@LexyCameron @iuculano No, it's that when I link over it makes me sign in. I AM signed in, so if I try to do that, it messes everything up.

But @markwyner gave me a fix.



Our Mastodon friend Geoffrey Deihl makes the necessary connection between: 1) politics as usual, 2) US government subsidies for the fossil fuel industry, and 3) an increasing level of killer storms like Helene and Milton.

do my individual choices make a difference. The fossil fuel industry would collapse if there was not a demand for their products.

Adding this to the thread from #HEATED newsletter. No, DeSantis alone didn’t cause Milton.

But YES! all the deny-and-delay politicians that the #OilyBoys have bought since the 1970s did & still do have a big hand in it. We knew enough in the 1970s to begin phasing out fossil fuels. We knew and #TheyKnew. #ClimateAction #ClimateActionNow @emorwee

TRAITOR TRUMP TRAINED!

Russia Grromed Trump For Four Decades To Be Useful!

The perfect target’: Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy

The KGB ‘played the game as if they were immensely impressed by his personality’, Yuri Shvets, a key source for a new book, tells the Guardian

That says Russia has been grooming Trump since back when it was the Soviet Union. What the hell did Leonid Brezhnev see in this turkey?😏

In 1962, hack-economist Milton Friedman penned a book that helped to wreck the world (and later elect Ronald Reagan). Today, hurricane Milton will live up to its namesake and be ruinous. Rest in pieces.


Gaza Strip in maps: How a year of war has drastically changed life in the territory


cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/26372640

Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at justifying Israel actions).

The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from 142). They're not even trying to look they're helping now. The population have been squeezed into over-populated tent cities.

It feels like they think if they create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don't get blamed.

To me, it's hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely sick.

Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?

Two men other than my father had dramatic impact on my life. Both of them were PE teachers, one in elementary school and one in high school.

I was awkward, uncoordinated, and a social outcast. I was always the last picked when teams were picked. My elementary school PE teacher solved this by making me the "captain" and I got to pick the teams.

My high school PE teacher, who won State championships and coached future NBA all-stars still had time to be my doubles partner when we were playing tennis.

Those two men were definitely my champions.

Reading your comment warmed my heart this rainy Wednesday evening. Thank you

In middle school I was bullied for being jewish by pretty much everyone. One day in the cafeteria the PE teacher we had at the time caught word of this and called me over to have a private conversation to tell me that what the other kids were doing wasn’t right and gave me some background on himself. It did make me feel better and after that moment the bullying didn’t affect me. A few years later he sadly passed away from heart complications, I’ll never forget the talk we had and that he had my back.

I think PE teachers often get a bad rap. I'm grateful that you got a good one also.



#SevenYearsAgoToday #AreYouBetterOff

October 9, 2017 – EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt told a crowd at the Kentucky Farm Bureau that he would like to remove all tax credits given to wind and solar energy. “I’d let them stand on their own and compete against coal and natural gas and other sources.”

The subsidies for renewable energy were meant to stimulate development and use of new energy technologies. Thus far, the subsidies have already had a measurable impact. Berkeley National Laboratory found that oil and coal that we avoided burning between 2007 and 2015 equated to saving between 3,000 and 12,500 premature deaths in eight years.

Beyond the health and environmental advantages of subsidizing new sources of energy, Pruitt also ignored the question of whether the oil and coal industries could ‘stand on their own’ without federal support. The fossil fuel industries have received about $20 billion dollars annually in federal tax subsidies.

First, Pruitt acts as if coal and gas never received tax credits.

Second, the EPA is supposed to protect the environment, not the fossil fuel industry.

Third, Pruitt is another sickness that Biden failed to cure.
