We can never let research influence political decisions ;)
“Research suggests permanent standard time — the time we return to in the fall — is more closely aligned with the body’s internal clock than permanent daylight time, which several provinces have chosen.”
Get used to being thirsty.
In 2019, the New York Times highlighted investment opportunities arising from water scarcity, specifically in companies involved in water treatment, testing and distribution.
There’s something revealing about how quickly a looming environmental crisis can be translated into a market opportunity.
Love it.
The tide will not change until we demonstrate our ability to shut down all domestic commercial activity for as long as it takes. That will take preparation and discipline.
LFG.

Gotta spend a fortune to keep a fortune.
Most of them misreport events as experienced by those who were there. I have lived in France for decades. Some media have mentioned “weeks of rioting in France” which is completely false. There was a peaceful demonstration on Saturday. As usually happens, thugs came in and joined and started violent actions and vandalism. Then criminals came and begn looting and more destruction. The worst damage was caused came the troublemakers who are just as likely likely right wing provocateurs. The presidential elections are a few months away, and the extreme right RN party is gaining much support due to billionaire-owned media and possibly other states.
Trust no one when it comes to information.
For @hackernoon@mas.to, Alan Bonnici gives his opinion on why we shouldn’t blame tech tools, but the people who run them. He also proposes rules and regulations.
What do you think?
It’s very easy to get depressed by the state of politics right now, but then you see interactions like this one, and it rekindles your faith. A new generation of politicians will come forward and they will be different.
Local opposition is one way to rein in a data center project. Taking them to court is another.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with Martha Dark to talk about challenging data centers in court, including over local impacts and environmental harm.

Citing concerns about misinformation and hate, @ScottishGreens@mastodon.scot have (Finally!) made the decision to leave X.
They cited Mastodon as one of the platforms they can still be found on, I hope they increase engagement on the fediverse.
Politicians not using fascist mouthpieces is good actually. Some of their accounts can be found at @EdinburghGreens@mastodon.scot @HI_Greens@mastodon.scot @PerthKinrossGreens@mastodon.scot @maggiechapman@mastodon.scot @patrickharvie@mastodon.scot @katenevens@mastodon.scot

Reading @alineblankertz@indieweb.social & @malteengeler@legal.social book ‘Digitale Solidarität’ in German 🤓
My understanding so far: this book aims to provide a political left perspective on how to create a better digital world than the current one. First by discussing the problems of capitalism & digitalisation followed by proposals for a diff approach. It pleads to combine digital & social issues, because they cannot be seen separately. They are part of the same struggle ✊
“In awarding this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee wants to remind the world that the rule of law – national and international – underpins the system we have set up to ensure peace and resolve conflicts non-violently. Peace requires justice.”
Happy to see our @publicspaces@publicspaces.net letter to parliament getting more traction.
The committee on digital affairs has requested the minister & state secretary to provide an answer to our letter:
Almost 40 organizations request Dutch parliament to take measures against US sanctions & side-effects to protect Dutch/EU citizens & organizations:

🔮 I’m gonna take a wild guess that there will be a miraculous trade “deal” between Canada & the US in the week before the US midterm election day.
…and that Carney will regret whatever transpires in & around it by the time the year comes to an end.
RE: social.vivaldi.net/@everton137/…
Good question: “if Trump can communicate through his own social media platform and media outlets still follow and report what he says there, why wouldn’t the same happen if another major political leader moved elsewhere?”
“It’s a retro-cutesy version of the nightmarish and very real scenes of ICE agents forcing immigrants, chained in a line, onto deportation planes. Other games in the ‘arcade’ include Build the Wall, a Tetris rip-off in which the user builds a wall to ‘protect the border from the coming horde.’”

Vaughan Tomlinson (Guardian cartoons) on the abiding truth of the super rich….
Jetzt wird mir auch klar warum die extremkonservativen gerade durchdrehen.
I love a cartoon that sums up a line of argument I have often made as a political economist, so here’s a great example from the (recently deceased) P.C.Vey - whose work appeared in the New Yorker & elsewhere.
