Pentagon retreats from climate fight even as heat and storms slam US troops
For decades, the military treated climate crisis as a threat. Now it’s backing away from plans to protect people and bases from extreme weather

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

Western Alaska was hit hard by the recent storms. Houses floated away in Kipnuk, houses flipped over, people lost everything from the flooding that came with the storms. Please donate if you can. This group has a long history of supporting AK communities.

On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, the world celebrates our culture but what’s often unseen is the daily work to protect, revitalize, and honor in today's busy society.

Each day, Indigenous peoples step into our role as caretakers of the land, defending our waters, air, and territories.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

wild, Miller saying that Trump has absolute authority over the military seems rather newsworthy and yet apparently CNN scrubbed it from their full youtube clip. The WH probably screamed at CNN to scrub it otherwise they wouldn't grant access anymore and CNN needs the clicks soooo here we are

Someone uploaded the video to reddit. He said it and then just abruptly stopped talking. The video is still working - you can see him blinking. And it's not an audio problem his mouth isn't moving

This story describes such a psychologically complex phenomenon, breaking with the parents who didn’t vaccinate you to get protected now. But it’s encouraging to read—it’s not too late to protect yourself and others, and the shots themselves are generally no big deal

Emily Guskin @emgusk.bsky.social · 9d
When he started getting his shots in his 20s — including for polio, whooping cough and measles, according to medical records — he said it felt like an act of rebellion toward his parents, whose views he now vehemently disagrees with.
“I was just like, ‘Load me up, Doc,’” he said.
Their parents never got them vaccinated. As young adults, they faced a choice.
Falling vaccination rates around the country mean more will grow up without protection from debilitating diseases until they are old enough to decide for themselves, typically at age 18.
