S14, Ep5 | How the Fossil Fuel Industry Sabotages Climate Action
Investigating the obstacles to action on climate change.
The strategy does not develop linearly, it is adaptive and multifaceted. A summary of what we know about the fossil fuel industry and climate obstruction. Me, @kertdavies.bsky.social and @geoffdembicki.bsky.social in conversation with the great @amywestervelt.bsky.social

Key takeaways:
-Misinformation isn’t just false facts—it’s tied to our social belonging.
-Media literacy tools can help build critical-thinking muscles.
-Broadening identities and conversations across different groups = stronger defenses against misleading info.

As part of our In Conversation series, anthropologist @slaydok.bsky.social spoke with architecture writer @pauldobraszczyk.bsky.social & practitioner/researcher Joyce Hwang about their visions for a discipline that regards nonhuman animals as subjects of human design — and sometimes vice versa. 🦊

Linking Silicon Valley's NRx 'California Forever' to Kigali's technocratic master plans, our article of the week explores how illiberalism thrives through urban density and the viral speed of digital 'Extrastatecraft'.

One of the greatest owns in history
(Screenshot of book excerpt)
A member of parliament, Thomas Massey-Massey, was introducing a motion to change the name of Christmas to Christ-tide, on the grounds that mass is a Catholic festival, inappropriate to a Protestant country. He was interrupted by a member opposite who asked him how he would like to be called 'Thotide Tidey-Tidey'. The bill was forgotten in the uproar.

I considered deleting social media, softening my tone in my research, & avoiding the no-no words in order to avoid being targeted by government. But I remembered that none of that would matter because I’m still black and a woman. So I might as well go down in a blaze of glory. Fuck Donald Trump.

Naturvårdsverket: Sverige missar samtliga klimatmål
Sverige ser inte ut att klara något av sina nationella klimatmål för 2030, 2040 eller 2045 – eller EU:s bindande mål till 2030.
Sverige klarar med nuvarande politik inte något av sina nationella klimatmål för 2030, 2040 eller 2045, inte heller EU:s bindande mål till 2030. Naturvårdsverkets rapport skräder inte orden. Sveriges klimatpolitik pendlar mellan en fars och en tragedi.

92 fall av dödligt våld under 2024
Antalet fall av dödligt våld 2024 var den lägsta uppmätta nivån sedan 2014. Antalet fall var färre för både kvinnliga och manliga dödsoffer. Den våldsmetod som minskade mest var kniv eller annat stick...
Det dödliga våldet under förra året var under 100 döda för första gången sedan ökningen som började 2015.
Det är väldigt goda nyheter.
Tyvärr var genomgången på StudioEtt i morse av Brå-rapporten inte jättebra och innehöll flera felaktigheter. Man måste inte jäkta fram sånt här.

1938 krävde Nazityskland att utländska företag som gjorde affärer med Tyskland skulle ”arianiseras”, dvs rensa ut judar, i enlighet med då gällande tyska lagar.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

Ny studie från Försvarshögskolan:
Inför valet 2022 var 15% av alla användare och 20% av allt innehåll producerat av bottar. Syftet var att attackera rödgröna partierna.
Vill ni gissa vilket parti som låg bakom?

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world.
I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

Thank God neo-Nazis were still able to hold their annual gathering in Budapest in February, commemorating the last stand of German Nazis and their Hungarian allies at the end of World War II.
Certainly less dangerous than tolerance, acceptance, and diversity.

Just in: #Hungary's parliament has passed a bill targeting #Pride, effectively banning gatherings that "promote homosexuality." Participants could face fines of up to 200,000 HUF ($550).
