Re-upping this on the news of Dick Cheney's death. A man whose life work will go down in the fossil record.
"every time you hear a piece of good news about the explosive growth of clean energy, it’s worth remembering that the benchmark in question likely could have been met in 2005, rather than 2025, if not for Big Oil’s climate deception"

Big Oil’s Three-Decade Plot to Kill America’s Clean Energy Revolution
In 1988, the U.S. was in prime position to dominate the industry for decades to come. But thanks to fossil fuel giants, China is instead the world’s superpower in renewables.

Gonna pass this on, cuz it's done wonders for my time management: I found this guide to setting up a habit tracker in Google Sheets, aid it's pretty great.

Mine rewards me with a little 🥳 emoji if I get 80% or more of my habits ticked in a day.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/
To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

I fundamentally disagree with its existence. It's a net negative. It makes the world a worse place, measurably. There is no "ethical" use of generative AI.

I'd say autoblocking AI slop peddlers is all the conversation I need to have with them. Makes my opinion pretty fucking clear. If they're not listening to that extremely definitive action, oh well.

Some things aren't negotiable, my guy.

"Do not fucking talk to me, ever" is all I want to say.
Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform.

Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.

Here’s @realgdt.bsky.social in NYC expanding on his rallying cry of ‘fuck AI!’, talking about how art and even love come from shared pain and movies can save your life. This shit made me and others in the audience cry as much as his version of Frankenstein…

The man done done it again!
For thirty days I’m going to do a spin-off comic called “Legend of the Moe-Man”. It’s a direct continuation of Moe’s role in “Legend of the Mole-Man”. Hope that’s not too confusing. Please enjoy!

“Legend of the Moe-Man”, Panel 001

This entire "the Dems need to abandon identity and focus on economics!" discourse is being driven by rich assholes who would melt down at the slightest hint of higher taxes on the wealthy or more welfare for the poor. Look how they're treating Mamdani! It's cynical bullshit all the way down.

Ichabod's flight from the Headless Horseman is one of the high water marks in Disney animation, from direction to sound design, it all comes together in an incredible mood...

The only way to truly feel better is to help others directly, and it feels like the real function of our society is to make us forget that.
