So global warming. We are at the point where the 1.5° mark can only be reached if we cut everything now. Sadly we have wars, the USA pushing in the opposite direction and Germany is pushing Gas and Military. Despite all of this, there is still progress and EVs sell better each year.

Global warming will breach 1.5°C – but deep, fast cuts can still bring it back

With global temperature rise set to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, countries “must pull out all the stops” and urgently cut emissions to minimize the overshoot and return to the internation...

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

⚡️ "Give us Starlink, open it for us on Russian territory, and we will destroy his ballistic missile launchers," Zelenskyy stressed that stopping Russian ballistic launches would force Vladimir Putin to negotiate, rendering further energy strikes unnecessary.

Talking about the push to livestream an execution, a guy on MSNOW said: "This is not who we are." But this is *exactly* who we are right now. If you don't want to be this, vote against all Republicans and ask your family and friends to do the same.

The world has exactly one path available to make the rapid changes that the climate crisis requires, and that path is sun, wind, and batteries. They are available right now, in scale, at affordable price. Bill McKibben, Here Comes The Sun #ClimateCrisis

Or just build data centers that produce a surplus of renewable energy, don't drain the public water supply and don't pollute the environment. They have more than enough capital to build these responsibly and set a new standard for the industry. They just are choosing not to.

Tech oligarchs could really set the example for the common folk by simply building their mansions right next to their data centers and then live in them with their families.

I’m watching a documentary on World War II. The Nazi higher-ups were still praising Hitler’s genius while the Russians were only 12 miles from the city center of Berlin. Just like the Republicans still loyal to Trump as the party goes under.

God already built a wall through Big Bend — it's called the Chisos Mountains. We don't need to give billions of our tax dollars to out of state vendors. We don't need to desecrate this sacred land. We don't need this useless, disgraceful, corrupt Big Bend border wall.
