Currently wondering what message the UK govt thought it was sending by dressing up the Minister for Net Zero in a literal Shell logo.

Prof Julia Steinberger 🌹🌱🌍 #ClimateAction #Fightfascism reposted

They both did it, it was a joint effort, it’s one of the crazier things to happen in the national security space (which is really saying something) and every government should be scrambling to reduce dependence on—and as soon as possible get off—Starlink/shield or any Musk product, including the US.

german media has btw talked non-stop the last few weeks about how the leftist party die linke has a giant problem with antisemitism

Fresh AfD data leak needs more time to get fully analyzed but first glimpse shows all the classics. Party supporters use racist slurs and share antisemitic theories of Jewish world domination; there are jokes about turning refugees into handbags and boots... www.heistberlin.com/news/afd-lea...

“Vote Green, watch Labour move.” The argument here - which I think is true - is that Labour is understanding more and more that the real threat they face is to their Left, and the Greens are putting actual pressure on Labour

Excellent thread. Key point: AI favours stuff it has seen before, so is inherently incapable of genuine innovation; it is not intelligent in a human sense. PS - very pleased I am a retired academic 😉

If there is no interview stage, it will be impossible to assess the actual competence, knowledge and ability of the applicants. AI is trained on pre-existing content, and is by definition incapable of true innovation. It does not think, it is not intelligent: it plagiarises and iterates, badly. ...

In case it wasn't clear, academia is crumbling under the enormous flood of AI-generated content. The latest victim is the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) flagship EU postdoctoral fellowships. The number of submissions has more than doubled in the past 3 years.

The academic grant system is extremely broken. 21.627 submissions... That is how many proposals the Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships received this month. Two years ago it was 10,360. The budget did not move. The success rate went from around 16% to something close to 7%.

21627 applications. Nothing to celebrate here. Impossible to evaluate fairly & safely. Neither the science (too diverse & possibly LLM generated) nor the soft criteria (likely LLM generated). Without an interview stage - a security risk! marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/whats-new/ne...

It’s almost as if there is a well funded denial industry and fossil fuel lobby trying to cast doubt on the impact of fossil fuel companies.

the @forbidden-stories.bsky.social investigation is so deeply important. put the illegality to one side. the trump admin is brazenly sending ppl to third countries, lacking any cxn, without any guarantee they won't be sent on for torture, abuse, persecution... it's horrible.

Is it strategic to publish my 2,000+ word manifesto about a UN climate report on Sunday night of a holiday weekend? Nope! Here ya go. Does the UN call for a “renewable energy revolution” and “transformational change” of our society? Yep! Here for it. ayanaelizabeth.substack.com/p/i-read-the...

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Gil Durán@gilduran.com

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Two years ago today, Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi was murdered by Israel. The IOF shot Ayşenur while she was peacefully protesting against illegal Israeli settlements near Beita in the occupied West Bank, Palestine. We remember Ayşenur today & always in the struggle for Palestinian liberation.

If they had held signs saying "I support Palestine Action" they would all have been arrested. Since they were just a violent anti-migrant fascist group, they're fine. Cool cool cool cool.
