I just spoke to my new nemesis CEO of @Equinor and its majority shareholder, the Norwegian government, at their AGM.

These are the very people who decide whether we avert climate catastrophe or keep throwing fuel on the crisis and let millions of people die. (pt. 2 in thread)

La Pres. @GiorgiaMeloni si definisce "scolara della Storia", eppure dovrebbe ricordarsi che con lo schiavismo e il colonialismo, i "neri" non avevano diritto al "Lei".

Forse all' #underdog viene naturale dare del tu a un under-underdog.

No, Signora Presidente, mi dia del Lei.

Yesterday was my last day of working at Google. Perhaps this comes as surprise to you twitter folks, as I haven't widely announced that I left academia to try something new. Here's what I learned in 9 months as a Data Analyst who (temporarily) left Astronomy for Big Tech. 1/n

Thanks @ProgIntl for addressing the disconnect between Global North, where people are polarized over restrictions and vaccine boosters, and Global South, where many have not received any dose and the virus is much more free to circulate and mutate 👏👏

“Decades later, fossil fuel companies are using it to protect their assets, this time in the face of an oncoming wave of climate legislation.”

[Federico Piovesan @federicopvs]

Facing climate change with both hands tied behind your back 🤦🏽

[Kate Raworth @KateRaworth]

What's stopping faster government action on climate? In part, the fear of being sued by fossil companies over 'lost profits' if they are no longer permitted to drill, mine & destroy. The ISDS rules literally privilege corporate power over life on earth. https://t.co/a5SaAbuSiC

“Devised in the 1950s by a banker and the chief counsel for oil company Royal Dutch Shell, ISDS was designed to protect companies’ investments in newly independent countries, where it was feared that governments might try to wrest back control of their natural resources.“

Se acabó. Medialab Prado cerró por última vez sus puertas. Atrás quedan los esfuerzos por hacer d este espacio un lugar acogedor y lleno de vida y un montón de proyectos maravillosos e increíbles para la ciudad propuestos por sus habitantes. Queda un espacio vacío y sin proyecto.

@balajis 💛 and so to decentralize you need 1) to disseminate leadership skills and 2) onboarding of current leaders and/or a new system that is independent of them

[Balaji @balajis]

Decentralization doesn't mean an absence of leaders, but an abundance of them.

A reminder that Elsevier made
$6 BILLION selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and made more profit than Amazon, Google and Apple every year for YEARS...

And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

The covid catastrophe that's engulfing India and other global South countries could have been significantly mitigated had the US, UK and Europe not repeatedly refused to suspend vaccine-related patents. People are being sacrificed on the altar of "intellectual property".

The Biden administration is proposing a new model for taxing the world’s biggest multinational corporations, based on their sales in each country as part of a deal on a global minimum tax. Game changer👇 https://t.co/eBVRMWykMn

11 years ago today, Wikileaks released the Collateral Murder video, exposing US forces in Iraq shooting unarmed civilians, including journalists.

To this day, the killers still have not been held accountable.

But Assange, who revealed their crimes to the world, sits behind bars
