Board of Peace - Season 1

Erinnert ihr Euch? #Habeck wollte unsere Importabhängigkeit bei Energie auf 30 Prozent reduzieren. #Reiche macht das exakte Gegenteil. Unabhängigkeit bedeutet für die #Biomethan aus der #Ukraine fürs Heizen. Komplett gaga.

Aber die Rechnung kommt: Hormus ist geschlossen, die Preise steigen.

Top Barclays executive to lead UK banking supervisor Katharine Braddick’s appointment to PRA comes as government seeks to reform regulation to boost growth

Top Barclays executive to lead UK banking supervisor.

She will also serve as one of the BoE’s deputy governors

Expect more deregulation.

Revolving doors and cognitive capture is now the norm in the regulatory structures.

A regulator can't promote industry and protect people from corporate abuses

Völkerrechtler: "Diese Luftangriffe sind völkerrechtswidrig" Verstößt der Angriff auf Iran gegen internationales Recht? Völkerrechtler Christoph Safferling erklärt, warum er in den Angriffen keine Selbstverteidigung Israels und der USA sieht.

Für die Bild gibt es einen "gerechten Krieg" gegen den Iran aber keinen Genozid in Gaza. Beide Haltungen sind - wen wird es überraschen - nicht mit dem Völkerrecht vereinbar. "Law and order" gerne, aber scheinbar nicht auf internationaler Ebene.

All but 2 LNG carriers sailing to load at Qatar or the UAE turned around in the Gulf of Oman.

Windward is tracking extensive & immediate disruption to LNG carriers, with at least 8 abruptly changing course before transiting the Strait of Hormuz within a four-hour window on February 28.

It’s sad that this is the reality.

British.

A social media post from Donald J. Trump on Truth Social, posted 9 minutes ago. The text reads: "Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces renewed war with United States:" followed by a link to justthenews.com. Below is a link preview showing the article headline "Iran tried to interfere in 2020, 2024 elections to stop Trump, and now faces possible war with U.S." accompanied by a photo from what appears to be an Iranian protest or rally, showing demonstrators holding anti-Trump signs and posters with Persian text.

I am going to need every single person who said that misinformation was a moral panic to feel enough shame and regret that they leave public intellectual life.

White background. “Big Tech often masks the climate impacts of Al by: [flying money emoji] Hiding emissions using creative accounting, such as buying certificates for renewable energy. [bubbles emoji] Overselling empty promises based on future technology. [emoji of person doing shush motion] Drip-feeding incomplete data to downplay the harmful effects of Al's insatiable appetite. [emoji of person shrugging] Claiming it's already too late to avoid responsibility. [person with invisible serious face] Setting ambitious climate targets with no real action to achieve them.” Footer line. “The new Al climate hoax is here. Brought to you by: [Logos for Google, OpeNAI, Microsoft, Meta] and more…” “Parody. Not a message from the companies shown. Based on independent research.”

#BigTech frames AI as a climate solution.

But our new report takes off the rose-tinted smart glasses and shows a harsher reality: plenty of evidence that power-hungry generative AI is harming our planet, and little solid proof it can fight climate change.

Great that German gas reservoirs are historically low 😬

The American people now see Trump for who he is — a would-be dictator who does not care what Americans think or want, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, and sees himself as a kind of eighteenth-century king, with unlimited power to drag us into wars without the consent of the people.

I guess when they started calling it the Department of War instead of Defense they did it for a reason.

Tulsi literally sold shirts

our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor

No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.

No doubt Tulsi Gabbard is drafting her resignation letter as we speak.

Just thinking about how lots of people in the White House are making money off of this

Deeply conflicted, Kushner represents the U.S. in high-stakes negotiations with Iran Today in Geneva, Switzerland, Jared Kushner will represent the United States in meetings with Iranian officials — a last-ditch effort to avoid war.

Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran.

Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense

These attacks are illegal, insane, and immoral. The power to declare war lies with Congress and they must act to block this immediately.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

You can just say things.

When you see the disconnect between industry forecasts & reality, suddenly my own #Bettrification thesis doesn’t seem so outrageous. If anything, the real stretch is believing exponential cost curves quietly stop after decades of proving the opposite. 2025 saw >2.5TW cumulative solar capacity.

Air power and elite special forces both make leaders feel like they have costless military options because any consequences are abstracted and delayed.

Those unable to value delayed gratification are equally unable to conceive of any price that's not immediate and obvious.

Absurdly dangerous.

One other issue here is while there is rightly discussion about what happens if the Iranian regime survives and Trump et al have no plan for what next, there also needs to be more discussion of scenarios where the regime falls and Trump et al have no plan for what next
