Environmental sociology student. You cannot study the way human social structures dominate nature without studying the ways they also dominate humans.

I downgraded my social anxiety from "crippling" to "extreme" so y'all motherfuckers best watch out. I'm willing to engage in (anonymous) online interactions now.

New article provides a detailed analysis of the TESCREAL acronym--specifically written for skeptics. Please read and share widely. You simply cannot make sense of what's happening in Silicon Valley, including the ASI race, without some understanding of the TESCREAL worldview!

Lolololololol.

ABRUPT CHANGE WORSE THAN THOUGHT: we're seeing more and more abrupt change processes (massive Amazon droughts, heatwaves in Siberia with permafrost frozen ground collapsing) which when measured reveal very big, dangerous carbon losses, but in the IPCC models, they don’t exist..

The July, 2026 Nino 3.4 anomaly plume was just posted by ECMWF, and it shows a mean peak anomaly of about 3.9°C above the 1991-2020 baseline.

Cette animation est saisissante. Elle montre, en seulement quelques secondes, l'accélération spectaculaire de la fréquence des vagues de chaleur au cours des 126 dernières années en France.

Au cours des 10 dernières années (2017–2026), la France a connu 18 vagues de chaleur. À titre de comparaison, le siècle dernier en comptait en moyenne seulement 3 par décennie.

En un siècle, la fréquence des vagues de chaleur a donc été multipliée par 6. Et la nouvelle se prépare déjà pour la semaine prochaine !

TIME TO EDIT WIKIPEDIA: the IPBES has confirmed the scientific consensus is that it's colonialism, capitalism, slavery, modernity, and growth-driven economies that wreck biodiversity

Paris, the capital of France, has recorded more days above 40°C this week than during the 147-year period spanning from 1872 to 2019.

Historic is an understatement.

I’ve recently been on multiple outings where a man has tried to neg me for being a writer by saying “Nobody reads anymore,” only to get offended when I say “No, it’s that you don’t read”

The Nino index (Nino3.4) has just reached Nino-neutral, but global SST (sea surface temperature) has matched the highest level for this date, which was achieved during the last El Nino.
Super warming is clear. Look for a global temperature soon of at least +1.7C, even if the "Super" El Nino turns out to be half-baked.

The University of Maine Climate Change Institute has a spectacular interactive graphic that they update daily. It is a valuable research and communications tool.

Not the thousands of movies glorifying mass murder, torture, and war for profit. Not ones glorifying corporate execs duping us into a surveillance state. Not even the millions of bank heist movies.

But I Love Boosters is "the most socially corrosive" film.
OK!

I saw 85 kids killed in an elementary school with my tax dollars today. If you have a soul your conscience shouldn’t be clear no matter how you voted.

@SenSchumer nice tweet - hey what's this about?

This was so on the nose that I burst into laughter

Is he still a believer in economics? Because at 8 it’s marginal

A university student wrote a middle school level essay just to bait her trans professor into correctly failing her so she could retaliate and ruin her teaching career… and it worked.

Absolutely shameful.

The latest US literacy stats have just dropped and they are every bit as grim as you might imagine.

"Approximately 50% of Americans read so poorly that they are unable to perform simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labels"

@spaceghost Oh damn

[Modern Rome in Freefall 🇵🇸 @ljmontello]

I dunno, but with how many experts expressing concern about our power grid's readiness and ability to handle power demands of modern society, I would think there should be other priorities before restarting Three Mile Island strictly to power ChatGPT & other forms of plagarism.
