Good news on the global #energy capacity front: solar and wind are up, coal and gas (methane) are down. Proving we have the tools to fight an increasingly dangerous #climate. Scientists say we need the political will to transition faster. @CFigueres #environment #climatechange

Remember, the answer to car-dependant “retail sprawl” can’t just be green tech on buildings in the fundamentally wrong place — & “better cars” isn’t the answer either. Rethink the land-use, mobility, the whole thing. Otherwise you’re just doing the wrong things better.

there should be Fediverse listings instead of Mastodon listings
Mastodon ≠ Fediverse
let people choose for themselves

Sp I wrote a pretty lengthy blog post entitled:

# Eugen Rochko, CEO of Mastodon, Found to Support Nazi's Agenda

Sadly I wish it was clickbait.

You can all read it here:

It is the pinnacle of the recent drama. I will also be sharing it on twitter, linking the joinmastodon account there. I tried to include most of the evidence in the article. Hopefully this will have some positive result

💰 And yet “oversight failure” is a feature not a bug for the Ponzi scheme pump and dumpers who are now cashed out from crypto into real money.

The Democrats win in court again.

A win for voting rights.

So I guess the Georgia Republicans did appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court, but no worries. They lost.

Saturday voting in Georgia will take place during the run-offs.

Sad when your party platform is to reduce the opportunities to vote. What's ironic is that the Republicans were also hurting their own voters.

New dispatch from @annabower: There was not a ray of hope for the former president–or for Judge Aileen Cannon–in the dark skies of yesterday’s court of appeals hearing.

I want to be happy here.

But my Black friends keep getting banned for doing justice work.

Or just... Existing.

At a much quieter volume than I do.

If people didn’t know me or who I’m connected to, would I be gone by now too? 😔

How do you exist in a world where your cultural norm is frowned upon?

Why do I always have to compromise with the oppression dynamic

or get removed? 😭

It’s painful.

And there’s no reason to it.

And all the “solutions” include bowing to that same dynamic.
