The decision of so many people to keep using X in its race-war phase has made me a bit more cynical overall about the ability to draw moral red lines. It’s beyond disappointing.

![Made hundreds of wristbands for a conference that suddenly got renamed - from subreddit "mildly infuriating" - I run a small company, and designed and printed hundreds of high quality rubber wristbands for my cousin's Crypto conference. I had to do different colours [poster's note: spelled with a U] for the different levels of entry. out of nowhere yesterday he suddenly announced he was renaming the conference and moving it partially online. and could only afford to pay me if I produced more with the new name. I've spent a week on this so far and was already giving him family rates.

In France, they showed an ad during the hydration break presenting a match between “electricity” (ELEC) and “fossil fuels” (FOSS). Electricity won, with the commentator simply noting: “bien pour le climat“
"News is treated as a series of isolated events rather than as part of a larger story that requires context and analysis" - almost like this is the primary malfunction of the news media at large!
Wolfgang Blau@wblau.bsky.social · 4w ago“It argues that news coverage of the heatwave increasingly overlooks the fundamental ‘why'”. pressgazette.co.uk/news/climate...
#r4today running an item on "extreme hot weather making the electricity system unmanageable because it's no longer based on coal and gas" without mentioning climate change once. Irony is dead.
