"Where will the von Neumanns, the Einsteins, and the Gödels of our age migrate after the SCOTUS overrules democracy in 2024 and Gödel’s Loophole is proven to exist? At this time, the two major powers of our time, the United States and China seem unlikely locations for brains to settle and grow in the long term."

The Italian tech holding company Bending Spoons, has developed a reputation for buying tech companies past their peak and aggressively cutting costs.
The firm acquired Evernote in 2022, followed by Meetup and WeTransfer in 2024, and AOL and Eventbrite in 2025.
Layoffs followed many of those deals. In September 2024, just months after being acquired by Bending Spoons, WeTransfer laid off 75% of its staff.

the BC Greens have reached a turning point.
When we signed the Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord (CARGA) with the BC NDP in 2024, we did so with a clear goal: to use our leverage in the legislature to force action on some of the issues that matter most to you—housing, healthcare, climate, and the cost-of-living crisis.
Today, I am announcing that the BC Greens will not renew that agreement.

Liniendiagramm mit dem kumulierten Zubau von Balkonsolaranlagen in Deutschland von 2018 bis 03.12.2025. Die gelbe Linie zeigt die Bruttoleistung in Megawatt-Peak (MWp) über die Zeit. Bis 2021 verläuft die Kurve fast waagrecht. Ab 2022 beginnt ein kontinuierlicher Anstieg, der ab 2023 deutlich steiler wird. Ab 2024 ist der Zubau stark beschleunigt. Der Höchststand liegt aktuell bei 1192,31 Megawatt peak. Die Kurve deutet auf einen anhaltenden Boom hin.
