It’s time we sorted out the press. Constant misinformation to protect their donors and fossil fuels is destroying lives and our planet. The Government must step up and stop being cowardly.

Nathan Cofnas clearly is a racist with a racist political agenda. This is a crucial aspect of the Arday tragedy and is mostly ignored or minimized in the media accounts. Extraordinary that Cofnas is a postdoc at Ghent University. 🇧🇪
Gregory Kohn@kohngregory.bsky.social · 2d agoIn the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.
I'm not saying he did nothing wrong. He definitely exaggerated achievements and made some false claims. I'm not sure what to make of the plagiarism allegation. But, as we confront environmental, political and economic emergencies, on a scale of 1-10 the importance of this story is roughly 0.01.
"AI is the idea that we can just give up on having a theoretical basis for the world and switch to these theory-free inferences. It's very hard to unwind false positives when you don't have a theory, because you don't know how to test it." - @doctorow.pluralistic.net www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRRm...

Perfino i governi più reazionari sanno bene che la transizione energetica non soltanto è utile ma addirittura necessaria. Seppur lentamente, vengono approvate leggi e progetti fondamentali, ma guai a parlarne sennò la base negajola e complottara non li vota più. www.qualenergia.it/pro/articoli...

Corriere della Sera calls Italy’s ruling coalition “Conservative” just because Meloni claims it is. Political science says otherwise: backed by extensive literature, this alliance is firmly driven by the populist radical right (League & Brothers of Italy).
So NYT reports that Third Way will spend $15-million to discredit democratic socialism ahead of the presidential elections. “Their fear: Dr. El-Sayed was paving a path for a progressive to seize the party’s presidential nomination in 2028 — and then go on to lose the general election.” Except...

The arguments trotted out against leaving fossil fuels in the ground are strikingly similar to the arguments trotted out against ending the slave trade, 230 years ago. 1. If we stop trading slaves / extracting fossil fuels, Britain’s economy will collapse 🧵
My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
