Microsoft - a preferred supplier of Dutch government - and Meta shared names of civil servants and scientists involved in European regulation on tech companies with the Trump regime. Scandalous and intimidating.

Time to ditch or at least use META (Facebook, Instagram...) much less. Also, #FuckAI and #Taxtherich !

ICYM Latest blog is on how I am fucking terrified about climate change and you should be too. www.businessgreen.com/blog-post/45...

Mark Kelly: “We’ve gotta get this corporate money out of our political system. If there is one thing I could do, snap my fingers and change, it would be that. Citizens United & just get all the corporate money out. That would allow us to fix so many problems”

So the US are f#cked. The UK is f#cked. France is more or less f#cked. Am sure other major countries are f#cked too. Can we unf#ck this world ? The Unf#ckening !!!

Trump unlocked campaign funding by promising to turn the White House into a gas station. Two years later, he is likely to lose the midterm elections at the country’s gas stations.

Being on the wrong side of this is an embarrassment

The New York Times editorial board: “Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals.”

#taxtherich. If taxed enough they may stop buying everything and every single poltician and/or media...

France is already moving on from Zoom and Microsoft Teams in favor of homegrown alternatives. Other countries are quickly following suit. www.wired.com/story/the-eu...

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

Réduire la consommation de viande serait à la fois bon pour le climat et pour la santé. Pourtant, elle ne baisse que très lentement dans l’Hexagone, en raison de politiques publiques insuffisamment volontaristes.

I maintain that generative AI is very much inherently bad, and extremely useful for the worst, most toxic applications A system that convincingly fabricates content with no designed drive towrads accuracy or ethics of humanity is not "useless". You can use it for lying, fakery, cheating, abuse

Drop an alien that's not from Star Wars or Star Trek. As I have started watching #Babylon5...

Trump took out Thomas Massie…one of the most conservative Republicans alive. That’s your warning sign. In today’s GOP, disagreement is treason. Loyalty is the only platform left.

He's not planning on leaving. That's what the ballroom bunker equipped with drones is for. It's why he's calling for Thune to fire the parliamentarian who's refusing to allow the $1B for the ballroom in the reconciliation bill. It's why he's paying the insurrectionists with his slush fund.

@bethesdabrad.bsky.social hi ! Gonna follow you so tjat I get news I very much wish I did not have to read. What a sick and sad age we all live in...

So the US are now running death camps ? Abolish ICE. Impeach them all. Start a new era for the country.

Cheaper and cleaner... the future will be clean. Especially if cities also build the necessary infrastructure to depend less on cars...

The US is already a hellscape, with way too many cars and not enough infrastructure for alternatives like cycling or transit. The proposed response to the Iran war gas spike by the current admin ? Even more for cars and even less for said cycling and transit. Seriously... ?!

Cities everywhere should be investing massively in safe cycling infrastructure. Within a few years, your city could feel like Paris or Amsterdam. And yes, ebikes are FUN !

While massively investing in AC, perhaps the UK could also invest in thermal insulation, greener cities and so on ? AC as a be all and end all is NOT the answer to climate change. And this for many reasons.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

If anything, I hope this eventually gets people to understand that "how will we pay for it" has always been, and will forever be, a dogwhistle. There's always money, just not for you.

Colleges and universities keep signing premium deals for AI on campus. Increasingly, the students want none of it

This is a cat check point. Relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone. (Thanks to @jasonfbennett.bsky.social for sending cats on my way today !)

New reason to hate AI.

Riding bikes is 10X more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities. And that’s just the climate emissions. Doesn’t include the massive public & personal cost difference, the air & noise pollution difference, the massive space difference, etc, etc…Via @theconversation.bsky.social

The entire Republican strategy is that Trump will do some new awful thing today, so they’ll never be questioned about this awful thing Trump just did. So they just need to play dumb for a few hours.

23 ans ?! Deja ?! Comment ca, ca veut dire que j ai passé plus de la moitié de ma vie à lire ce canard ?! (Et le pire c est que c est toujours un scandale ! Cc @ivanlefou.eurosky.social et toute l equipe <3 )

“Instead of student loan forgiveness we’re doing a coup forgiveness program”

This is so simple. Yet it wont happen. The entire political and societal systems need to be rewritten for the US. The Senate doesnt make sense either... and so many other key elements.

1500km charge in 6 minutes!! “The boundaries of electrochemistry are still far from being reached, and the possibilities of materials science are still far from being exhausted" - Robin Zeng, CATL founder Still think its all subsidies & copycat & no science or innovation? www.ft.com/content/1773...

I genuinely became a better person when I quit commuting. And it wasn't even a terrible drive! Life 30 min. But I hated people as a whole so much less. There was no need to emotionally detox when I finished my day, and I had so much more patience.

I'm happy to take my comp in universal health care and universal basic income, thanks.

The Epstein files changed me forever. I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied. We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks. America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.

"It seems as if not only is the temperature perhaps more sensitive to the carbon, but the planet is more sensitive to rises in temperature, so the effects that we're seeing are really quite striking." Great pod on the coming likely Super El Niño, w/ @billmckibben.bsky.social & David Wallace Wells.

BlackRock is already framing resistance to AI infrastructure and mass surveillance as a potential “domestic terrorism” or domestic security threats. They know communities across America are waking up to what unchecked AI data center expansion means for land, water, energy, privacy, and control.

Easy to make it make sense. Trump and his billionaire friends and their clique want a Fourth Reich or whatever in the US. Or maybe a second civil war ? But this time slaves can also be white...

BAN DATA CENTERS,NOW !......

Sir, another graduation ceremony in which the students booed AI has dropped. "College graduates were pissed after their school used AI to announce graduates’ names and missed hundreds of names" (via @/FearedBuck on Twitter)

As an energy transition professional I am pretty pissed off at AI. It consumes massive amounts of energy and water, vital ressources we should be saving for actually important stuff.

At 5.8 million losing coverage, that’s roughly 7,000 Americans dead per year. If the worst-case projections hold and 15 million lose coverage, the number climbs past 18,000 — every year. Here's the Way Donald Trump Is Most Likely to Kill You

This new development of the Russian war against Ukraine is welcome. Moscow needs to feel the war.

The spirit of the #TeslaTakedown carries on in the anti-data center movement happening... everywhere. So I spoke to @evansutton.bsky.social, who works on both. He said, "Data centers specifically and AI writ large are a genuine opportunity for a partisan realignment."

A federal judge also ruled that federal funding was withheld to coerce a pardon for Peters.

The #AIbubble cant burst soon enough. The US decent into madness and societal collapse is happening right before our eyes.

Iran is done with it all and is threatening to send back the region back in time. Meanwhile, Trump is still in power, and more and more insane... And Europe is not doing much if anything to de-escalate...

How much have you paid to give one of the worst regime's on earth control of the Strait of Hormuz?

Next month, we will mark 10 years since the Brexit referendum. Brexit has failed, and it's time for a new direction. Join the National Rejoin March at 12 noon on Saturday 20th June, and send our political leaders the message that the time for half-measures is over! marchforrejoin.co.uk/nrmiv
