Cops are a bigger theat to society than trans people and drag queens are

Great!

I look forward to a world where fusion powers our electricity; but we're only going to get there if we tackle climate change at scale, today, with the tools available now: efficiency, clean energy, nature + more. We know what to do, we just need to DO it! http://www.drawdown.org

COVID-19 has erased two decades of life expectancy growth in the US. Yet, leaders are still trying to gaslight us into believing that the US had one of the best responses to the pandemic.

COVID deniers/minimizers often use the CDC's misleading Community Levels map, which is mostly green, to trick people into thinking there isn't much COVID spread (which is happening in dense population centers). This is the exact same trick that election deniers use!

HOW TO TELL CRYPTO’S A SCAM:

1. FTX crashed and it didn’t wreck the real economy even a little. Unlike, say, Lehman Brothers.

2. But SBF got indicted lickety split. Unlike, say, Lehman’s executives, who were no better.

Never forget, electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the planet.

A reminder of why we are trying to make a new and improved science community here on Mastodon.

It’s wild that we can see images like this from NASA’s Webb Telescope - galaxies hundreds of millions of light years away, stars being born & dying - and yet carry on ravaging the planet as if it’s not miraculous that somehow, we’re here.

@johnrossmd Before I began working on my masters in public mgt at CMU in the late 80s, I assumed I would be one of many environmental scientists there trying to manage away from certain disaster. Instead, I was surrounded by hospital professionals but no physical scientists. And I thought to myself, "Boy, medical costs are going to skyrocket". And they did. And on the global warming thing, sorry, but no one cared when something meaningful could still be done. But at least I tried.

@johnrossmd as a former ICU leader said…our system and billing was designed by surgeons prioritizing procedures not outcomes.

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.
