Scale: 201 total climate segments in 2025 — a 35% decline from 2024, and a collapse from the 23 hours the three networks managed in 2022.
What they covered: Mostly single events — LA wildfires, Hurricane Melissa — not the fossil fuels driving them. Root causes got 15% of total airtime.

The land remembers every Jim Crow poll tax — and now the Senate hosts the SAVE America Act this week, a shit-gargling fuck-stick of a bill that requires in-person passport or birth certificate presentation to register, photo ID copies with every absentee ballot, voter rolls handed to a DHS database that has already misidentified citizens, and election workers criminalized

An intel chief quits over a war started for a foreign lobby. The Senate tries to gut your ballot. The networks gave the planet eight hours of airtime all year. It's Tuesday and we're burning.

What Wendy's Doing:
Sitting in my cubicle preparing for my 1 on 1 with my manager so that we can talk about about how the fuck we managed to hire a “bad actor” , and not like the bad actor Jean Claude…but the bad actor like SUPERH4XORW4NN4BE type.

"Connecting the discoveries of historical luminaries like Newton, da Vinci, and the Wright brothers to the latest breakthroughs in engineering, Friction is a captivating biography of this unsung hero of the physical world."
Teaching Writing with Generative AI
This post is based on a presentation I ran recently at the AATE conference. It takes the writing cycle approach from our book 'Practical Writing Strategies' and applies Generative AI at various stages. One of the most pressing concerns at the recent Australian Association for the Teaching of English (AATE) conference was the implications of Generative AI for teachers.

"I do want to just acknowledge the tremendous feeling of voting for oneself." — Andrea Jenkins

"I thought it would set us back 50 years if I didn't win." — Billie Jean King
She walked in knowing the weight wasn't just hers — it belonged to every woman told she wasn't enough. Showing up isn't about fearlessness. It's knowing the cost of sitting down is worse than standing. Today the court is a Senate chamber, a prison medical office, a registration line — but the game is the same.
