Twas ever thus. Skräckpropaganda säljer.

Please take a minute to scroll through this—and share it. It's the story of our time. The Authoritarian Stack: How Tech Billionaires Are Building a Post-Democratic American—And Why Europe Is Next. www.authoritarian-stack.info

Jättebra text! 🙌 Vi behöver inte optimism utan realism. För övrigt tror jag att de allra flesta inte fattat detta: ”1,5-gradersmålet är inte en random gräns som någon satt på måfå. Det är en nivå som möjliggör för oss att leva ett tryggt och säkert liv på vår enda planet.”

Fascinating thread 👇

Some really big news dropped in animal rights world last week that was made possible only by extremely competent activism—a top breeder of dogs for lab experimentation will shut down. So I wrote about it and what it means and says about science, etc. gift link: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

As global warming intensifies storms, droughts and wildfires, scientists warn that “the window to prevent the worst outcomes is rapidly closing.” Read about the new report on the state of the climate in @latimes.com: www.latimes.com/environment/... Read the full report: doi.org/10.1093/bios...

😂 Translation in alt text!

There's increasing awareness of the role the animal ag industry plays in climate obstruction, but this new book brings all the peer-reviewed research on the subject together in one place and it's 🤯. drilled.media/podcasts/dri...

Those lentil-loving eco-warriors at the *checks notes* the CBI are at it again, reminding everyone that the demolition of the political consensus on climate action is very bad for investment, security, and competitiveness. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520714...

Why are swedes and norwegians whining so pitifully about a few wolves?

🙌

One unrealistic study showed a hyped product work, another better one showed it doesn’t. Media went with massive headlines promoting the first one…

We can use the money better ways!!!

😂

WUT?!

Ukraine war briefing: Attack cutting power to Chornobyl nuclear plant a ‘global threat’, says Zelenskyy

Can we please get a serious discussion on society about why nuclear power is by far too risky?

Fight misinformation with misinformation. Coal causes autism and also makes straight white men sterile. Spread the word. 👌

Just your annual reminder to raise a glass to Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov who on this date in 1983 saved ALL our lives when he decided to wait for evidence in stead of passing on the message that could have caused armageddon.

The quote below is from Naomi Oreskes, co-author of "Merchants of Doubt". She calls the beef industry "the moo-chants of doubt".

As I’ve been saying. Set aside 30% of the forest for nature and biodiversity, and use the rest as tree plantations - for building materials, paper and packaging, etc. This should not be more controversial than our use of farmland.

Jag begriper inte varför Svenskt näringsliv tror att de vinner på att svenskarna blir färre och mindre utbildade. Vi har byggt upp nationen som en plats för högteknologiska företag. Terminsavgifter för högre utbildning, slopad folkbildning och mindre invandring är det sista vi behöver.

The solar revolution means that power can be decentralized, democratized, distributed far more justly. So it makes perfect and hideous sense, given the nostalgia of authoritarians for a golden age (of exclusion, exploitation, and inequality ), to tie themselves to all fossil fuel's problems.

🧵 Authoritarianism, Democratization, and Coalition Politics. The consensus around here is, more or less, that the United States is currently a consolidating authoritarian regime controlled by a mix of reactionary populists and fascists.

Sant.

Wow, the pushback worked!

Skrämmande rapport från en tingsrätt där nazister i nästan total medieskugga tillåts leva rövare med rättegången. Bara Dagens ETC är på plats för att rapportera. Intresset för såväl förhandlingen som Aktivklubbs taktik bara veckor efter ministeravslöjandet borde vara högre än så här.

We are on the verge of a new Cold War, defined not by an ideological contest over the proper relationship between politics and the economy, but over the metabolic basis of modernity. Call it the Green Entente vs. the Axis of Petrostates. My latest: foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/01/e...

The IEA in 2014 saw European coal demand rising 0.1% between 2013 and 2019. In practise, it fell 30%.

Som jag brukar säga: vi kan antingen ha en officiell kulturkanon eller sluta håna de som inte kan den inofficiella. Så kan jag den som vi fick nu? Litteratur - som taget från min gymnasielärobok i svenska. Bild - sett hälften. Musik - hört 3 av 10. Film - sett 5 av 10 minns 0. Lärdom, Lag, etc - ?

If there is 'a widespread perception among much of the public' that egg-stealing goblins hide in their attic you don't address their 'legitimate concerns' by declaring a war on attic goblins, you point out loudly & confidently the truth: that their beliefs are insane, propagated by nasty crackpots.

Jag ser fram emot att se Moderaterna och Kristdemokraterna omfamna Återställ våtmarkerna.

There is nothing inherently wrong with the Earth 400k years ago. The problem is that humans evolved to live in the climate we have today, and we built our infrastructure for today's climate. The same goes for the animals and plants that we love and love to eat. Climate change is pain for everyone.

Bra! Jag ser gärna V i en kommande regering men det är ju under förutsättning att de inte tillåter grov antisemitism. ”Det är skönt att veta att Nooshi Dadgostar inte använder ett parti grundat av en SS-soldat som måttstock för vad som räknas som antisemitism”.

Time to step it up on marine protection, @ec.europa.eu

Good point.

If you want some slow TV over the next few days, Swedish TV is live streaming the relocation of a 113 year old wooden church in Kiruna. It's being shifted to a new site 5km away. www.svtplay.se/video/KnDgQ9...

”😂 AI uses me as often as any kind of sentence-obsessive who’s ever stared at a line like it owed them rent.”

This is fascinating. The fall of Rome in a speedrun version. They could as well have appointed a horse.

Please help share the important work of these folks - the plastics treaty negotiations are at a critical juncture and they're up against very powerful forces --->>>

This!

The US just keeps getting worse. It’s fascinating to watch it crumble in real time. Reminds me of Turkey when Erdogan decided to go full dictator and give up on EU membership.

Jättebra reklamfilm! 👏

Again - stay the hell away from the US!

Fascinating work but equally a masterclass in science communication

This has always been clear: plant-based meat alternatives are better for the planet and, at least compared to red meat, better for your health. That this is not widely accepted is the product of meat industry disinfo, science illiteracy, and some very stupid journalists. www.cnn.com/2025/07/21/h...

Same story every time.

There are a lot of complaints about food prices. My sympathy is limited for the well-of westerners who put 1/3 of their food budget towards snacks, alkohol, soda and the like – but I worry about the people who actually can’t afford these increases.

We were told nuclear's cost problem resulted from not building enough reactors to the same design. Sizewell C - if it goes ahead - would be the 7th and 8th of EDF's EPR design. Any ecomodernists out there want to hazard a guess as to what N is needed to deliver Nth-of-a-kind cost savings?
