Retired white guy, nevertheless a leftist. Out in the county, retired from UVa, still a tech guy specializing in Apple stuff. Occasional writer. And I like crows. :)#Permaculture #Apple #History #antifascist #photography #TTRPG

June 2025: +1.6Β°C. Imagine *doubling* this fever πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

+3.1Β°C is not set in stone. +1.5Β°C is not lost. We can avert the worst if we make oil and gas corporations #StopDrillingStartPaying.

#MakePollutersPay

Masked thugs with no identification are snatching minorities off the street & tossing them in #ConcentrationCamps without benefit of #DueProcess.

They LAUGH & delight in their cruelty. Their supporters LIKE the cruelty.

They hand power to the wealthy who then decimate the lives of the poor in the name of patriotism.

They've bombed countries that DID NOT attack them.

Extended arm "Roman Salutes" are dismissed as a show of love.

I'm describing Hitler's #ThirdReich. Who did you think I meant?πŸ€”

More TACO PLEASE

Dinosaurs went extinct before koalas, penguins... and #microplastics!

For every animal alive today, microplastic pollution is a reality.

That’s why it's time to turn off the plastic tap and end the age of plastic.

Sign the petition to demand world leaders deliver a strong #PlasticsTreaty in August!

Storm Surges Are More Extreme Than Previously Thought, New Study Finds

Coastal communities around the world face increasing threats from storm surgesβ€”intense rises in sea level caused by powerful storms pushing water ashore. A new study using advanced statistical modeling and historical sea-level observational data shows that the likelihood of these extreme events occurring is much higher than previously estimated, raising concerns about future coastal flood risks.

πŸ’¬ "Now bright sparks at solar developer Sun-Ways have come up with a solution that exploits some of Switzerland’s 5,000km (3,100 miles) of railway line: solar panels that slot between the tracks."

Ah, but who needs food when you've got piles of cash that are only worth something while Civilisation continues? /s

As we drove through Wiltshire on our way home from the Festival the farm fields were a shade of brown and orange I had not seen before...

SERIOUS QUESTION:

Can #Republicans defend anything they do w/o lying (or making crap up?)

Indiana Sen Jim Banks on #FnS defends #DonTheCon's "#BigBeautifulBill" idiocy by claiming:

"It eliminates over a Billion dollars in tax credits for #TheGreenNewDeal."

First, THERE IS NO "GREEN NEW DEAL". No such bill was ever passed.

Second, Republicans ❀️ every tax cut/credit except those related to "Green Energy". Why?

#Banks also claimed (on #FnS this morning) that the (ridiculously named) #BigBeautifulBill saves money by "denying Medicare benefits to millions of 'illegals'."

NO "ILLEGALS" RECEIVE #MEDICARE.

As Delaware Sen Chris Coons later explains, "Some STATES offer #MediCare benefits to undocumented immigrants", but NO FEDERAL Medicare DOLLARS go to illegal immigrants.

@MugsysRapSheet So... no deduction from their paychecks if their status is unclear?

#SundayShowdown

#Republicans are positively *giddy* this morning regarding the Far Right #SCotUS ruling prohibiting lower court FEDERAL judges from stopping "T****'s agenda".

First, these aren't LAWS these lower court judges are blocking, they are #ExecutiveOrders (something the #GOP called "#unconstitutional" when #Obama used them.)

Second, #Conservative used Federal judges EXTENSIVELY when it came to stopping President #Biden from protecting #Abortion rights, #DACA, or #CollegeDebtRelief.

LORD I DESPISE #MarKwayne. πŸ˜’

He was on #MtP defending "cutting 35M people off #MediCare".

#Welker (to her credit) asked him, "Are you saying ALL 35 Million are engaged in waste, fraud & abuse?"

MarKwayne: "No. But you can't tell me there's no room for cutting WF&B from MediCare."

SO… BY HIS OWN ADMISSION… he is cutting millions of people who AREN'T engaged in WF&B from Medicare. πŸ€”

#SundayShowdown

#ZohranMamdani on #MtP this morning has been *amazing*. He is great at defending his policies and staying focused on who he will be representing.

I love that he's not afraid to go after #FatMasterson, his lawlessness, and his hypocrisy, noting how T**** ran on "costs for consumers, and has since abandoned them."

I predict an incredibly bright future for this man.
