We bought into the "post scarcity" narrative because digital tech feels so magic and ethereal but we need to get back to an understanding of the material costs and effects of those systems. They are not very post-scarce in reality.

@arcglobal.bsky.social's mission is quite simple: STOP accelerationist terrorism.
Accelerationism originated prior to radical right-wing uptake but has since become nearly synonymous with far-right terrorism. This is why we use "militant" and "neofascist" in our analysis!

Understanding the process that favored the emergence of life is not just about looking backward to 🌎’s first dawn: it’s about learning how complexity itself begins and how it might arise again, elsewhere.

How to rapidly scale the heat pump market?
“The main hurdle is the price ratio of gas to electricity. [Reforming taxation of energy] would unlock a much more market-driven transition.”
That’s what I told the FT. Excellent piece.

Between 1850 and 1910 the population of Vienna almost quadrupled, from about half a million, to two million. During this Golden Age of Science and Culture, more than half of the Viennese population came from outside Vienna, and a significant share came from outside what today constitutes Austria.

Truly remarkable: Poland used to be a climate laggard.
Today, wind and solar are increasingly replacing coal in the Polish electricity mix with almost 30% of all electricity generated to date this year from wind and solar.
In 2000 coal provided 95% of Polish electricity.
Today it is at 51%.
