Punjab farmers are shifting from burning stubble to recycling it into biogas, fertiliser, and cardboard. The change is early but promising, and it could transform North India’s winter pollution cycle. #Pollution #Punjab #Sustainability

OMG, I just saw a commercial for Skechers for Kids that had a secret compartment that contained a tracking device so you can "always know where your kid's favorite shoes are."
WTF.
They all are: TT, FB, Twitter, LinkedIn,...
Elecom Huge Plus trackball mouse supports USB, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless connections
The Elecom Huge Trackball Mouse is a computer peripheral with a name that pretty much tells you what it is: a trackball with a really big ball. With a diameter of 52 millimeters, it’s the largest trackball Elecom sells (although it’s not the largest from any company – Kensington’s Expert Mouse TrackBall has a diameter of 55mm).
Elecom has been selling the Huge trackball since 2017, and now […]

Good eve fediverse denizens! I'm Kit, a queer disabled history student with a love for old books, antiques and open-source knowledge!
I am rapidly approaching my 40th year on this planet and am going through the slow process of getting my undergrad (mid 3rd year right now) while juggling my disability.
I am currently calling Scotland my home and speak both English and French, so tend to share knowledge in either of these languages.
My area of interest are vast and having to find a 'speciality' is the bane of my existence. I tend to prefer anything pre-1900s but post-BC. Japan is a particular country of interest but I don't let that stop me. I love domestic, queer, and disabled history, to name but a few.
Looking forward to meeting fellow historians, history lovers, open knowledge sharers.
"Asking for a sliver of disproportional power is too polite a request. I don't want to be included. Instead, I want to question who created the standard in the first place. After a lifetime of embodying difference, I have no desire to be equal. I want to deconstruct the structural power of a system that marked me out as different. I don't wish to be assimilated into the status quo. I want to be liberated from all negative assumptions that my characteristics bring. The onus is not on me to change. Instead, it's the world around me."

What an inspiring few days in #Pisa for part of our team.
After the intense and enriching @graspos Final Conference, on Friday our director @essepuntato also took part in the @CoARAssessment Italian National Chapter Final Event.

Fossil fuel phase-out road map
Possibly.
"Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva last week called for world leaders to prepare a road map to “overcome dependence on fossil fuels.”
Spearheaded by Brazil’s Environment Minister Marina Silva, countries including the UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Colombia and Kenya signaled their support to try to agree on the outlines of a path away from fossil fuels."
There's a fascinating analysis of the actual effects of very high marginal tax rates in Thomas Piketty's 'Brief History of Equality': it's 'predistribution'. Companies simply stop paying out very high salaries, dividends etc, and instead reinvest profits - and this was in fact one of the reasons we had both higher growth and higher marginal tax rates together in the post-war period, and why when Reagan and Thatcher came in and started to lower tax, it gradually strangled growth.
Team, I just discovered that the Heeler house hold are yeast extract-based savoury spread traitors.
There's fucking Marmite in their fridge.
MARMITE.
What the fuck? What the fucking fuck?
Industriestrompreis, aber keine Entlastung für private Haushalte.
Billiger Fliegen und Verbrenner forever.
Lieferkettengesetz mit Faschos zerbröseln.
Zeit sich zu fokussieren.
Zum Beispiel darauf, dass Pkw-Verkehr Kommunen das Dreifache des ÖPNV kostet.
@Remittancegirl I try to find "real" artists now, turns out that's really difficult.
Here i am😔
Guess which animal is my favorite.

@catsalad a platypus, easy
@martin_ueding @kinghaunst @tagesschau Nein, der Markt kann das nicht. Da muss unbedingt regulierend eingegriffen werden! Total wichtig. Sonst geht eine Schlüsselindustrie in D kaputt. Schließlich sind wir nicht umsonst der weltgrößte Flugzeugbauer...
Öh.....
@stbc @kinghaunst @tagesschau
Und wenn wir aus ideologischen Gründen nur noch auf gendergerechte linksgrüne vegane E-Flugzeuge setzen, dann bauen die Verbrenner halt jemand anders, aber wir verlieren hier Arbeitsplätze. 🙃
Im Ernst, ich finde es angesichts des Zustandes der Bahn schon erstaunlich, dass man Fliegen günstiger und Bahnfahren teurer machen muss, um mehr Flüge zu erzeugen.
In de eerste paar minuten van #BetrouwbareBronnen, heeft men het over Wouter Koolmees, Hans Weijers, Buma, "de heren Jetten en Bontenbal", Gom van Strien,
...en "Annemarie en Kajsa".
Zoek de verschillen.

How did I spend my first vacation day? I finally set up self-hosted SurfSense.
Two birds with one stone, you know.
Now I can move away from NotebookLM, and this was also an opportunity to rest my mind by doing something fun that’s not related to my daily work. https://github.com/MODSetter/SurfSense
Well, that's horrifying.
