Ain't this the truth

BBC: "Everyone got duped by Sam Bankman-Fried's big gamble"

No, lots of us called crypto out from the very start. I was reading accurate critiques of bitcoin in 2012.

Journalists and financiers and politicians got duped or didn't care about the truth when there was money to be made.

Now you're trying to pretend nobody warned you? Get fucked.

“It is quite striking if you’re used to working with plants just how erratic the climate-plant system is becoming - and this is just the start of decades of increasing chaos.”

#Electrification of #transport is important, but we should not forget that #EVs still use far more #energy than public transport, biking, or pedestrians.

It is essential to combine different modes of transport in an equitable way, while keeping in mind that cities & rural areas, the poor & the rich, and different countries have different needs. According to Vox, #Norway is an example of both what to do and what not to do. #Inclusive #EnergyTransition #GlobalHeating

Today I had the opportunity to see a visitor far from home, a tiny snow bunting from the arctic, well out of range in Seattle.

It was completely unafraid of people; I wonder if it had even seen humans before.

An absolutely charming bird full of life and character. I fell in love at once.

It will cost much more if we dont fix this now.

Drivers know it possibly best. If your check engine light comes on, its fix it, or buy a new engine.

The #Climate Wildfires, destroyed Pakistan, Amazon running dry, massive instant explosive hurricanes where no hurricane has been before, are Earth's Check Engine Light.

Its going to be MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE, and deadly, if we don't build all the renewables we need now, to END carbon fuels.

Our check engine light is on.

A paradox. The US economy has grown and added jobs at record rates throughout the Biden administration. Wages are rising and inflation is down to 2.4%. The economy is outperforming most of the world.

Yet most Americans think the economy is in poor shape. Mistakenly, they think it was better under Trump.

Who is to blame?

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.

If I am going to hear once more ‚This is business, what do you expect‘ in relation to #climatechange inaction, I am going to 😱🤮🤯😭😩

The #bat is captured in flight, just a few centimeters above the surface of the water, its wings sharply defined as it flaps them energetically. Its reflection can be seen on the surface of the water, adding another layer of beauty and detail to the photograph.
