An amazing stat: Iran exported more oil *today* than it did daily before the war. It's the one country whose tankers are getting through the Strait of Hormuz. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

at this point, the only rational conclusion is they don’t want to win.

Again this table via @70sbachchan.bsky.social I am not so sure that current spare capacity is really *zero*; and it doesn't list SPRs, but still shows the extreme potential of this situation

Great quotes in military history. @atrupar.com

they said the green politics decade was over, but funnily enough what the far rights are effectively engineering is a huge build-up against fossil fuels. that is, of course, if the fossil fuels don’t kill democracy in the mean time. which i would not bet on.

Attacks leave dead vs killed

Iranian journalist reports in front of the flames of a burning Oil depot.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Normalise the second question when you meet an American outside of America being “who did you vote for?”

They're going to poison a city with 17 million people

If you were investing in the future would you like to spend a billion or more dollars a day on a war for oil or would you like to spend that money to rapidly reduce your dependence on oil? Now we get to see both of those approaches in real time.

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

A witless parody of authoritarianism.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.

Not a single soul on the planet happier about bloodshed, conflict, uncertainty, rising energy bills, fuel shortages and cost of living collapse than the CEO of a fossil fuel company The worse the death and destruction, the happier they (and the shareholders) get www.afr.com/companies/en...

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

in the U.S., the fake meat industry has been struggling for years. but over in china, the sector is gaining traction as the govt incorporates "future foods" such as alt proteins into its 5-year plan. could this be the latest U.S.-born innovation that china takes mainstream? i ~explore~

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

Two days into the war: - three F-15s shot down - U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia in flames - six U.S. service members confirmed dead; more wounded - State Department tells Americans to flee the entire Middle East

Just last week the German government gutted the heating law which was supposed to drive a transition away from gas. The timing could not have been worse: Gas prices are up 50% today and this crisis could worsen significantly. This will happen again and again and the consumer pays the price.

All Europeans will pay the price for their leaders' reaction to the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran this weekend. European leaders (all except Pedro Sanchez) have now accepted the end of international law. The consequences of this will be felt not for weeks, not for years, but for decades

I cannot overstate what a massive component of big tech's AI data centre boom leans on these exact loopholes and problems with emissions standards --->>>

“We thought we were living in a politically neutral slave state.”

If you're concerned about climate / environment impacts, do not listen to this random account Anthropic (a) discloses no env or energy data of any kind and (b) has been urging the US gov't to build out fossil fuel infrastructure for their data centres

I'd much rather have RAM than strikes on Iran

China adopted the circular economy as a national priority since 2009 recognising it can generate growth decoupled from resource use. This case study covers growth in the vehicle remanufacturing sector. www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-exa...

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis. Hmmmmmm.

No congress, no constitution, and a king. What a way to celebrate 250 years.

It is so fascinating how much we're conditioned to revere whistleblowers and how much status we give reformed or reforming bad boys, when it's entirely possible to just *not do the morally dubious thing* anildash.com/2026/02/27/a...

you think you've seen the whole movie, and then the alt text reveals you haven't even finished act two

Next time someone hypes the potential climate benefits of LLMs, maybe think about how they enabled mass fabrication of "public" comments that killed an important climate policy. Just one harmful application of software that can quickly generate lots of truthy-sounding bullshit.

I come not to praise Claude or whatever but giving unaccountable robot decisionmaking to thundering dipshits who just shot down their own drone with a laser does seem like wrong side of history business

FIFA Peace Prize Winner declares new war

if you believe in any form of free enterprise at all, the idea that the Pentagon can not only cut off your contract but designate you a supply chain risk and prevent other companies from buying from you just because you won't build killbots for the government should be terrifying

This is amazing.

They were going to pass rules to phase out gas stoves, until they received 20,000 public comments against the regulations. Except, oops, it turns out the comments were generated by AI.

Turns out that an absolutely disgraced political scientist is also absolutely awful at politics. And this political scientist is here for it! The spell is not over but good riddance for now, Goodwin 👋 Congrats to the Greens. Stunning victory. Dont let them tell you it was easy. But it is deserved.

Phew. Vile racists CAN be defeated. Genuinely relieved.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.
