As if things change because we don't look.
Not having the data is a bad idea.

Trump lässt 900 Tiefseesensoren aus dem Atlantik und Pazifik herausziehen – ein 370-Millionen-Dollar-Netzwerk das seit 2016 läuft.
Es sollte 30 Jahre laufen. Es wird nach 10 Jahren gestoppt. Was diese Sensoren messen: Meerestemperaturen. Strömungen. Salzgehalt. CO₂-Aufnahme. El-Niño-Früherkennung. AMOC – den Atlantischen Umwälzstrom der Europas Wetter reguliert. Ozeanograph Ed Dever: „Es ist ein lähmender Informationsverlust."
Project 2025 hatte das Netzwerk explizit als Quelle von „Klimaalarmismus" bezeichnet und seine Abschaltung gefordert.
Der Kongress hatte die Finanzierung zweimal gerettet.
Die NSF zog es trotzdem durch. Die Folgen werden Jahrzehnte dauern. Daten die wir nie mehr bekommen werden. 1/2

The USA ranks 36th, yet the government and many of its citizens have the audacity to lecture those ranked ahead of it on how to achieve prosperity. 🤣

D-Day commemoration, Omaha Beach, June 6 2024
Zelensky arrived, the crowd applauded. And then this happened:
🇺🇸 veteran: You’re a saviour of the people
Zelensky: No, no, you saved Europe
🇺🇸 veteran: My hero
Zelensky: No, you are our hero

Removing functionality from Volkswagen (or any other car manufacturer) accelerates their collapse.

VW Cuts Off Third-Party API Access and Key BEV Features
VW is removing API access for third parties in its BEVs, thereby blocking access to essential charging and other important home functions across all BEVs within the VW Group.
The now-removed API previously enabled automation such as charging the car only when the photovoltaic system was generating surplus power (e.g., at midday). It also allowed for automatic charging when the vehicle's range dropped below a certain level—functionality that is no longer possible.
Until now, certain VW Group BEVs could also be integrated as an energy storage unit that supplied power to the home system at specific times. Automatic pre-conditioning and many other functions were also available.
To achieve this, electric vehicle owners could use a range of open-source tools that all accessed the API containing the vehicle's real-time data. None of this works anymore.
VW presumably wants to force its customers onto its own platform to capture valuable customer data and generate revenue, but we all know that VW regularly fails especially when it comes to software and third-party providers have stepped in to fill a crucial gap. Right now, a VW native system is not available and as a result nothing is working for VW’s BEV customers anymore.
This is yet another example of VW failing to grasp that customer service is key and BEV usability is severely restricted without third-party providers and their integration via API interfaces. drivesomethinggreater.com/ne…

Who sees the alien in this topological phase?
Higher-dimensional topological phases characterized by zero-energy surface crossed flat bands are predicted to emerge in three-dimensional superconducting altermagnets as a generic topological phenomenon protected by intrinsic crystal symmetries go.aps.org/4uhV9LN
ALT The top panel shows the bulk Fermi volume for a d-wave altermagnet (where the cyan and magenta colors indicate up and down spins), and the bottom panel shows the zero-bias conductance as a function of momentum.

The incidents occurred after Paris Saint‑Germain’s victory yesterday in Budapest. Unfortunately, a small group of so-called “fans” caused disturbances, as has happened in previous years around major matches. These events were related to football hooliganism and were not political in nature.

They ask me to save fuel by driving more slowly.
This New Glenn rocket explosion released 20% of the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb and that wasn't even the bad part:
→ The pad: LC-36 is the only pad on Earth that launches New Glenn and now it's gone. Over $1B to build. SpaceX needed 7 months to rebuild after a similar hit.
→ The deadline: Amazon needs 1,618 satellites up by July 30 to keep its FCC license. It has ~300. The rocket that was supposed to help fix that just blew up twice in a row
SpaceX made us believe that landing rockets on barges was a normal expectation. Turns out rocket science is hard after all. Wishing the team a speedy recovery 🚀

To be exact:
Tesla Full Self-Driving (with human supervision) has been approved in the Netherlands, Lithuania, and now Estonia,
all in the past months of 2026.
Most remaining European countries will follow within the next 12-18 month.
Other autonomous driving options, in particular from China, will follow.

BREAKING : Tesla's FSD has been approved in Estonia.
It is the third largest European country after the Netherlands and Lithuania.

Fact:
correlation between
- carbon content in the atmosphere,
- global average temperature
As burning fossil fuels (with steam engines and related developments such as in ICE cars) emits carbon dioxide, you should suspect causation, even without any knnowledge of climate science.
