ive read a lot of books and essays about the attention economy and digital labour. but truly nothing makes the humiliation stick better than this tiktok skit recognising social media use as "volunteering for Big Tech"
I wrote about Chinese climate policy. And I said that Trump's gutting of US climate science and governance is a gift to China.
Why?
Because China has already enacted the most comprehensive climate policy in the world.
Yes, really.

Yep.
All of you Evangelicals, you absolute dingdongs, this is the god you're actually worshipping.
A literal golden statue of the antichrist erected in the new kingdom of Trump.
Wow. Rachel Maddow called out her network for four minutes tonight, noting not just how special Joy Reid is but also how MSNBC is cutting 2 anchors of color & hurting the people who make all the shows possible. This is courage. A true class act.
If you want climate action (which the majority of people want globally) then this thread has some useful videos that debunk human induced climate change denial. https://t.co/0fF9UUstqw
America is being left behind. Trump can try to scrub #ClimateChange from federal documents, but, sorry, climate change is actually real.
And in the coming decades our systems will either break down or the world will overthrow fossil capital and turn for the solutions to...China.
I can vote in the German elections. The AfD deny physics and deny the evidence for human induced climate impacts in favour of fossil fuel lobby group and kremlin disinfo. The AfD are a risk to democracy, society, health, the environment and future generations.
Richard Tice has been spreading misinformation used by fossil fuel lobby groups to attack climate action. His party has fossil fuel linked donors. He attacks renewables and electric vehicles but apparently uses both. This video debunks the claims. Sources in next tweet.
.@JDVance, you lied to the world in Munich.
If this administration believed in free speech as you claimed, its leaders wouldn’t be threatening members of Congress with criminal investigations for educating the public of their Constitutional rights.
Look in the mirror.
So we're down to $6.5B in savings, and an alarming trend emerges: @DOGE does not seem to understand how the government contracts they are canceling work. The savings they are claiming are not annual savings, but rather hypothetical savings if we spent every unobligated penny.

A new paper from Drew Shindell & @JoeriRogelj shows that using carbon dioxide removal for anything other than "hard to abate" emissions & overshoot would make achieving net-zero emissions impossible.
There can be no "decarbonizing oil" with direct air capture, in other words.
I had a feeling this was coming so I tried to cancel my AirBnB account a few weeks ago and ... @Airbnb wouldn't let me.
They said they needed to review my request and I never heard from them again.
