A reminder that what we need is an end to the genocide, not the hollow gesture of recognizing a state that doesn't exist. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250921-amn...
Amnesty International: Recognition of Palestinian state is a ‘hollow gesture’ without meaningful action to end genocide
Amnesty’s Crisis Response Manager, Kristyan Benedict, said on Sunday that: “Recognition is no doubt significant but will be a hollow gesture if the UK does not also seek to end Israel’s…

Jimmy Kimmel will be back on the air tomorrow night.

The fascist pricks who denied him the right to free speech— while defending rightwing hosts’ freedom to say far worse and inflammatory things daily— are choking on their miserable hypocrisy.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told a delegation of more than 200 U.S. lawmakers that Israel is akin to the “wife” of the United States. “Every time we have members of Congress come over here, I always say to them, ‘Guys, welcome to the 436th Congressional District of the United States.’”

70 years ago today, (Sept 22, 1955) a General Electric scientist warned about carbon dioxide build-up.

C02 “may be having a greenhouse effect on our climate” because mankind is “contaminating the earth’s atmosphere faster than nature can clean it.”

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

While airstrikes account for mass casualties, bulldozers and explosives are flattening Gaza from the ground — what soldiers say is a systematic campaign to make the Strip unlivable, a joint investigation reveals.

METROPOLIS MAGAZINE PHOTO: COURTESY CITY ATLAS 2025 4 player collaborative game Build a carbon-neutral power grid, while managing public opinion, grid stability, and money. Energetic: The Board Game is a simple and fun way to illustrate and help people understand the complex intersecting issues surrounding climate change. The game is now part of class curricula at Bronx Science, Hunter College High School, and ten other high schools in New York City. It has also been used in classes at Yale, Brown, and Harvard. Here's to playing our cards right. ENERGETIC: THE BOARD GAME Developed by design nonprofit City Atlas, Energetic is a collaborative game in which four to six players work as a team to decarbonize New York City while, according to the instructions, "managing the region's public opinion, grid stability, and money." In the original version, the goal was to build 16 gigawatts of carbon-neutral energy by 2050. In the Green New Deal version, that goal is set for 2035. Action Cards familiarize users with the types of infrastructure, policies, research, and campaigns that can help one build a new energy system in NYC. Each player chooses a role: Activist, Politician, Entrepreneur, Engineer, Regulator, or Journalist, with each role having a Special Ability, Superpower, and Constraint that affects play. "Many of us are concerned about the climate crisis but don't yet have a clear picture of what concrete options are available to meaningfully address it," the creators write in their Educator's Guide. "Our objective is to give players a quick grounding in what solving climate change actually means, in a physical and social sense, based on the demand for energy that can supply 8 million New Yorkers." M SPRING 2024 At the Swiss Consulate-sponsored Trialogue meeting on sustainability in Bangalore, India, a diverse group of players, from Nigeria, India, and Switzerland, join to decarbonize NYC in #PlayEnergetic. High school students at Stuyvesant #PlayEnergetic, leaning over the board.

i saw the latest strong towns video which is the thesis statement to their new book. it gave me the ick (although the videos by mike are totally fine) and it reminded me of this fantastic article that continues to be true. highly recommend reading it because the vibes are rancid:
