Engineer. Building & reparing things. Co-founder @Smart_Symbols, @showpad, @itpocket . Uncontrollable urge to question the status quo. Possibly annoying others with it.
De meerwaardebelasting, Peppol, de nieuwe minimumdoelen… ik heb ook liefst dat de dingen vooruitgaan, maar wat een zootje.

I've always found Thiel & the likes rather creepy, but when seeing all state and techbro dots connected by @francescabria.bsky.social, it starts to look quite disconcerting.
State capturing isn't new, but the scale and facilitating tech is.

SHOCKING: Over 60,000 African penguins have STARVED to death because of disappearing sardines.

How much longer will destructive fishing be allowed to empty our seas of fish that ENTIRE ecosystems depend on?

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four.

I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation.

Western societies moved from zero-sum to positive-sum economy thanks to tech advances. Comparing timelines, "tech advances" appears to be mostly a euphemism for fossil fuel upscaling. So yes, economical positive-sum, but by basically selling earth's energy balance.

Many people think about cold in Northern Europe if the Atlantic Ocean current system #AMOC fails. But that wouldn’t be the only problem for Europe by far.
This new study shows that severe drought is another one. 🌊
📢 New paper on the impacts of AMOC collapse on European hydroclimate. 🌊

We find an AMOC collapse would exacerbate drought conditions across Europe, linked to reduced precipitation. In combination with climate change droughts are expected to become more frequent and severe.

In summary, the outlook is grim. It is highly likely that Thwaites Glacier will eventually be lost, which will destabilise adjoining parts of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, increasing the committed long-term rise in global mean sea level by more than 3 m.

1. It's fascinating to see, as you can from the responses to the post below, how many daft things people believe, to justify their continued meat eating. So let's examine a few of the common myths in the following thread. 🧵
For years, there's been a massive over-emphasis on food miles, and a massive under-emphasis on food type.
By far and away the best dietary decision you can make, for environmental, humanitarian and public health purposes, is to cut out animal products.
Remember this, whenever someone says "alternative proteins - yuck!"
