We are one in fighting climate change.

Our latest special Eurobarometer survey shows it:

• 93% believe climate change is a serious problem facing the world.

• 93% of Europeans have already taken individual climate actions and made sustainable choices.

• 87% think it is important that we set ambitious targets to increase renewable energy.

Our #EUGreenDeal is all about it.

Let's build this future together.

i love how much the current wave of #AI fucks with the cultural tropes we had about computer intelligence. instead of cold, rigid, logical planners, they are moody lumps of intuitions, who respond differently when you ask nicely, have trouble staying on topic, and may just make up stuff that "sounds about right".

i think many false expectations are because we can't quite imagine computers doing things like that.

they still can't make good jokes tho 😅.

Kennedy directly sparred with Democrats on the committee. “Virtually every statement that you just made about me is inaccurate,” Kennedy said. “I have never been anti-vax. I have never told the public to avoid vaccination,” he declared. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/rfk-jr-testimony-house-congress-vaccines-anti-vax-1234792491/

Populistinen #retoriikka uhkaa demokratiaa, kirjoittaa emeritusprofessori Jukka #Kekkonen.

"Kärjistämättä on syytä lausua ääneen, että suuntaa kuvastaa parhaiten #UnkarinTie, jossa demokraattisen #oikeusvaltio n periaatteita ja käytäntöjä sekä median toimintaa on jo pitkään systemaattisesti murennettu."

"Substack CEO Chris Best said he didn't want to "engage in speculation" about statements like “all brown people are animals.""

Given another opportunity to answer correctly by the interviewer, “You know this is a very bad response to this question, right? You’re aware that you’ve blundered into this. You should just say no. And I’m wondering what’s keeping you from just saying no,"

He declined.

So, fuck him. And fuck his site.

I'll NEVER use Substack. #BlackMastodon

Did you know Tesla has cameras both on the outside of vehicles and the inside, and everything is uploaded to Tesla? Anyhoo they’ve been exporting the videos, making memes of customers and then posting them on chat rooms. https://www.reuters.com/technology/tesla-workers-shared-sensitive-images-recorded-by-customer-cars-2023-04-06/

Estonians' support to #Ukraine is unwavering – signs of this are everywhere around #Estonia.

Locals in Tõrva set up Freedom Park dedicated to Ukraine with a monumental sand sculpture of president @ZelenskyyUa. They are determined to keep it there until Ukraine has won the war.

Hannah Arendt observed that the Nazis didn't lie because they believed it, or even because they expected YOU to believe it. They lied to say what would have to be true to justify what they intended to do.
