[email protected] on why BIRTH OF A NATION was successful in its odious message—because it *is* accomplished dramatically & artistically—has got me thinking about how there is no Griffith or Riefenstahl of the MAGA movement. Instead, they've outsourced their propaganda to AI and it sucks lol
The Birth of a Nation (D.W. Griffith, 1915)
Or, form vs. content on the occasion of America's semiquincentennial.

PSE sent us a ranking of the most efficient homes in our area and where our household falls and this is brilliant because I am competitive and now want to defeat all my neighbors. It’s like Strava’s Local Legend but for turning on your heat.

Here's @jeva.bsky.social and @zeitlin.bsky.social with your grid forecast for the next couple weeks:

The Grid Survived The Storm. Now Comes The Cold.
With historic lows projected for the next two weeks — and more snow potentially on the way — the big strain may be yet to come.

Don't know what happened, but in the last 12 hours, my FB feed has been flooded with right-wing engagement bait ("reply 'Amen' if you believe Jesus has saved your life," feel-good police department posts, Newsmax, "I don't care if I offend the libs" x-posts from Twitter, weirder-than-normal AI slop)

Climate Change Won’t Make Winter Storms Less Deadly
In some ways, fossil fuels make snowstorms like the one currently bearing down on the U.S. even more dangerous.

The Ground Truth
Government-issued maps are a public trust, a promise to help us explore America’s public lands safely. Yet they no longer reflect the reality of our nation’s trails.

The U.S. oil takeover in Venezuela is bad for the planet, of course. But we don’t know exactly the ways in which it’ll be bad for *Venezuela* because the region is yet another blind spot for science in the Global South. heatmap.news/climate/vene...
Venezuela’s Oil Is Only Part of Its Climate Story
The country is already suffering the effects of climate change. A lack of data makes it that much more difficult to adapt.

Jeva! Thank you so much for including NIGHTFARING on your list of anticipated environment books this year. I am honored and delighted to be included among a really wonderful list. Lots to put on my own reading list...🌌
Because I didn't do a list of 2026 books with climate, environment, and ecology themes for @heatmap.news this year (maternity leave!) — but I still want to TALK ABOUT THEM — I'm going to post my most-anticipated list here! Please let me know what I'm missing!

Great reporting by @jeva.bsky.social that, along the way, illustrates how the language of abundance gets used to launder inequity, danger, and the vicious irony of externalized costs. Less energy-efficient buildings aren't cheaper - they just shift costs onto residents.

I was talking with a journalist in Venezuela this morning and I thanked him for helping connect me with sources in the country and he said, “That’s what we do: we help each other.”
Yes.
