🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
"Health losses attributed to anthropogenic climate change," a brief communication in the journal Nature Climate Change. There's a map showing regions of the world, and pie charts of relevant studies as they apply to different health impacts like "heat-related deaths" and "maternal and child health"

Online poisoned leftists start podcasts, online poisoned right wing men buy a gun. Easy to forget this! But important to remember!

To be fair I think the explanation of the fallacy is pretty obvious - we forgot that being extremely online makes us less active in real life, whereas it has the reverse effect on the right - and I think he knows that but it’s easy to forget even now! “Online is real” is more true in 2025 than ever

Posted to the Southern Reach Reddit...
Southern Reach told me Area X keep eatinh his expeditions so I asked how many expeditions he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new expeditions afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding expeditions to Area X and then his daughter started crying. (adapting a tweet about coyotes eating cats)

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.
Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

it's honestly so funny to end up in this situation. the school that invented the modern financial model of the sports university, and let a student die at spring weekend, doesn't "care" about anti black racism. but this is sort of a hard to reverse performative gesture once you do it! oops!

UConn may rescind Anti-Black Racism course requirement due to Trump administration: 'Slippery slope'

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

This will go absolutely nowhere, but, I'm glad they're asking it, and I hope it gets coverage as part of DeSantis's ugly bloodlust execution spree.

If Florida kills Samuel Smithers next week, it will be the state's 14th execution this year — nearly 3 times more than the 5 carried out in Texas.
In the Supreme Court of the United States SAMUEL LEE SMITHERS, JR., Petitioner, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Respondent. ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI CAPITAL CASE DEATH WARRANT SIGNED Execution Scheduled: October 14, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. ET CAPITAL CASE QUESTION PRESENTED 1. Does the execution of the elderly violate the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment based on the evolved standards of decency?

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

The reason you have a display name like "The Ass is the father of the legs" is when you make a good point and someone reposts it, they're also helping to spread an important message, which is that the ass is the father of the legs
