RE: https://discuss.systems/@kali/115923421713213904 for the #electrical #engineers on here: this stuff will be very easily accessible to you. you could read through it right away.

#systemsthinking 101 #systemsdynamics proposed that every possible issue can best be understood by envisioning it as an interconnected whole consisting of - stocks - flows - feedbacks and delays.

Also since I'm on Russia 2022, a nice reminder that this absolute turnip has been loudly declaring who he is for four years now

May I once again not-at-all-humbly reiterate what I said back in 2022: the centrist brain-worm that "energy security" comes from crawling from dependence on one fossil fuel supplier to another is absolute bullshit: Europe could and should have been reducing gas reliance faster for the past 3 years

regarding the #oil #resources #venezuela discussion, here is a thing to really have a hard think about. - the US easy to get, cheap oil is on its way out, it peaked in the 70s, US conventional oil fields as a group are in terminal decline - US production has been sustained by unconventional […]

Very proud to be appointed to the board of the European Petrochemical Association; my first act will be announcing an immediate end to all single-use plastic production, an immediate shutdown in all facilities polluting vulnerable communities and a payrise for me of a trillion dollars

you know this is the reason why i am so disappointed in the like "deep green" #systems branch of my ex-#environmental community, that they somehow make at least the effort to envision the convergence of tumpism and all those other predicaments and most of them - they just can't do it. from […]

heinberg however was right. by omitting and postponing the existential question of wealth and resource distribution and consumption and the limits to such accumulation liberal societies have now created their own worst nightmare. "grab the oil", right? he knows nothing about oil. it is a power […]

how. ever. so "#trump upended the #worldorder". let's do some semantics. which "world order"? the one that has been upened by COVID? the one that has been upended by putin when he attacked ukraine? how many time has trump upended it by now. don't you think […] [Original post on discuss.systems]

i just have to reflect on a thing i just have seen, which is the part of my #climate bubble (which are #scientists, among them one complexity scientist) still with their account on #X effing debating to "bring back science on #X" to then proceed debate with […] [Original post on discuss.systems]

when it all comes down, and it will, i have little doubt about that by now, please promise me that y'all will not forget and cozy up with those US so-called "#progressives" who would rather watch it all burn to the ground than lift their ass of the sofa and #vote, not to mention resisting #trump […]

the world as it is, it's like it's almost dream like... 🍃

Global stock markets are bracing for falls when trading resumes on Monday after Donald Trump threatened eight European countries with fresh #tariffs until they support his ambition to acquire #greenland. The US president’s plan to impose new trade levies of 10% on goods from Denmark, Norway […]

the threat is basically: hand me over #greenland or my own #voters will be paying a lot more for products! to which i say: LOL #trump #tariffs #uspol

Where would you rather live?

If I was an entrepreneurial American, I'd be buying every single Greenland national football team shirt I could get my hands on, because when the World Cup comes around, they're going to be like gold dust.

RE: https://discuss.systems/@kali/115915376489495434 just i anyone was wondering if #germans are protesting #trump in any meaningful way - erm - yeah.

fun story from germany: leftist pro and anti #palestine protesters clashed yesterday and then some nazis came and some of them protest WITH one or both of the groups, it isn't exactly clear to me, however it ended in complete chaos LMAO. #germany #smh […]

at times i think #socialmedia is what it is regardless of the platform, just because people are people and they are addicted to it an won't just STFU and have a nice day. #fediverse

also don't be a #replyguy, which is a person which is on the internet in order to randomly reply with low-effort or off topic posts, mostly out of boredom as it seems (of which we have some). don't do that and we're cool. #bluesky #mastodonmigration

i have to be honest, please don't take my word for the gospel, it is just how i feel about this. i am an old school internet power user, i basically spend my life on here from the early 90s on & this entire #parasocial "hello YOU random person you are welcome to the #fediverse" doesn't sit right […]

“Oh, Minnesota,” #trump told the crowd, dropping into the just-you-&-me-talking mode that has always been one of his greatest assets as a politician. “You know what’s going on. You know what I’m talking about. Do you know what I’m talking about? Be politically correct. Just nod — quietly nod […]

From the perspective of the fedi, both #bluesky and #threads are like HUGE FEDI SERVERS. this makes disconnecting from them tough because you're giving up the connection (imperfect as it is) to a lot of people. I don't recommend it. but their size also makes moderation difficult. if they had […]

orinoco belt oil. just so you see what the problem is with this type of oil. it is basically H2S toothpaste. #venezuela https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTf7FtbkkLj/

That's why I'm still on #bluesky, and why I post there every other week 😅 #blueskyice #icebluesky

theory: windows are just a human zoo displays for #pigeons. (i am being watched)

you guys about this #bluesky stuff: i know it is a optics-thing and it is a #nazi bar now, etc, but you should not be planning any like #protest activity in the open on the interwebs, that is what #signal is for.

i should post more pigeons and more liminal. and more systems, of course.

Last night, I attended a night photography workshop in Utrecht. It was drizzling, so there was a lot of lens cleaning to do (not enough 🫣). But it was fun to go out with a group of photographers. So, I will bright up your timeline with some dark pictures. 😊 #photography #nightphotography #utrecht

Not sure this counts as a timeline cleanse but check out the weird little cars I made

WATCH: “It’s not bad at all to be Russia in this new world.” If you don’t believe us that Trump’s assault on Greenland and dismantling of NATO is a gift to (order from?) Putin, here’s Russian state TV spelling it out. (H/T @juliadavisnews.bsky.social )

To recap: A regime that pardoned actual insurrectionists is calling Americans protesting those very insurrectionists now wearing masks and terrorizing black and brown people “insurrectionists”

“Lifeless… foam around his mouth. Nobody wants to see their kids like that.” ICE attacked a family trying to LEAVE the besieged neighborhood and hospitalized a 6 month old baby that couldn’t breathe.

RE: https://discuss.systems/@kali/115904538574280899 maybe what would be really interesting to look at would be which variables are able to recover in between shocks. #trump #systemsthinking @systemsthinking

trying to come up with a "#systemsdynamics of #trump" literally breaks my brain. systems dynamics assumes some degree of coherence, stable goals, consistent response. trump breaks all of that, constantly. he is basically a stress test. #systemsthinking
