Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza.
Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. I’m sure they won’t be the last to announce a boycott.

BTW are you hiring for your design team? I have zero experience, I think I'd be an excellent candidate.

Electrification + efficiency — not rolling back climate policy — is the real path to a competitive European industry.
High fossil fuel prices hit industry hardest, not the Green Deal. Undermining clean-energy commitments would only push investment elsewhere.

Why electrification, not repealing green laws, will save Europe's industry
According to Oxford professor of energy Jan Rosenow, rapid electrification of Europe's industry, not rolling back the EU's Green Deal, will save European industry.

Damn. I'd even been thinking of switching to Vercel since they've been supporting Svelte and other good projects. Not anymore. They will not get a penny of my money in the future.
This is grotesque. I lost any love for Vercel & Next years ago, but seeing him cozy up with genocide in Gaza — is beyond words. I feel for the employees.
The horrifying truth: businesses that worked with the Nazis didn’t fall to capitalism. It’s down to us, we have to take our business elsewhere.

It’s the Vercel employees I feel most sorry for here. Working there is nothing but shame and a lot will be trapped there.
Do everything to help them move on if you can.

Drastically reduce emissions first, or carbon dioxide removal will be next to useless.

1°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1°C.
Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.

One question for AT Proto as a blog backend is whether users will want a single record in their PDS that works across Bluesky clients and custom platforms. In that case, a custom “full-length post” embed inside Bluesky’s own lexicon seems to make the most sense. I don’t want to reinvent the wheel.
