The right's hero-worship of Penny is a complete moral failure and a glimpse into the mindset of a bunch of people who really just want the ability to murder anyone making them uncomfortable in public. Fleming's column is somehow even worse than the headline makes it out to be. Disgusting people.

"The new analysis for Carbon Brief shows that China’s emissions were down 1.6% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2025 and by 1% in the latest 12 months.
Electricity supply from new wind, solar and nuclear capacity was enough to cut coal-power output even as demand surged, whereas previous falls were due to weak growth."

Next up: Andres Freund speaks about the difficulties of changing Postgres' IO model to use asynchronous IO
The image shows a presentation taking place in a conference room. A person is standing to the right, holding a microphone, and appears to be presenting. The background features a large projection screen displaying a slide titled "Project Level Issues." The slide lists four bullet points:
- "AIO interacts with some of the least tested areas of postgres."
- "Lots of basic assumptions need to be changed."
- "Hard to get architectural review / hard to understand architectural issues without working on AIO."
- "Postgres not a project doing a lot of in-core iteration."
The Microsoft logo is visible in the bottom right corner of the slide. The room has gray curtains and a podium with a laptop on it. The presenter is wearing a blue shirt and khaki pants. The audience is partially visible, with the back of a person's head in the foreground.

有機認証の相互承認、ＥＵでも | OANDA FX/CFD Lab-education（オアンダ ラボ）
農林水産省は１５日、国内で有機認証を取得した酒類と畜産物について、欧州連合（ＥＵ）加盟国に輸出した場合に有機食品として表示できる制度を１８日から導入すると発表した。ＥＵでの認証取得にかかる手間や手数料を省くことができ、海外で人気が高まる日本酒などの輸出に追い風になりそうだ。 欧州では、有機認証の表示がある食品が消費者に選ばれやすい。これまでは、日本農林規格（ＪＡＳ）の有機認証を取得した食品であっても、輸出先の認証を受けなければ「オーガニック」などの表示ができなかった。 有機認証の相互承認は、酒…WALKNEWS (WALK NEWS)
#Meta is making users who opted out of #AI #training opt out again, #watchdog says
According to Noyb, Meta is also requiring users who already opted out of #AItraining in 2024 to opt out again or forever lose their opportunity to keep their data out of Meta's models, as training data likely cannot be easily deleted. That's a seeming violation of the General Data Protection Regulation ( #GDPR ), Noyb alleged.

In the US, speaking up for Palestine can cost a person their job, visa and even freedom.
A coalition of Jewish groups warns that the Trump administration is making Jews less safe by targeting international students who protested Israel's war in Gaza and the universities where they study.
Is free speech really “free” for everyone, or is the Palestine issue an exception?

Crypto has become the ultimate swamp asset
An industry that dreamed of being above politics has become synonymous with self-dealingThe Economist
Academics like to say “It is possible to design AI in a way that would benefit humanity”.
YES, WE KNOW THAT! I would love for it to be implemented with care, too.
But we all know very well that the way it’s being designed right now is increasingly malign & anti-human.
So stop saing that, and choose the topics you engage with based on where the current direction is leading us toward, please.
Good conversation, nevertheless. Worth your time.

America’s immigration system was a landmine, and Trump set it off

For the European Democracy Shield to do what it says, it must encompass the full spectrum of hybrid threats, not only foreign disinformation. It also must be part of the European Preparedness Union Strategy.admin (Defend Democracy)
