonita Muluh (black Belgian woman) was sabotaged by a white spotter who admitted he did it on purpose because “I’m a racist” and “I hate you, pieces of shit”. She was going to try and break the world record and he made sure she couldn’t. She came in 2nd and was denied a repeat.

I saw this video of a Black woman, a weightlifter, in Belgium? And she was going for some sort of lifting record. one of the spotters, a white man, put his knee in the way & prevented her from going all the way down. Somebody posted about it on insta and the guy responded that he did it on purpose..

This is a perfect illustration of why I have no faith in US mainstream journalism to protect us from anything.🤷🏿‍♂️ This is their idea of holding some people accountable: going to their banquets and causing fleeting, awkward moments, seconds before accepting an award from them and shaking their hand.

I’ve been reading Narnia to my 4yo lately and today he asked to watch LotR, which he is not ready for, so I found the Narnia movie. Now I’m looking at Mr Tumnus like, why is this fool wearing a scarf and not anything else? He is clearly cold. It is winter. He knows what clothes are. I am annoyed.
