The “school shooting industry” is one of the most depressing terms I’ve ever heard.https://n.pr/42gMe1N

I went to the American embassy today to get a passport card that I could carry in my wallet to show my citizenship in case masked men try to kidnap me when I’m in the US. Seriously.

@davidho no!

I have an old bike jersey whose zipper needs repair. The quote for the repair is more than the cost of a new jersey, but I'm going to repair it because I want to live in a world where we repair things.

The problem with conspiracy theorists is that they don’t care about facts. It’s fine for society when it’s just your reclusive crazy relatives who you see once a year at Thanksgiving, but it’s extremely dangerous when you put them in charge of millions of people’s lives.https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/rfk-jr-hhs-to-link-autism-to-tylenol-use-in-pregnancy-and-folate-deficiencies-e3acbb4c?st=dRW4Ub&reflink=article_copyURL_share

The amount of carbon that forests can take up is much lower than previous estimates. If we don't reduce CO₂ emissions rapidly, we can say goodbye to the Paris climate targets forever.https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adj6841

Early climate models by Suki Manabe of NOAA/GFDL in the 1960s and 1970s provided a foundation for modern climate science. They accurately predicted several key aspects of global warming, including the relationship to CO₂, stratospheric cooling, Arctic amplification, land-ocean temperature contrast, and delayed Southern Ocean warming.https://theconversation.com/5-forecasts-early-climate-models-got-right-the-evidence-is-all-around-you-263248

Whether we aim to reduce atmospheric CO₂ by carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) or CO₂ removal (CDR), we must store the carbon somewhere durably. This new study shows that global geologic carbon storage capacity is 10 times less than previous estimates. Not good.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09423-y
