I'm from #Iceland, deeply passionate about #climate issues. As a #humanist and #atheist, I embrace a worldview centered on reason, compassion, and evidence, while remaining open to the many facets that define me.

"Viewpoint diversity" about whether human activity is warming the planet, or whether vaccines work, is like "viewpoint diversity" about whether the sky is blue or whether the Earth is round. It falls outside the range of good faith scientific and academic discourse.

I’m not staying up‑to‑date on this, is it possible to track it? If these records aren’t maintained, it borders on a violation of our collective responsibility to humanity.

I’m optimistic that the underlying temperature readings for this data are accessible and will become available in due course, although the current regime may pose challenges to timely updates for now.

Could anyone explain why the September temperature record has not yet been updated in the NASA GISS database?

Israel’s “ceasefire” strategy: bomb first, announce peace later, repeat until everyone’s thoroughly confused and Gaza’s hospitals overflow. Humanitarian aid? Maybe next time - right after the next airstrike, of course! What a masterclass in conflict resolution.

Hamas and Israel accuse each other of violations, as hospital sources in Gaza say death toll reaches 44 and IDF says two soldiers killed.

The #comic Hugleikur Dagsson just got kicked off Meta. Let’s make him feel at home here on Bluesky. His work is dark, sarcastic, and absolutely hilarious in my view.

Welcome to Bluesky @dagsson.bsky.social

Hello Bluesky. I'm here because Meta doesn't want me. Looking forward to post unfiltered, unhinged and un-whatever stuff here. Tell your friends!

#NoKings protests sweep the US, hundreds of thousands flood cities, demanding democracy, not monarchy. Times Square, D.C., LA, Miami: all peaceful despite National Guard on standby. Trump dodges the “king” label, but critics see creeping authoritarianism and recall fights against fascism.

Charming crowd, in the most ironic sense

For my piece today at @zeteo.com i wanted to truly underscore how punishingly stupid american fascism is now. Like, my original proposed headline for this was:

Our Democracy Is Imperiled Because One Old Man Won’t Stop ‘Yelling’ At His TV. zeteo.com/p/trump-addi...
Trump’s Addiction to Watching Fox Is Killing American Democracy
Our country is falling apart because one old man, Trump advisers and former administration officials say, won’t stop ‘yelling’ at his TV.

I get the sense that overall activity on Bluesky has dipped somewhat since a few months ago. Have others seen the same trend, and what might help revive the momentum?

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?
Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?

#Starlink satellites are burning up daily, dumping metals like aluminum into our upper atmosphere. Scientists warn this could harm the ozone layer and speed up climate impacts. With launches surging, researchers want urgent review and stricter rules.
