The new #COP28 draft is dangerous for one clear reason: it kills urgency The slower the pathway to near-zero emissions, the more greenhouse gases add up - and the more severe effects we suffer (This is why Al Jaber reacted so angrily to Mary Robinson when she mentioned urgency)

I’m starting to think we can’t count on politicians to stop the climate crisis.

Say what you will about Elon Musk, but he's doing the hard work of convincing people that large language models aren't thinking machines, they're just spicy autocomplete regurgitating a probabilistic mix of the dataset contoured by training and reinforcement.🫡

A few years back, magic happened in Maine when two dams on the Penobscot were removed and *millions* of sea-run fish returned. I wrote about the effort and joy for Reasons to Be Cheerful with edits from the brilliant @beccaworby.bsky.social:
'Take It Down and They'll Return': The Stunning Revival of the Penobscot Riverreasonstobecheerful.world A historic project in Maine shows that when dams are removed, a river and its fish can recover with surprising speed.

One thing about Alex Jones getting his Twitter account back is that the parents of a 6-year-old boy who was murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary had to move 12 times after far-right conspiracy theorists posted their home addresses www.nytimes.com/2022/07/25/u...
Sandy Hook Parents to Testify Against Alex Jones, and a Culture of Lies (Published 2022)www.nytimes.com The families of 10 victims have waited years to hold the Infowars conspiracist and the political environment that enabled him to account.

When the president of the UN climate summit runs an oil company, this is the unsurprising result. What a farce. #COP28 www.cnn.com/2023/12/11/c...

The entirely supine way the #CovidInquiry accepts missing WhatsApps infuriates me beyond words. You know full well if this was the US and part of an SEC investigation those WhatsApps WOULD BE RECOVERED or people would go to jail. For a long time.

An American podcast about Private Equity. It's how the greedy buy up profitable businesses using a mix of minimal investment & maximum debt. They cut investment, syphon the profits, & load the business with so much debt, collapse is inevitable. pca.st/episode/5592...

This really is something. US right-wing ideology barely has any ideological content anymore; instead it has an insane conspiracy theory that elites are actually sex-trafficking groomers. And one of its biggest heroes is, in fact, a sex-trafficking groomer.
The way Andrew Tate has only risen in prominence since being investigated and jailed for rape/human trafficking — in conversation with a presidential candidate and tech billionaire today — just goes to show how easy it is for alleged traffickers to achieve status and power in full public view

Grim shit.

Alex Jones, restored to X in the name of free speech, recently demanded that a comic be arrested and charged for prank calling him, and routinely calls people traitors and calls for their imprisonment and death for having different political views.

I will stop posting every Grok thing I get sent for a bit but this one is really funny. Musk spent $100m on GPUs to have his own website betray him
