Shocked that Brexit was a Putin Plan? Four years we document confirmation of this by the US Army who saw it as as the “First Step in a Russian Information Blitzkrieg on the West” @nafeez.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2022/03/02/t...

This is literally right out of the Lord of the Rings

just like the fossil fuel industry and CCS, the most fun response is to say "Okay: your product is dangerous. So we're banning data centres, taxing LLM products and encouraging institutional bans on chatbots". And watch them scream with wide eyes

"...we cannot be confident that temperature decline after #overshoot is achievable within the timescales expected today. Only rapid near-term emission reductions are effective in reducing climate risks."

The State of Biodiversity Action report provides the first global assessment of collective progress under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, adopted in December 2022 with 23 targets to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. www.cbd.int/doc/press/20...

The stock markets and bond markets are no supporters of democracy, and we should never allow them to dictate the limits of politics.

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. From the ProPublica archives:

Book Claims Saudi and Emirati Leaders Set Up Secret Bank Accounts for Jared Kushner

A wild aspect of this gobsmacking piece is the Israeli method of blackmail: they allow a money launderer (Kushner) to set up his illegal bank account in Israeli national bank, then they make it difficult for him to pull out his money unless he does as he is told. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

The gene therapy Zolgensma helped children born with a fatal disease grow up to run and play. But the cost was stunning: $2M per dose. While taxpayers and charities funded the drug’s early development, execs, venture-capital backers and a pharma giant have reaped the profits. (Pub. Feb. 2025)

🔴 NEW Jason Arday Again Cleared of Plagiarism as His Attackers Launch an ‘Independent Inquiry’ By @nafeez.bsky.social Read below. ↓

Antifascist Economics was published today by @isabellamweber.bsky.social. Honestly, in a country where you see parties like the AFD rise to power, and when they get hacked, emails about members going on *Hitler pilgriimages* being unearthed, this opening chapter hits pretty hard.

I’m no foreign policy expert but no one should have this much power. “Starlink provides a lifeline for Ukrainian forces on the front lines attacking Russian troops and defending themselves from strikes. With a seeming flick of a switch, Musk has the power to alter the course of a deadly conflict.”

Writer @naomiaklein.bsky.social says the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is part of a much longer project of privatization. "After 50 years of outsourcing and hollowing out of public functions of the state, the very last stage is the outsourcing of thinking, of intelligence itself."

Sixty years, tomorrow. They gave the man in charge a knighthood. They made the local community pay for the remembrance garden. No-one held to account. I always think of the dinner lady, Nansi, who shielded five kids with her body and died in the process but they all lived. #Aberfan

Sixteen years after the catastrophic Deepwater Horizon oil spill, life in the deep sea is showing few signs of recovery, new research finds.

South African human rights lawyer and international jurist Navi Pillay was awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize. She led the U.N. independent commission of inquiry that concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza. “I've been accused of being biased and taking sides and speaking lies,” says Pillay.
