@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyElon Musk's $1 trillion Tesla pay plan wins shareholder approval -
That's paying Musk 9 times the total turnover of Tesla in 2024 (which was 1% higher than that in 2023). Sounds a bit over the top. It's also more than $100 for every person on earth. The combined result of the greediness of Musk and the craziness of Tesla's shareholders.
@cdarwin@c.imLast season’s updated vaccine provides significant protection against covid-19,
particularly against severe illness and death.
The results reaffirm the benefit of staying current with covid vaccination.
Researchers analyzed data from approximately 1.8 million Americans between August 2024 and April 2025,
of whom only about 13 percent received the 2024–2025 coronavirus shot.
They evaluated three clinical outcomes related to the disease: infections, emergency departm…

@carl@heath.socialI september går Sverige till val. Musk intervenerar redan i val över hela Europa; Tyskland, Storbritannien, Italien, Frankrike. Nu Sverige: "Sweden is dying." Jag samlar mina tankar om X, algoritmer och demokrati i en längre text.

@hanno@mastodon.socialIs Enerkem's Waste Gasification technology a Failure or a promising Climate Solution?🗑️💨♨️🏭
Gasification of waste and biomass🪵 could be an enormously helpful tool to make valuable circular or renewable chemicals. Yet, the list of failed gasification projects is long.
Enerkem looked like it had finally unlocked successful waste gasification, with the world's only waste-to-Methanol/Ethanol plant operating in Edmonton, Canada🇨🇦, since 2014. But in early 2024, it was shut down.…

@samvarma@fosstodon.org @Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyConfirmed: Another big jump in atmospheric CO2, (still) measured at Mauna Loa: the November average was ~426.5 ppm, that's 2.6 ppm higher than last year!
@cdarwin@c.imI really hate to play the “age card,” folks, but back in my day (2023 and 2024), I distinctly recall that a president with apparent mental infirmities was nigh unto scandalous.
For a press so dedicated to sanewashing the Trump administration’s open sewer of corruption, the kid gloves treatment still seems the order of the day.
This week, The Atlantic’s Jonathan Lemire published a lengthy exegesis of the “President Trump is increasingly isolated” variety, titled “The Bubble-Wrapp…

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot"An SNP victory in May’s Holyrood contest would hardly be an earthquake, after 18 continuous years of nationalist government. It would, though, signal a remarkable comeback from a period of eclipse, and from an often dismal record on public services. For Labour, which did so well in Scotland in the 2024 general election, it would signal a crisis moment, imperilling Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership"
