Interesting …

in the end federation means federation and so it’s good if more communities are joined, even if you are critical of them.

Is there a magic website where I can compare estimated carbon footprints for businesses? Specifically, I'd like to compare Alphabet and Amazon. I'm assuming Amazon's is much larger due to the physical logistics of moving goods around. But I don't really know what all is tucked under Alphabet along with Google.

Marc Andreessen: “And another thing! We would’ve solved climate change in the 70s if the pesky environmentalists hadn’t killed nuclear power!”

Also Marc Andreessen: “I’m proud to announce we’re working with one of the most brutal, repressive, corrupt regimes in history to help them launder their oil money on a computer that uses ⅛ of the global electric supply to generate ransom notes.”

Hur kan det komma sig att Putin fick 87%...?

Schools throughout Russia have begun piloting a new extracurricular program in which students are shown Putin’s interview with Tucker Carlson before competing in a quiz about the “reasons” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, sanctions, and related topics.

@jeffowski Reminds me of the guy who tried to negotiate with the quartet for his wedding.
"If you think we're pricey," the band leader said, "I'll make you a deal. Call the local union and get a quote for four plumbers to work five hours on a Saturday night. We'll take that amount instead."

Methane emissions from oil and gas sites are three times higher than official U.S. government estimates suggest, according to a new study.

Methane leaking or intentionally vented from production sites has been a pervasive feature of the U.S. shale industry for many years. But operators, as well as the US Environmental Protection Agency, have tended to use rough estimates and expected leakage rates for various equipment, rather than physically measuring production sites.

“In long-established – so resilient – democracies where far-right parties are in power, or influencing power, such as Italy and Sweden, Liberties said deterioration of the rule of law, while gradual, risked becoming systemic.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/18/rule-of-law-declining-across-eu-report-warns

In Italy and Sweden, whose governments are respectively led and propped up by far-right parties, Liberties’ partners reported rule-of-law regression in areas including the justice system, media freedom and pluralism, civic space and human rights.

Det här blir ju ännu löjligare än jag trodde var möjligt. När drygt 30 procent av "rösterna" i det ryska "presidentvalet" är räknade uppges Putin ha fått 87,68% av rösterna. Peskov kanske hade rätt när han förra året förutspådde att Putin skulle få 90%.

Läs här om varför valet i Ryssland inte är något val.

Hey, Mastodon! Indiana's attorney general has created an anti-teacher snitch portal for people to report school teachers for being too woke. It allows you to upload files and everything!

There appears to be no safeguard against entering any text you want in any of the boxes, and no location/residence checking.

Dare I ask you to do your thing?

Boosts welcome!
