Instagram and Facebook Blocked and Hid Abortion Pill Providers’ Posts Some posts related to obtaining abortion pills were recently hidden on Instagram and Facebook and some accounts were suspended, before being later restored.

Free speech really seems to be in bloom at Meta.
"Instagram and Facebook have recently blurred, blocked or removed posts from two abortion pill providers. Instagram also suspended the accounts of several abortion pill providers"

We're getting the social media crisis wrong The bigger problem isn't disinformation. It's degraded democratic publics

"The fundamental problem, as I see it, is not that social media misinforms individuals about what is true or untrue but that it creates publics with malformed collective understandings." www.programmablemutter.com/p/were-getti...

X / Twitter shadow banning posts that mention BlueSky and Threads. Of course they are. Nothing is banned on X / Twitter ...unless it offends Musk.

AI Tool Takes Old Photos and Breathes Life Into Them Like those Harry Potter pictures.

Pretty cool if you can ignore the LSD-fuelled insanity in the background.

The delicious irony in her having to self-censor her post because she KNOWS X will shadowban it if she writes "BlueSky" in full.

Love our EVs (Ioniq 5, Kona EV) and would never go back to gas. I'd love for one of the manufacturers to release a compact pickup EV with AWD and decent ground clearance (or with a user-controlled lift-on-demand like on some Jeeps, Rivians, etc). Something much less $ than the Rivan, too.

They set out to help people leave Twitter. Now they can't keep up with demand. As Elon Musk teams up with Donald Trump, a startup is helping users move their old tweets to bluer pastures.

"After these changes in output, China’s power generation mix shifted significantly away from fossil fuels in May 2024. The share of coal-fired generation fell to 53%, down from 60% at the same time last year and the lowest share on record"

The heavily contracted time line in that graph also hides how there has been a recent flattening of the curve.

Analysis: China’s emissions set to fall in 2024 after record growth in clean energy - Carbon Brief China’s CO2 emissions are set to fall in 2024 and could be facing structural decline, due to record growth in clean energy.

"Moreover, this structural decline [in CO2 emissions] could come about despite the new wave of coal plant permitting and construction in the country."

Everything You Think You Know About Coal in China Is Wrong China’s new coal-fired power plants are cleaner than oursβ€”and stronger on climate change.

"Beijing has been steadily shutting down the nation’s older, low-efficiency, and high-emissions plants to replace them with new, lower-emitting coal plants that are more efficient that anything operating in the United States."
