This is insane. The Taiwanese government is paying farmers to NOT grow rice because they need the water for AI chip manufacturing instead. We're prioritizing AI over feeding people during a drought.

TBH, this seems worse than having the road blocked by climate activists for a few minutes, much less talk about doing so on a Zoom call.

Big Oil is asking the Supreme Court to block climate change lawsuits.

Right now dozens of major lawsuits are trying to hold the fossil fuel industry liable for billions in climate damages.

But oil execs are asking the Court to "put a stop" to them.

“These crackdowns seldom pass the test of history. But this history of suppression is bound to repeat itself until we acknowledge that this is who we are.” @RTDMPW

Another brilliant piece.

some things we learned during the george floyd protests that you should know if you’re attending a protest—a thread 🧵:

[Josh Ellis @jzellis]

People keep asking me how to prevent the water stuff in the US West or other climate collapse issues. Folks, I have no idea. I've thought about it from every angle I could think of for years and I don't see a way to prevent disaster. I do have some thoughts about survival though.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Celebrity award shows are integral to upholding structural oppression. I recognize it more now than I did in the past.

It’s felt particularly Hunger Games-y this year so I think that’s why.

But the shows themselves really serve to normalize & reinforce structural oppression 1/

The median US rent is $1967. Which means the median US hourly pay which would be considered livable (1/3 of rent) should be $35.40

The current US median hourly pay is… $17.02

Society will never be “okay” until this is fixed. It’ll always feel like a bad economy because of this

Jaguars are native to what is now called the U.S. Southwest. They are returning.

This should be supported and celebrated.

A special project we finally had a chance to write about. Lots of photos and details inside.

People have been so gaslighted and brainwashed by governments, corporations and the mainstream media, that even many supposed activists, mistakenly think the obstacle, is getting people, the public to accept climate action. This whole narrative is false.

Batteries are currently going through a massive domino effect of adoption certain to phaseout 50% of global fossil fuel demand by 2040 at the latest. Because: economics

We are witnessing, live, the end of the age of oil (that's why Big Oil hijacked the UN climate talks)
