"The world is actually using more ‘traditional biomass’ (wood, animal dung, etc.) that it did in 1800 before the fossil fuel age got underway." reeswilliame.substack.com/p/what-energ...

The decline of evidence-based reasoning represents an existential threat to collective problem-solving capability. This erosion is not random but systematic, driven by: 1. Commercial incentives that reward engagement over accuracy 1/3 🧪 #science

Still as pathetic as ever on an epistemological level. A bunch of teenagers playing at being sorcerer's apprentices while their bosses dream of enslaving the world.

"We need to distinguish between climate doomists (who see catastrophe as imminent and unavoidable) and climate risk realists (who see catastrophe as one potential future that should be avoided)."

Un empire envahissant (Soulcié)...

Some hopeful weekend reading. “This is nature’s emergency recovery mechanism. We’ve buggered almost everything up but this will still bring them back.”

Tipping points and delayed effects... This is beyond the binary alternative of "by design or by disaster". This is the new paradigm: "disaster by design".

El payaso que se creía rey, Milei, está desnudo ahora🤡. Escuchamos a sus aduladores y liberales-libertarios que solo juraban por él: El País : «La Bolsa argentina, la peor del mundo en 2025. El dólar superó los 1474 pesos y el banco central vendió 53 millones de dólares». elpais.com/economia/202...

Paradoxalement, cette focalisation sur la représentation virtuelle détourne des processus sensibles du paysage, du soin aux vivants et de leur agentivité. Cette numérisation comptable entérine une logique de contrôle technocratique des territoires, réduits à des entités exploitables et optimisables.

What we call things reveals a lot about our priorities and biases. Graphic via @reenamahajan.bsky.social

"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them."

Europe 1 : "Casseurs professionnels... Black blocs... Casseurs... Black bloc..." Ma femme, sociale-démocrate, qui est allée travailler en vélo, par SMS : "Faites attention quand vous sortirez, évitez les rues X et Y, et contournez la place Z, il y a des flics partout et ils sont chauffés à blanc."

"Society will be poorer, permanently."

i miss those days, it was nice when liberals played make believe and pretended fascists were entirely theoretical entities and the world would be just fine forever

Oh man, thank you CNN. It's been a heck of a day and I really needed the laugh.

On voit arriver cette monstruosité depuis des années et c'est effarant de constater un tel niveau d'ignorance et de naïveté sur le sujet. C'est plus qu'un lobbing en marche, ils encaissent déjà les dividendes de décennies d'intoxication et de corruption du narratif sur le climat.

Where we demonstrate that insurance and finance are fundamentally about justice.

frightening example of Stockholm Syndrome : “We need to support him so he doesn’t take away my visa.”

"AGRA's influence on agricultural policy has resulted in systemic shifts toward corporate-driven industrial agriculture, undermining food sovereignty, environmental sustainability, and agroecological practices. The organization's approach prioritizes profit-driven models".

“I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.” In tune with that. Gut feeling. Because I'm alive. I fight zombies.

Meanwhile, our education system is doing its utmost to ensure that no one has the slightest idea of what “functional biosphere integrity” means.

It seems that accumulated wealth always ends up being grabbed by the wrong people, even more so when it's collective wealth, because everyone takes it for granted and too few are prepared to stand up and defend it. A classic instance of the commons dilemma ?

James Bond villains doing their thing consistently in slow mo while we are frantically doom scrolling to amnesia. Our numbness is their power.

They should do it anyway for the environmental benefits.

Série de cinq articles lucides, sourcés et situés sur l'IA, écrit par un vrai journaliste humain qui prends soin de ses lecteurs. Pour prendre la mesure vertigineuse de ce que nous sommes en train de laisser perdre... madeinperpignan.com/author/philb...

This week's comic, inspired by a study showing that AI summaries on top of search results are dramatically cutting traffic to websites.

Ce genre d'action ponctuelle en apparence légitime mais sans vision stratégique ni évaluation des rapports de force sont en effet rapidement exploitées et rendues totalement contre-productives. fr.wikisource.org/wiki/L%E2%80...

"Cette étude confirme de nombreux résultats récents issus d’observations épidémiologiques. Elle indique surtout, avec un haut niveau de preuve, que les aliments ultratransformés (AUT) sont délétères, indépendamment de la quantité de calories ingérées". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Bienvenue dans le nouvel âge des PsyOps.

"The missing 22-25 year-olds haven’t been replaced by AI—they’ve been reclassified. Instead of appearing in payroll databases as employees, they’re invoicing as independent contractors and platform freelancers .../... to shed labor protections and overhead costs."

"Désinformation à l’extérieur, isolement cognitif à l’intérieur". "Z-littérature", endoctrinement, soumission à l'arbitraire et répression. 25 ans d'engloutissement dans une distopie totalitaire.

It's essentially proof of the strength of will combined with an acute reading of reality, against the damaging power of uninformed but self-fulfilling words. Multi-level power struggle.

This is a useful piece of knowledge but how come this has to be demonstrated given that these poisons are sublethal by design? Staying below any obviously alarming direct effect is what was played out in the first place.

isthisacoup.com stalled in march 2025. I knew it even then. The absence of something means something.

The usual grab, abuse, discard policy.

Where we can also read a few confessions of betrayal: "The European Union has demonstrated an ability to change in the past, but adapting to the neoliberal order was relatively straightforward compared to today's challenges".

An exceptional achievement in the field of genetic engineering, but an irrelevant answer to the problem.

"Propaganda-as-a-service" hits the bull's-eye.

“What are the values of the people who push ‘AI’s’ ‘inevitability,’ and what are their actual goals?”

Here we should introduce the Anti-Bullshit Subsidy: a simple yet radical principle recognizing that some people would be better paid to do nothing at all except take care of themselves.

It is, of course, as futile as it is pretentious to imagine that artifacts could liberate us from our own stupidity. All evidence suggests that they merely amplify its effects.

Promise: AI will advance medicine and improve people's health. Reality: time.com/7308925/elon...

The technology doesn't work, but never mind, let's make its faulty output the rule of law. It might wrongfully flag random people now and then, but who really cares, right?

Nothing says healthy democracy like a little North Korean ambiance.
