« Less than 10% of all the plastic ever produced has been recycled. Which raises two questions. 1. Is that because we are all bad people, and if only we’d do our bit the world wouldn’t be in this mess? Or 2. Is this by design (ie. recycling such volumes was only ever a myth)? » (c’est la 2)

« #Plastics, are widely seen as the last growth market for global oil demand. As such, the future of the $700bn plastics production industry is a key concern of the fossil-fuel industry » https://medium.com/the-new-climate/is-recycling-a-lie-797eb98908b4

“We don't right now have any information about who put them up, we do know that they're very professionally designed signs. They're very large. They're very well done. So someone went to a lot of trouble to put these large signs up.” #fuckcars

« L'extrême droite ne se remettra jamais en question, quitte à se ridiculiser en direct ; l'extrême droite combat la vérité au profit de son discours de haine.

@jeffowski For me, it's seeing a screenshot of a screenshot on Bluesky. I prefer hearing from the source!

@GossiTheDog and people from the left that cry conspiracy are really not helping :/

@scottsantens @quixoticgeek I wonder how they are 10 years after this article. I hope someone will write an update in 2024

@GossiTheDog reminds me of the .eu story https://eurid.eu/en/news/brexit-eu-domain-name-holders/

Une équipe de chercheurs a tenté de générer des images sur #Midjourney. Impossible d’avoir un médecin noir qui soigne des enfants blancs.

Le médecin noir il sait faire, les enfants blancs aussi. Mais les deux c’est tellement inconcevable pour lui qu’il préfère caser des girafes.
J’aimerais bien dire que c’est incroyable mais c’est très évident.
