EU transparency laws are meant to let the public scrutinise how decisions are made.

But new European Commission internal rules risk making secrecy the default for key files, including proceedings involving some of the world’s most powerful tech companies.

Miles Davis was born 100 years ago today. Seems so recent, because to me it felt as if he was from the future... 🎺 #Jazz

It's cool that this exists, but man, that design has to be a form of self-sabotage.

Jetzt aber ein bisschen zackig! 😉

And the greenwashing continues....

'fossil fuel companies’ deployment of renewable energy, biofuels, carbon capture & storage (CCS), green hydrogen & carbon offsetting isn’t designed to oppose decarbonisation, but to manage the conversation around renewables. False solutions signal compliance while helping to mute calls for a systemic transformation'!

I've always thought CCS was a con, but the problem is a lot wider....

Amazing color throughout, and there's a transition between an abstract, colorful space toward a more realistic village in the distance, I thought about when I'm on my own, walking, on my bike, or on transit, I'm spacing out and "not really there", or I'm there, but in a deliberate communion with ultimate reality in meditation practice (usually the former 😁 ), and then I come back to the world of people and the social environment and "knowing what things are and what I'm doing" like buying groceries or meeting someone. Two different types of experience was how I saw this this morning as I come back from a couple days off and go back to work

Good morning, my friends ❤️ Unfortunately, we woke up today with even more worry… We haven't been able to get the necessary medical tests for my sister because we don't have the money 💔 Her condition is still critical, and every passing hour increases our fear for her.

Please don't leave us alone during this difficult time 🙏 Any help, even if it's small, or even just sharing this post and praying, could help save her life 🌷

Der Goldglänzende Rosenkäfer. Beeindruckend groß und pummelig.
