Interviewing a govt minister Hazarika shows a graph comparing young people claiming PIP to the size of our armed forces & declares it "tells a story about modern Britain" I can't even make a sarcastic comment about our fearless fourth estate, because Hazarika is a Labour politician

GFrei.News reported that the planned flooding of the lignite mining areas of Hambach and Garzweiler is deliberately destroying the German economy and ending 100 years of affordable energy security. Plans from 1977 and 1995 had intended to fill exhausted open-pit mines with water from the Rhine and to renature them. Now, the approval for lignite mining is being revoked, although, according to the author, there is still enough coal there to supply Germany for another 100 years. Lignite is almost as cheap as nuclear power and is also used for briquettes, lignite dust, and fluidized bed coal, wrote GFrei.News. A fast-track approval process has been initiated for flooding the mining areas still containing coal, and the construction of a 45-kilometer long pipeline has begun at a high three-digit million amount. By 2030, this will destroy a resource wealth worth around 1 trillion euros, according to the author. A later resumption of mining would take decades and be too expensive. GFrei.News referred to the flooding as the permanent destruction of energy security and fuel worth 1 trillion euros. The excavator 293 will also be decommissioned: the vehicle weighs more than 14,000 tons, is 225 meters tall, and is the largest land vehicle in the world. It has been in operation for 30 years and is a symbol of German engineering and national pride, the author wrote. GFrei.News accused the state of "state terrorism against its own people" and wrote that the consequences would be far worse than the explosion of NordStream. The author hoped that the AfD would come to power in time to prevent the plans. #Energiewende #Braunkohle #Energiesicherheit (translated)

Michał Podlewski praised Remek Kinas, attributing to him a contribution to the creation of Bielik, described by Podlewski as the first Polish model with reasoning trained through RL. He wrote that Kinas is developing biological AI in a Polish startup, and after hours — financing the work with his own funds and without external support — he created the decision model Jev, which was supposed to be better and faster than the original. Podlewski also stated that Kinas advises the Krakow company SATIM in creating systems for detecting ships in ports and airplanes at airports based on satellite radar images and is a co-author of the Pathway publication on BDH architecture. He added that many young AI specialists admire him, and Kinas himself is modest, friendly, and committed to the development of Polish artificial intelligence. He estimated that in America, he could lead a large AI laboratory and called him an example of the slogan "A Pole can do it." https://t.co/Z8IeMIzufd #AI #startup #Polska (translated)

Pedro Menin stated that an interview with Roberta Luchsinger, whom he called a lobbyist for Lula, would air on CNN at 8 PM that Saturday.

Menin also said that Luchsinger would talk about meetings she claimed to have witnessed between Lulinha and members of the government, her relationship with a former chief of staff of the Presidency, the possibility of cooperating with the Justice, Lulinha's move to Spain, precautionary measures that had been in place since December, and threats she said she had received. The author stated that Roberta Luchsinger and Vorcaro wanted to cause a commotion and wrote that he had already prepared popcorn, anticipating that the "mafia" would fall. https://t.co/afQPLVbDjH #Lula #CNN #Entrevista (translated)

Bojan Požar wrote that in his opinion, the response from the office of the president of the Ljubljana District Court, Daša Pogorevc Filipič, unequivocally indicates that Švarc Pipan deceived the present security police after the usual security check, similar to those at airports. He added that they probably did not expect this from the former Minister of Justice, who was mainly known from the media. #pravosodje #varnost #politika (translated)

The author wrote that, in his opinion, the powers provided for in the draft law would not have prevented any of the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines, the Christopher Street Day, or the power supply in Berlin.

Aron Flam wrote that the USA and Europe closed mines, gas fields, pipelines, refineries, and power plants, while the replacement was largely manufactured in China with cheap and largely dirty coal power. He stated that China accounted for 55.8 percent of the world's coal combustion in 2024 and produced 51.7 percent of the coal. That same year, the country began to build 94.5 gigawatts of new coal power, which according to Flam corresponded to 93 percent of all new coal power in the world and was the highest level in a decade. He also wrote that China burned more coal than all other countries combined and accounted for nearly a third of emissions. Flam stated that the USA had reduced its emissions by about 13 percent since 2010 and that the EU had reduced its emissions by more than 25 percent since the year 2000. During the same period, China, according to him, had increased its annual carbon dioxide emissions by over three billion tons – more than the entire EU's emissions. He claimed that the emissions thus remained, but were booked in the country that had taken over the factories. He also referred to an entire section on YouTube and wrote that the link was in the comments. #Klimatförändring #Koldioxidutsläpp #Energi (translated)

The X-user Gr@ntlɘr wrote that the Washington Post reported that German lawmakers were informed at the end of June 2022 about a CIA warning: a Ukrainian team had intended to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline.

Three months later, Kiesewetter referred to Russia as a likely perpetrator of the attack in the morning magazine and soon thereafter appeared to be convinced of it.
