#ClimateDiary “Above is a fictional weather forecast for August 18, 2050, broadcast by French television in 2014, intended to warn against the disastrous consequences of global warming.

Below is the weather forecast for June 22, 2026.”

(By @jakubwiech on unmentionable)

This brings out super starkly how #ClimateChange has accelerated so much more quickly than we thought even just 12 years ago.

God humor ovre hos Politiken 😂

The ancient builders of Stonehenge placed the giant stones with such precision that each year on the summer solstice, you can see pictures of them all over social media.

Everything else aside, if the CEO of a major company (but still a tiny fraction of the size of the US government) was visibly spending half his time fretting about refurbishing the fountain in front of corporate headquarters, the stock would tank and the board would fire them.
Fucking landmænd.

Today, tech opportunists and chatbots define Luddites as anti-technology, naive, backwards, anti-progress. It is wrong, acc to this very good read by Brian Merchant: The real Luddites were not opposed to technology. They were opposed to the way technology was being used against them.
My take; The real Luddites of today are fighting for human rights, democracy (playing by the rules) and a clean planet - in direct opposition to the tech bros who fight for their own wealth

Understanding the Luddites in the age of AI

The Luddites are back in fashion, but too many people still get them all wrong. This is what they really stood for, fought against, and why they matter now more than ever.

Jeg har sovet ude på min terrasse i nat. Luften er så vidunderligt sommermild og duftende af de blomstrende ligusterhække. Man kan høre flyene fra lufthavnen, men det er fuglene der sætter scenen. En tyk humlebi flyver ind og ud af trompetbuskens røde blomster.
Jeg prøver at lukke øjnene lidt igen 😴
Hvis man undrer sig over hvorfor regeringen ikke ønsker at pege på en gerningsmand, er dette nok svaret.

Hvis der ikke havde været droner, havde man bare sagt det. Hemmelighedskræmmeriet skyldes med meget større sandsynlighed at der var droner, og at man gerne vil være fri for at beviserne peger på en bestemt gerningsmand.
