Insightful graph from a powerful piece by @amywestervelt.bsky.social @lucaswaldron.bsky.social: "An investigation by ProPublica & Drilled has found that boosters of CCS have ignored evidence of the technology’s limitations, or overstated its potential, & convinced the world it could be effective."
Every time I stay at a hotel, I need to spend at least half an hour explaining that there are people who do not want bottled water. This simple proposition often surprises the house managers/staff on duty. And often, the cycle repeats with every new encounter with other staff.
@mozilla.org is trying its best to push its loyal users away by burdening every click with an AI pop-up.
Cross-country skiing gold medalist Jessie Diggins: “I'm racing for an American people who stand for love, for acceptance, for compassion, honesty, and respect for others...For everyone out there caring for others, protecting their neighbors & meeting people with love, every single step is for you."
Takaichi staked her premiership on a bet that the country would embrace her bluntly-spoken conservatism, promises of a new era of prosperity and expansive spending pledges. The opposition bloc offered an alternative to voters nervous about Takaichi’s right-wing politics. www.ft.com/content/0456...
As India claims to be an emerging global power, it'd do well to invest some of its wealth to address climate change & climate inequalities at home. Climate change is not just an env/diplomatic issue: it's about human security. @ashoswai.bsky.social @thediplomat.com thediplomat.com/2025/12/indi...

Not from a globally recognized newsroom with multiple Pulitzers to its name. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...
The scale of the climate crisis upends the fundamental tenets of risk pooling that underpin the insurance market. Public deliberations about the links between private interests and public policies and institutions will be crucial for adapting to a climate-changed world. 360info.org/burned-out-h...

U.S.'s dirty energy boom did not add union jobs: U.S. fossil fuel production & employment grew steadily; from 2004 to 2014, oil, gas, & mining jobs grew by 60%. Yet, union membership rates in the industry fell by the same proportion, dropping from 11.4 to 4.8%. dissentmagazine.org/article/aust...

Not sure what's up with the photos not showing up. Let me give this one more try. So happy for Coco Gauff's Wuhan Open win.

Hi, BlueSky friends: Do you have any recommendations for a Pocket that has shut down? While we are able to "export" all our Pocket saves, I wonder if there's a comparable app that would allow a smooth transition! Thank you in advance for helping out. 🙏🏽 #Pocket
Responses from Jigar Shah and Dave Roberts suggest that many of the reactions referring to Project2025 should be expected; Most of them are either inarticulate, impatient, or insensitive, and some are reliving the worst instincts from the old site.

Exhibit 701 in how research communication distorts research findings. There is so much to unpack and unburden in the following summary: "these projects may have negative impacts on the communities they are trying to help." #CarbonCaptured
I had a feeling that a variable other than gender might be a stronger predictor of difference in the support for Trump. Look at this @pewresearch.org poll of U.S. adults conducted between April 7-13, 2025. #PresidentialApproval www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...
