Just storing all my anxious screenshots of news stuff that I see. Posts and reblogs are not endorsement. This is my archive of the news as I saw it.

Okay, I was just going to reblog this without commentary, but I can't keep this to myself. I'm a PhD student in environmental science and this is my fucking highway.

The first published study about climate change (that I am aware of-- feel free to point out if there's an older one) is an 1896 paper by Svante Arrhenius. He pointed out the link between the greenhouse effect and changes in atmospheric CO2.

Plate tectonics, which the geoscience community now recognizes as near indisputable, was a fringe theory until about the 1960s.

Just in case anyone thought that climate change was a "recent fad" in research.

Erling Haaland “brings the intensity of a raiding party to the sport”. And: “Haaland can call to mind a shark circling dark waters.”

Interesting how the first article link’s title named him the restaurant owner and referred to Thy Mitchell only as his wife.

The next article credits her as a restaurateur. That all should have been easily verifiable and uncontentious information.

I wonder if he's going to just give it to Putin (possibly in an envelope with a love letter?), or auction it off to the highest bidder?

Zoom Bookclub for Haters (Live)

Auction item 'Zoom Bookclub for Haters (Live)' hosted online at 32auctions.

Item Description

(no shipping required)

JD Vance has a new book out about his loser-ass flavor of Catholicism. Pope Leo is trying to bait Vance's whole caucus into schisming. Archbishop of Bluesky Claire Willett has scorching hot takes on all of it. Obviously she loves herself too much to read what will almost certainly be infuriating garbage simply for the fun of complaining; fortunately for you, however she loves democracy more.

You are cordially invited to WORLD'S WORST BOOK CLUB, in which Claire will actually, for real, read the whole f***-ing book cover to cover and then scream about everything liturgically, doctrinally, spiritually, existentially, emotionally, sexually, philosophically, grammatically and literarily wrong with it.

WHEN: Sunday, October 4th from 12 pm - 2 pm PST (the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, just to be petty)WHERE: Zoom (you'll all get a link before the event)

This will get you a ticket to the LIVE version of the talk: you will be able to attend the Zoom event live, bask in Claire's take down as it happens, and ask questions of Claire during the live Q&A section.
