Die Stadt #Essen möchte gerne mein "Ja" fĂŒr #olympia kurz nachdem sie verkĂŒndet hat, sie hĂ€tte kein Geld um RTW Fahrten ihrer BĂŒrger*innen zu bezahlen**.
Genau mein Humor.

5.5 tonnes per hour is the amount of methane emitted by a single oil and gas site in the United States â equivalent to running about a million SUVs â according to an analysis that names and shames the worst methane leakers in the world.
The super-polluting plumes from oil and gas facilities have a colossal heating impact on the climate but often result from poor maintenance and can be simple to fix.
It is "maddening" that such easy action to fight the climate crisis is not being taken. People should be angry.
Stopping the leaks can even be free, given that captured gas can be sold â methane is the "natural gas" that fires power stations.

Excellent article, by Blain Smith (@blainsmith), on the need for a broader education, especially for computer programmers:

Thanks to Sacha Chua (@sacha) for including this in her most recent weekly Emacs news post.
Edit: proper links for people mentioned.
@sacha @blainsmith Good example indeed.
I'm retired now but all during my research and teaching career, I found that the best programmers were those that had a broader background than just programming and also mathematicians (as maths is really philosophy đ).
«Anhand der chemischen Zusammensetzung der GehÀuse der Foraminiferen kann man die Schwankungen der Meeresspiegel nachvollziehen und mathematisch die Schwankungen der TageslÀnge ableiten», erklÀrt Erstautor Kiani Shahvandi von der UniversitÀt Wien.

#Klimawandel bremst Erde: VerĂ€nderung der TageslĂ€nge beispiellos in Millionen Jahren â Departement Bau, Umwelt und Geomatik | ETH ZĂŒrich
https://baug.ethz.ch/news-und-veranstaltungen/news/2026/03/klimawandel-bremst-die-erde-aktuelle-veraenderung-der-tageslaenge-beispiellos-in-den-letzten-36-millionen-jahren.html
Der Klimawandel verlĂ€ngert unsere Tage, da das Ansteigen der Meeresspiegel die Erdrotation verlangsamt. Wissenschaftler der UniversitĂ€t Wien und der ETH ZĂŒrich konnten nun zeigen, dass der derzeitige Anstieg der TageslĂ€nge â 1,33 Millisekunden pro Jahrhundert â in den letzten 3,6 Millionen Jahren klar hervorsticht. Die Schwankungen der Tageszeit vor Millionen von Jahren ermittelte das Team mithilfe der fossilen Ăberreste einzelliger Meeresorganismen, sogenannter benthischer Foraminiferen.
Watched that Louis Theroux manosphere documentary where that dude was like "what did women ever do to build the modern world?"
Well, for a start: the broad concept of computer programming, the first compiler, radio frequency hopping, numerous programming languages, the pertussis vaccine, chemotherapy, gas-powered central heating, and the use of the electric guitar for rock'n'roll.
God knows how to weigh those achievements up against hosting podcasts and wearing ill-fitting suits.
@aral if I want to see an 80 year old man make a fool out of himself I'd go to a village fete
instead we're watching the bizarre mental breakdown of a guy who speaks for 342 million people and may very possibly kill us all out of spite
