My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.
Virginia Data Center Ran Diesel Generators for 24 Hours. Residents Fled Their Homes
Virginia data center diesel generators ran nearly 24 hours during a Code Red alert, leaving neighbors with no regulatory recourse under current state permits.

There are many reasons why Trump and every member of his autocratic regime deserves prison, but turning federal law enforcement into the Republican Party’s opposition-removal squad is one of them. This is what dictatorships do.

Bravo, that man. Thank you to all the people of Ukraine.
Adam Schwarz@adamjschwarz.bsky.social · yesterdayZelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations... It’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from."
Zelensky says Russia attacked six Ukrainian energy facilities during the day, after Ukraine refrained from striking Russian energy sites overnight following Trump’s energy ceasefire announcement. He said Russia’s attacks were Putin’s response to Trump and called for more pressure on Moscow. #Ukraine
“Everyone understands that diesel prices do not depend on our attacks on Russian diesel infrastructure. Everyone understands that it depends on the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz,” Zelensky told Fox News, rejecting claims that Ukrainian refinery strikes are driving fuel prices. #Ukraine
People are falling for the Trump con again. This is a trap for Ukraine. Russia has already destroyed most of Ukr power generation, so they can hold off for a day or two. Ukr needs to attack Russian refineries now. If they do, trump can blame them and help Russia more.

Russian bot traffic has dropped to nearly 0 after Ukraine struck a Yandex data center in Vladimir, Russia
Anonymous@youranoncentral.bsky.social · 2d agoUkrainian drones struck three Yandex data centres in Russia, shutting down two and crippling the third. The attacks disrupted more than 80 services, including banking, transport and cloud infrastructure, following Russian strikes on Ukrainian data centres.
Hullo @politico.com can you show some backbone and do some serious journalism? If one side has not agreed to a ceasefire, IT IS NO ceasefire!!!! Report facts, not the frame dictated by the White House.

Just one hour ago, during Trump’s ‘energy cease fire’..
Kate from Kharkiv@kateinkharkiv.bsky.social · 2d agoHorrific moment of a Russian missile strike in Pisochyn (just outside Kharkiv) just now. At least 3 people are confirmed killed ‼️ 9 are injured. The fire is still raging, the death tall is likely to rise.

In de context van de #klimaatmars, een draadje met data. Het globale energieverbruik is sinds 1950 sterk gestegen, en bedraagt nu jaarlijks ~180 000 TWh (terawattuur). Deze primaire energie omvat "alles": elektriciteit, verwarming, brandstof... inclusief alle verliezen (daarover straks meer).

How the Global Right Weaponizes Antisemitism to Fight the Left
It’s not just the Trump regime. From Germany to the UK to even Canada, attacking progressives to supposedly protect Jews is widespread, writes Jewish philosopher and fascism expert Jason Stanley.

Zo ziet het uitschakelen van een Russische trollenfabriek eruit. Meer dan de helft van Russische bots op X zijn plotseling gestopt.. (heeft Wierd Duk nog iets gepost?)
(((Tendar)))@tendar.bsky.social · 2d agoMore Videos of the Russian data center in the Vladimir region are coming in. They show the moment of one of the impacts. Yandex has officially acknowledged that the data center ceased all operations.
The Big Data era, a signature of which is the availability of many datasets covering large percentages of their respective populations, yet they were never intended to be probabilistic samples. 👇

Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social · 2d agoFree weekend out. The big story is that Donald Trump is now free to be what he always was--strong supporter of Vladimir Putin and an agent pushing for Russian victory. He no longer has to pretend he cares at all about Ukrainian dead or Russian War crimes. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...
We are 24 years away from when the world needs to be at net zero carbon emissions. Fossil fuel infrastructure and even some appliances have about a 25-year design life. That means that every gas power plant, gas pipeline, or gas boiler you install today is a middle finger pointed at your grandkids.
Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies. Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war.
Maybe the most amazing aspect of the Russo-Ukraine War is that Russia is getting backing from both China and the USA, the two largest powers of the moment--and Ukraine could still emerge triumphant as long as Europe backs it stoutly.
The ICC is the cornerstone of the international criminal justice system. It prosecutes individuals responsible for the most serious crimes under international law.
