A lot of my Mastodon friends are complaining that the NYT and other mainstream press underplayed Dick Cheney’s endorsement of Harris. Honestly, I don’t think it was that egregious. They covered it. It’s not earthshaking.
This is what’s earthshaking and egregious. In 2024, while we watch the world burning and flooding, EVERYBODY understands we’re seeing a climate crisis and our future is in the balance. Everybody, that is, except one crackpot who could become president.

1. Trump rant not covered by the US press: "You know, when I hear these poor fools talking about global warming. They don't call it that any more, they call it climate change because you know, some parts of the planet are cooling and warming, and it didn't work. So they finally got it right, they just call it climate change. They used to call it global warming. You know, years ago they used to call it global cooling. In the 1920s they thought the planet was going to freeze. Now they think the planet's going to burn up. And we're still waiting for the 12 years. You know we're down almost to the end of the 12-year period, you understand that, where these lunatics that know nothing, they weren't even good students at school, they didn't even study it, they predict, they said we have 12 years to live. And people didn't have babies because they said - it's so crazy. But the problem isn't the fact that the oceans in 500 years will raise a quarter of an inch, the problem is nuclear weapons. It's nuclear warming ... These poor fools talk about global warming all the time, you know the planet's going to global warm to a point where the oceans will rise an eighth of an inch in 355 years, you know, they have no idea what's going to happen. It's weather."
