Indonesia’s shift to cleaner cooking fuels has greatly improved air quality and health—

In 2000, less than 10% of the population in Indonesia had access to clean cooking fuels. This is now over 90%, as the chart shows.

First off, a heartfelt thank you to all of you who’ve sent such lovely messages. And to the business at hand: the great Italian foodwriter, Anna del Conte, introduced me to this storecupboard standby (and student stalwart). Yes, #RecipeOfTheDay is Marmite Spaghetti! www.nigella.com/recipes/spag...

I came across this recipe in Anna Del Conte's memoirs, Risotto with Nettles. Now, there are so many recipes I could borrow from her, and many I have, but this is the one I have to show you here. She i...

Usuário do bluesky, se você coloca uma foice e um martelo junto ao seu nome, eu imagino que você teve uma educação ruim e/ou é uma pessoa sem vergonha na cara.

‘A implementação do mosquito modificado está realmente reduzindo a incidência da dengue', diz cientista brasileiro destaque na Nature
Como um cavalo de Troia, Aedes aegypti modificados para carregarem uma bactéria chamada Wolbachia, que impede a replicação dos vírus da dengue, zika e chikungunya, têm se disseminado em cidades brasileiras e, aos poucos, substituído as populações antigas dos mosquitos.

💸 COME TO BRAZIL

🌍 Os gastos de estrangeiros no Brasil chegaram a US$ 7,86 bilhões em 2025, o maior nível desde 1994, início do Plano Real. Os dados foram divulgados pelo Banco Central e refletem recorde de turistas e a maior desvalorização do dólar frente ao real desde 2016.

Katie Miller: classical liberal democracy is woke leftist ideology

Anyway, get a Claude subscription.
@KatieMiller Co-Founder of Anthropic: “My deep loyalty is to the principles of classical liberal democracy.” If this is what they say publicly, this is how their AI model is programmed. Woke and deeply leftist ideology is what they want you to rely upon. Quote Chris Olah @ch402 · 16h I try to not talk about politics. I generally believe the best way I can serve the world is as a non-partisan expert, and my genuine beliefs are quite moderate. So the bar is very high for me to comment. But recent events – a federal agent killing an ICU nurse for seemingly no reason and with no provocation – shock the conscience. My deep loyalty is to the principles of classical liberal democracy: freedom of speech, the rule of law, the dignity of the human person. I immigrated to the United States – and eventually cofounded Anthropic here – believing it was a pillar of these principles. I feel very sad today.
