Big Oil is "wildly desperate to dodge the growing array of lawsuits over the damage caused by their decades-long scheme to deceive the public about climate change," writes @aaronregunberg.bsky.social.

The fossil fuel industry is again urging the Supreme Court to help them escape accountability.
The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children?

It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later. The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point.

There is a good reason why Mark Kelly warned service members not to carry out illegal orders. That seems to be precisely what the military is now doing at the behest of an administration that disdains any limits on the president’s imperial authority and treats war crimes as a joke. wapo.st/49LrEvh
Opinion | No wonder Trump is outraged by warnings about illegal orders
There’s a reason lawmakers worry about the military being told to ignore the law.

Regulators need to investigate and hold accountable Epstein’s enablers – and I’ll believe they’re taking action when I see it.

Americans deserve to know that their banking system isn’t facilitating the disturbing crimes of the rich and powerful.

In a pilot study, A.I.was able to accurately predict the type of coda, the whale’s vocal clan and the individual whale with over 90% accuracy.
... it might be possible to use A.I. to find patterns within the vocal data and eventually translate what whales were saying to one another.
