Palantir bring tech-faschistisches Manifest heraus - über "rückständige" und "schlimmere Kulturen", über die "Kastration" von Deutschland nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg. Auf Basis von Informationen von Palantier jagt #ICE Menschen. Auch deutsche Landespolizeien verwenden es zunehmend.
We also have good evidence of unions as one of the very very few social institutions that push white adults towards less racist attitudes
This is a lie used to push liberals away from the only fighting politician institutions on the left in the US. More unionists voted for Harris than Biden. The modal active union member (as opposed to retiree) is a woman in a school or hospital, not a cartoon polish guy in a hard hat.

gawking at the decision to pay reporters to uncover explosive, fascinating untold news stories, then put an AI summary of the comments above the details of the story, in this case speculating on the truth of the reporting.
as if a computer summarizing reader opinion is as important as the reporting
Outrageous. @chiosse.bsky.social was protecting one of his neighbors from eviction, as a result of deed theft — a plague in Central Brooklyn right now. There was no reason for NYPD officers to roughly throw him to the ground. It sure doesn’t make anyone safer. Release him now.
Wir erinnern uns: Um vergaberechtbrechendes Vorgehen im eigenen Haus zu dokumentieren, schreibt dieser Staatssekretär einen Vermerk und versucht Rechtsbrüche zu verhindern.
Nun wurde er entlassen - zuvor empfahl ein CDU-Politiker genau das in einem *checks notes* WhatApp-Chat mit der Senatorin.
SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2
www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...
2/2 The move, which has not been previously reported, has raised concerns among current + former officials that information about the vaccine’s benefits is being downplayed because they conflict with the views of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been an outspoken critic of the shots.
In which I argue that "AI" as we understand it today is a structurally fascist artifact.

we need to act fast
NEW RESEARCH: Up to 90% of industrial energy demand could be electrified with existing & emerging tech.
Under high-ambition policy, 51% by 2050 is achievable. 84% under the most enabling assumptions.
The technologies exist. The constraint is policy.

HELP NEEDED: We're looking for the best data on CAPEX and levelised cost of heat for electrothermal energy storage ideally based on actual projects rather than hypotheticals.
Any data you can share much much appreciated!
Tucker Carlson: I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We’re implicated in this. I misled people.
Screenshot of a gig nursing app offering workers the ability to bid the lowest wage in order to win a gig
'Uber for Nurses' apps are lobbying aggressively against regulations as they expand across the US.
They include allowing workers to "bid" on gig shifts with the lowest wage bid winning the gig

60-year-olds around a 61-year-old going into the newsagent in 2069, "Go on mate, get us a few packs."
I don't buy this argument - from T&E, ALLRAIL - that because customers know incumbents (DB Navigator, SNCF Connect etc.) those must be forced to sell *everything*
Trainline, Omio, Railfinder are not good enough to recommend YET because they're deprived of data! Give them data, their market grows!
NEW | Clean power met ALL the growth in global electricity demand in 2025
Solar generation alone met THREE QUARTERS of the demand rise and grew by 30%.
Fossil generation stagnated (-0.2%).
🧵 A thread on changes in the global power system in 2025...
yeah, same. it's the one thing I really miss about it

The fun part is: this was loudly denounced as an insane conspiracy theory, right up until those books came out that were filled with McSweeney and Reed bragging about how all of it was true, and they really had suckered the press into repeating all of this awesomely dishonest horseshit.
The AI datacenter buildout is huge compared to past projects like the interstate highway system, the Apollo program, and the US railroad boom. But its still modest compared to global clean energy investment or oil and gas investment:
My personal rule regarding “gentrification” is that if you’re gonna use that word with me, you have to tell me what specifically you are talking about.
We can have a policy conversation about economic displacement. We cannot have that conversation about whether the new restaurants are too fancy.
The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
Literally everyone except Trump's psycho red-hatted base hates him.
Surely NYT can find a few to interview in diners?
Bloomberg News was able to confirm that China targets a doubling of total non-fossil energy supply from 2025 to 2035. This is a substantially stronger target than raising the share from 22% to 30% as announced earlier, especially if energy demand growth slows down.
While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.
Yes, $30 million per HOUR.
All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.
