Dan GillmorIt's sad but predictable to see Big Journalism fall for the latest Trump world con -- pretending that the "resignation" of the Project 2025 head and "end of policy work" (it's already completed) has any meaning whatsoever beyond performance.
Trump plans a dictatorship with all kinds of grotesque policies. That hasn't changed at all.
Come on, political journalists, do your effing jobs for once.

The recent uptick in attacks against Ukraine's energy infrastructure makes it more urgent than ever. Please boost.

Paris MarxDisappointing to see the UN Secretary General say AI has “enormous potential for sustainable development.”
It’s another bullshit tech solution that distracts from real climate action by promising a magic technofix. The UN needs to stop falling for this.

Matt Jordan"Clarify. Answer. Then Educate."
A skill they don't teach you - at least that I'm aware of, but it's possible my education just missed it - is how to answer questions in a meeting with folks making high judgment decisions.
Engineers, in particular, are really bad at this.
Our brains often work forwards from the evidence we've gathered. So we start from all the work we did, the knowledge we have, to lead folks to the inevitable conclusion.
This is a really bad idea.

TobeBToday, the atmospheric carbon dioxide readings from Mauna Loa in Hawaii, the acid test of how the world is succeeding in combatting climate change, is 422.36 parts per million.
That is 5.06ppm more than the same day last year. That rise in 12 months is probably the largest ever recorded – more than double the last decade’s annual average.
After 27 annual meetings of the convention, all the efforts of nearly 200 member states to tackle the menace of the climate crisis have been a failure, so far.

Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness against post-covid-19 condition among 589 722 individuals in Sweden: population based cohort study
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of primary covid-19 vaccination (first two doses and first booster dose within the recommended schedule) against post-covid-19 condition (PCC). Design Population based cohort study. Setting Swedish Covid-19 Investigation for Future Insights—a Population Epidemiology Approach using Register Linkage (SCIFI-PEARL) project, a register based cohort study in Sweden. Participants All adults (≥18 years) with covid-19 first registered between 27 December 2020 and 9 February 2022 (n=589 722) in the two largest regions of Sweden. Individuals were followed from a first infection until death, emigration, vaccination, reinfection, a PCC diagnosis (ICD-10 diagnosis code U09.9), or end of follow-up (30 November 2022), whichever came first. Individuals who had received at least one dose of a covid-19 vaccine before infection were considered vaccinated. Main outcome measure The primary outcome was a clinical diagnosis of PCC. Vaccine effectiveness against PCC was estimated using Cox regressions adjusted for age, sex, comorbidities (diabetes and cardiovascular, respiratory, and psychiatric disease), number of healthcare contacts during 2019, socioeconomic factors, and dominant virus variant at time of infection. Results Of 299 692 vaccinated individuals with covid-19, 1201 (0.4%) had a diagnosis of PCC during follow-up, compared with 4118 (1.4%) of 290 030 unvaccinated individuals. Covid-19 vaccination with any number of doses before infection was associated with a reduced risk of PCC (adjusted hazard ratio 0.42, 95% confidence interval 0.38 to 0.46), with a vaccine effectiveness of 58%. Of the vaccinated individuals, 21 111 received one dose only, 205 650 received two doses, and 72 931 received three or more doses. Vaccine effectiveness against PCC for one dose, two doses, and three or more doses was 21%, 59%, and 73%, respectively. Conclusions The results of this study suggest a strong association between covid-19 vaccination before infection and reduced risk of receiving a diagnosis of PCC. The findings highlight the importance of primary vaccination against covid-19 to reduce the population burden of PCC.
