Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

The thing about 'act as if your house is on fire' is that you can get out of your house

It's more like our boat's on fire. Or indeed our spaceship

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

When climate deniers argue that atmospheric CO₂ was higher in the past, it's idiotic.

Humans evolved to live in the current climate, and we built our society and infrastructure accordingly.

The atmosphere didn't have oxygen billions of years ago, and we certainly don't want to return to that.
Earth's atmosphere hasn't had this much CO2 in millions of years
New data shows that CO2 levels have broken through 430 parts per million, an indication that human-caused global warming will continue to warp the environment.

#GlobalWarming is pushing the world closer to tipping points, risking irreversible changes. A Joint Research Centre policy brief, with PIKs @donovanpdennis.com & Sina Loriani, explains the need for anticipatory governance to tackle systemic risks.

Earth system tipping points are a threat to Europe – how to get prepared?
Global warming is bringing the world closer to crossing tipping points, setting a path to events that could permanently alter how the planet works, within years, decades or centuries.

Gilt übrigens auch für Journalist_innen & Medien, die IMMER NOCH von X zitieren. Diese Zitiererei hält die Plattform relevant. Sie normalisiert & legitimiert sie. Könnt Ihr das bitte endlich bleiben lassen? Es richtet 1 Menge Schaden an. BT-Wahl steht vor der Tür & wir wissen wen Musk stärken will.

Elon Musks Agenda für die EU ist die Stärkung der Rechtsextremen. Wer X mit eigenem Content füttert, egal wie gut gemeint, hilft einer vom CEO manipulierten Plattform, die die AfD feiert.

Es ist der 19. Dezember, Leute! Alle versuchen gerade, irgendwie ihre To-Do-Listen für dieses Jahr noch wegzukriegen. Man verschickt jetzt keine Emails mehr mit Dingen, die To-Do-Listen wachsen lassen. Mehr als ein "Schöne Feiertage, lass uns dann im neuen Jahr mal reden" ist jetzt nicht mehr ok.

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology
a cartoon with two panels panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there" The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons

An early Halloween cartoon for New Scientist.
Image: A cavernous laboratory filled with sinister outdated equipment, pickled organs, a pentagram and a corpse on a slab. Outside the window, bats fly past the moon while at a desk an angry-looking woman with crazed hair and a lab coat writes in a ledger. Caption: Janet had not imagined that being an evil scientist would involve so much evil paperwork.

I hate hate hate hate these chodes who think we need to get to Mars to save humanity. There are zero scenarios that could ever make Earth as deadly as Mars. Zero.

I’d love if we went to Mars. Of course! But for science!! Not as a “backup planet.”

In the 00's, a car company made this commercial that accidentally exposed how much space is wasted by car-centric road design.

What’s crazy: The most unrealistic part of this video is how it shows *too many people* — because the average car on the road has just 1.5 people in it.
