Morphocide, by The Breaching Experiment 13 track album

Since I’m still in vacation mood, I’ll share the result of this summer’s music project: the death metal album “Morphocide” - dealing with the turn toward fascism in the US, climate, Gaza, and more. Give it a spin! thebreachingexperiment.bandcamp.com/album/morpho...

Love this comic, but the research on resistance actually finds that anger fuels resistance. I would shift the order so it's consistent with the research findings:
Denial-> Depression-> Anger->RESISTANCE!

USA vill sluta kalla växthusgaser farliga: ”Hål i huvudet” Miljöskyddsmyndigheten EPA vill riva upp beslutet som ligger till grund för utsläppskrav på bilar, industrier och kraftverk.

”Om EPA:s förslag går igenom vill myndigheten därefter slopa utsläppsrestriktionerna för den amerikanska fordonsflottan.” Läs @simoncampanello.bsky.social

R.I.P. Ozzy. What an ending of a career and a life. Thanks for everything.

Ok, en grundläggande sak jag ännu inte greppar efter att ha spelat mestadels hårdrock på stränginstrument i trettio år: vad är det för skillnad på B och H? Jag och många med mig lever som om H inte finns.

Some very good news for academics chasing permissions & high res images.

Climate researchers face an antagonistic climate of denial, scepticism, and distrust. This impacts their communication and research negatively.

Read further in a new study published in @ambio-journal.bsky.social by Laila Mendy and me.

Our findings are concerning.

Det var en makalöst bra konsert! Synd att jag missade att hitta dig och säga hej.

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

Very good read, specifically on the different approaches toward doomerism.

Försöker bli klok på denna riktning. Det låter som lika delar Keynes och nyliberal avreglering? Ibland låter det som socialdemokrati med fokuset på offentliga investeringar, ibland som motsatsen?

In the past year we've had a series of papers with results that've shocked #climate scientists - the globe is heating #FasterThanExpected & we don't fully know why

The public discourse is not keeping up.

Here's a series of 5 new studies that climate hawks & journos need to have on their radar 🧵

Nordea sänker hållbarhetskrav – öppnar upp för olja i Arktis

Som enda svenska bank river Nordea upp sitt eget klimatlöfte och öppnar för nya lån till några av världens mest klimatskadliga fossilprojekt. Det visar en granskning av Fair Finance Guide och Naturskyddsföreningen.

Nytt rekord i utsläpp – unikt usla på klimatpolitik Under 2024 ökade utsläppen från svensk ekonomi med nästan 6 procent. Det visar färska siffror från SCB.

Makthavarna har uppdraget att investera i den teknik och de levnadssätt som krävs för att bevara planeten. Regeringen gör tvärt om. Ifjol ökade därför utsläppen i Sverige med nästan 6%. Det är unikt uselt

Good news: EU capitals are planning to reach the #climate target of 55% by 2030.

The aggregate of the 27 national plans get us to 54% according to the Commission.

These findings cut through the political noise of a 'backlash' and reveal a more consistent reality of progress.

My full take here ⬇️

I love this. Not merely since I love corvids, but because this piece does not assume that animals are idiots.

Good post. I recently got confused over just this, when “performative” was used in the second sense, meaning “just for show”. It’s the very opposite of what the term means i social theory.

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal.

And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.
