Entre 2021 & 2022, multiplication par 2 des subventions mondiales aux
❎énergies renouvelables ? NON
❎l'économie verte ? NON
❎la rénovation des bâtiments ? NON

NON, ce sont les subventions mondiales aux ENERGIES FOSSILES : 1000 Mds $ pour aggraver le réchauffement climatique
En plus de ces subventions à la consommation des énergies fossiles, l'AIE a recensé plus de 500 Mds $ de dépenses budgétaires pour réduire la facture énergétique des consommateurs en 2022 : l'essentiel, soit 350 Mds$, l'a été en Europe, dont la France avec son bouclier tarifaire.
On rappellera que :
➡️2009 #Pittsburgh : les pays du #G20 s'engagent à mettre fin aux subventions aux énergies fossiles

➡️2021 #COP26 : les Etats s'engagent à "supprimer progressivement [...] les subventions inefficaces aux combustibles fossiles".

Fin de la blague.

1/ The history of communication can NOT be told without #Pittsburgh

1786 ~ we have the 1st US newspaper west of the Allegheny Mountains
2/ November 2, 1920:

KDKA FM Radio began broadcasting making it the world's 1st commercial radio station.
Bonus points: It was precisely the moment when many US women were able to vote for the 1st time
3/ April 1, 1954 ~ WQED TV (home of Mr. Rogers) went on the air, making it the first publicly funded television station in the U.S.
Not bad, #Pittsburgh!

1/ Today’s entry gushed out of the intertubes - when all I wanted was to quickly fact check some deets about Pgh’s Dunking Stool

It’s one helluva dot connecting expedition that tumbles from the 1700s to the 1940s (that’s when I had to stop, there could be more)
2/ February, 1775 this twit called Dunmore, Governor of Virginia, orders a ducking (dunking) stool to be built for the court at Ft Pitt to handle talkative/troublesome women, aka “scolds”
By November court’s moved - stool’s whereabouts unknown
3/ 1829 Brilliant scold extraordinaire, Anne Royall, gets ticked off by her dour Presbyterian neighbors’ relentless chastising for her wicked tongue
Worst offender is a prominent married Presby elder who impregnated Anne’s maid

1/Miss Martha J Graham was one of #Pittsburgh’s 1st female principals. She rose thru the ranks at local schools for over 50 yrs & was beloved by 3 generations of students.

While poring thru articles about her something curious kept popping up, more on that later. Image
2/ Among Martha’s students were Mellons, Magees & Rauhs
Keep in mind these were public schools & ⬆️ came from powerful families. Image
3/ In the late 1880s Martha took in a tenant, Miss Jennie Ralston, who also was a teacher.

They remained together in #Pittsburgh for the rest of their lives, moving to various addresses, reforming & innovating education, & hobnobbing at high profile events Image

Probation for #Pittsburgh BLM extremist who racially terrorized White restaurant patrons.

Victoyia Townes was sentenced today for a 2020 attack where she and 3 other Pittsburgh BLM leaders assaulted and threatened to murder restaurant patrons with a clear racial motive.
Townes pled down to disorderly conduct charges despite originally being charged with multiple felonies.

No ethnic intimidation charges (PA version of a hate crime) were filed by @AlleghenyCoDA despite the clear racial motive of the threats and the victim statements on it.
Kenneth McDowell, who was also involved in the threats, pled guilty in April. He also received probation.

Local media described this case as "shouted and screamed obscenities at them with megaphones." without making any mention of the racist motive or death threats.

Formidable #G7 !
Rappelons que les pays du #G7 ont déjà éradiqué :
➡️le terrorisme international (1980)
➡️la pauvreté (années 1980 et 1990)
➡️a dette des pays du Sud (1999)
➡️le risque nucléaire (1986, 1996)
➡️le réchauffement climatique (2009)
➡️les paradis fiscaux (G20 - 2009)
#G7-#G20 sur #Climat
➡️1987 #Venise #G7 : "agir sur le climat"
➡️2009 #Laquila #G8 : 2°C max & 80% de baisse de GES d'ici 2050
➡️2009 à #Pittsburgh #G20 : fin des sub aux énergies fossiles
➡️2021 à #Rome #G20 : 1,5°C & #NeutralitéCarbone

Entre temps, les émissions de GES : +70%
Un mot sur la promesse de ne plus financer des projets d’énergies fossiles à l’étranger avant la fin de l’année 2022 : 6 des 7 pays du #G7 avaient déjà pris cet engagement lors de la #COP26. La nouveauté ne concerne donc que le Japon.

