Journalists regularly describing genocide supporters as “moderates” is how neofascism wins.

A first year above 2C in the mid-2030s now looks plausible. 0.5C was first passed in 1980, 1.0C in 2010 and 1.5C in 2024. The 15-year trend runs at 0.42C per decade. The 2026 and 2027 points for the current El Nino are estimates. We're not remotely ready!

Every central banker on earth knows this to be true, but Canada’s central banker is too much of a coward to admit it because his egomaniacal finance bro boss has spent his life cosplaying as an economist.

ECB official warns climate crisis poses growing threat to ‘core financial stability’

AlphaFold was always bait-and-switch; now Google confirms it. A hyper-narrow bioinformatrics model with actual science bolted on whose guesses can be experimentally checked was never a licence for socially-applied slop at scale, but it's done its job. Effort transferred to LLMs.

crucial piece from always brilliant @reproutopia.bsky.social "Sexual violence, in other words, is not incidental to the colonial project. It is its grammar."

A U.S. government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a State Department presentation at ‌a global conference taking place in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attendees who took screenshots and posted them online.

My piece contextualizes and analyzes the reality of a de facto Israeli policy of sexual torture, which has long been documented and substantiated by human rights groups monitoring anti-Palestinian violence, e.g. the Palestinian Feminist Collective, author of the recent report "A Predatory State."

A teenager was struck and killed by an SUV while riding his bike in Lower Manhattan today and the comments in the local press stories are unhinged. People rushing to blame the CHILD for riding a bike, not the person driving an SUV on inner city streets. People have lost their damn minds.

James Carville is attacking progressives and democratic socialists who won Democratic primaries, earning appearances on Fox News and Newsmax. He hasn't mentioned: he was an advisor to a Democratic lobbying and PR firm paid over half a million dollars by the crypto industry.

PwC (like, among others, KPMG before it) found to be producing 'thought leadership' advice promoting agentic AI use that is larded with AI hallucinations. Worth bearing in mind if they are, for example, one of your university's consultants.

If you are quote-posting a story you don’t like from an outlet that constantly provokes you…you are executing their marketing strategy.

Tobi Lutke is a white- supremacist oligarch and mouth-breathing cretin who wants to bring the poll tax back. He funds great replacement agitprop spewed by liars and hacks at his Juno News and True North. Wake tf up Canada.

That orange sack of shit is many things, but complicated isn't one of them. He clearly respects retaliation first and negotiation second, which allows him to claim victory. Somehow clueless Carney – quickly establishing himself as the worst PM in history – fails to grasp something so obvious?
