It's a pleasant surprise to see @carlpope admit that he & other enviros downplayed methane emissions in 2010s. But a full mea culpa would mention that @SierraClub vocally supported fracked gas [& took petro $] for years after the Dimock catastrophe nytimes.com/2025/06/23/opi…

jerolmack's tweet card. Governments and U.S. states committed to climate action now need to persuade the oil industry to protect the world from climate chaos.

Another year, another wonderful Wild Animal Welfare Summit at NYU, with a terrific set of lightning talks, group discussions, breakout sessions, and vegan meals — along with one very attentive dog. Thanks so much to all who attended!

“The healthiest, tastiest way to eat is also the most compassionate and least polluting,”. RIP to legendary environmental and animal defender John Robbins (Diet for a New Planet”). An heir to Baskin Robbins, he rejected the family business to advocate for a plant-based diet.

Why did this @nytimes paean to wood pigeons need to shit on other pigeons? Rock pigeons aren't more "messy diseased & persistent pests" than wood pigeons & other urban animals. It's nonsensical to call urban wood pigeons "innocent" & rock doves "hardened" nytimes.com/2025/06/24/mag…

jerolmack's tweet card. The European wood pigeon helped me appreciate its omnipresent city cousins.

Maybe Zohran wins an election 2 weeks ago, and maybe Lander or someone would emerge if you had another month to go. Markets have Cuomo back as a 3:1 favorite for now though.

So great to see this book out in the world

JJohn Sanbonmatsu@SanbonmatsuJ · Jun 17

After 12+ years of labor, my book is finally out. I chronicle the rise of the meat industry, show its catastrophic ecological effects, demolish the myth of the "enlightened" omnivore, show why animals are worthy of our respect, and advocate total abolition of the animal economy.
