Det bara fortsätter.
Och det bara fortsätter vara underrapporterat i media.
Men krigets utveckling är tydlig: Ryssland har försökt slå ut Ukrainas energiförsörjning i tre år utan att lyckas, bombar i stället civila i blindo, medan Ukraina målmedvetet bryter ner Rysslands oljeindustri & krigsekonomi.
🔥🛢️Russia's fifth largest oil refinery is on fire this morning. Yaroslavl Oil Refinery with the total capacity of 15.7mln tons of oil per year was targeted. 700km from the frontline.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people.

Sound efficient?

2024 var det varmaste året som någonsin uppmätts. Det var också det första året som den globala uppvärmningen översteg 1,5 ºC. Trots detta ökar vi klimatutsläppen, både globalt och i Sverige

“Will pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

För att förstå varför det är så problematiskt att ett parti som SD sprider memes och "humor- och satirvideor" utan avsändare, men med tydligt politiskt innehåll och dåligt gjorda deepfakes måste man förstå vad som håller på att ske med desinformation och propaganda som fenomen. /1

Påminner om Rebellmammornas aktion imorgon söndag 21/4.

De börjar på Sergels Torg kl11 för att sedan tåga mot Riksdagen kl12 med en lång, röd halsduk, som symboliserar 1,5-gradersgränsen.

Även om man inte deltar i själva aktionen, kan man ju olika sätt visa sitt stöd, på plats eller online.❤️

In clinical trials of new treatments, when the treatment is clearly and obviously immediately effective it is sometimes considered unethical to continue to withhold it from the control group. Pretty sure we passed that milestone about a decade ago with basic income experiments.
Fresh basic income pilot results, this time from Arlington, Virginia where 200 people got $500 a month for 2 years. The findings:

Employment INCREASED by 16%, and their incomes from paid work INCREASED by 37%. The control group saw no such gains.
