How many upgrades do we have left?
Fast tech’s race to upgrade bears a growing responsibility for the climate crisis.
The digital industry accounts for 4% of total carbon emissions, and is predicted to account for 14% by 2040.
Let’s end fast tech.

So powerful.
After Trump was elected the first time, there was also a lot of talk about making iPhones in the US. At the time, I co-edited the sci-fi outlet Terraform, and asked @timmaughan.bsky.social to imagine what such a future might really look like.

Trump’s Team Calls Europe ‘Pathetic’ in Leaked Signal Group Chat Messages
Trump officials have demanded more European military spending and questioned the continent’s values. Leaked messages show the depth of the rift.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

In @nature.com we show that humans lived in rainforests ~150,000 years ago – over double the previous oldest estimate. Their presence in West Africa’s rainforests demonstrates the spread of early humans and places ecological diversity at the heart of our species.

When I went viral last year with a post about the Rhône glacier, I was ridiculed by many for being concerned about the retreat.
40% loss in 1/4 of a century is massive. The fact it's accelerating should be alarming. The speed of retreat is a visceral sign of the crisis we are in.
