Amid all the climate scepticism, those who only look at the financials have something to say that should resonate with their banking cousins! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How the Female Scientist Who Discovered the Greenhouse Gas Effect Was Forgotten by History

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

€300m plan to buy massive naval ship may be changed as officers seek more combat-oriented craft

The rise of the cheap, daily newspaper in the 19th century created the first true attention economy—an endless churn of spectacle and sensation that remade the American mind, Jake Lundberg writes in Time-Travel Thursdays.

An important message.

This is a phenomenal operation!

Orson Welles has a new gig — despite being dead since 1985 — thanks to AI. His voice has been digitally re-created "using licensed audio from his estate." Which reminds me of something the real Welles once said: "I hate almost everything in the modern world.” variety.com/2025/digital... #FilmSky

This week @theaircurrent.com published my 35-page report on the past, present and future of Ukraine’s drone war, an enormous undertaking that actually started with a post on BlueSky. 1/

My first time visiting the Sliabh Liag cliffs and simply blown away by the pure rugged beauty. A photo cannot capture I’m afraid, so make the visit yourself - you will not be disappointed.

Significant lack of Canada Goose in that crowd marching in Letterkenny!

NEWS: Law firms that made deals w/Trump worried abt losing clients if they didn't. But it looks like there is risk in the opposite direction: A major client, Microsoft, has pulled business from a firm that made a deal and gave it to a firm fighting Trump's exec order www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

"Mr Justice Paul Coffey noted the situation in relation to liability and said the incident was something that could have happened even under the watchful eye of a careful parent. He said if it went to trial there was a risk the case would be lost."

A significant amount of coverage currently about Shadow Fleets ⚓️🛳️🏴‍☠️?, but I suspect like so much - people don’t read beyond the headlines. So perhaps take a few minutes and be better informed, remembering that they can only exist if someone is buying the cargo! windward.ai/knowledge-ba...

Should I ever become the Supreme Leader, I’m hoping @anniewestdotcom.bsky.social will accept the commission 🤭

Twitter/Bluesky Listening Party for LIFE, DEATH AND DENNIS HOPPER tonight. Press play at track 1 on the audio source of your choice on the stroke of 8pm (UK time) for synchronised listening. Post comments with the hashtag #HopperListeningParty. See you there!

This is what you call two different readouts of the same meeting. Go Denmark, Go Greenland!

@johncreedon.bsky.social Two in a row #Waterboys @mickpuck.bsky.social ♥️ Next time [perhaps] Red Army Blues inclusion 😉

This is going to [rightly] hurt many “it wasn’t us!” operations who’s bosses are based in the states. www.bandt.com.au/accenture-so...

With the level of confusion Gen AI is now causing in relation to news events, it might be time for a comprehensive thread with a step-by-step guide on spotting and verifying AI-generated content, including AI audio, images and videos. It'll take some time, but is worth the effort, so stay tuned.

The thing is, most of these urban NIMBYs are older, affluent white people who have been raised their entire lives to believe that if they don't get what they want, something must be broken. They are genuinely outraged & baffled at not getting their way. It's so ... punchable.

On this day in 1983 the world heard the lines. “I can't believe the news today…I can't close my eyes and make it go away.” Perhaps the world doesn’t improve with time.

Gardaí arrest man who allegedly smashed up Dublin Airport departure gate after missed flight

To use the shallow cliché - thoughts and prayers 🙏🏼 are with the Tesla marketing team.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

42 years ago today, the highest selling 12” single of all time was released and it sounds as absolutely wonderful now, as then! youtu.be/9Bul0dJVfFQ?...

@conkennedy.com I genuinely thought these days were over!

A new bill in the WVA leg would amend the state constitution to say that the Bible is an "inerrant foundational document for our society and government, an accurate historical record of human and natural history, and the utmost authority for human moral behavior." www.wvva.com/2025/02/28/l...

Seems apt in the world currently ☹️

Dozens of inauthentic X accounts are posting coordinated, AI-generated content critical of CDU leader Friedrich Merz ahead of the German election, but failing to get any traction. Notably, they all misspell his name "Mertz", and seem to be very keen for Germany to restore energy ties with Russia.

The only reason to lie this much is doing it for money 🤷

I do think the Arts Council issue [relatively] shocking, especially when it’s used as click and headline fodder - but can’t help thinking there’s an element of…

The measles outbreak first reported in Gaines County, Texas, has doubled to 48 cases since a count released earlier this week, the Texas Department of State Health Services said Friday.

So for 2025 I'm going to lodge Re-Turn deposits into a revolut pocket. Lets see how much can be saved by Christmas. This is after week 1 Will hopefully post every Monday.
