Republicans hate the idea that they may have to live within the earth's natural limits. Their cult rejects science because of bronze age myths.

But de-funding science and continuing to use five year's worth of resources every year hoping a sky fairy will fix it later is stupid, and irresponsible. And a lie.

No magic solution exists to our own greed and selfishness.

»#Culture holds immense power, both in connecting disparate communities and in shaping formations of shared identity. Preserving #Palestinian culture poses a grave threat to #Israel’s genocidal project. In conjunction with organizing in solidarity with the movement for a free #Palestine, it is imperative to also support the preservation of this #history.

The following are my favorite free and digital #resources to better learn and engage with Palestinian culture:«

"Value-per-acre analysis is powerful because it reveals what raw numbers often miss: how efficiently #land contributes to a community’s #financial #health. It doesn’t tell #cities what to build or where to build it. But it helps communities see which investments generate lasting #value, and which ones may quietly drain #resources over time."

Free Manual Wheelchair Reference Models (Version 2)
I've updated the wheelchair models I released for last year's Disability pride month to include adjustable shaders/materials that carry over into programs like Clip Studio Paint for folks who just want to use them as reference, and (what I hope is) a clearer guide on how to use, import/export and make alterations to them!
Each chair is designed to suit different kinds of characters with different disabilities and lifestyles. The chairs available right now are:

2 Active urban-style chairs (one of which includes a rear-mounted power assist)
1 off-road active chair
1 children's wheelchair
and 1 standard "hospital" wheelchair.

and I'm planning to add 2 more by the end of disability pride month (2025)
ko-fi.com/cycyborg/shop
Or you can download the pack drive.google.com/file/d/1Tzm_T
Included in each download is:

the original .blend file for each wheelchair model
an .obj and .mtl file for each chair that can be imported into other 3D modelling software or into some art programs like Clip Studio Paint
A link to a user's manual that explains how to make alterations to the files for those less familiar with Blender, and how to import and save them to your Clip Studio Paint Asset/Material library on both desktop and ipad versions of CSP.

I would really like to keep updating these files and eventually include rigs for each (one of these was rigged previously, but I'm not sure what happened, it seems to have broken after one of the Blender updates)

Just like last time, they're completely free to use, with the caveat that they can't be resold or used in AI training. Credit isn't required but is greatly appreciated (as are tags so I can see art that used them!)

Futurist Jim Carroll

"Opportunities come not just from turning trash into treasure, but from engineering systems and products to make that a regular reality." - Futurist Jim Carroll

(Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series on 30 Megatrends, which he first outlined in his book Dancing in the Rain: How Bold Leaders Grow Stronger in Stormy Times. The trends were shared in the book as a way of demonstrating that, despite any period of economic volatility, there is always long-term opportunity to be found. The book is now in print - learn more at dancing.jimcarroll.com)

Sustainability is moving from corporate responsibility to core business strategy, despite political pushback. The circular economy, which involves turning waste streams into value, represents one of the greatest untapped opportunities of our time - a multi-trillion dollar opportunity!

Want to dig deeper? There's a full PDF here - the summary is below.

What's it all about? Perhaps the best example of what it is all about? Apple, at this point, essentially designs the iPhone and other products not only for sale to the consumer, but for eventual disposal, with deconstruction of returned devices for parts, materials, and more. That's called 'design for deconstruction,' and it not only makes sense from an environmental perspective, but from an economic perspective.

With that example in mind, the interesting thing is that, unlike many sustainability or other corporate responsibility initiatives, which seem to be thrown away as political sands shift, this one isn't going away. It isn't just a buzzword or a niche aspect of corporate social responsibility. It's evolving into a core business strategy.

How big an opportunity is it? Pretty big - estimates going from $339 billion in 2022 to $8 to 10 trillion by 2035!

There are a few ideas with the trend: one is designing products to last longer.

Another is to design them for deconstruction, as previously mentioned.

And a third is the integration of advanced recycling technologies into every aspect of the supply chain - so that supply chains don't just get the product to the consumer, they also take over when the consumer sends it back!

With all this in mind, there are many sector-specific opportunities.

Habt ihr am 10.Juli, 19h schon etwas vor?

Wenn nicht, dann kommt vorbei und diskutiert mit uns über die Auswirkungen der immer mehr werdenden Servercentren in Berlin und Brandenburg.
Wir freuen uns sehr @thomasfricke als Experten dabei zu haben. Niklas Steinke & Fabian Halfar (TU Berlin) teilen zudem ihr brandaktuelles Wissen bezüglich Stromverbrauch der Berliner Serverzentren mit uns.
Es wird spannend...
