Solar and wind now almost meeting global electricity demand growth, even in a high-growth year. They're close to forcing down fossil fuel use for electricity on their own, and perhaps already there with the help of some additional hydro and nuclear.

Good summary of the background:
"But a number of cultural and geopolitical factors – an openly rightward turn among the tech elite; the growing perception of a Chinese threat to US global hegemony; Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, along with Trump’s withdrawal from established defence arrangements, putting the fear of God into EU leaders – have made it clear that there is money, fast and deep money, to be made in defence tech."

Thinking real hard these days about the person I followed back on Twitter who wrote "in summary, ICE must be destroyed" at the end of every message, no matter the subject. This was in maybe 2016 or 2018 or so?
Dunno if they're around somewhere here on the fediverse, but damn if they weren't extremely correct.
When I asked them why they did that, their response was something like "well it's true and important, so..."
#ICE
I'm all for electrification of energy demand, e.g. for cars, home heating, and industrial processes.
But we shouldn't be betting the climate on it alone. The share of electricity in global final energy consumption reached 20% in 2023, up from 18% in 2015 (IEA, 2024):

And for meetings, 90% will be normal business as usual.
The important part is that 10%. Guess what the summary de-emphasizes.

”Apple has effectively infinite resources and operates on their own timeline, but everyone else does not have this kind of luxury. Springing big changes like this all at once forces so many independent developers, entire companies, and the industry as a whole to freeze their own development schedules to accommodate Apple’s design system.
It’s asking a lot. For almost nothing in return.”

This is such a good summary of "the problem with 'data science'", as it tries to replace any domain expertise with the misguided notion that some form of statistics.
And so you end up with (maybe even well-meaning) researchers that are so far in over their head that they don't even know what they don't know.
Case in point: the authors of the preprint come from mathematics, computer science, physics, and 'future studies' (lol)…

Great summary I agree with!
How I found out that Discourse now offers "AI" summaries of threads: in the 400 post long thread on iNaturalist about the use of LLMs on iNaturalist, one participant clicked the "AI summary" button of Discourse and then cited from it.
Unsurprisingly, that summary was wrong, completely misrepresenting a person's stated opinion by 180⁰, kinda proving a point there! 🤣
I would definitely advise anyone working to resolve our current predicament not do or say anything which might be viewed as criminal, unless you actually intend to play an active role in a war.
ICE and CBP agents as well as any military or local law enforcers are operating under the color of law based in part on a declaration of emergency by POTUS asserting that we are in a de facto war. They are choosing involvement in a war. Legitimate military targets.

AOC wrote on BlueSky, a good summary of the Trump budget bill adopted in Congress.
"I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing."
