Oh yes, I forgot about this poll. The real speaker of the quote is actually Chris Wright, Trump’s climate denier Secretary of Energy. But those of you who thought it sounded like @mattyglesias, you were not off base — it totally sounds like something he would say lol

meanwhile the atmospheric concentration of CO2 surged by 3.5 ppm between 2023 and 2024 (it had been rising roughly 2.4 ppm per year in the decade from 2011 to 2020) this means global heating is accelerating and we need to get off fossil fuels right now
CHART OF THE DAY: The coming North American LNG wave, with combined export capacity from the US, Canada and Mexico **doubling** from now to 2029. The North American expansion will account for 50% of global LNG export capacity growth. More via @EIAgov: https://t.co/SD9txHyyM5

Increasingly, AI reminds me of the Lotus-Eater island in the Odyssey. It offers all manner of pleasures and the prospect of never having to work or think again. But the Lotus-Eaters became indolent vestiges of their former selves. We must heed the warnings of the old tales.
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have

That said, the @WMO report is about something much more terrifying than just our continued use of fossil fuels. The report finds that the *rate* of CO2 growth in the atmosphere has tripled (tripled!) since the 1960s, which means planetary feedbacks are likely kicking in.

This is why "all of the above" energy is not a climate solution. Record amounts of clean energy were built in 2024, but since we're still building out fossil fuels—indeed, since we're just *using* fossil fuels—the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is still going up, cooking us.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

The Trump regime is pushing coal, but refusing to enforce a Biden-era rule that would prevent more than 3,700 cases of Black Lung, which gives coal miners a slow, suffocating death. But Trump doesn't give one thought to coal miners. He's for fossil capital, not for Americans.

Every blue-state legislature could do this literally right now.
This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time. There's a clear a way to end Citizens United by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.
