@violin4all "until we plunge into eternal night" It saddens me to read this statement coming from you, Kim. It seems you've bought into Lyle's assertion that humanity is headed for extinction by 2055. As you know, I support your commitment to fighting for Nature, your posts show real passion. But framing our struggle as one inevitably ending in "eternal night" (human extinction soon) drains the energy we need to actually turn the tide. Lyle's timeline—his book's "over/under" bet on human extinction by 2055, which he still stands by in recent posts is his personal projection as a former endangered species biologist, but it's not scientific consensus. Mainstream bodies like the IPCC and IPBES, along with peer-reviewed syntheses (e.g., recent meta-analyses in Science and Current Biology), warn of severe, accelerating biodiversity loss, tipping points, and high species extinction risks—up to ~30% of assessed species by century's end under high-emissions paths, with cascading ecosystem collapse. Yet these same sources stress that aggressive mitigation, scaled conservation, rapid emissions cuts, and habitat restoration can still avoid the worst outcomes, including civilizational collapse. Pathways exist to stabilize systems, bend the curve, and preserve habitable conditions—even if the window is narrow and closing. Adopting Lyle's "eternal night" stance narrows that window further by breeding resignation and defeatism. Verbiage like "plunging into eternal night" actively hurts the movement for healing Earth and humanity—when what we desperately need is sustained, determined, hopeful action, not pre-emptive surrender. We fight because outcomes aren't locked in. Every protected area established, every policy shifted, every collective behavior changed matters and buys time. Lyle blocked me precisely because I pushed back against his predetermined doom mindset. If you truly share that frame—if you believe the plunge is inevitable by mid-century—then I can no longer amplify or support your X posts. The cause needs fighters who believe victory (or at least meaningful deceleration) is possible, not echoes of inevitable darkness. 🦋LJC
TERAFAB: the next step to becoming a galactic civilization Together with @SpaceX & @xAI, we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever (1TW/year) – combining logic, memory & advanced packaging under one roof. To harness as much power as possible from the Sun, we need to send 100 million tons of solar capture into space – per year. This requires massive scale. – Capability to launch millions of tons of mass into orbit – Solar-powered AI satellites – Millions of @Tesla_Optimus robots to help build it out All of these need chips: 100-200GW of chips for Optimus alone, plus terawatts for solar-powered AI satellites. That's more than all the chip manufacturers in the world combined can provide today, or even by 2030 (based on projected production growth). We're building TERAFAB to close the gap between today’s chip production & the future's demand – a future among the stars terafab.ai
Elon Musk misled investors during Twitter takeover, US jury finds trib.al/g2sNvOW
Fun Fact: Elon once offered to buy a flight attendant a horse for sexual favours. She declined. Then SpaceX paid her $250,000 to keep quiet.
NINE BILLION DOLLARS. Just in New South Wales. Just on pokies. Just in one year. I don’t think Australia will ever come to grips with how truly broken we are as a country when it comes to gambling.

No voter ID, especially when combined with mail-in ballots, means the system is engineered to make fraud impossible to prove. Everyone knows that you can barely get through your week without showing ID for the most banal activities, like shopping at Costco. The only reason to ban ID is to hide massive voter fraud.
Oswald Mosley’s grandson is the head of Palantir UK because out of every single Brit in existence, Peter Thiel had to pick that guy.
“I voted for Trump every election. We never thought it would come affect us.”🤔
Do these virgins have any say in what happens to them ?
BREAKING: Robert Mueller, former FBI Director and Special Counsel, has died at 81. Trump immediately took to Truth Social to celebrate his death: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”
Checking back on this
He is a simple man
Do it and kiss the World Cup goodbye.
Extraordinary that Trump's allies in Europe are three dictatorships, Russia, Hungary and Belarus What he loathes is any kind of democracy
