Another clear and knowable downstream consequence of letting scammers get rich off crypto was that that money would boomerang back into politics in ways that were highly likely to try to skirt around fundraising laws and distort policy incentives.

14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!

Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · last mo.

Every conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

Ich hatte gerade die Gelegeheit, Friedrich Merz in der Bundespressekonferenz zu seinem bisherigen Schweigen zu den Hitzetoten und zu den Forderungen aus seiner Partei nach einem Verschieben des deutschen Klimaziels zu fragen. Ein paar kurze Anmerkungen zu seinen Antworten im Thread (1/5)

Jens Spahn nahm nicht 1x oder 2x sondern gleich 5 Mal an diskret gehaltenen Treffen von Peter Thiel teil. Themen des Events 26: „Atomkraft wieder einführen“, „Den Dritten Weltkrieg meistern“, „Eine Sekte gründen“ oder auch „Wie läuft’s in Ihrem Sexleben?“ wired. correctiv.org/aktuelles/da...

Ausbau #Schiene: Weder Planung noch Bau finanziert! „0 Cent aus 500 Mrd € Sondervermögen fließen in Neu-/Ausbau. Das ist nicht erklärbar“, kritisiert Matthias Gastel. „Züge bleiben unpünktlich und #Industrie muss immer wieder Produktion drosseln.“ www.sueddeutsche.de/wirtschaft/b...

Relatedly, Friedrichstraße businesses suffered after the bike lane + pedestrianization project, not because of it, but because it was corona. But this convinced the business community that road diets were bad and they advocated for and got the cars back.

To be clear, businesses in Uptown DIDN’T close because of bike lanes (or lost parking, for that matter). What happened is that the main road was shut for two years, after COVID and George Floyd did lots of damage, with very little assistance or accommodation. The result has been a commercial crash.

Vor 1 Woche: die Straße von Hormus nicht mehr passierbar. Circa 1/5 der weltweiten Ölprodukt- & Gaslieferungen blockiert. Seit Donnerstag: Attacken auf kritische Energieinfrastruktur in Katar & Co. Angesichts dessen wäre Festhalten an den Pläne von Reiches Netz- & Heizungspaket glatter Selbstmord.

Good news! The final ENTSO-E report into the Spain blackout is out A complex stew of different factors, but "too much solar" is simply not even among them, let alone a major component. As always: the narrative built by fossil/nuke advocates was wrong www.entsoe.eu/news/2026/03...

a complex diagram Context Expert Panel Investigation Steps Information to Stakeholders Publications & Documents Contacts Summary The final report of the Expert Panel on the 28 April 2025 blackout in continental Spain and Portugal identifies the causes of the blackout and outlines recommendations to strengthen the resilience of Europe’s interconnected electricity system. It was prepared by a technical Expert Panel of 49 members, including representatives from Transmission System Operators (TSOs), Regional Coordination Centres (RCCs), ACER and National Regulatory Authorities (NRAs), and was chaired by experts from two unaffected TSOs. The investigation concludes that the blackout resulted from a combination of many interacting factors, including oscillations, gaps in voltage and reactive power control, differences in voltage regulation practices, rapid output reductions and generator disconnections in Spain, and uneven stabilisation capabilities. These factors led to fast increases of voltage and cascading generation disconnections in Spain, resulting in the blackout in continental Spain and Portugal. Based on these findings, the Expert Panel sets out recommendations addressing each of the factors identified in the report to help prevent similar events in the future. These include strengthened operational practices, improved monitoring of system behaviour and closer coordination and data exchange among power system actors. The findings of the investigation also underscore the need for regulatory frameworks to adapt in order to support the evolving nature of the power system. The 28 April blackout was a first of its kind event, and the recommendations aim to strengthen system resilience with solutions that are already technologically deployable. This blackout highlights how developments at the local level can have system-wide implications and underlines the importance of maintaining strong links between local and European system behaviour and coordination, while ensuring that market…

"Das Münchner ifo-Institut kommt sogar auf 95 Prozent an neu aufgenommenen Schulden, die nicht für zusätzliche Investitionen in die Infrastruktur eingesetzt worden seien." Merz, der noch 2024 Sondervermögen für Teufelszeug hielt + deren Zweckentfremdung geißelte, hat dieses Desaster zu verantworten.

Sondervermögen wird laut Studien zweckentfremdet

Vor einem Jahr verabschiedete der Bundestag das sogenannte Sondervermögen. Zwölf Monate später bemängeln Forschende: Nur ein kleiner Teil des Geldes fließe in Infrastruktur und Klimaschutzmaßnahmen.

Every pro-renewables politician should be working at 100% capacity to flip the "the greens are making your life more expensive" narrative into "the fossil fuel lobbyists are making your life more expensive" right now, but I fear our side is too nice to effectively exploit a situation like this

Maggiore was famously supported by the Foo Fighters who were major HIV/AIDS denialists and have never apologized for their role in 100ks of deaths.

I wrote about one of the saddest evenings of my life: seeing Christine Maggiore, who opposed HIV medicines, speak in San Francisco. She was one of the HIV denialists who met President Mbeki at the International AIDS Conference in Durban in 2000; she died of AIDS pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
