Beyond weaponry, algorithmic systems reify and exacerbate the dehumanization of Palestinians.

And years ago, a Palestinian man was arrested at a border checkpoint when Facebook translated his profile message of “Good morning” to “Attack them.”"

"[The Israeli army] use of a system called "Habsora" ("The Gospel"), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can "generate" targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible.

"Facial recognition technology restricts freedom of movement across checkpoints, and tools like *Smart Shooter* automate killing by adding AI to automatic weapons at those checkpoints.

*It's worth remembering that GDP growth was meant to be only a war-time measure. It was to account for resources needed for WWII.

It's no surprise it's such an exhausting system and way of life for us all. We're kept in a state of war-like frantic production.

Etymologically, the term "radical" refers to Latin radix (root): To be radical is to take the problem to the root.

Degrowth*, in this sense, is quite radical, because it not only heals the violence of capitalism, but also identifies the mechanisms that generate it.

Degrowth is an ecological necessity, but it is also a social and existential opportunity.

Slowing down in order to survive, yes, but above all slowing down in order to live well, to really exist.

I found out that a group of nurseries bought a bunch of copies of our wild children's book on the Sustainable Development Goals 🎉

And it's Christmas soon, right? So... you know... cool gift? 😛 #SDGs

Sure, it'll go back down... for now. But we were supposed to stay below the safe-ish zone of 1.5°C.

This should be a wake-up call for all of us.

This is a warning that we're not doing enough, and a reminder that we can still change course.

Last Sunday, I am in my bed, the time reads 3:15am and I just can't sleep after seeing the news.

On Saturday (Nov. 18), global temperature broke a new record and was more than 2°C above 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial) levels, at 2.06°C 🚨

The benefits?

Not only will unveiling the river help to cool down the city's concrete jungle, but it will also serve as a powerful weapon against floods.

Paris buried a river 100 years ago.

Now the city is going to resurface it to combat climate change.

In 1899, the Bièvre river in Paris was nothing short of a nightmare - oily and black, streaked with acids, dotted with soapy and putrid pustules.

[Restless Stories @RestlessStories]

Despite being sealed up in 1912 due to rampant industrial pollution, the Bièvre river is now set to make a triumphant comeback, thanks to a movement to daylight it and restore its former glory.

The EU Cracks Down on Greenwashing! 🚫🌱

It has unveiled recently a major step in its commitment to the environment and consumer empowerment.

In a landmark move, they've provisionally agreed on a new directive to "empower consumers for the green transition."

What's in store?

[Restless Stories @RestlessStories]

This initiative is part of a broader EU strategy including Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, Green Claims Directive, and Right to Repair Directive.

It's a big win for consumer rights and environmental protection.
