Is it conflict of interest for the “official energy sponsor” of the World Cup to also own one of the teams?

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google. My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence! go.bsky.app/8cn1XfT

Waking up to the news back in Venezuela. Sending love and solidarity. This is terrifying. This is aggression, it should be denounced as illegal, and the innocent are going to suffer.

We also have a piece in today's @nationalobserver.com -- the tldr: we need federal leadership on projects that build our future, not those that deepen economic risks and add fuel to climate fires www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/24/o...

Canada, let’s stop doubling down on bad bets

Expanding fossil fuel exports won’t secure Canada’s future — it will strand it.

A play, in one act: An inequalities scholar who earns >$350,000 a year is invited to a public institution under distress to give a talk and charges their normal rate of $5,000 for the day, plus travel expenses. Name of the play?

Power Shift is out! This keywords project brings together many long-admired energy humanities thinkers in 1 book of v. assignable essays. In my entry I don't talk much about screen time & instead muse about infrastructure, data sovereignty, and (eventually, a little bit,) bikes. powershiftbook.com

A photo of a book chapter. It starts:

Online: When we are online, what lines are we on?

The meanings of the word online are less narrow that we usually imagine. Though its use skyrocketed with the advent of the internet, 'online' messages and practices can be found in early twentieth-century discussions of the telegraph's electric signals as well as the linear paths of the railway... The word speaks not to a technology but to an infrastructural condition.

The chapter continues: What will lines mean in such a future? This is an undecided question, and so also a promissory one. In visions of the Green New Deal, in experimental networks, and in Indigenous land and water protection movements, we find the unfolding of spaces and times that lines have long compressed. They prompt us in part to ask: what if lines were built not only for transmission, but also for living and leisure, featuring linear parks that bridge urban and rural landscapes? How might community-controlled networks get more people on screens, but also outside, locating the lines of sight and solar panel placements needed to make different kinds of connectivity? Could we learn to stream video while the wind blows, and pursue less energy- and data-intensive pleasures when the turbines are still? And what if Indigenous data sovereignty and land sovereignty were thought and practiced together, such that consent was meaningfully negotiated for the transit of such lines, so that they in turn served to connect and benefit the nations they crossed? Lines, in this future, might invite new modes of dwelling within the spaces of interconnection...

Carlos Latuff’s editorial cartoon honoring Pepe Mujica. The image is a drawing of Mujica hugging South America and a word bubble from South America says “Gracias por todo, compa” (thanks for everything, friend)

Text says: “Pepe Mujica 1935 - 2025”

Great piece from @veronicagago.bsky.social and @williamcallison.bsky.social situating Milei in the global context and exploring the logic of self-sacrifice in which "wages of cruelty" make up for material sacrifices and suffering www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

From Trump to Milei, the far right is betting that spectacles of revenge will compensate for steep economic sacrifice.

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed? I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism 👀 September 2025 @wwnorton.bsky.social

The popularity of Joe Rogan is a symptom of the death of punk.

It seems appropriate that my second post is memorializing the Red Dragon

Giving this a try. (Though I must admit a certain allure to giving up social media once and for all…)
