Just to complete the Epstein -> Lomborg -> Gates -> Triangle...

@rtakver.bsky.social broke this story late last year...

Bill Gates Gave $3.5M to Think Tank Run by Climate Crisis Denier Bjorn Lomborg
Tax records reveal that the billionaire’s foundation has donated for years to Lomborg’s Copenhagen Consensus Center.

When Russians in Abu Dhabi were saying something about territories, Budanov (head of UA intelligence) would turn to the speaker:

- Excuse me, could you remind me of your surname? And he would jot something down in his little notebook.

After that, Russians no longer spoke about the territories

This is a great ad. In a „this could only be made by humans“ kind of way.
I had to screen record this one, it’s so bad. A visual artist who has Claude develop a “shot list” from his notes. Embarrassing. Also pretty interesting how little of this is about AI? Three years in and this is the best they’ve got. Embarrassing! Shameful!

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote:

"To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace."

No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

What’s interesting about this graph is that it looks like the population income distribution in a late stage capitalist system.
Check out our new insect decline paper. By analysing 36 yrs of German ground beetle distribution data, we show:
- ~80% of species have declined, with significant declines for >50%.
- The decline was similar across species traits and threatened status.

There is nothing more dystopian than Palestinians sending me their PayPal links in DMs to receive a lifeline. They are more likely to receive help from strangers on social media than the Western corruptocrats and Zionist butchers that genocided them. SAVE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

ICE vehicles waste a whopping 80% of the energy in their fuel.

Electric vehicles are propelled by entirely different mechanisms. Energy enters the vehicle as electricity, which directly powers the drivetrain: EVs need not convert one form of energy to another resulting in much higher efficiency.

Yes, shoot them down.

Turkey did it without hesitation.

It’s the only language Putin understands.

Hot take: Apple introducing this whole new UI system and at the same time time cluttering the system settings with various options to undo this new look is an indication of how lost their design and product teams are.

Great thread overall by @jonasnahm.com

I tend to think that the US withdrawal overall will open the doors for more instability and conflict.

But. Much of the US dominated order is based on capitalist colonialism and fossil fuel supremacy. All that can’t end soon enough.
11/11 At the moment when climate action is most urgent and clean energy is becoming the cheapest power source globally, the US is walking away from the ambition to lead (or participate) in that transition. China is ready to fill that vacuum.

This is why the #Solarpunk movement is so important.

It is a way to get people excited about what an ecologically harmonious future could look like.

Our species is very story-driven and that's why we need stories about radical hope to keep us fighting the good fight.

Couldn't agree more.

This ought to also be major part of any discussion about #degrowth. Being pro-degrowth doesn't mean being anti-technology. It's all about prudent, deliberate and democratically determined usage and deployment of tech.
Luddites weren't anti-tech.

They were against technology being used by the capitalist class to capture wealth at the expense of the worker.

I am a Luddite, and a tech enthusiast. They're not in opposition. I want technology that makes MY life better, not that sells my life piecemeal to corps.
I hate crypto, I hate online gambling, I hate AI, I hate pay-later, I hate subscription models, I hate the gig economy, I hate ring cameras, I hate drones, I hate self checkout.

I don't want to come off as a luddite but capitalism's hold on tech sucks.

‼️ Putin seeks to restore Russia as a great empire in Europe and will therefore continue attempts to subjugate the former Soviet republics and collapse NATO, — Opinion in Bloomberg

More effective is to undermine confidence in Article 5 on collective defense, which is the basis of the alliance.
