This is good news from Biden’s excellent National Labor Relations Board:
Labor officials have received a green light to pursue an injunction in federal court against the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper for allegedly violating its employees’ rights.
Carbon Credits are shit, they don't work. And at best just move money and risk around.
Hint: If the timber industry supports something, you know it is bad.
Timber companies claim carbon credits for trees they don’t cut down.

You do not know how many people died or if they were children or not. You also do not know if they were civilian or not.
The original source for that claim is Hamas.
Your tax money funded Hamas on Oct7th and you said nothing.
Stick to the few topics that you do know about.
Could the UK become a 100% green energy country?
Yes !
Could the UK become a net exporter of green energy?
Yes !
And it really isn't that hard. Nor disruptive.

Unless you are from Liechtenstein or another country with no armed forces stop been a hypocrite when the subject is military operations.
Go read about the civilian casualties on war ot terror campaign or the latest wars.
I'm fact if you have an IPHONE go read about the suicides on the Foxconn factory.
You are not that innocent and your lifestyle promotes the killing.
Getting tired of all the hypocrisy going around
Yes exactly this just happened to me.

Still waiting for FDA approval of the small teleportation device, that sits in the bottom of a coffee cup. Pressure sensitive, automatically refills cup when low. From large pour over reservoir.
We need to get the Aliens to suspend patent rights on that one.
Works well with wine, or bourbon.

@Museek! 🥳
Happy birthday to a human who does so much for her communities, and who navigates hurdles that would *not* exist in a more just world. 💛🫂 May you feel surrounded today by love, family, and hope, and may the year ahead present more triumphs than setbacks - for you, and for all the people that your advocacy so powerfully supports.
Yes.
Agreed.
Fuck You Nvidia
Yeah, right. “Nvidia announced a collaboration with Hippocratic AI on Monday, a healthcare company that offers generative AI nurses who work for just $9 an hour. Hippocratic promotes how it can undercut real human nurses, who can cost $90 an hour, with its cheap AI agents that offer medical advice to patients over video calls in real-time.”

2024 AI Elections Tracker
“As more than 2 billion people in 50 countries head to the polls this year, artificial intelligence-generated content is now widely being used to spread misinformation, as well as to confuse and entertain voters. Throughout 2024, Rest of World is tracking the most noteworthy incidents of AI-generated election content globally.”
A Thousand Suns
An Original Science Fiction Anthology Series
It’s the future. How far? Far enough that our modern society is little more than a ghost haunting humanity. Far enough that we’ve spread far beyond Earth, off onto many worlds.
Episodes 1-6 available now.
This is the AI Grey Goo scenario: an internet choked with low-quality content, which never improves, where it is almost impossible to locate public reliable sources for information because the tools we have been able to rely on in the past, can never keep up with the scale of new content being created. Where the volume of content created overwhelms human or algorithmic abilities to sift through it quickly and find high-quality stuff.

Why the world cannot afford the rich.
Equality is essential for sustainability. The science is clear — people in more-equal societies are more trusting and more likely to protect the environment than are those in unequal, consumer-driven ones.

On a personal note: I agree with the following.
If anything – I’m in the “No Miracles Needed” camp – by which I refer to Mark Jacobson’s exhaustive book proposing we have everything we need in solar, wind and storage technology to get us through the great filter.
But I am NOT a technoptipist, In the common usage of that term. I am in the "Re-distribute" the current miracles camp.
I have been reading a lot of Ivan Illich

🤔Random thoughts inspired by #coso
Religion, race, sexuality, political party, weight, financial status, social standing, family born to, likes and dislikes, health status & more, do not define me; they are just descriptions.
What I feel truly defines me is how I think and act towards fellow humans, animals, &, all things living on a daily basis. What I can bring into the world from my soul is what defines me. I further my definition by seeing the world respecfully through another's eyes

"The root of my ill-ease with the term 'DeGrowth' is “who does it hurt”.
"We have gone beyond the end of capitalism into techno-feudalism and the beginning era of the Klepts – and are very much in the foothills of The Jackpot.
Actually I’d plump for semi-automated convivial social democracy."
