Every flimsy, asburd rationalisation that lefties and progressives have been using to keep using the abuse application becomes an argument against banning it, too. Congrats folks, hope you enjoy it

Es gibt keinen KEINEN römisch-katholischen US-Bischof, der brüllend auf Polizei losgeht. Das sind ALLES, IMMER KI-Fakes.

Was es gibt: Mutige Gläubige und Geistliche, die stinknormal gegen Trump protestieren. Stärkt die Richtigen, blockt die Falschen.

What I find interesting about this case is that these people have even heard about Plato. Not sure this is the case for ambitious fascists over here in Europe.
“We cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.”

IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors.

Not even Plato can escape censorship at Texas A&M!

Done.

Closed that stupid LinkedIn account which only kept nagging about a paid membership and about this or that person in this or that "industry" who had looked at my profile.

I realize there are some good accounts over there, but I can't have this nagging anymore. Come here or to the fediverse!

Gerade angesichts der Ereignisse in Venezuela führt für uns Europäer kein Weg daran vorbei, diese Realität anzuerkennen und ein Gegenmodell anzubieten, das das Recht des Stärkeren nicht zur politischen Methode macht.

The real question the picture is asking me is this: how much actual transportation service can you get out of these expensive and space- and energy-craving heaps of steel, plastic, lithium and glass, as compared to a decent walkable city structure along with reasonable public transport?

I agree of course - but I also notice that there exist quite closed circles of citation, in climate science and elsewhere. As soon as you go a little broader in interdisciplinarity, things are a lot less simple. And sometimes we don't cite because not all papers really bring important new findings.
Still waiting for the Climate Working Group (TM) to respond to the many critiques of the DOE-commissioned report, but meanwhile the hits keep coming...

Trump team plans to break up ‘global mothership’ of climate science

This "new" policy advocates against "ideological" issues and they are dominated by ideology in the bad sense

Can I say that, as long as you don't mention the specific case, your claim is not very helpful? I can think of a lot of papers which I don't refer to all the time. Am I "canceling" them then?
So much trash in this Matt Yglesias NYT rant but this specific bit where has has a go at @doctorvive.bsky.social is absurd even for him.

Eliminating fossil fuels is basic fundamental science shit, not environmentalist shit
