Denying promotions of individual officers based on their race or gender would betray every principle of merit-based service that military officers uphold. It would also violate federal law. I am demanding answers from SecDef Hegseth & the Pentagon. nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/…

“Twelve hours after Israeli settlers brutally attacked several Palestinians and established a new illegal outpost in their village, the Israeli military stepped in. But instead of detaining settlers or dismantling the illegal outpost, the soldiers targeted the Palestinian residents of Tayasir and a CNN team covering the incursion.” @JDiamond1 @AbeerSalmanCNN cnn.com/2026/03/27/mid…

@danrejto When will those who don't like to see wasteful spending call for Fee-and-Dividend as environmental policy? If fees are set high enough to bring impacts of various kinds into line w/ what most people think is OK, there will be no rationale, no need, for any other regulations.

$38 billion. That's how much EPA estimates its new biofuel mandate will cost society. Yet the politics of redistributing money to farmers keeps this policy going.

While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team. But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement. W/ @AbeerSalmanCNN

"Gulf countries are increasingly frustrated with the US over the Iran war, privately questioning American security guarantees and expressing concern about the Trump administration’s apparent lack of strategy..." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Everyone sitting at Mar-a-Lago realizing he’s talking about them.

@CathyYoung63 Maybe we should have allowed latitude to taxpayers to stop their money from going to anything they think is harmful or wasteful (PROVIDED that they move the funds toward support of alternative programs that most people recognize as being BETTER for society) a long time ago.

The FCC chair openly bragging about the President of the United States forcing out undesirable journalists and installing "new ownership" of TV networks. Totally normal, folks.

Pussy Riot occupies headquarters of American tech company Ubiquiti which powers Russian war crimes Since the disabling of Starlink, Russian soldiers been panicking: “All we’ve got left now are radios, cables and pigeons.” But Ubiquiti’s hardware has emerged as the favorite replacement.  We demand that Ubiquiti: - Obey U.S. sanctions - Acknowledge Russian military use - Work with Ukraine to stop it

A coordination is emerging among several countries, including the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia, and other CPTPP members, with the aim of defending global trade. They are exploring forms of cooperation to preserve the stability of the international trading system and WTO rules.

MAHA influencer, Casey Means, might be the next U.S. Surgeon General. Here's what that could mean for your health and why you should care:

@sentientist You know what? It's kinda embarrassing to fart, and the jobs that have people spending large spans of time in social contexts where it's especially embarrassing have the highest rates of IBS. We could take a hint from associations between occupation and IBS incidence.

The real tragedy of the commons is that Lindy West and Trevor Sheatz discourse will make people stop revealing embarrassing things about themselves. Let’s practice sustainable cringe harvesting.

@sama Ask your AI to convert this view to a time lapse across several months, but with cutaway views, so we see the transformations going on inside, too.

The first steel beams went up this week at our Michigan Stargate site with Oracle and Related Digital

@JunkScience @CeresNews @MindyLubber If humans have a shared right to define overall limits to rates of resource depletion, industries should confirm that the current rate is not at that limit before increasing their own extraction. DO we have that shared right? IF we have the right, we have a duty to manifest it.

Two Big "Ifs": Even @CeresNews chief @MindyLubber is now unsure about the climate hoax: "Many would be tempted to throw in the towel. Not Lubber, who maintains that if the science on climate is true and the risks to business are real..." Gone are the days of, "the science is settled." Back are the days of "if." reuters.com/sustainability…

@PeterDClack I could have a balance beam with rice and lentils on one side, and a 1kg mass on the other side. The amount of rice could me 100X the amount of lentils, but increasing the amount of lentils by 50% or 100% would tilt the balance, nonetheless. It's no different for thermal energy.

