Liebe Männer, verstecken wir uns nicht hinter dem Satz „Not all men“.
Stärken wir stattdessen unseren Kolleginnen den Rücken. Holen wir Frauen auf die Podien und in die Gremien dieser Welt. Und tragen wir auch im Alltag unseren Teil mit. (vdb)

Today, Europe’s energy system is cleaner, much more diverse - and much more stable than a few years ago.
Yet the developments in the Middle East remind us once again of the risks of relying still too much on fossil fuels.
#Enshittification is real 😳 👏

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
![[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]
From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:
NEWSREADER:
Extraordinary images here
of an expat in Dubai
[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]
…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.
[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones].
CLIVE MYRIE:
To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent
DAVID JONES:
Clive, this is momentous
It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.
[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]
You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.
It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.
CLIVE MYRIE:
Which are…?
DAVID JONES:
You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes,
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.
CLIVE MYRIE:
And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?
DAVID JONES:
I think we can expect to see:
“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”
CLIVE MYRIE:
Mmm.

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default
“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck
«Schweigen ist keine Option mehr. Die Menschheit sprengt die planetaren Grenzen, und deshalb braucht es einen Systemwechsel. Es gibt eine globale Entwicklung zu immer mehr sozialer Ungleichheit. In der Schweiz ist die Vermögensungleichheit mittlerweile gleich gross wie in den USA.»
“It’s difficult to understand the scale of the problem, but OpenAI itself estimates that more than a million people every week show suicidal intent when chatting with ChatGPT.”
Beautiful piece on AI and meaning by @svennyholm.bsky.social that left me feeling uplifted and inspired

So science = AI and quantum? Sure, that can solve all the US' problems
"Only those rotators with “skills to support the president’s priorities in AI and quantum” had their annual contracts extended"

Europe’s energy transition is well underway but it is far from uniform.
In 25 European countries, non-fossil fuel sources now generate the majority of electricity, a clear sign of how deeply clean power has penetrated the system.

Happy belated festivities, or as you say in Austria “Lei Lei!” 🎉
Wow! 🤩
Agreed. It is not safe to visit America when criminals control our government. This is America’s darkest and most dangerous hour.
Wenn Ignoranz in Gesellschaften stärker als Vernunft ist, nenne ich das Gesellschaftsversagen. Am deutlichsten sieht man das in den USA.
Jetzt könnte man natürlich bei uns daraus lernen und AfD bzw FPÖ in Umfragen wieder sinken lassen 😬 www.derstandard.at/story/300000...
Bhattacharyya said that means "the American people are on the hook for these claims if liability is assessed against the government."
🤔 Is this somehow OK, given the electorate put him in power? 🤡

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
Oh my, have you come across @stephencollins.bsky.social? lllustrator and cartoonist. AI peas and so much more. Just the ray of light needed this Monday morning. (Oh yes I got up early to work. Now I think I need to download Stressifyly).
