All Protocol Observed
Welcome to Issue 237 of The Continent
Mali has been at war since 2012 but its people press on. This time it's different: coordinated attacks and insurgent blockades are halting daily life, while Assimi Goïta fights to stay in power.

Threat modelling implies the existence of threat modelling agencies, threat fashion shows, threat celebrity designers, and threat supermodels, which is all a sentence that started out as a joke but I think I’m on to something.

Ett gott samarbete mellan partierna i riksdagen handlar om tillit och respekt för överenskommelser. Men istället uppvisar SD bristande vandel när de helt skiter i ingångna avtal. www.expressen.se/nyheter/poli...

Goodlander: Do you agree with the statement, “the military won't follow unlawful orders.”
Hegseth: I do, but understand what you're insinuating is a partisan point.
Goodlander: I’m actually quoting you directly from 2016.

Won't you look at that. It seems we have liftoff for an *economic* transition away from fossil fuels.
The transition needs to be economic, because some poorer countries rely on fossil fuels to service their debt. So debt cancellation is part of the package.

Two days of national mourning have been declared in Mali after the country's defence minister was killed in an attack by Al-Qaeda linked group JNIM, who have allied with Tuareg rebels. Despite their disagreements, the two sides joined forces to fight against the Malian army, which is supported by Russian mercenaries.

“More than 50 nations are attending a world-first conference on phasing out fossil fuels in Colombia next week as the Iran war underscores how dependent countries remain on planet-heating coal, oil and gas.”

Uppenbarligen behöver en del av våra politiker läsa #Regeringsformen.
Här några godbitar:
"All offentlig makt i Sverige utgår från folket."
"Den offentliga makten ska utövas med respekt för alla människors lika värde och för den enskilda människans frihet och värdighet."
"Var och en är gentemot det allmänna tillförsäkrad
1. yttrandefrihet ...
2. informationsfrihet ...
3. mötesfrihet ...
4. demonstrationsfrihet ...
5. föreningsfrihet ...
6. religionsfrihet ..."
Bra saker att ha koll på.

I mars kom årsrapporten från WMO, som konstaterar att jordens klimat är mer ur balans än vad som någonsin uppmätts. SVT Rapport valde att ägna rapporten 35 sekunder. Aktuellt tog inte upp den alls www.journalisten.se/debatt/slutr...

Some 23.2 percent of the respondents said they prioritized convenience in everyday life, while 54.2 % said they would take actions for the environment even at their personal inconvenience, according to a 2025
The results stood in stark contrast to those of a 2018 survey, where 70.5 percent said they would prioritize the environment while only 12 percent said personal convenience was more important

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

this is a really interesting example of the toxic positivity that is pervasive, even in my own writing. everybody wants to have a CTA and a solution at the end of their talk. nobody wants to write a thing that just says "dang this is a big intractable problem" and kind of shrug at the end and look at the audience and say "what do *you* think we should do?" when that is often the state of the art and further claims are unjustified by the evidence

HUGE error by the @ec.europa.eu. Big tech must tell the public everything about energy, water and other used resources in their data centers.
They use our common resources and we must know how they use it to take informed decisions.
