I read about the US-Israeli bombing of oil depots causing horrific polluted rain across Iran. Iranians have reportedly been experiencing breathing difficulties and headaches.
If you work in environmental or social justice, we must stand against war and for peace. No war! #nowar
These continued boat strikes are extrajudicial executions - prohibited by U.S. and international law
Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.
this is unspeakable
Every Australian journalist worthy of the job title must interrogate the Australian government on the risks of getting directly involved in an out-of-control military conflict initiated illegally by the fickle fascist in the White House, and his genocidal ally. #auspol

“As a Quaker organization, we know that war is never the path to peace."
"We mourn every life lost. We hold the victims’ loved ones and communities in the Light as we call for an immediate end to this war.”

The words of a real leader. A leader of courage and conviction. A leader who puts peace before craven compliance and subjugation of his nation to an illegal war and an autocratic warmongering US President.
Well done Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez!
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
"Hi! It looks like you're trying to write a straightforward and factual headline."
Fairphone put out a document that takes a holistic look at the environmental impact of electronics. Everything detailed by component, material, process, etc. Really interesting for those looking to dig deeper

Actually yes I am saying that you shouldn’t dehumanize anyone
No exceptions to the rule

War is never the answer. It seems it needs to be said. Again. Our hearts are bleeding and we are alarmed about developments
I wonder if there's something about there not being another human person in the loop that makes LLMs feel less like cheating. It's just using Google! But it's also cheaper therefore.
"We want the murder software to murder accurately" isn't the absolution everyone seems to think it is. Anthropic is enacting a huge PR campaign and too many people are helping them
Localhost/files being gimped in a bunch of ways is quite annoying!
No world leader is safe and no country’s sovereignty is secure under the Trump doctrine of might makes right.
The United States has overwhelming force and will use it to get its way, no matter the repercussions or the laws that meant to restrain it. We’ve entered an incredibly dangerous reality.
"The 15-Hour City represents what we think are all the best qualities of a modern city: a lack of social connections, a profound sense of alienation, and a constant stream of being flipped off by drivers from New Jersey."
Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.
Ellul in 1954: "We are rapidly approaching the time when there will be no longer any natural environment at all. When we succeed in producing artificial aurorae boreales, night will disappear and perpetual day will reign over the planet."
Great call out by Sydney Lord Mayor @clovermoore.bsky.social on erosion of our hard-won civil liberties.
Put this right in front of all those lousy State Premiers, who are all too eager to sharply intrude on our democratic rights to assemble & protest;

Now there is hope! It's no longer a choice between grim and grimmer. We can vote for who we want and win. Anywhere.
It's just one constituency, but the Green victory in Gorton and Denton is an electric shock to our political system.
hearing AI company CEOs excitedly telling you how "we can now all finally become managers" without blinking makes me want to pack my bags and move to the moon
You simply can’t 'offset' strip mining the only jarrah forest on Earth
Australia’s environmental laws are meant to protect the irreplaceable, not offer accounting tricks that allow their irrevocable destruction.

Today marks four years since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
We spoke to Anastasiya Marchuk of @nonviolentpeaceforce.org about their inspiring work on the ground to protect civilians and build peace side-by-side with local communities.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

when I say this I’m not saying “tescreal.” You can be a techno optimist and not exult speed and destruction and ultimately death. But when you talk about the productivity of your AI agents and how we have to get on board before they take on the world, that is what you do
DAY TWO OF ME ENDLESSLY PROMOTING SOMETHING I'M PROUD OF
Here's a new video summary, focusing on the flimsy evidence behind the claim AI tech will make global emissions plummet by gigatonnes and how similar that is to something you might recognise.....

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!
2/ AI data centers are a new kind of electrical load
Homes and factories change demand slowly.
GPU clusters don’t.
AI workloads can swing from ~20% to 100% utilization in fractions of a second as jobs spin up and down.
We’ve never had grid loads behave like this at scale.
