It’s funny how these “patriots” are best buddies with countries like Russia (we are currently at war with essentially), China (generally adversarial superpower) and US (we are currently engaged in trade war with). Surely they can just have the best interests for Germany with such a great portfolio of allies.

Mhm I just contribute to the Wikipedia… that one I feel is super worthwhile - it actually has been under heavy criticism by the US right lately, because they only want their version of “truth” to be the only one represented. Obv inconvenient for the powers that be, if there is freely available information that they can’t control. I’m not contributing on any hot topic though (mainly music/bands) - but I still feel like everything that you can find on Wikipedia strengthens its position as a tool that people go to for info.

A local wiki also sounds cool, but I have no idea what I would contribute there.

It wasn’t “solarpunk” at the time, but I am vegetarian now for 15 years ish (since my early 20s). I do think better would be to go vegan and I have been trying to reduce dairy, but it’s a bit tricky since a) we also have a small daughter and nutrition is such a complex topic for her as well and b) my wife while having gone veggie due to meeting me is not on board with giving up cheese. It is something I want to tackle more in the future though. I’ve been mostly motivated by animal suffering and factory farming initially, but ecologically it just makes so much sense as well for climate impact, space usage, water usage, etc.

A small solarpunk thing that I am doing now is choosing regional insect friendly plants for my garden and also learning more about ecological aspects there.

Also while kinda ineffectual, I started editing Wikipedia. IMO shared knowledge building like that is also very solarpunk. It’s also some “direct action” that is suitable for a lazy couch sitter like me who struggles to do “practice” otherwise.

Also very much just a point of privilege on my side, but we did manage to build a house and I have literal solar panels on my roof. Not very punk, but very solar wow.

This text is just indistinguishable from satire

And of course it is a cost cutting measure. In the UK centuries of academic tradition are sacrificed on the altar of neoliberalism

Doesn’t sound like he will be too sad

Musk, an antagonist to various figures in the worlds of business and politics, has a close relationship with Ellison – who is often described as a mentor to the South Africa-born tech entrepreneur.

Ellison sat on the board of Tesla between 2018 and 2022 and put $1bn into Musk’s purchase of Twitter – since rebranded as X. According to Walter Isaacson’s biography of Musk, when the Tesla CEO asked Ellison to invest in Twitter, Ellison said he would put in a billion dollars or “whatever you recommend”. Musk is a frequent visitor to Ellison’s Hawaiian island, Lanai, according to the book.

I just can’t believe that he still ate her food after previously almost dying from it… must be really tasty I guess?

This will just further the business model of “We offer AI, but actually it’s just Indians” with big tech companies gladly looking past the AI not being really AI

Is this another thing he did to distract from the Epstein files?

Not sure if that thumbnail pic is China or Mirrodin

Selbst die Sklaven sind nicht sicher vo der AI Revolution 😵
