"That’s the first time solar has provided a quarter of the EU’s monthly electricity. It also made solar the bloc’s largest source of electricity for the month, ahead of nuclear (21%), gas (15%), wind (14%), hydro (12%), and coal (8%)."

"Solar power is sheltering Europe from the crippling costs of fossil fuel imports, as the war on Iran continues to keep oil and gas prices sky-high.

Harnessing sunlight for power saved Europe €20 billion between 1 March and 15 July by lowering demand for gas imports.Over the 137-day period, solar delivered average savings of €146 million per day. This is more than what France spends on defence each day."

A masterpiece built from limitation.

Using basic software, ghostly samples, and the atmosphere of post-rave London, Burial created an album that reshaped electronic music—not through technology, but through emotion.

The song that redefined what an electric guitar could sound like.

By turning texture into composition, Only Shallow became the blueprint for shoegaze—and one of the most influential recordings in modern alternative music.

Erstmals gibt es Hinweise auf eine Atmosphäre bei einem erdähnlichen Planeten in der habitablen Zone. Stellt sich die Frage, was das für die Suche nach außerirdischem Leben bedeutet.

…It seems to me the primary reason we’re not addressing demand (apart from venerating greed) is debt, which ‘mandates’ growth of the wrong things.

But we don’t know how to wind that down. We’re instead massively winding it up with delusions like AI.

“Morgan Stanley estimates that AI-related global debt issuance totaled $236 billion as of May 31 – 4 times as much as one year prior”

So we have to hope that the crash, when it comes, is seen as the opportunity it will be

…”People have lost their minds over a neat trick.”

“explicit climate denialism is well out of vogue in 2026. Most people profess belief in the consensus that society’s dependence on fossil fuels is warming the climate. This stops few of them from using a tech that’s directly increasing society’s thirst for oil. When people like me argue this tech is unfit for adoption on the basis of its energy requirements alone, AI users will simply ignore anything we have to say”

Mit besten Grüßen an das @ZDF

Eine bessere Werbung konntet ihr gar nicht machen. Alles was er sagt ist richtig!

Der Sender hat mit der Aktion - und vor dem Hintergrund der Pressemitteilung - gezeigt, auf welcher Seite er steht.

Die Frage: "Wo ist eigentlich ein Stauffenberg, wenn man ihn braucht" wurde vom Sender einen ganzen Tag lang in jeder sich gebender Gelegenheit verbreitet.

Das ZDF ist nicht nur rechts aussen.
Das ZDF ist das Problem.
