China is currently building 8 times as much solar and wind capacity as the US, and 34 times as much as the UK.

Even if you combine all of the rest of the world, China builds twice as much solar and wind capacity as everyone else combined.

What the H*** is going on! This has happened in midst of nationwide protest in the #KolkataDoctorCase

[Shrayansh Singh @_shrayanshsingh]

Dear @IndiGo6E ,

1. What is this 'Cute Fee'? Do you charge users for being cute? Or do you charge because you believe that your aeroplanes are cute?

2. What is this 'User Development Fee'? How do you develop me when I travel in your aeroplane?

3. What is this 'Aviation Security Fee'? Am I not paying taxes to the Government for ensuring my safety when I travel? Or has @MoCA_GoI outsourced aviation security to businesses?

Kindly respond, because ye tum logo ka zyada ho raha hai ab.

The face of evil. The man accused of the Kolkata rape & murder of a young doctor

[The Dalit Voice @ambedkariteIND]

Two painful incidents happened in the country, one happened in Bengal and the other happened in Bihar. The Bengal incident is in the mainstream media and the whole caste hindu is in panic.

But on the other hand, everyone is silent on the Bihar incident. The reason is clear. The victim girl from Bihar is from the Dalit community. Even after 70 years of independence, justice is given on the basis of caste.

[UN Women @UN_Women]

The status of women’s rights in #Afghanistan has deteriorated drastically.

At least 70 Taliban decrees, directives, and practices target women and girls.

And, if you can’t condemn the communal killings of Bangladeshi Hindus because of your “compulsions” have the decency to stop peddling propaganda of communal amity & “democratic expression” We see you. I will condemn Hindu murders in Bangladesh because I condemn Muslims being targeted in India

[Swati Chaturvedi @bainjal]

In light of her conflict of interest with Adani as exposed by @HindenburgRes SEBI should now launch an investigation against Ms Buch while sacking her immediately. The ED should file PMLA cases & the CBI should investigate this.

Who is regulating AI?

Our paper (w/@ChrisTMarsden) on AI co-regulation has just been published: https://t.co/Pb9hrIjDgK

We explore the role of standards in the AI Act, democratic legitimacy, and the need for inclusive approaches to AI regulation

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

Our kids will experience a hell they likely won’t survive.

A hell the fossil fuel industry has known about for over half a century.

A hell our governments subsidised with $7 TRILLION last year.

A hell every corporate owned politician & journalist is happy to let happen.
