From David Suzuki
It’s hard not to conclude that much of the world has been taken over by idiots. Sure, there have always been uninformed politicians & those who let their ideology stumble ahead of their wits. & some who seem more sociopathic than stupid, waging brutal wars & massacres with no regard for the lives, families and communities they destroy under whatever nationalistic banner they concoct to justify their actions.
Lately things seem extraordinarily stupid.…

Well, this seems stupid - New Jersey is forcing the removal of many working NACS charging centers and replacing them with CCS charging.
That's already stupid. But it moves from stupid to destructive in that it NJ wants to expand the moribund CCS charge system while automobile makers are shifting away from CCS to NACS.

Discharge dynamics in a cylindrical SDBD prototype reactor under ns-pulsed and sinusoidal AC operation
We developed a prototype reactor generating surface dielectric barrier discharges (SDBDs) in ambient air, designed for consistent operation while preventing constructive material degradation. It features detachable stainless steel electrodes and quartz dielectric to ensure precise fabrication. The grounded electrode is fully immersed into transformer oil drastically suppressing undesired parasitic discharges. The device efficiently sustains ns-pulsed and AC discharges at 10 kHz, enabling fundam…

BBB-senator Croll stapt over naar D66, onder meer om Gaza-standpunt
Er vertrekt weer een senator bij de BBB-fractie in de Eerste Kamer. Senator Robert Croll stapt over naar D66. Dat zeggen goed ingevoerde bronnen tegen de politieke redactie van RTL Nieuws. Oud-rechter Croll is het niet eens met het Gaza-standpunt van het kabinet.

„Der bisher gültige Grundsatz, dass Datensparsamkeit das Übermaß der Dinge ist, der hat sich überholt, der muss weg. Datenreichtum muss der Maßstab sein, nach dem wir unsere Politik ausrichten.“

Meta Tries to Bury a Tell-All Book
Mark Zuckerberg might be in his post-fact-checking-era. But that hasn’t stopped Meta from going after the author of Careless People.

I think it's noticeable that this stupid thing has been at least relevant enough in popular online culture to merit a Wikipedia entry.
(I think it is rightly nominated for deletion though.)
