Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza.
Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. Iβm sure they wonβt be the last to announce a boycott.
Excellent design work, #Apple. Fantastic attention to detail.
BTW are you hiring for your design team? I have zero experience, I think I'd be an excellent candidate.
Electrification + efficiency β not rolling back climate policy β is the real path to a competitive European industry.
High fossil fuel prices hit industry hardest, not the Green Deal. Undermining clean-energy commitments would only push investment elsewhere.

An disturbingly apt metaphor.

Verra recently announced that more than half of the credits from the Kariba REDD+ project donβt represent real climate benefits. Our new commentary explains why carbon market participants should treat Verraβs proposed solution to excess crediting with skepticism.

Oh absolutely, I'm still using Svelte, at least for now. I'd like to see Rich Harris' response to this, though...
I really hope @rich-harris.dev is able to leave. I've always liked and respected Rich, it would suck to see him stay at a company which openly supports genocide.
Damn. I'd even been thinking of switching to Vercel since they've been supporting Svelte and other good projects. Not anymore. They will not get a penny of my money in the future.
Thereβs never been a better time to switch from Next.js to Astro nitter.net/rauchg/statu...
Cosying up to a genocidal war criminal, man.
Itβs the Vercel employees I feel most sorry for here. Working there is nothing but shame and a lot will be trapped there.
Do everything to help them move on if you can.
In Chile I was told about an activist had been shot dead by salmon farm workers while swimming around a farm to document illegal practices.
The workers claimed they thought he was a seal.
They were acquitted.
The salmon farming giants are dragging Don Staniford through the courts to shut him up. This is the same industry that spied on him with ex-paratroopers - just for exposing the truth: salmon farming is cruel and cruel filthy business and does enormous environmental harm.
From things I've seen recently, I think many people would benefit from reading this. It's short, and it's free.

This video from PBS which was released yesterday explains how badly economists misjudge the physical planetary reality their economic fantasies are based on:

I keep giving LLMs a chance to impress me, whenever I encounter a boring task that they should be good at, and they keep shitting the bed. Not like 'this was too hard a problem for fancy autocomplete' shitting the bed, like 'randomly deleting swathes of code' shitting the bed
FUCK YEAH SCIENCE

UK maps showing changes in temperatures for typical summer days and hot summer days.
1Β°C of global warming does NOT mean that heatwaves 'just' get hotter by 1Β°C.
Over large parts of the UK, global warming means that heatwaves are 3-4Β°C warmer, with worse consequences for people and ecosystems.
One question for AT Proto as a blog backend is whether users will want a single record in their PDS that works across Bluesky clients and custom platforms. In that case, a custom βfull-length postβ embed inside Blueskyβs own lexicon seems to make the most sense. I donβt want to reinvent the wheel.
This image is now absolutely everywhere over European media lmao
That is a lot of capacitance.

Israel hasn't stopped gunning down the Palestinians they're starving, as those Palestinians try to feed themselves
There is nothing wrong with continuing to say it: these are war crimes, this is genocide, this is murder. It must be stopped, and those perpetrating the crimes must be held accountable
Imagine humanity was facing the biggest threat it ever had, but luckily, a bunch of really smart people had been working for decades to understand the danger and all the ways we could respond.
Now imagine the most unhinged, sociopathic thing the government could do in that situation.
Guess what?
It's #StopFoodWasteDay! Besides the huge inefficiencies of feed conversion to produce meat, dairy & eggs (+ farmed fish) as shown in the post below this, animal-based foods involve other forms of waste, such as this: www.vox.com/future-perfe...
Frantically learning all the wrong lessons.
People who want Reform policies will vote Reform.
People who want Labour policies ... well, perhaps they'll just have to vote Green.

The fact that most Americans spend 99% of their time either staring into small screens or trapped in traffic in two-ton boxes ... probably affects our collective psychological and civic well-being.
