It's interesting that what we understand about bodies (you can't get stronger by sitting beside a machine that lifts weights) seems less well understood about minds. I don't think you can get more artful or more wise by sitting beside a machine that makes art or paraphrases ideas.

Hopefully all these organizations can now be free from American hegemony and actually do what they need to do rather than be blocked as they've been for the last few decades from their full capacity. Europe needs to pony up some money now.

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/w... “Antisemitism is on the rise, Jews are feeling intimidated, and they are being attacked,” said Mr. Marmorstein, spokesperson for the Israel Foreign Ministry. Gee, no connection with Palestine? It's not like Zionists are creating antisemitism, could it be?

Competition is killing the next generation. Students and kids are so hyper worried that they will fail, or not be able to compete, that they often preemptively shut down, even with all the prodding and encouragement my generation never got. What is causing this hyper-sensitivity to criticism?

And since white collar crimes like wage theft, tax evasion, and environmental violations are rarely charged, the disparity here should actually be much bigger.

Everybody thinks that their little world is the world. They confuse it quite legitimately because that's the only world they know. But no matter how big your little world is, it's still just your little world. It's not the world as it is simpliciter.

Should You Have Kids? Choosing whether or not to have children has been a critical component of cultures around the world for millennia, and the choosing not to has always been as important as the choosing to. Read the full piece now on Planet: Critical: www.planetcritical.com/should-you-h...

Using a machine learning technique that compares molecular fingerprints left behind by living organisms, researchers have detected signs of photosynthetic life in rocks 2.5 billion years old— about 800 million years older than previously confirmed evidence cen.acs.org/physical-che... #chemsky 🧪

While the fossil sector is doing everything it can to drum up demand, the economics are shifting inexorably towards renewables and cleaner electric.

"More than 6,500 jobs and $2.5 billion in investments have been lost in New York due to the Trump administration’s energy policies." An self-made American tragedy: www.eenews.net/articles/tho...

We could be doing all of these things -- states of exception -- but instead of for fascism and starvation, for benefiting climate, nature, the poor, and democracy. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

Of course terrorists impersonating terrorists was the natural outcome of all of this. www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

This research provides a critical step in understanding the Atlas Network, and an important example of the scale and influence of disinformation campaigns.

"every time you hear a piece of good news about the explosive growth of clean energy, it’s worth remembering that the benchmark in question likely could have been met in 2005, rather than 2025, if not for Big Oil’s climate deception" @aaronregunberg.bsky.social banger in @newrepublic.com -->>>>>

This is great because what it's telling us is that we are being heuristic hacked and that we need to. Then in a sense repudiate all of our heuristics that we've taken taking tokens of types which were not actual tokens of that type.

Just a reminder that Bill Gates turns into the most rancid fatalist doomer dude in nanoseconds when the prospect of taking any real action on climate comes up

I can think of at least seven ways fossil fuel producers could wiggle out of this, but still: holy shit this is huge.

The days of free AI are over. Like any other addiction, it's free until you get hooked. Then it gets expensive. I don't think many but a few companies will keep paying for a low-utility, high-fascination service.

For those at the back

A very effective shifting of the Overton window.

A Prof G analysis of ChatGPT data found work-related prompts fell from 47% in 2022 to 27% in 2025; ChatGPT has 76% market share. As my Markets cohost Ed Elson said, “the bull case for AI is that it’s going to transform work, but what we’re learning is it’s mostly just affecting your personal life.”

I like that this oil industry trade publication can no longer ignore the obvious but also uses a pun. Anyway, going to be a bad year for your oil investments.

How does anyone keep track of anything these days?!

Microsoft publicly admitted that it can't stop US authorities from conducting secret surveillance of EU citizens' (and EU governments') data, even when that data is stored on server in the EU: www.forbes.com/sites/emmawo...

The more I try, observe, and experiment the more I think that the deepest opportunities to transform systems are dismissed as too simple and humble and the biggest and snazziest things people (and funders) gravitate towards are the least transformative.

In #Utrecht, an astonishing 60% of journeys are made by bike—and just 5% by car—making it one of the world's most cycle-friendly cities. This is not an accident, but the deliberate result of infrastructure investments that prioritise resident's physical and mental health. #SmartCities #biking

1.000.000 Abos weniger! Eine fatale Entscheidung: Seit der Erhöhung auf 58 Euro wenden sich immer mehr Menschen vom Deutschlandticket ab. Dabei brauchen wir klimafreundliche und bezahlbare Mobilität dringender denn je.
