For those of you who like pics of my "cooking" 😋

Steel-cut oats, apple, raisins, banana, cinnamon-sugar, and heavy cream.

And double-bergamot earl grey tea with cream and sugar.

(Yes, I'm American, so there's at least a pound of sugar in everything I eat.)

MOGA (make oats great again)

#Breakfast #FoodPorn ..? This is like PG-13 at most.

@alice Just finished my bowl, add walnuts, strawberries, and bananas. Also include powered peanut butter too for a protein kick. Keep me going all day long. ❤️

    @ElleGray @nicholas_saunders Has anyone tried to bless the entire ocean? All at once? That would be remarkable. ;)

    How high are actual carbon emissions and how bad is the climate crisis?

    In both cases, it's worse than we've been told.


    The national inventories of emissions supplied to the United Nations by most countries are anything but reliable, according to a growing body of research.

    The data supplied to the UN and published on its website are typically out of date, inconsistent, and incomplete. For most countries, “I would not put much value, if any, on the submissions,” says Glen Peters of the Centre for International Climate Research in Norway.

    In China, the uncertainties around its carbon dioxide emissions from burning coal are larger than the total emissions of many major industrial countries. And companies preparing data for its carbon-trading system have been accused of widespread data fraud.

    In the United States, an analysis of the air over the country’s oil and natural gas fields found that they emit three times more methane — a gas responsible for a third of current warming — than the government has reported.

    Meanwhile, a review of UN data has found that Qatar, the natural gas-rich Gulf state with the world’s highest per-capita CO2 emissions, has all but given up publicly reporting its emissions. Its last formal submission to the UN only covered emissions up to 2007. Since then, the country’s undeclared emissions have almost doubled.

    By one recent count, national emissions inventories total just 70% of the actual additions to the air, as calculated using remote sensing and model analysis. The remaining 30% are unaccounted for.

    As a result, say analysts, the world is flying blind, unable either to verify national compliance with emissions targets or figure out how much atmospheric “room” countries have left for emissions before exceeding warming thresholds.

    @breadandcircuses @bkahn It’s moving deck chairs around the Titanic. People won’t take it seriously until we lose a huge index of coastal cities. Then it’ll be too late. Someone light up the Applause lightbox. LOL.

    5 years of exec pay:

    Tesla: $2.5 billion
    T-Mobile: $675 million
    Netflix: $652 million
    Ford: $355 million

    5 years of federal income taxes paid:

    Tesla: $0 ($1M refund)
    T-Mobile: $0 ($80M refund)
    Netflix: $236 million
    Ford: $121 million

    Anyone else see the problem here?

    @rbreich @TCMuffin Every fine for corporate malfeasance is set at 10% total market capitalization. It’s justice.

    Put simply, the Court allowed Trump to stay on the ballot in order to avoid an outcome that would raise the “national temperature.” My objection is that Judges should not bend to the will of an insurrectionist simply to placate his supporters.

    @marcelias Beat the drum of SCOTUS being corrupt and ultimately irrelevant. When we stop believing in their power…

    It’s official: The CDC has weakened its COVID isolation guidelines, in a move that goes against the science, encourages disease spread, and prioritizes corporate interests, making it easier for bosses to exploit workers.

    @luckytran @allenstenhaus I wondered “How much blood will be on their hands” and then a side thought crashed in, “The CDC?” And I made a strangled bitter little chuckle.

    @MikeDunnAuthor Been beating this particular drum since I started working. I stopped mentioning it to my financial planner because his entire professional existence hangs on the fantasy that retirement is something I can actually have. Nah, never once considered retirement as something for us. It was something that our boomer parents had, and they’ll take with them when they die. Just like Social Security. If you don't depend on a thing, it can't let you down.

    According to a new survey by Yale, a majority of people in 17 US states don't believe there's scientific consensus that climate change is happening.

    @luckytran All those blue states in the middle are going to be where the new inland sea is going to form once the ocean rises. The surprise will be palpable. ;)

    I spotted a post from @FediTips about using lists. I gave it a shot a long while ago, but thought about it again. Is there any way on to prevent any followed account on a list from being displayed on Home, or is that purely a web-interface setting with like I suspect it might be? I haven’t had a chance to dig into the web settings yet. Figured I’d openly ask the air.

    @Bluedepth@mastodon.social avatar

    @FediTips Yup, found it. It exists for each list itself. It's a curious place to put the function, but once I see where it is, it does make sense, so we're set. Thanks :)

    Philosophical Question: How much of Kanye West's body must be replaced with metal before we stop thinking of the rapper as a Nazi, and begin to consider that he may have transformed into a new robotic entity with the potential to change his hateful pre-mechanical beliefs?

    @lowqualityfacts Kanye West has succumbed to Warhol poisoning. You see, fame is a force, measured in units called Warhols. Most people dabble in microwarhols of fame, maybe a few people know their name, that sort of thing. Much like lead poisoning, a little fame isn’t really all that bad, a human can endure 1 lifetimes worth of Warhol, that’s fifteen minutes of total fame, and then it should be over. If it continues, then… this is what happens.
