Another day passes without my @norwaymfa.government.no announcing that it will make an exception to the rules governing the oil fund and commit every extra dollar made due to the Ukraine war to supporting Ukraine's, defence, liberation and rebuilding efforts.

The roughly 90m voters in the US who didn't vote for either Trump or Harris make up the biggest voter block. They have a massive responsibility now to step up and demand accountability from those who did vote for the two main candidates.
They can't be other-sided and that is a super power.

It baffles me that so many are seemingly so willing to lick the feet of nasty fools.
Is it just about a bloated perception of the actual value of money or is it something else? I mean it's almost starting to feel genetic.

"Climate change is all about control and taxation" is an unfortunate narrative derived both from the left's belief that this is the way to fix it and from the right's reluctance to present using the market and activated consumer power as the alternative.
It worked for CFCs.

It's been a long time coming, but it feels like people are finally coming around to the idea that in this day and age, financial success is a very unrealiable indicator of being a successful human being - unless one is a borderline sociopath.

Underestimating the renewable transition in the developing word because we don't consider the fact that a lot of countries don't have reliable grids to begin with is such a western thing.
The main drawback of, say, solar is just par for the course for them.

Trump's blatant and desperate attempts to block the release of the Epstein files feel suspect. I can't help wonder if the files have been sanitized and all this is, is Trump building hype so that a perfectly crafted nothingburger can ultimately blow up in everyone's face.

I remember the hype around Hakeem Jeffries. As an outside observer one thus wonder if the uselessness is a new thing or if it just wasn't evident before.
It's embarassing to watch.

Last year I wrote a short essay exploring some of Parfitt's indentity related theories through the lens of The Substance, Mickey 17 and Severance. The excellent new Apple TV show Pluribus make me want to go back and have another go at it.

Finished Anora and A House of Dynamite on the same evening. Two excellent movies with excellent endings imho.
The execution of AHOD's multiperspectival narrative structure is flawed but I certainly don't agree with those who found the third act flat.
I found it riveting!

As I watch proud people grovel for and boot lick morally corrupt leaders, it seems to me that the the fundamental flaw of the American Way is that it allows one to internalize anything if it's done for money.
I'd rather not experience the feeling when that illusion ultimately crumbles.

I agree with the criticism that some climate change scientists and pundits have not pushed back against doomerism as they should have. And we're paying the price for that.
The change in narrative now means that the sceptics are equally obligated to push back against the denialists.

How people can be confused about the damage Pelosi has done during her tenure baffles me.
Such a cotributing factor to the slow, sad degradation of politics as a functional means for people to use their democratic rights to steer the direction of their country.

The divison within American conservatism exposed so clearly in the reactions to Kevin Roberts of the Heritage foundation's response to the Nick Fuentes interview by Tucker sure runs deep. Deeper than I realised.
Will be interesting to see the power dynamics play out.

It's kinda hard to square:
1. Gates being concerned about the quality of life of poor people
2. Describing projections perhaps best matched by SSP2.
3. Knowing that SSP2 assumes that the people in the developing world will just become slightly less poor.

I read @thehonestbroker.bsky.social piece in the @newyorkpork.bsky.social and wonder who are in this "climate lobby" that have been "sent into a tizzy". People are concerned about the already realized danger of it being used to fuel the denialist narrative, not much else.

Why Bill Gates turned on the alarmists, and decided climate change isn’t the apocalypse
Earlier this week, Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates dropped a truth bomb into the discussion of climate and energy policy.

This is a thankless thing to post but the fact is that both the EAT Lancet group and its fierce Dublin Declaration opponents are failing to shape a constructive narrative primed for enacting required change.
The former because they make avoidable mistakes. The latter because they don't want to.

The damage done by western democracies evolving in a manner where a non-vote is not regarded as a legit rejection of all candidates is immense.
The endless cycle of game theory moulding candiates into being the least bad one and not an inch better is getting out of control.

One of the central dilemmas of climate change communication is that the corporations that are frontline identifiers of real impact (because they closely monitor every aspect of their businesses) can't talk about it because the impact on their valuation could be devastating.

It's unfathomable to me that the updated EAT Lancet diet exposes itself to the micro-nutrients deficiency argument when that was a thing already back in 2019.

All an interviewing journalist in 2025 needs to do to be seen as being at the top of their game is to reply "You didn't answer the question, please answer the question" ad infinitum whenver they're faced with spin - which is close to always now.
Yet, so few do it.

Appointing Frederika Otto as one of the Lead Authors of the chapter in @ipcc.bsky.social seventh assessment report called "Changes in regional climate and extremes, and their causes" is such a "read the room" mistake that one wonders if polarization is seen as positive by whoever makes those calls.
