Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat? We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film. When it comes to climate change, we're using every tool at our disposal — including everyday infrastructure — to keep New Yorkers safe.

Ich habe heute versucht, die Chatkontrolle zu stoppen. Am Wochenende mussten Sibylle Berg und ich Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola schriftlich mitteilen, dass das Durchprügeln der Chatkontrolle im Eilverfahren leider gegen die Geschäftsordnung des EU-Parlaments verstößt. Während Metsola der interessierten Presse daraufhin (fälschlicherweise) mitteilte, dass das schon alles seine Richtigkeit habe, warten wir immer noch auf ihre Antwort. Deshalb wollte ich es ihr heute bei der Eröffnungssitzung in Straßburg noch einmal erklären. Und musste erstaunt feststellen, dass die Präsidentin doch Regeln kennt: Exakt nach 60 Sekunden hat sie mir das Mikrophon abgestellt. (regelkonform, wird aber selten gemacht) Dabei hätte ich noch einiges zu sagen gehabt: "Frau Präsidentin, Sie wachen nach Artikel 22 über dieses Regelwerk (mit der ausgedruckten Geschäftsordnung wedelnd) - erklären Sie den Eilantrag für unzulässig. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht auf Malta! Die aktuelle Fassung der Geschäftsordnung überreiche ich Ihnen gerne persönlich. In der MEP-Bar." Wie es nun weitergeht? Morgen wird über das Eilverfahren abgestimmt, obwohl diese Abstimmung gar nicht stattfinden dürfte. Wenn der Antrag erfolgreich ist, kommt die Chatkontrolle Donnerstagmittag zur Abstimmung ins Plenum. Um sie noch zu stoppen, müssten 361 Abgeordnete - eine qualifizierte Mehrheit - DAGEGEN stimmen. Die schlechte Nachricht: Donnerstag ist der letzte Tag vor der Sommerpause und viele MEPs dürften bereits auf dem Weg in den Urlaub sein. Ein Schelm, wer Böses denkt bei dieser Terminierung... Smiley! Wenn die Chatkontrolle durchgeht, dürfen die Plattformen (also die US-Tech-Bros) wieder & weiterhin fröhlich & ganz legal Ihre Nachrichten scannen. Schreiben Sie also gefälligst etwas unterhaltsamer in den kommenden Wochen... ZwinkerSmiley!

On Thursday, the European Parliament votes on Chat Control 1 (the voluntary scanning, not the mandatory scanning, called Chat Control 2). Again. The Parliament has already voted against Chat Control 1. Two times. But the Council of Ministers and the Parliament President refuse to accept it. Now, the Council has demanded an urgent procedure. This is a procedure that is meant to be used for new legislative proposals, not proposals that the Parliament has already rejected. An urgent procedure requires an absolute majority to be rejected (361 out of the Parliament's 720 members). This will be difficult to reach, since those who abstain from voting are counted as a yes-vote in an urgent procedure. By scheduling the vote during the summer, they are making it even harder to reach those 361 no-votes. This is downright dirty tactic by the Council and the President of the European Parliament. The President of the European Parliament has sided with the Council against her own chamber. For context, this is the EP President, Roberta Metsola: ---

I understand the limited comments, so using qrt to say this is a really cool behind the scene picture, love to see what this process looks like. Wishing Ilhan Omar's campaign well.

I hate to my negative about content here but this is an actual industry plant. It’s ok to like this sort of game, but how it’s presenting itself hurts actual indie games. - real licensed music - massive array of custom assets and cutscenes, fully voiced too - insanely pricey press kits sent out to small and big CCs - presents itself as “indie”. This is not “indie”. This is a refined product that was made for millions. Most likely a medium sized team of 12-30 full time for years. This kind of low hanging fruit stealing + indie labeling hurts actual small dedicated teams of real game devs. There will be actual indie devs that miss out on awards this season because of this extremely well funded AA title masquerading as an indie.

A musical delight from start to finish, Mixtape sets a new standard for coming-of-age stories in video games and does so with a masterful sense of style. Our 10/10 review: bit.ly/4tEkAad

EU citizens should sign this European Citizens' Initiative to suspend the EU-Israel association agreement (=free trade). This is a powerful constitutional tool, which at 1 mil signatures forces EU bodies to take action (see ⬇️). It's already at 750,000. eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#/s…

@podecacau ahh the constant state of struggling to figure out whether to identify as grace or aceflux. why can't i just feel one consistent way about pie.

The US is starving Cuba with an illegal blockade, so I'm setting sail this week, bringing food and medicine to Cuba with @ProgIntl It turns out, it's compulsory to play a little jig for the sea gods before we leave. Wish us luck!!!!

BREAKING Spain’s PM Sánchez: “They say that Spain is alone.” “They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed.” “We are not alone. We are the first.” “Those defending the indefensible will be the ones left alone.” 🇪🇸

Today, February 28, 2026, the world has witnessed a grave and dangerous escalation of aggression. In the early morning hours, coordinated military strikes were launched against the sovereign territory of Iran, with explosions rocking the capital city of Tehran and other major urban centers. The International People’s Assembly strongly condemns the military strikes taken against Iran in the early morning of February 28th by the United States and Israel. This attack, conducted without clear justification, is an act of war against all the peoples of the region and threatens an even wider and more destructive conflict after two and half years of genocidal war against the people of Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. We call upon social movements, political parties, labor unions, and all people of conscience around the world to demonstrate their opposition to this aggression. It is essential to uphold the principle that sovereign nations have the right to determine their own future. #StopTheWar #StopTheAgression #Iran

iran wouldn’t be getting bombed if they developed nukes and a delivery system like jericho 3. mearsheimer is totally correct. the region would be more stable if iran had nukes rn. the moment trump ripped up the jcpoa should’ve been the moment they threw away the fatwa.

there’s no such thing as a preemptive strike. israel is striking iran in-spite of the negotiations that the oman mediators tried to publicize in us media to avoid this exact outcome. little did they know, israel gets what it desires. even if it collapses the west.

🚨 OUT TODAY: Public figures, elected officials, artists & orgs—incl. 22 NYC Council Members, Mark Ruffalo, Kal Penn, Susan Sarandon, Alice Walker, & others—have signed a Call to Conscience demanding an end to Trump’s assault on Cuba. Sign on now: letcubalive.info

@MrDrewC people think they are out here arguing against evil in the comments. acolyte was not great, but i don't see why anti-woke hogs needed cancelled so hard it's not canon. Star wars is worse off for how acolyte was treated, and disney are disgusting cowards for caving.

when a show gives you fight scenes THIS good, you don’t cancel it after one season. you renew it. #RenewTheAcolyte

This show gave Star Wars fans exactly what they’ve been saying they wanted: a new story in a new timeline with prequels-level saber choreography — and the most media illiterate chuds on this website ruined it. #RenewTheAcolyte
