@David90shaw If only they were true! Brexit is the greatest self harm a nation has ever done other than the idiots who voted for the orange toddler south of Canada.

For the love of all that is good can we please just stop all the bullshit, start the process of rejoining the EU, tell the right wingers & Trump sycophants to go fuck themselves, put the last decade of clusterfucks behind us, & start to improve people’s lives & finance again.

[Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki @MatthewWielicki]

As a former academic, it is physically painful to watch the "Gold Standard" of scientific publishing turn into a rubber-stamp factory for narrative-driven garbage. A recent paper published by Springer Nature on CO2 "toxicity" is the perfect case study in why institutional science is losing all credibility.

The paper claims that rising atmospheric CO2 is on the verge of poisoning human blood and causing a "toxic threat" within decades. It sounds scary... until you apply five minutes of basic biological and historical literacy.

1. The Evolutionary Reality Check
Mammals evolved roughly 225 million years ago. During that era, atmospheric CO2 wasn't just "high"—it was astronomical, estimated at 2,000 to 4,000 ppm. That is nearly 10X higher than current levels. If the human (mammalian) blood-gas exchange system were as fragile as these authors claim, our entire lineage would have been extinguished in the Triassic. We are the descendants of organisms that thrived in high CO2.

2. The Military "Living Laboratory"
We don't have to guess how humans react to high CO2. The U.S. Navy and NASA have decades of data. Submariners routinely live and work in environments with CO2 levels maintained between 2,000 and 5,000 ppm for months at a time. If the "science" in this paper were remotely accurate, every nuclear sub crew in history would have been neurologically incapacitated. They aren't. They perform highly complex technical tasks at CO2 levels the authors of this paper would find "apocalyptic."

3. The Peer Review Scandal
How does a paper that ignores the fossil record and existing physiological data get past the "gatekeepers"?

When "Science" ignores the laws of biology and decades of human data to push a scary headline, it is no longer science... it is ideology. This is why the public is tuning out. When you trade your intellectual honesty for a "fashionable" conclusion, you don't just lose the argument; you lose the trust of the people.

The "reproducibility crisis" was just the beginning; we are now facing a full-blown crisis of basic competence. When prestigious publishers like Springer Nature swap rigorous physiological data for "fashionable" alarmism, they aren't just publishing bad papers... they are actively dismantling the public's trust in the scientific method itself.

Academia is burning its own house down, and until there is a reckoning with this institutional rot, nobody should blame the public for looking elsewhere for the truth.

I seem to have upset the @SuellaBraverman fan club - so let me be clear.

This women sows hate, lies and division. She is wrong.

She does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

I made the error of tuning in to watch Trump join the White House Press Briefing today. Two full hours later, I emerged mentally battered, trying to blink away the haze of rage, shame, and sorrow at what we’ve allowed to happen to America.

For a full 90 minutes, before taking questions, Trump mumble-slurped his way through stacks of regime propaganda, and a massive list of his “accomplishments” which had been prepared in advance for his one year anniversary. When he was bored with something he’d been given, he would just throw it on the ground for one of his handmaidens to pick up.

He seemed remarkably oblivious to the catastrophe he has set in motion with his attempt to steal Greenland from a NATO ally—and to his own incoherence. In between fits of verbal incontinence, more crying about his long-lost Nobel, and spewing vile racism, he was incredibly boring. He would just stand there for long stretches, sort of staring blankly at the papers he was given.

By now he’s on Air Force One, traveling to give a speech at Davos about “affordability”—which I’m sure will be perfectly normal and cool and not at all a humiliating, historic disaster.

In the meantime, some Democrats are negotiating with Republicans on more funding for ICE—despite the continuous stream of reporting of constitutional violations, citizens being arrested, detained and harassed—and protests being violently suppressed in Minneapolis.

This is unacceptable. Everything is on the table now. The enemy has shown their cards. The die is cast. Pick your metaphor.

There is no more negotiating. The majority find ourselves under attack by a deviant cult that wants permanent power over half the planet, and is willing to destroy the existing world order to get it. If you’re still playing politics in this scenario, you don’t get to be on the team anymore. Sorry.

American citizens should primary every Democrat that voted for a Trump nominee, still talks about “bipartisanship,” took money from AIPAC, is unable to say “Abolish ICE”—or promotes AI, crypto, or fucking “abundance.” They need to pick a side or get out.

The time for appeasing, compromising, or negotiating with Republicans and oligarchs is over. The tolerance for ignorance about the techno-fascist threat must be zero. Politics and institutional democracy has been rendered inoperable. Everything is on the table now.

America is a failed state and Democrats let it happen. They must either offer something different than what got us here, or get out of the way.

Prosecute everyone who committed crimes in the Trump regime. Abolish DHS. Shut down the GOP. Tax billionaires out of existence. Clean out SCOTUS and rebuild it. Nationalize social media and AI. Deliver actual universal health care. Cut the military budget in half. Save the planet.

Timidity, incrementalism, and compromise are cancer in this environment. The enemy has jailbroken America, hacked its operating system, and turned it into an attack zombie against its own people and allies. With a lot of effort and sacrifice, we may get one more chance to swing the pendulum back—and if we do, it needs to swing back very, very hard.

It’s not the same America anymore. Everything is on the table now. It’s time for everyone who claims to care—to act like it.
