We’ve got the full list of #Palantir recipients here: purgepalantir.com/the-palantir...

We tried the carrot. Here’s the stick. #ICE is ramping up attacks against immigrants and American citizens— and #Palantir is their surveillance backbone. Go to www.purgepalantir.com/the-palantir-payroll/ for the list of dirty politicians trading our rights for Palantir $$$ — then call them out.

Jarenlang zette de Marechaussee in stilte software van het omstreden techbedrijf Palantir in om passagiersgegevens van inkomende vluchten te analyseren. Minister David van Weel wist van het contract af, maar meldde het ondanks vragen niet in de Tweede Kamer. www.ftm.nl/artikelen/mi...

It's time for everyone to start filing complaints en masse. #DigID #FuckDitKabinet

Mijn beste verklaring tot nu toe is dat de overheid gewoon Geen Zin heeft om iets met computers te moeten doen, of om dingen te moeten veranderen. En dat ze steeds alle manieren inzetten om te voorkomen dat ze dus iets anders moeten doen dan er tot nu toe gebeurt. #digid #solvinity

2/3 De politieke afweging is al door de Tweede Kamer gemaakt dat DigiD niet in Amerikaanse handen hoort. Dat is verder dus niet meer aan de staatssecretaris #digid nos.nl/artikel/2611...

Incompetentie ten top! ''Het kabinet heeft besloten dat het DigiD-contract met het cloudbedrijf Solvinity de komende twee jaar niet wordt opgezegd. Staatssecretaris Van der Burg zegt in een brief aan de Tweede Kamer'' #DigID #NL #KabinetD66 #Onsgegevenszijnnietlangerveilig

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Industrial electrification is now a security imperative, not just a climate one. Our new @ox.ac.uk @ecioxford.bsky.social analysis finds up to 90% of industrial energy demand could be electrified. The potential is there. The main constraint is policy. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2026-04...

Theres something so special about the morning light when it hits just right, and I love playing with reflections.  #birds #woodduck

✨💹 Sweden has cut 80% of its net emissions since 1990 – while growing its economy. How have they done it? And can this be a blueprint for other countries? youtu.be/vWDMI8PDIuY DW News, 2024 #Data #Renewables #EU #Sweden #Synthesis #Economics #Geopolitics #Resilience #Decarbonization #Europe

Global solar rankings as of 2025: Leaders: Total generation: China 🇨🇳, #2 US, # 3 India as Share of electricity generation.... Hungary ?? Per capita...Australia Our Electric World Order is here: pod.link/1884213852 @katemac.bsky.social @palmapolyak.bsky.social ember-energy.org/latest-insig...

Many countries combine GHG emissions and removals to get net emissions. On this accounting, Sweden has reduced its emissions from 12MtCO2-eq in 1990 to -7MtCO2-eq in 2024, a reduction of 160%! Sweden is net zero GHG emissions, already as of 2023. There there are many buts... 1/

Coal emissions in Germany are already down to 1880ies levels. openclimatedata.net/emissions/gc...

The ‘age of electricity’ is here. No one knows what comes next.

Europe keeps transitioning towards renewable energy sources. Fossil fuels still make up the majority, so don’t expect gas and coal exploration to stop in the source countries for another few decades at the least. Source: buff.ly/LOEPkRM

Just a little one trying to figure out the outside world. Enjoyed my mornings with these guys and glad to hear they are doing well. (2 videos and 3 pics) 🪶🦉

You can tell a great deal about someone, by what they choose to ignore.

The European Public Prosecutor's Office's 2025 Annual Report is out. The figures show it has a lot of potential, but it's slow on getting to financial crime within the EU's institutions themselves. Here's why🔽

New: Big Tech secures secrecy in EU data centre law, keeping critical environmental information out of reach. Microsoft and DigitalEurope – a lobby representing Amazon, Google and Meta – successfully pushed for an amendment classifying information on individual facilities as confidential.

Big Tech wrote the EU law that hides their data centres' environmental impact. The EU wants to triple its data centre capacity in the next five years. While the full scale of their energy and water footprint is hidden from the public. Our new @investigate-europe.eu investigation reveals why.

✨''The European Council emerged informally in 1974, under Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, as a deliberate counterweight: heads of government carving out a room of their own, outside the Community method, where they could set the political agenda without the Commission driving it.'' #EU #EUCO #history

Meanwhile, the EU has released its new AccelerateEU package today to address the energy crisis emanating from the Strait of Hormuz. I will be providing a deep dive into this suite of initiatives—a blend of "copy and paste" measures from the 2022–2023 crisis

This wild document is the basis for the State Department's decision to cancel the visas and green cards of tech researchers who study the social media platforms and of tech regulators who enforce privacy and transparency laws. Disclosed to us last night in @thecoalition.bsky.social v. Rubio.

Cladonia fimbriata, Trumpet Lichen. It is rare to see it with apothecia; but these do: on the margins of the distorted cups (scyphi). On rotten wood in Alder Carr woodland, West Sussex. #LichenGBI @britishlichensociety.org.uk

In heel het land en bijna kamerbreed is de oproep ‘Stop de Amerikaanse overname van DigiD’. Dat mag het kabinet niet negeren. De vraag is niet kunnen we de overname stoppen of niet. De vraag is wat is onze digitale identiteit ons waard? Hierover moeten we zsm in debat www.trouw.nl/politiek/kab...