The Earth's great ocean currents have carried warm waters up from the tropics to Northern Europe for hundreds of millions of years. They are the eternal thermal engines that drive climate variability around the world. The oceans are key to the world's variable climate. They contain 91-93% of all retained heat energy, which drives the major tropical currents to the world's northern hemisphere. This prevents most of Europe freezing in a climate similar to Greenland. It makes little sense to attribute global climate to a trace gas CO2, which is 420 ppm, or 0.042% of the atmosphere. Water vapour is at least 100 times more influential for heat retention, particularly in tropical areas where it provides up to 75% of regional warming capacity. The major currents are large-scale, continuous movements of seawater driven by wind, tides, and density differences (thermohaline circulation). These are organised into five major subtropical gyres. A round trip for thermohaline circulation takes 1,000 years for a single parcel of water. While the atmosphere changes by the day, the oceans provide the thermal memory of the planet. The two key currents are the Gulf Stream (Atlantic) and the Kuroshio (Pacific) and they transport heat poleward, influencing the global climate. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current moves the largest volume of water.

@marcodecunha1 @grok @_ClimateCraze @luckytran A pair of graphs showing temp. trends, one showing data from the avg. of all sites that changed their time of instrument resets, from late afternoon to morning, and another showing avgs. from sites w/ no change. Similar trends before homogenization will prove no need for homogen

@grok , y existen validaciones independientes que confirman las críticas a las correcciones a la baja de tempersturas pasadas?. Si el debate continúa significa que no hay consenso general, tal como lo indican muchas otras voces.. es más... podría.os ecor que estamos lejos del consenso.

Lucky for @luckytran that NOAA "Altered" the prior temperature record so much that even a little warming now shows up as a faked red hot trend.

@marcodecunha1 @grok @_ClimateCraze @luckytran It looks like you are searching for motive to explain corrupt manipulation of data just after it has been explained to you that there is no evidence of corrupt manipulation of data--just well-motivated adjustments to data skewed by changes in practices, etc.

@grok @_ClimateCraze @luckytran @grok , desde cuándo se realizan esas correcciones en forma masiva que muestran un pasado más frío acaso se hicieron luego de las políticas masivas que apuntaban al CO2 como responsable del aumento de temperatura global?

@_ClimateCraze @marcodecunha1 @luckytran You show this graph, often, and insinuate nefarious intent. You never say why you think Time of Observation Bias should not be eliminated to whatever extent possible (a major cause of the difference in trend, I think). (@hausfath Any explainer videos that teach TOB by example?)

@marcodecunha1 @luckytran Notice that AI (artificial ignorance) never shows the smoking gun NOAA data tampering graph - because it's embarrassing.

@_ClimateCraze @luckytran @hausfath, I want to see AI-powered tools that assemble data in accessible form, to illustrate things like how TOB and TOB adjustments work. It'd be a dynamic process, so any example in the record of Time of Observation Bias can be used to illustrate how it is detected & fixed.

@JackLee16921415 @_ClimateCraze @NatGeo I don't know what work, 'Temporal', is doing. How is temporal causality different from causality? The physical mechanism that makes CO₂ relatively opaque to IR radiation is related to the way it interacts w/ a photon--converting it to energy-as-vibration, then back to a photon.

@TallPhilosopher @_ClimateCraze @NatGeo You are citing a narrative based on correlations. Temporal causality shows a physical mechanism. If you don't understand these concepts take a remedial class in science.

Here's more of - "creates a risk" and "could still occur" - which is just more frantic hand-waving because alarmists have NO proof man-made CO2 harms our climate. The fake climate crisis has reached its delusional tipping point as the public now sees the climate crisis as a scam.

@JackLee16921415 @_ClimateCraze The current warming trend is experimental evidence that validates Alexander Graham Bell's prediction around 1917 in @NatGeo that continued emission of CO₂ would lead to a warming planet. What are you talking about? Alignment btwn model and historical record validates the model

@TallPhilosopher @_ClimateCraze Using models to validate a hypothesis is circular reasoning when temporal causality has not been proven. If you don't that point as well, take some remedial math classes
