What do we think the problem is here? Do we think the problem is that politicians and policy wonks *do not* understand that carbon capture doesn’t work.

As ever, the relevant description here is “creating a permission structure”.

I dug into Anthropic's 240,000-word prospectus so you don't have to. The AI giant said data centers are likely to increase gas prices, it's not interested in nuclear or renewables, and it's looking to expand abroad in part due to U.S. data center backlash. subscriber.politicopro.com/newsletter/2...

Great video from @stephenrobles.com generously recommending @shareshot.app for our iPhone Duo support. I have some minor improvements coming soon too. If you watch this video and like some of the indie apps in there remember to rate and review them for their efforts!

I'm sure followers of Reform UK sites would love to know ... "Muslim community members in Bradford, England, helped save the city’s historic Reform Synagogue from possible closure by raising funds for essential repairs and supporting efforts to secure additional financial assistance" via Humanistan

Poland’s Foreign Ministry Sikorski not only reminds Elon Musk that the USA haven’t been paying a cent to Ukraine in almost two years and in fact even benefited from the arms sales, but also schooled him that he is only damaging his brands when meddling in foreign countries.

We are in a climate emergency & yet the government just approved Jackdaw. As Green MPs, we've tabled an Early Day Motion calling on the Government to keep fossil fuels in the ground (including Rosebank) and to focus on things that would actually lower bills & create secure jobs.

The govt itself has admitted Jackdaw won't bring down energy bills or create many jobs. So I asked the PM: does Labour disagree with the overwhelming scientific consensus that fossil fuels must stay in the ground? Or was lobbying from the oil and gas lobby simply too difficult to ignore?

Pretty sure everyone who approves new gas & oil fields defends them. Goes with the territory. How about writing "Burnham has no acceptable justification for accelerating climate breakdown"?

OMG this looks gorgeous - stick around for the later parts of the video. Person who kade the lapping waves on the sand deserves an award. Hoping for an iOS version 🤞

NGL so glad the crush for Duo release is over. For Shareshot that means I can jump back onto finishing the truly new feature stuff. But I also have to remember to do marketing, which is a struggle. There's no point building all this cool stuff if nobody finds the app. The perennial struggle.

Why the hell is my Apple Watch S12 saying "I can't set timers on this device" when I say "Set a timer for 5 minutes"?! The ONE thing I use Siri for on Apple Watch.

Shareshot 2.0.4 is in the App Store now, optimised for iPhone Duo. Here’s how our process of adopting iPhone Duo went. Spare a thought for indie devs who have had no access to the new hardware!

App Store Review has taken 24 hours so far for @shareshot.app 2.0.4 with Duo support. Jealous of others seeing very fast turnarounds.

Individuals and corporations are already outspending the unions in funding Labour as it is. novaramedia.com/2026/02/20/l...

The upcoming budget must put ordinary people’s interests before those of fossil fuel shareholders. Make polluters pay.

🇦🇱 Violent anti-government protests continued in Albania’s capital, Tirana, for a fifth consecutive day, with demonstrators demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama’s resignation over corruption allegations. Hundreds have been arrested or investigated, and dozens injured.

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

UK ‘an outlier in Europe’ for letting Farage and other politicians present TV shows. GB News, owned by hedge fund manager, is the propaganda arm of Reform/Farage. Politicians must be scrutinized, and not allowed to present news or current affairs programmes.

@mark-carney.bsky.social

Do you see this? This is lots of people who saw clearly that The Day Of Reckoning was coming, and wanted to do something to prevent it. And the world’s most poisonous, ugliest, most horrifying media class told the public it was a “carnival of hate”, and similar things www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-poli...

I used to think "everyone will have to change behaviour and mitigate climate change very quickly because the insurers will raise prices and stop insuring and the economy breaks." Of course the reality is probably that the insurers are collectively weak, lowball their prices and then go bust.

"Candidates and political action groups, mostly tied to Republicans, have rushed to adopt the technology, spending more than $137 million to promote such ads this year, the researchers found."

CoreWeave is a time bomb and a bad omen for generative AI. It's burdened by ruinous debt, does not have the money or the ability to raise debt to expand to service their revenue, and is dependent on an unproven and questionable buildout partner. www.wheresyoured.at/core-incompe...

Woke up to me daughter showing me that her phone is saying her iCloud account is locked and she has to request access to it. She was doing nothing with it, she has 2FA enabled… why does this happen? Why does she now have to wait up to a day without access to email and worry about it Apple?

"It turns out the 2020 crypto boom did fundamentally change the way money worked on the internet, just not in the way its biggest evangelists had hoped. Instead of convincing the general population to embrace Bitcoin and blockchains, it created a new form of grifter capitalism."

Feels like NHS is on its knees. I've a hopefully minor ear issue requiring consultant. GP referred 8 wks ago. No response in 4 weeks so rang clinic as instructed by NHS app. Say I've been added, will contact me. Today: letter w/ 5 clinics I can book. All avg. 24wk wait. All have no appointments 🤯

The Media and all the other Parties are so terrified of an Anti-Israel Party in the UK because they know how popular it will be. That is why they have screamed about it for the last week.

Wut

If the @greenparty.org.uk can run Labour this close, under their new and currently popular Prime Minister, enjoying his temporary 'bounce', what will they be able to do once the novelty wears off? 👍

Elon Musk told us to mark this. But he accidentally deleted it. So just for him I have recovered it and posted it.

Holy hell. "The count is stark: the US military controls 17 facilities on the mainland and has access to 75 more Australian-run installations. American defence corporations reach a further 18." Australian sovereignty is DEAD. asenseofplacemagazine.substack.com/p/australia-...

This would sink a presidency in any other era. I would bet most Americans will never hear it even happened.

My point remains that if we're going to pretend Apple is just as bad as these other companies bowing down to the Trump regime (They're not), we should cover it as such. But conveniently leaving them out of the conversation when blatant corruption is on display only serves to further the narrative.

In Spain they are still protesting for affordable housing. Notice the lack of thug police inciting violence, and therefore the complete lack of violence. In sharp contrast with Macron's Police Thug State.

Chocolate lovers, brace yourselves. Erratic weather is crushing cocoa yields and forcing manufacturers to swap premium ingredients for cheaper alternatives. What else will be harder to find? Sophie Perry and Leila Fathi offer some informed thoughts.

We've been pushing hard to get @shareshot.app 2.1 and its big features ready for Duo launch but there's too much to do. So parking that while we finish just the Duo compatibility for a 2.0.4. There's just not enough hours in the day before Duo-day.

Shout out to all the devs out there with actual "document" style editor apps on iPad that use sidebar and inspector. Making that stuff work on iPhone Duo which _looks_ like an iPad but isn't big enough to support both of those at the same time while viewing content is hard.

According to sources familiar with the matter, someone made up the numbers entirely, and uhhh,,,,,,,,
