Why do people always expect authors to answer questions? I am an author because I want to ask questions. If I had answers, I'd be a politician.

What the IEA's latest report says about the energy transition — and what it doesn't
The International Energy Agency's latest landmark report looks like an act of surrender to the Trump administration's fossil fuel agenda. But when you look closer, a much different picture emerges.

TikTok, in a nutshell! (And, we all let it happen!)
Insane data from Germany shows how social media is geared towards more fringe political views. The left bar shows the share of uploaded videos by party on TikTok and the right bar shows what videos are shown in the feed. Social media loves the extremes and is NOT a fair mirror of reality.
