The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

This pain is impossible to put into words. 💔

Danylo Voronov stands on the ruins of his home, mourning the family Russia took from him - his parents, his brothers, his sisters, and his 1.5-year-old son Artem.

An entire life destroyed in one Russian strike.

How much grief can our people be forced to carry?😭

@PekkaPlaid @elonmusk Luuleeko joku, että ketään motivoi raha enää siinä kohtaa, kun omaisuus lasketaan miljardeissa?

The EU's just announced Electrification Action Plan will up its electrification from 23% to 46% by 2040. That's cutting the EU’s fossil fuel import bill by €260 billion/year by 2040, eliminating demand for 2.7 billion barrels of oil/ year

@AuteroMiia @hakusanarakkaus Joo, onneksi Kiinassa valtio ei puutu mihinkään ja ihmisillä on täysi vapaus ilmaista mielipiteitään. Meillä on ihan oikeitakin ongelmia ja amppari ei ole yksi niistä. Sama kuin muovikorkit. Aikuiset ihmiset ylpeänä esittävät, että eivät osaa juoda pullosta, jossa korkki kiinni.

@RpsAgainstTrump @DC_Reporter From Europe it looks it’s exactly what you’re doing.

@PasiHavia @SalkunRakentaja Entäs ne OPEXit? Sähkönkulutus yms. Liikevaihdon pitää kattaa myös muutkin kulut kuin poistot.

@vontuchman @arttu_haimi Täytyy tunnustaa, että en edes oikein katsonut mitä Arttu postasi, joten mun kommentti siltä osin turha. Ihmettelen vain näitä jälkikäteen piirrettyjä käppyröitä, kun mun silmään ihan samanlainen tilanne oli käsillä 24-25 taitteessa, mutta siinä kävikin sitten toisin.

[Juha Saukoniemi @SaukoJu]

@vontuchman @arttu_haimi Eikös se ole ihan sama kuin tuossa sun postaamassa kuvassa? Miksi tuota toista sinistä kuviota ei piirretty 2024-25 taitteen tilanteesta, jossa oli dippi?

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.

No President in History has ended the same war so many times.

Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.

No President has ever done this before.

And he is nowhere near finished ending it.

It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

@tanvi_ratna This is great! Stop the flow of poor quality Temu garbage that nobody actually needs.

@Branflake824 @EvansRyan202 I’m sure there are similar people in every country but even 30% shouldn’t be enough to have the whole country be held hostage by those people. I just hope that this insanity would stop before it’s too late.

[Juha Saukoniemi @SaukoJu]

@EvansRyan202 I fully agree with your point. I just don’t understand why so many Americans hate the nature so much that they elect a government that just doesn’t do anything to prevent global warming but actively makes it worse and is proud about it.

Imagine telling someone in 1999…

The year is 2026.

The President is Donald Trump in his second non consecutive term.

The richest man in the world is PayPal cofounder Elon Musk… but not because of fintech or Paypal. Because of rockets, electric cars, AI, satellites, brain chips and something called “Boring Company”.

Apple is worth trillions but its main business isn’t computers… its selling glass rectangles everyone stares at for 9 hours a day.

People don’t watch TV. They watch teenagers explain geopolitics, finance, and relationship advice in ~60 second videos.

The biggest taxi company owns no taxis.
The biggest hotel company owns no hotels.
The most powerful media companies are social networks where everyone argues with strangers for free.

Kids are making millions filming themselves playing video games.

AI Robots write emails, code, legal memos, songs, essays, and breakup texts.

The internet is mostly bots arguing with humans who are trying to prove they aren’t bots.

You can summon a car, groceries, a doctor, a date, a private jet, or a dog walker from your phone.

People pay real money for invisible currencies, digital monkeys, AI girlfriends and pictures that disappear after 24 hours.

The richest companies in the world don’t sell oil, steel, or cars. They sell attention, compute, data, and addiction.

And somehow, after all of that everyone is still using Excel.

[Emu Brigadier @emubrigadier]

Mates, please.

Just stop with this BS: "175,000 people die from heat in Europe every year, while in the US only 3,000 do."

The comparison is bogus.

If we compare apples to apples, the numbers are much closer, and the US does not necessarily come out looking the best.

Let me explain.

I'm an AC-loving emu, but I'm also a perfectly objective emu, so let's go!

For starters, the 175,000 figure covers the WHO European Region, which includes countries such as Russia and the nations of Central Asia. It's basically a catch-all region with nearly a billion people, and some of those countries are hot, autocratic, and relatively underdeveloped.

But that's not the biggest problem.

The biggest problem is methodological.

The American "small" figure of roughly 3,000 comes from death certificates. Heat must be listed as a cause of death or a contributing factor. I don't know exactly how the coding works, but essentially someone qualified has to look at the deceased and conclude, "Yeah, heat defo played a role."

The European 175,000 figure is based on statistical modelling. Analysts estimate how many deaths are correlated with high temperature and then convert that relationship into an annual number of heat-related deaths.

This methodology does not require a coroner to explicitly identify heat as a contributing factor.

The European method naturally produces higher estimates.

The American method naturally produces lower estimates.

So if we want a genuine apples-to-apples comparison, we need to apply the same methodology to different countries.

And researchers have done exactly that.

A 2015 Lancet study estimated temperature-related mortality across multiple countries. While it included only four European countries: Italy, Spain, Sweden, and the UK, it allows for a more meaningful comparison.

Using a similar methodology and adjusting for population, the United States would come out somewhere in the middle. It would have roughly 10,000 heat-related deaths per year—lower than Italy and Spain, but HIGHER than Sweden and the UK.

So the AC-abundant Yanks seem to be sitting right in the middle of their AC-deprived "Europoor" counterparts.

Kind of an anticlimactic conclusion, but that's usually what happens when you're being perfectly objective.

Stay cool! Or warm, depending on which season your hemisphere is currently enjoying!

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

Greenland is now asking Trump to invade, hoping to secure a deal similar to the one Iran got.
