From 2012-2016, California suffered the worst 5-year drought on record, followed by the wettest year on record in 2017.
Now, following 3 years of severe drought again, the state is being pummeled by record wet storms.
This is the long-warned-about intensification of weather due to human caused #climate change.

@lolgop that’s what happens when you can only relate things to yourself.

@jmendelsohn one thing about the Twitter files nothingburger that struck me:
- the idea that free speech enforcement applies to public companies. Clearly, even current Twitter’s owner only cares about free speech that doesn’t offend him.
The only free speech people have at Twitter is to leave the platform if they don’t like it. Yet it’s in the Twitter files thread as if it’s a freedom we’re all entitled to and we should expect it.

Ever notice that wingnuts love expressions like “This is messed up” ?

It’s a form of virtue-signaling between know-nothings.

Hello Fediverse!

I'm sharing a thing that I hope can be the beginning for many conversations, and represents for me a statement that is the result of many years of conversation:

https://slocanstatement.org/

I call it the #SlocanStatement, and I'm sharing it here first, in public, in the spirit of the Fediverse.

I hope you'll read it, share it if you think it's a valuable statement, and comment and revise it towards building consensus across the Fediverse.
