Trump appointees have ties to companies that stand to benefit from privatizing weather forecasts
Downsizing at the National Weather Service appears to be part of an effort by Republicans to privatize such agencies.

More than 60 scientists issue dire warning that the Earth is careening toward catastrophe: 'Things are all moving in the wrong direction'

"We're seeing some unprecedented changes, and we're also seeing the heating of the Earth and sea-level rise accelerating as well.“
@rahmstorf Geoengineering would be an absolute disaster - a "solution" to the #climate #emergency that would entail numerous unforeseeable #consequences. There is no alternative to reducing, then eliminating, the burning of #fossilfuels, & ending #deforestation & the destruction of #wetlands.
@mrbadger42 almost as if facists fear #accountability and #consequences.
Is a broken jet stream causing extreme weather that lasts longer?
Scientists are scrambling to understand how climate change may be interfering with the winds that carry our weather, with potentially catastrophic consequences…

Each time history repeats itself, the price goes up.

Good morning.

Yesterday, we took a walk to Prairie Creek. When we reached the bridge, we crossed—bringing to mind the familiar saying, ‘We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.’ It’s a bit of a corny joke, but the meaning holds weight. It symbolizes decision points in life, reminding us that even seemingly small choices can lead to significant consequences down the road. I often try to explain this to the young people in my life, emphasizing the importance of making thoughtful decisions. After all, today's choices shape tomorrow’s opportunities. Some have taken this advice to heart, while others have not. But every decision steers the future—a place where "time keeps slippin, slippin, slippin into the future," along with chances that may or may never come.

One thing people might ignore about the #broligarchy & #conservatism today is it’s shoehorning of the fascist impulse of #purity onto technology.
We see this impulse particularly applied to #ai, with calls for #deregulation approaching religious fervour.
We see it in transhumanism, tescrealism, network state, pretty much all of it.
Purity is another way of saying; only our tribe is good enough to reap benefits. But most importantly it is a domain of no #consequences. The holy item of #fascism
If you have to be #shady or if you have to tell others to be quiet about your #abusive choices - you are an #abuser who wants to avoid #consequences for your own poor #choices with intentionally trying to #harm others(women under age 60 are their insecurity target, men are safer). It is on you & no one else.
« The actor Pedro Pascal has attacked author JK #Rowling on X, calling her a “heinous loser”.
Pascal responded to a comment reporting the words of activist Tariq Ra’ouf in an Instagram video, in which he urged people to #boycott Rowling’s work.
“It has become our mission as the general public to make sure that every single thing that’s Harry Potter related fails … because that awful disgusting shit, that has #consequences.” »

“We understand that the other side has a good heart, that they want to make #medicines cheaper. But to recklessly, recklessly cut the profits of small business owners, the #pharmacies working extremely hard, some of them have told me they’ve gone down to 30-40%. That gambling-like behaviour is simply not on.” — #ScottYung

I just think #TheEconomist is #discrediting itself by #platforming #MAGA #bullshit that even 5th graders can callout as #Kindergarten-esque #mobbing.
It's pretty much absurd to do so without seriously interrogating whether the #Trump regime actually knows the shit it does or whether this is just a #dismantling operation by #AgentKrasnov to enshure #Putin gets what he wants.
Tho in the meantime it only resulted in the #EU coming closer together and #Europe finding resolve against #Russia, with both #NATO and EU becoming stronger than before...
Again: #REFORUSA is an act of self- and mutual defense at this point!
Except THIS is not how any of this works!....
#Trump literally lashing out against friends and neighbours will only backfire hard, and I expect @EUCommission and @europarl_en to enact #PrizeFreezes for #US #products & #services whilst forcing #Retaliatory #Tariffs on all US #products and espechally #services, demanding 100%+ in all #fees, and #revenue of #GAFAMs' services and products to the point that they'll effectively cancel half their revenue that flows back.
Not to mention cancelling any #DataProtection agreements that only stalled the foreseeable court decision that #CloudAct is incompatible with #GDPR, thus banning #Office365 / #Microsoft365, #iCloud et. al. from the EU!
Given #Trump can't be assed to even fake any #loyality or #allied status even for the cameras, this is a #ForeseeableConsequence.
Unless we want to end up #downgraded into the state of a US-occupied overseas possession without statehood, like #Guam, #PuertoRico or #AVI...
I'm sure the investment advisors, who have made record profits for their wealthy clients by gleefully ignoring human rights, the environment and any morality or ethics, need a shoulder to cry on these days. Not mine.
We seemingly recognise the threats posed by climate change which will include mass migration (for survival's sake) - but this ‘study' recognises a large number will suffer - and of course it will be the poorer members of our society. Large numbers of poor dispossesed people - I can't wait!

If you can't share information in simple terms with the people who will live with the consequences, then it's useless clinically. That is the universal test of meaning in clinical practice.
