However, there is a crucial limitation to transparent, rule-based procedures: They can only work if there is a minimum consensus on the value of rules which everyone must adhere to - also the rich and privileged. Currently, rising fascist regimes aim to dismantle such a consensus.

Parrying Diversity-Hostility and Ethical Dilemmas of Organizing Inclusion - Journal of Business Ethics Many countries of the Global North are currently facing a strong rise in anti-diversity movements fueled by conservative, right-wing parties and authoritarian, probably fascist regimes, which also aff...

@leonido.bsky.social, @milenakley.bsky.social and I have written about the potential & limits of such procedures in a recent paper on the case of the Google Diversity Memo where an employee criticized Google's diversity policies for going too far and who was fired.

In view of the recent dismissals of university staff commenting on Kirk Christie, it becomes all the more apparent that we need transparent, rule-based procedures in organizations that handle such exclusion decisions, and work independently from conventional organizational hierarchies.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

I encourage people to watch this video. The selected footage shows the professor doing nothing even slightly out of line, whereas the student misinterprets the law and hopes to impose her religious beliefs on the material.

Administrators caving to this is terrifying.

Update: The President of Texas A&M, the largest public university in the US, removed the Dean of the College and Chair of the English Dept just hours after coming under right-wing political pressure because a student recorded herself interrupting a lecture’s class that included topics on gender.

I keep coming back to this New Yorker cartoon:

The Torment Nexus is like an "AI company telling us that the only path to solving the climate crisis is to use what’s left of Earth’s resources to power its AI in the hope that it will come up with a solution to the climate crisis."

Are you part of the Torment Nexus?

Forget carbon neutral, Northwestern develops carbon NEGATIVE concrete The quest for carbon-neutral concrete has become a billion-dollar endeavor – but a team of scientists from Northwestern gas gone one better.

Concrete is responsible for between 5 and 10% of global carbon emissions.
Now Northwestern University have made a game changing break through and created carbon negative concrete

Waldforschung: "Das Klimasystem beginnt zusammenzubrechen" Wälder verlieren an Kapazität, CO₂ aus der Luft zu ziehen. Das hat Folgen für die Klimaziele, wie Fachleute des Forschungszentrums der Europäischen Kommission zeigen

“Das Klimasystem beginnt zusammenzubrechen”
Nix einfach Bäume pflanzen. Wer das noch immer glaubt ist wirklich naiv.
Wälder werden immer häufiger zu CO2-Quellen, EU-Länder tun so als seien es Senken. Unrealistische Annahmen.

My key points:

1) It's pointless to talk about "sustainable" meat&dairy without talking about much, much less meat&dairy
2) Livestock integrated into regenerative farming & crop rotations (or off nature reserves) yields very little meat. It's not a sustainable food strategy if we all starve!

Climate necropolitics I have been thinking of politics and death recently. In fact it’s all I can think about. I think you should too.

LLMs ermöglichen die Eröffnung individualisierter, semantischer Räume. Quasi kleine semantische Mikro-Sezessionen, nur zwischen dir und der LLM, wo dir niemand blöd kommt, wo niemand wirklich "nein" sagt und "das ist Bullshit" und wo du dich in den unendlichen Pfadgelegenheiten des Latent Space verlieren kannst. Dabei kann sich dann, wie René schreibt, ein "reinforcing loop of semiotic self-radicalization" vollziehen, in dem dich die eigenen Begierden, Ängste, Phantasien und heimlich gehegten Verschwörungstheorien in die weirdesten Ecken der Trainingsdaten führen können, die zufällig auch das Geschreibsel aller Psychopathen der Menschheitsgeschichte enthalten. What could possibly go wrong?, fragt ihr euch jetzt. Während sich andere fragen: Wie kann man das weaponizen?

Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast – and the rate has doubled in 20 years Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.

Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable energy Scientists say we have reached an ‘irreversible tipping point’ that will see fossil fuels phased out

‘Half the tree of life’: ecologists’ horror as nature reserves are emptied of insects A new point in history has been reached, entomologists say, as climate-led species’ collapse moves up the food chain even in supposedly protected regions free of pesticides

"We’re at a new point in human history,” Wagner says. Up until the last decade, “the major drivers of biodiversity losses around the planet were really land degradation and land loss, habitat loss. But I think now that climate change is by far exceeding that"

If your business cannot comply with the legal requirements you simply have no business.

It's impossible to discuss the energy transition without acknowledging the fragile state of our democracy.

And it's impossible to acknowledge the fragile state of our democracy without seeing how fossil-fuel interests are undermining it to stop the energy transition.

Could this be the biggest climate story of the year?

For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand
