Today's global 2m temperature blasted through yesterday's all time record global high, reaching a new record high of 17.18°C. This is a full 1.64°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline temperature for the day. Hang on folks.

Breaking News! The planet has reached yet another record modern-day high temperature at 17.23°C (63.02°F), a full 1.68°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline. Reminder: breaking 1.5°C for one day is not the same as breaking 1.5°C for the long term.

To everyone looking at total eclipse tomorrow. It looks likes good in both Indiana/Western Ohio. and Vermont/New Hampshire/Maine. Its a releif after days of uncertainty on clouds in the midwest. I'll be traveling to Indiana to see it.

If you can make it to the path of totality yourself I strongly encourage it. The difference between a partial eclipse and totality really is the difference between something you'll likely forget in a few days, and a potentially life-changing experience

Jonathan Haidt and Jordan Peterson are both wrong. Kids aren't traumatized by social media because of salacious content or anonymous sociopaths. Most kids seek out salacious content on purpose and it's very hard to actually give a shit about the vitriol of people who don't know

Since 2000, 78 leaders of democratic countries have been indicted, and 48 have been convicted. Including leaders of Portugal, France, Italy, and Iceland. So it is not unprecedented in that sense. If it is unprecedented in any way its the severity of Trump's crimes

80% of people in 77 countries want their governments to take stronger action to tackle the #climate crisis. --If people saw this graphic below it’d be closer to 100%.

BREAKING: In a terribly embarrassing moment for Trump, Fox News has to cut away from his speech because he isn’t making any coherent sense. It’s beyond clear Trump is senile. Retweet so all Americans see this.

In the 2010's-now I am at least somewhat sympathetic to that argument as israel had by that time made peaceful methods of protest/resistance difficult(though the level of violence is still foolish). in the 90's and 2000's though this was not the case.

Perhaps you saw this "chart crime" yesterday. Well, I tried to fix it so it was accurate, instead of misleading. Two verisons (both valid and useful): A) The entire period from the start of the pandemic. B) Just the last year-and-a-half. Forgive my poor graphic editing.

This is it, right here. 💥 Share this with fiscally conservative Republicans who are tired of Donald Trump, but need a reason to vote for Kamala—here’s a big one… Trump’s plan balloons the national debt and hands more tax breaks to the wealthy. Meanwhile, Harris’s plan focuses

Yes, politicians need to do more than just deliver results. But delivering results is still good! And the Biden administration has really delivered a lot: high employment, low inflation, falling crime, and more. noahpinion.blog/p/democrats-fi…

this chart is one of the most vivid recent examples of how to lie with data millions of people convinced that millions of votes were added last year because people put up a truncated chart mid-count sharing in part bc the chart made me pause when I saw it at first

I’ve seen a lot of Presidents fall short of their promises but I’ve never seen any President just doing the opposite of everything promised on purpose. Prices, Epstein, wars. Just absolutely racing to betray his voters.

For most of our relationship, my wife was skeptical of having kids. In retrospect, I realize that this was partly because most of our friends/colleagues who had kids in their early-to-mid 20s basically turned off their lives and always offered up the kids as an excuse for
