BREAKING

Tennessee House Speaker @CSexton25@twitter.com secretly bought a 600K home in Nashville

He went to extensive efforts to shield the purchase from the public

It raises serious Qs about whether Sexton legally represents his district and whether he is misusing taxpayer funds

🧵

We cannot condone states who do this. If you cannot treat fellow humans with live and compassion, and cannot provide the care they need, then we have no chance of getting those same people to care for the planet by switching to cleaner, greener transport and energy.

This IS all connected.

We refuse to accept hypocrisy and hate from states like this.

The management. https://erininthemorn.substack.com/p/missouri-ag-just-banned-most-adult

I have a strong background in web dev (Node.js, PHP, UX/UI). I have some experience with Python, C++, C#. I have no problem picking up new things.

I have dabbled in hardware design (Bluetooth LE devices, IMUs, PCB design).

I've also gotten handy with Product roles (namely, as a SAFe certified Product Owner)

Looking for a developer role - full time, or preferably, part time employment here in the US. Remote preferred.

Nintendo Switch.

me: I would like a convenient place to watch TV shows I like at a reasonable price

Netflix: only if you move back in with your parents

Disney+: you will watch 47 new Star Wars movies and like it

HBO: what if instead of that, I made myself MUCH harder to google

*HELP NEEDED*

Dear all, I am currently looking for a remote job from now until the end of this year. I am located in Singapore and have over 10 years of experience in legal, risk, compliance, procurement operations and some aspects of cybersecurity. I would be most grateful if you could boost this post. happy to forward a copy of my resume if need be. thank you so much and I really appreciate it.🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Feeling two ways about this news. Electric trucks? Awesome.
Pepsi pulling all the stops to decarbonize its significant fleet? Not so much.
In the 2nd clip on this post, Pepsico's Chief Sustainability Officer says "...by 2040, we aim to have almost 40 percent of our fleet decarbonized." That's...pretty underwhelming. https://insideevs.com/news/661934/pepsico-fleet-tesla-semi-sacramento/

For US users:

As a result of the news late last night that the US' public health emergency has ended one month early, this is probably your last chance to order free rapid test kits. https://special.usps.com/testkits

Also for those who are insured and on Medicare/Medicaid, this is also the last call to get tests at pharmacies. https://med-mastodon.com/@luckytran/110181237460925834

You name it, I've done it.

I'm on the market either for permanent hire or to consult.

Ah yes, I see the inspiration for the Rivian design now.

The White House allocating $5B from HHS for R&D on new covid vaccines and therapeutics is one of those pieces of good news that makes me feel briefly lightheaded with relief.

The funding fight on this has been a disaster for months and months and while this is not as much as I'd like to see, and it should have been new funding—that was blocked by the GOP—it's still a real thing and gives me some fresh hope.

I'm nearly 70 years old. Many of my followers here are seniors, like me, or are at least middle-aged. Most of us are angry and probably grief-stricken about what human industry is doing to the biosphere.

But what must it feel like to be a young person in your teens or your twenties and be looking toward a future of near-certain disaster, the collapse of society, destruction of everything you hold dear? I can't imagine the pain.

It would be understandable if they reacted by simply giving up. Or perhaps by lashing out in anger. But some of them, showing incredible courage and determination, have formed movements to change what they can and save at least a vestige of the civilization they are inheriting.

Sophia Kianni, Vanessa Nakate, and Greta Thunberg (@gretathunberg), three of these young climate activists, recently posted an opinion piece at Common Dreams. Let's hear what they have to say...
_________________________

President Joe Biden’s recent approval of the Willow Project in Alaska has alarmed many young people and once again made us question his seriousness about addressing the climate crisis before it is too late. As if that were not enough, the Biden administration is also auctioning off more than 73 million acres of waters in the Gulf of Mexico to offshore oil and gas drilling — double the size of the Willow Project if it goes ahead as planned. The President faced one of the greatest tests of his commitment to addressing climate change, and he failed.

Young people and members of marginalized communities are the ones who will bear the brunt of the consequences of the escalating climate emergency. The rubber-stamping of such projects sends a message not just to our generation but humanity as a whole: The future of our planet and the present well-being of frontline communities are being sacrificed for short-term economic gain and political expediency.

Scientists warn us that crossing the threshold of 1.5°C could trigger multiple climate tipping points, leading to irreversible and dangerous impacts with serious implications for humanity. The Willow Project, set to produce 600 million barrels of oil and generate roughly 278 million tons of carbon emissions, goes directly against the word of climate scientists.

As young people who will inherit a burning planet, we are gravely concerned about the long-term impact of the Willow Project and the precedent it sets for future decisions on climate and energy policy. We have said it before and we say it again: We need system change, not climate change. We need people in power who show real climate leadership, who will work with young people and stand by their promises.

That means stopping the Willow project and ensuring there can be no more of its kind. It is the only way to secure a livable planet for all. It is also a chance to listen to our generation and take the first important steps away from a broken political system where leaders care more about short-term political gain than our collective future.
