Re WashPost's credulous headline, Justice Department didn't exactly "agree" to give so-called Doge access to immigration case data. This was a privacy-shredding, lawbreaking collaboration from the start.

More accurate headline: "Justice Department gives Doge sensitive personal immigration data"

31:50 "6 C" is the atomic number of carbon, not six carbons...lol. The atomic number refers to the number of protons in the nucleus, which uniquely identifies an element.

Most of the #Arctic Ocean is still covered with sea ice in April. However, the edges are observing warming at the ocean surface. Warming trends are particularly large in the North Atlantic (red shading).

I hear from my Inuit friends that the ice at the Labrador coast is not safe anymore for hunting.

I have this weird feeling that the 4% increase in global energy consumption projected by the IEA (iea.org/reports/electricity-20…), is going to be used for infrastructure to make us consume more.

Yea infrastructure like centralized heating and cooling, or food production, or housing, it "makes us" consume more, better to be out in the cold naked and starving. Morons.

to me, it seems like it would have been news that Google stopped 30 million #ads for "misinformation" in 2023 but zero in 2024 blog.zgp.org/google-ads-shitsh… (I guess misinformation has friends in high places now, and there was enough other Google news last week)

Systeemanalyse


Uit NRC: een pleidooi van twee hoogleraren tégen systeemanalyse van psychiatrische problematiek.

De heren lijken, ik vermoed vanwege een zekere vorm van kokervisie, niet te begrijpen dat, ook als het neoliberalisme niet voor 100% van de problematiek verantwoordelijk is (hell, zelfs al zou het voor slechts 10% verantwoordelijk zijn!) een dergelijke analyse alleen al relevantie heeft omdat het systeem een contingente, en dus TE VERMIJDEN oorzaak is, en omdat zo'n analyse daarmee richtinggevend kan zijn voor de politieke keuzes die we maken.

Niet omdat we intellectueel lui zijn, maar omdat het politieke oplossingen biedt.

Of, om met een tekst van Loesje te spreken: "Loesje: tegen het georganiseerd internationaal verdriet". Het woord "georganiseerd" is daarin essentieel.
