Drawing with watercolour I made for our 21st anniversary. This is the church of Saint Alban sur Limagnole, in Lozère, where my lovely wife and I got married.

100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. They told YOU to recycle better while they polluted more. Don't fall for it. Hold systems accountable. #ClimateCrisis

Running and walking in the French Lozère countryside. A really beautiful place.

REMEMBER: They all knew.

Such a clear explanation. Shame nobody listened.

41 years ago, Carl Sagan gave a clear and elegant explanation of the science behind global warming.

How radical an idea is it to nationalise every oil company to force them to stop ruining our planet and act responsibly, and not have to bow shareholders ? #infernearth #climate

TO THE 30% STILL SUPPORTING TRUMP, YOU ARE BY FAR THE DUMBEST PEOPLE OF ALL TIME.

Sounds like a plan

It’s HOT! Don’t forget to unplug your local Data center to stay cool.

If companies can't run data centres without polluting our air and water, pushing up energy bills, abusing workers' rights, harming local communities or wrecking the climate – then they shouldn't be allowed to run them A safe climate and healthy environment are necessities – tech bro profits aren't

EU weighs weaker data centre climate rules in win for Big Tech

Past proposals for strict rules on renewable energy certificates have been dropped after heavy lobbying, draft shows

Of course they did.

Tesla Allegedly Showed Cooked Data to Get Full Self-Driving Approved

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...

TESLA: A shitty company that loses money and makes bad cars that blow up. TWITTER: A shitty platform that ruined civil discourse and loses money. SPACEX: A shitty company whose rockets explode and only survived thanks to government welfare. WALL STREET: "OMG! Elon Musk is a business genius!!!!!"

Honestly, I'm not against people having the opportunity to become rich. But fuck that Nazi becoming a trillionaire.

Oooooh I had missed Ivory Tower! The Bear is back 😂

13 workers left Palantir and issued this statement. "Palantir is increasingly complicit, normalizing authoritarianism under the guise of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs. We must resist this trend."

These politicians exploit democracy to undermine European security. 🧵 1/16 ⬇️

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

Jeff Bezos and his wife are the lead sponsors of tonight's Met Gala. Now seems like a good time to remind folks of all the ways Bezos is shafting American consumers and Amazon workers — and how his wealth is putting our democracy at risk. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/amazon-ceo-jeff-bezos

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

And How to Stop It

Spot on. Spotify off.

Using Spotify is just as bad as using X, in some aspects, even more consequential: Spotify is actively killing music, not just exploiting musicians. All other streaming platforms are better, and have as wide a choice. Migrating your playlists is dead easy. Please leave that evil platform - now.
