WOW, these baskets are about 9,500 years old! 🤯 Look like they were made yesterday rather than by hunter-gatherers during the Mesolithic! Made of esparto grass, they were found inside the Cueva de Los Murciélagos (Cave of bats), Spain. Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid 📷 by me #Archaeology

Taking stock here: 1. To re-share wildly this study and its conclusions 2. To name and shame the PR agency Red Flag as well as the Animal Agriculture Alliance for organised harassment 3. And to reduce meat consumption drastically of course

On an unrelated topic, I recently got into Lemmy - the federated answer to Reddit - and it is very good indeed. If you are into #Solarpunk there is a great community on slrpnk.net - lots to learn and to discuss with people who are actually educated on the topic! Felt like I found a digital home

The country poured billions into AI infrastructure, but the data center gold rush is unraveling as speculative investments collide with weak demand and DeepSeek shifts AI trends www.technologyreview.com/2025/03/26/1...

This segment from @maryannefranks.bsky.social is an incredibly tight argument that captures the breadth of the Trump assault on free speech perfectly and in less than a minute. Spread it far and wide.

After finishing reading Mindf*ck by Christopher Wylie yesterday, I think that ban should in fact be immediately extended to the whole of the UK (and the EU) for security reasons.

Next time Starmer and Reeves say there's too much regulation, remember this. This is what a deregulated economy looks like, and we all pay for it, with our health, our ecosystems and, eventually - when the massive clean-up / land abandonment bill can no longer be avoided - our wallets.

This is a must read in the current context - while we are leaving in the consequences of social manipulation at the population scale due to leaving full control over recommendation algorithms to the platforms we use.

Currently reading this - was on my pile for a while - it is timely. A lot of the content resonates strongly with the current US mess. That is a 2019 book, don’t say we did not see it coming… It’s about Steve Bannon and Cambridge Analytica if you are wondering. Mindf*ck - Christopher Wylie

“In the end, more than half the jurors selected to hear the case had ties to the fossil fuel industry, and most had negative views of anti-pipeline protests or groups that oppose the use of fossil fuels.” Classic SLAPP. It’s time to give to @greenpeaceusa.bsky.social