Ready for the #CFB Analytics Spring Top 40? Here we go. This Power Ranking is derived from a model which utilizes full Coach Staff efficiency metrics, roster talent, & returning production among other metrics. No opinion here, I just regurgitate the numbers. #NoOpinionJustNumbers
40 #Kentucky #BBN #SEC Power Rating: 61.726
Returning Production for the Wildcats may be a problem. At 39.72%, it puts them at 113th in the country. The schedule is manageable tho drawing Ole Miss & Miss State out the West. #CFB
39 #Washington #PurpleReign #Pac12
Power Rating: 62.271
Really like the new coaching staff in Seattle. Should put them in a better position to win. Roster talent purge from the prev regime will have an early effect (last 2 classes were 39th, 86th) but the ship has been righted.

Alright #CFBPlayoff viewers. Lets go through this week's poll. Once again, it was, as it always has been, predictable. The model was off an average of 1 spot per team for the entire Top 25 poll this week. So let's take a look at some resumes shall we? #CFB 🧵
If you took a peak at this projection yesterday, you were prepared for alot of what you saw last night. The resumes are all laid out very similarly to the way the Playoff Committee views them. #ThereIsNoEyeTest

SOS: 29, QW: 4, T25W: 2, GC: 3.3

Despite the horrible game control at 3.3, MSU snuck its way into the poll. They modeled at 26 so this isn't all that surprising. They are riding their good SOS, 4 QWs, and 2 T25Ws at this point. No surprise.

3 years ago, a far-right terrorist killed 11 people at the Tree of Life Synagogue in #Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh was one of the first far-right terror attacks on Jews in a long time and the deadliest attack on US Jews.

3 years ago, I wrote this text, which is still relevant

(1/x6) ImageImage
The attacker shouted "All Jews must die" before starting to shoot. He was no lone wolf. He was driven by the antisemitic conspiracy myth of the "great replacement." He was particularly enraged that the Synagogue worked with @HIASrefugees, a Jewish refugee aid organisation.

(2/6)
The same conspiracy myth motivated the terrorists in #Christchurch & #Halle. Because this is the sad reality: 3 years after Pittsburgh, far-right terror attacks on Synagogues happen or almost happen multiple times a year.

Happening NOW— White House, Secret Service officials prep for President Biden’s visit to Carpenters #Pittsburgh Training Center.

Within next 30 min-hour, Biden set to arrive & unveil his major infrastructure/jobs plan.

Limited access: ~2 dozen chairs spaced far apart; no public
Biden’s “American Jobs Plan” calls for pumping $ not only into traditional infrastructure projects — such as repairing dilapidated roads & bridges — but also expanding access to broadband internet, as the president tweeted about just as Air Force One touched down in #Pittsburgh.
The 4 areas covered in Biden’s infrastructure plan:

1). Roads, bridges, rail, transportation.

2). Broadband, water, power, housing & buildings.

3). Home & community-based care for seniors and people with disabilities.

3). Manufacturing.

„Es gibt demobilisierende Effekte, wenn die Betroffenen nach vorne gestellt werden und nicht die Täter.“ Im #HalleProzess wurde heute @Matthias_Quent gehört, er nahm dabei eine dringend notwendige Einordnungen zum Thema #RechterTerror vor. Details im Thread👇
Quent ging zunächst auf die internationale Geschichte von #RechterTerror ein, bei dem es die Idee gebe, es gebe einen inneren Feind, der äußere Feinde „ins Land“ holen wolle, um „das Volk“ oder „die weiße Rasse“ zu zerstören. In diesem Zusammenhang sei die Tat von #Halle zu sehen
Der Sachverständige wies auf die Konstruktion einer positiven Bezugsgruppe, die mobilisiert werden solle, und einer negativen Bezugsgruppe, die eingeschüchtert werden solle, hin. Der Attentäter von #Halle beziehe sich also auf Ideologiefragmente mit langer Geschichte.
