Dathan Duplichen, "Ukraine’s growing tech sector offers hope amid wartime economic pain" https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/ukraines-growing-tech-sector-offers-hope-amid-wartime-economic-pain/
« According to data from the National Bank of Ukraine, IT industry export revenues actually increased by 23% year-on-year during the first six months of 2022 to reach $3.74 billion. This remarkable performance is part of a far longer growth trend stretching back to the turn of the millennium that has seen the Ukrainian tech sector emerge as an engine of the national economy and an increasingly influential factor shaping the broader development of the country. » -

[The "pacifism of surrender" by Rep. Pramila Jayapal , Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Cori Bush, Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Ilhan Omar and others of their Caucus always keeps silent about the bestiality of the Russian army and the regime. It only serves Putin's interests.] -

« COPPER🧵redux. I live near one of the largest copper mines on earth (Kennecott Utah Copper - KUC). I helped manage a smaller copper mine for 8 years. Observation: Wind/Solar/Battery Proponents & ESG bean-counters are completely out of touch with copper mining & production. »
A long thread on the carbon footprint of copper, its importance in #renewables (wind, solar, #batteries), how depletion of mines increases the price of copper, etc. After that I really don't understand why people still ignore that #peakrenewables is around. -

♪ Johannes Brahms, "Symphony No 4 in E minor Op 98" (conductor: Leonard Bernstein) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SV7zQ2w0pPs
So many renditions of this symphony, but to me Leonard Bernstein beats them all: Precise, subtle, emotional without being pompous or over-ornate, powerful and tender, all at the same time. If it wasn't Bernstein I would have guessed it's a Russian conductor.

I love the work of Quentin Smirhes. But this video is even scarier than much of his other pieces. -

♪ Концерт Вана Клиберна. Van Cliburn in Moscow Conservatory (1958) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9aKbfnMSrY
Performed by Van Cliburn (piano, USA) and the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Moscow State Philharmonic under the direction of Kirill Kondrashin. Broadcast recording from the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory.
This concert recording from 1958 covers not only Van Cliburn's legendary rendition of the Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op.23, by Tchaikovsky but also the Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op.30, by Rachmaninov. Brilliant musicians, orchestra, and conductor.

This is indeed a difference of Twitter and the #fediverse: When people decide that a conversation is not worth continuing because of unbridgeable differences, on Twitter it most often turns into acrimony and a shouting match. In the #fediverse it turns into a polite farewell, perhaps spiced with a grain of irony. I like hat. -

There are so many errors and faulty interpretations in your post that I'd need hours to correct them. Please feel free to stay in your bubble and act as Putin propagandist. To me this nonsense of yours is not worth continuing the conversation. -

People with climate despair seem rather unfazed when it comes to the concrete suffering of people in war torn territories. They like it when the pain, the despair is vague, abstract, intangible, impalpable; but when it is the present pain of suffering people, they seem to shrug.
I don't feel climate despair. I'm not desperate because of the "climate future". This feeling has a flair of snobbery to me. (I have strong feelings about the current war in Europe.) Mostly and primarily I feel hope, an unfounded and exuberant hope. In the end, humans are wonderful, despite everything. -

Indeed, the end is near. But that doesn't prevent the Russians from conducting their scorched earth war on Ukraine. If they cannot have Ukraine, they make sure nobody can live there anymore, regardless how many untrained Russian soldiers they'll have to sacrifice for that goal. Russia ceased to be a part of Europe. (That it ever could be a part is the great illusion of European countries like Germany...) -

No, they aren't. It's Soviet time old equipment; and the stocks of their high precision ammunition are pretty much depleted. There is a reason they need to turn to Iran and ask for drones to help them in their genocidal war against Ukraine. -

Is it cynical to say that the fourth estate is not the media but the market and stock exchange? Precisely because of their own feedback ability? And wouldn't that mean that market and stock exchange have some inalienable rights as well? And when did this change in the fourth estate occur? -

« Does a recently published paper by Peter McCullough and colleagues really “establish a mechanistic framework” for mRNA vaccine harm?
https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027869152200206X
This thread will explore that question. »
https://twitter.com/jsm2334/status/1517250211961360384
« It seems to me that rather than “establish a mechanistic framework”, this paper simply lays out speculative mechanistic hypotheses with little direct connection to mRNA vaccines. Hypotheses to validate, not principles to assume true unless disproven, as their conclusion implies »
https://twitter.com/jsm2334/status/1517839128754278400
« As I have looked back over this 🧵,I realize my conclusions may have implied I view the paper as a legitimate attempt at hypothesis generation which I do not, being too weakly stated (trying to be too nice 😀)
I amend the tone of my conclusions to more accurately convey my views »

« On some level it is hard not to feel for Putin. So much time, effort and and money getting all your Orbans, Trumps, Berlusconis, Schroeders and Bibis in a row but it still boils down to whether Pasha from Ulan Ude will or will not be too drunk to drive a tank »
What a gem!
