BlueSky running ads about being “billionaire-proof”, but a so understand it, it’s still not actually billionaire-proof. I’ve read over the last year articles discussing several issues — anyone know if these are still true?

- all DMs go through BlueSky the company

- all posts go through a single Relay which is prohibitively expensive to replicate

- other Relays not allowed to participate

Holy crap. In the EU, fuel consumption monitoring devices are required on new cars. They studied over 10% of all cars sold in 2021 and turns out they use way more fuel, and generate way more CO2, than anybody thought. Nearly a quarter more. Plug-in Hybrids do poorly too.

This means our projections about getting cars off the road for the climate crisis is hugely undercounting the effects. More rail, more e-bikes, more electric, faster.

Lead organizer, asked what this anti-trans hate festival is saving children from: “frigging education and all the stuff they’re teaching them in schools and the trans agenda* and the math agenda”.

The math agenda.

* Just for clarity: the “trans agenda” doesn’t exist. It’s explicit hatred. It enables genocide.
