In a landmark advisory opinion, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled that governments have a legal obligation to tackle climate change. #ClimateChange

The team behind Trump's World Liberty Financial project has proposed lifting restrictions on the WLFI "governance token" to make it tradeable. I predicted shortly after its launch that if Trump succeeded in gutting the SEC, he would do this.

This would lift the substantial restrictions on the token (non-US or accredited investors only, locked tokens with no secondary sales) that were aimed at sidestepping attention from the previous SEC, and could be enormously lucrative for Trump.

Proposal: Make $WLFI Token Tradable General Jul 4 1m WLFI_Team 1d Summary This proposal is presented to solicit community input and formally initiate the tradability of the token. This would mark a major milestone in the development of the World Liberty Financial ecosystem and opens the door for broader community participation, access, and protocol development. ⸻ Proposal Objectives • Make $WLFI transferable, thereby enabling broader community access to governance participation, whether through peer to peer transactions or secondary markets • Transition the WLFI ecosystem from closed to open participation • Enable greater token utility access • Begin the next phase of community ownership and engagement • Align long-term token incentives with protocol adoption and success ⸻ Early Supporter Unlocking • A portion of WLFI supply was sold to early supporters • A portion of these tokens will be eligible to be unlocked upon launch of tradability • The remainder of the tokens will be subject to a second vote by the community to determine the unlock and release schedule • Founders, team, and advisor tokens will not be unlocked initially and will be subject to a longer unlock schedule than early supporters to demonstrate long-term commitment and alignment with the success of the protocol • Timing and any eligibility requirements for unlock to be determined subsequently.
Why Now? Over the last year, WLFI has made significant progress across product development, ecosystem partnerships, and brand awareness. With strong demand from community members and partners, many community members have said that the timing is right to make WLFI tradable and initiate this next chapter in our collective journey. ⸻ Governance & Community Role Following the vote to make the token tradable, WLFI’s governance framework will enable more token holders to participate directly in protocol decisions. This includes voting on emissions, ecosystem incentives, and future treasury actions. This proposal is the first step in handing greater influence to the community. ⸻ Next Steps (If Approved) • Execute and enable transferability • Initiate distribution for eligible early supporters • Begin community governance with a second vote on remaining unlocks • Continue ecosystem expansion and partner integrations ⸻ Voting Options • YES: Proceed with WLFI tradability • NO: Maintain current token non-transferability and closed network status ⸻ Final Note This is a defining moment for World Liberty Financial. The foundation has been laid, the community is growing, and we’re ready to move forward. Launching WLFI as a tradable token brings us one step closer to building a more open, transparent, and powerful financial system. Let’s build it together. — The WLFI Team

It was several years ago so I don't remember the details unfortunately.

I think we were discussing if they could take over some of our geant4 simulations because we were hitting the monthly limits of our allocation.

Maybe they didn't think they could get a smaller allocation at CINECA in that situation, and didn't have a cluster local to the institute?

Tesla is more profitable than traditional automakers because it earns billions by selling emissions credits to companies that fail to meet fuel-efficiency (CAFE) standards.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ends those penalties. Additionally the OBBBA also ends the $7500 tax credit on new EV purchases.

Between the OBBBA and Tesla’s declining sales, this may be the year Elon’s reality distortion field keeping $TSLA stock defying gravity finally breaks down.

Our media and politicians are engaged in the biggest mass gaslighting exercise I've ever seen in my life.

All of us can clearly see what's going on in Gaza. And yet we're constantly told that it somehow isn't what it very obviously is. That describing what we see is antisemitism.

That even if they concede that maybe sometimes some of the horrific war crimes are actually a bit problematic, there's never anything we can do.

How much damage is this relentless lying doing to our society?

Happy #Higgsdependence Day! Today is the anniversary of the discovery the Higgs Particle. The discovery was announced July 4, 2012.

The existence of the Higgs is the sign that fundamental symmetry is broken in nature. Perfect symmetry is not good for a universe like ours. With it, intrinsic mass as we know it cannot exist. Today we celebrate freedom from mathematical symmetry ... a universe made wonderful by its disrespect for sameness.

A packed room admires the twin independent discoveries of the same new fundamental particle, the Higgs.

The Guadeloupe River @ Comfort, Texas rose 12.93 feet in 15 minutes this morning. That's 10.34" per minute or an inch every 6 SECONDS. That's one of the fastest rises I've ever seen. Very hard to get away from that kind of flash flooding.

Space Environmentalism

"As #space junk increases, more operators are choosing to launch without any #insurance at all. To compensate, companies are cutting back on the cost of satellites and launching more of them at faster rates, thus creating a feedback loop as the cheaper satellites break up more easily and add to the problem. Behind the predicament are two vectors moving in opposite directions: The cost of launching satellites is falling, while the cost of insuring them continues to soar.”

Not very related, but what is the big computing situation in Italy?

During discussions with some collaborators in INAF at Brera it sounded like they barely had desktop computers and were thinking of using Amazon to do their big calculations, so I'm (in hindsight unjustifiably) surprised you have this big machine.

Remember in 1996 when a group of Christian women battered the living shit out of a BAE Hawk aircraft and got acquitted at trial. I'll jog your memory:

Seeds of Hope (the Ploughshares four), which  was a group of four women who, in 1996, broke into a British Aerospace factory and used hammers to damage a Hawk fighter jet. Their action was a protest to prevent the plane's sale to Indonesia for use in the conflict in East Timor. The women were acquitted of criminal damage after arguing they were acting to prevent the greater crime of genocide. They caused about £1.5mill of damage.

Två erkännanden. Ett: jag ser inte bylinen i min klient, så det var aldrig så att jag tänkte att du citerade dig själv i rubriken vilket gjorde ditt senare dementi roligt, och jag bestämde mig för att retas lite.

Två: jag läste din byline slarvigt i papperstidningen för kanske 15 år sen, och sedan dess trodde jag, tills helt nyligen, att du hette "de la Guerra" i efternamn.

End Israeli Apartheid

The British government is being rocked by a growing public backlash to Israel’s 21-month slaughter in Gaza and the UK’s active collusion in it.

That fallout came to a head over the weekend, when Bob Vylan led Glastonbury’s crowds in chanting: “Death, death to the IDF.”

The UK government is still supplying parts for the F-35 fighter jets dropping bombs on Gaza’s people. It has massively increased UK arms exports to Israel.

Satellite Constellations Exceed the Limits of Acceptable Brightness Established by the IAU

A plot of brightness means and standard deviations of satellite constellations versus altitude, in contrast with the "research limit" pertaining to interference with professional research, and the "aesthetic reference" above which the aesthetic appreciation of the night sky is spoiled.

German chancellor Merz casually dismisses Germany's (already insufficient) #climate targets. In an hour-long talkshow interview, he was asked to complete some sentences:

Host: "That the current heat wave is a sign of climate change ..."
Merz: "... is partially true, but surely not exclusively."

Host: "That [economics minister] Katharina Reiche questions the 2045 climate target ...'
Merz: "... has something to do with a realistic view of what we can actually achieve."

#StateOfAffairs

In a studio setting tinged in shades of purple, host Sandra Maischberger sits on an opulent modern chair across from chancellor Friedrich Merz. Both are wearing a dark suit. He had receding hair and glasses, she sports a wavy semi-short hair cut.
