Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

This post is addressed to future generations for historical record:

Every pundit, politician and reporter of our time who claims they didn't know what was happening in Gaza is lying.

They knew what was happening. They knew Israel was telling lies. They knew about everything.

They had access to the same information as all the rest of us. We watched them make excuses and ignore indisputable facts every step of the way. There was absolutely no confusion about what they were looking at. It was all right out in the open.

Don't let them get away with saying they didn't know. They knew. They knew the entire time. Brand them permanently with this shame, and force them to carry it with them for the rest of their lives.

🧵 I've put together this thread to show just how much flooding has happened around the world, and this is only for the month of September—and it's not even over yet! Please share this because I don't think the message is getting out there.

@hools @GlobalEcoGuy Lol, let's stop trillion dollar subsidies to fossil fuels, and then talk about the free market

No joke: the son of Alexander Zakharov, mastermind of Russia's killer drones that attack civilians in Ukraine, is now interning at the U.N.'s disarmament institute. UNIDIR says he was selected through a "competitive and transparent recruitment process...on the basis of his qualifications, skills and experience for the position." Today's Tribune de Genève: https://t.co/EQKYmiCpKP

The drone unit is part of the Kalashnikov group now under Western sanctions, including in Switzerland.

@tdgch: "The presence of Zakharov's son in Geneva implies that Switzerland issued him with a visa, which is compulsory for Russian nationals wishing to enter and stay in the country. When questioned, the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration would not comment on the case. Alexander Zakharov's son did not respond to our messages."

Former Russian diplomat Boris Bondarev, who defected last year because of the war in Ukraine, notes that the conflict has made it harder for Russians to get hired in the UN system. "Since Zakharov's son got the job during the war, we can assume that there was some form of assistance from his government to get it," he comments. We can only speculate, of course, but I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case."

Breaking News!

As of July 22, Antarctic sea ice extent is now six standard deviations below the 1991-2020 mean.

To put this in perspective, without a changing climate the odds of this would be about 1-in-1 billion.

If you receive the news that dramatic spikes in ocean temperatures aren’t much of a concern, maybe even pleasant for swimming in, then it’s time to think again…
