Exxon has a new plan to sell more fossil fuels: stick carbon capture on massive gas-fired power plants for AI and brand them as climate friendly.

Critics say that's a dangerous fiction.

Thrilled to have @emorwee.bsky.social as my editor on this one!

Exxon’s new greenwashing ploy
The oil giant claims it can eliminate more than 90 percent of emissions from gas-powered AI facilities. Critics say that’s nonsense.

As I suspected!! Grok specifically tailors its fabrications / output to the profiles of users. I reckon this is a big part of why so many progressives / leftists not just still use X but increasingly seem to use Grok: they 'think' it's providing accurate responses

Meanwhile in Russia: inspired by the Trump administration’s anti-European stance, state TV host Vladimir Solovyov predicted that Russian and American combat troops will jointly storm European cities.

De snavel van een dode ooievaar steekt uit een vuilniszak langs de Manzanares-rivier. Zo’n vierhonderd dode ooievaars werden de afgelopen dagen in de regio Madrid gevonden, wat zorgen oproept over een mogelijk zeer besmettelijke variant van hoog-pathogene vogelgriep. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

Great news for everyone who likes more expensive, dirtier energy:

1,891 projects with a combined 266 GW of generation capacity have been cancelled in 2025—equivalent to roughly 1/4 of America’s entire current electricity generation capacity. Clean energy accounts for 93% of project cancellations.

Wat is er gebeurd @robjetten.bsky.social ? 🤔
Nederlanders snakken naar samenwerking en stabiliteit. Maar Yesilgöz levert opnieuw verdeeldheid en onbestuurbaarheid.

De VVD laat zich onder haar leiding steeds verder meeslepen richting de extremen. Dan kies je bewust voor polarisatie in plaats van vooruitgang.

🧵 I was asked about the National Security Strategy by a European journalist. Here is my reply:

You should not treat this like a traditional National Security Strategy. It’s a fascist tirade, parts of which might as well have been generated by prompting chatgpt.

Does it “mean” anything?

Holy shit.

Wisten jullie dit? Als je je WhatsApp account verwijdert, krijgen mensen die jou appen als reactie dat je een nieuw account hebt. Op dat zgn. nieuwe account krijgen ze natuurlijk nooit antwoord.
WhatsApp zou gewoon moeten zeggen dat account niet meer bestaat! Ik ben verbaasd dat dit is toegestaan.
Dochter heeft mij net een WhatsApp gestuurd. Dan krijgt ze een melding dat telefoonnummer is gekoppeld aan nieuw account. Als ze dan drukt op groene tekst, kan ze een bericht sturen.

Maar dat wordt vervolgens nooit geopend. De verzender ziet niet dat account is opgeheven.
