If Kevin Barry wrote a sci-fi novel it would have places like this. The county of Death - where the great Whist happened. The break away neo-fuedal data centre dystopia of Loggoad. And poor auld Carlow wiped off the map - with a tactical nuke during the commuter rebellions of the 2040s.

“We’re at this moment where we’re really trying to understand what is a real commitment to saving our planet and what is public relations,” said Jennifer Jacquet, one of the report’s authors. “And a lot of this is public relations.” Share This Article insideclimatenews.org/news/2204202...

or diverging even further from the EU, with a majority of voters (53%) in favour and just a third (32%) opposed. Support for rejoining the EU is also highest among Labour (83%), Liberal Democrat (84%) and Green Party (82%) supporters with more than 3 in 5 (63-69%) of each strongly supporting this.

🚨🚨New @bestforbritain.org report argues I think convincingly that a push for UK membership of the EU would galvanise support among progressive voters, recognising that other halfway options such as customs union or EEA are would offer to limited benefits. 🧵 www.bestforbritain.org/push_for_eu_...

A lot earlier than that. Switzerland had 80% of its network electrified before the Second World War (so more than 85 years ago). And now, the entire network is electrified (But it's the only European country with Luxembourg). On the other way, France has only 55% of its network electrified.

you are telling me french engineers figured out high speed rail 45 years ago? and made trains all electric after the 1970s oil crises? daaaammm. so when there is yet another oil crisis in 2026, they are all just.....fine??? bsky.app/profile/lucd...

This appeared on my personal facebook memories this morning and made me chuckle too much to not share.

Virginia voters approved an aggressive Democratic redistricting plan, and now “Trump’s move to open this new front in a centuries-old gerrymandering war between the parties looks like an enormous tactical blunder,” @russellberman.bsky.social reports.

Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon. They've released smog into the air in Memphis. And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks. Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?

And just to be abundantly clear: NASA AND SCIENCE IN GENERAL HAVE MASSIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT. Cutting this budget is a net financial LOSS in the medium- to long-term. It undermines our future -- intellectually, technologically, and economically.

1 - Scuola di dottorato. Oggi giornata su open data. Primo speaker ci assegna compiti. Primo compito: cercare in vari paesi a noi assegnati un dataset di alto valore sugli edifici che abbia certi attributi previsti dall'implementazione della direttiva Open Data per i cosiddetti high value dataset👇

Un grazie di cuore a Filippo Thiery per questo regalo e onore. E un grazie infinito a tutti voi che mi abbracciate sempre con le vostre parole e i vostri pensieri gentili 💙 Occhi al cielo, sempre! ✨

Molto interessante. Il mio primo pensiero è stato che parlasse della attuale ricerca scientifica negli Stati Uniti, giusto per dire come è messa ormai la mia testa

Uomo di 65 anni che da tempo insulta i vicini perché odia arabi e neri. Ha smantellato una panchina perché non li voleva vedere seduti lì, ha costretto una siriana a trasferirsi perché la insultava ogni volta che usciva e indossavs il velo. Un giorno prende il fucile, va dove giocano dei bambini

Atlantic Ocean sensors confirm a consistent two-decade decline in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Data from four mooring arrays across the western boundary verify a weakening transport signal below 1,000 meters, validating concerns of long-term circulation shifts.

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

Jewish trauma is real. The Holocaust was real. Antisemitism is real. And none of that makes the genocide of the Palestinians and Lebanese any less real.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

EU: The European Union will require sale of mobile phones with “user-replaceable and longer-lasting batteries” starting in 2027. The regulation demands “availability of spare parts and manuals for 10 years to curb planned obsolescence”.

Stasera la Luna era abbracciata alle Pleiadi. Purtroppo c'è stato solo qualche squarcio tra le nubi, quando ancora non era notte. Le ninfe si intravedono però 🙂
