This piece is a piece that means a lot to me as it represents a lot. It symbolizes the simple message of ” keep doing what you love”. No matter how many hardships and obstacles you encounter along the way you need to just push them aside and do what makes you happy.
This is one of the first pieces I ever made and still one of my favorites. This image works as a piece of advice for everyone we all need to work to do what we truly love. Once we have achieved that, we haven’t really worked a day in our lives! – HIJACK

This represents the constant growing conflict and separation of today’s society politically. It serves as a metaphor that as people we should understand the fact that everyone will have a different opinion than our own and it would be beneficial for us to try to understand the opposing side and use it as a source for growth and knowledge rather than a source for criticism and judgment. – HIJACK

HIJACK: Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Wednesday signed into law a controversial abortion bill that could punish doctors who perform abortions with life in prison. Alabama will become the state with the country’s most restrictive abortion law and the law will immediately become fodder for the swirling debate over if (and when) the Supreme Court might consider overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. “When women are in control of their sexuality, it threatens a core element underpinning right-wing ideology: patriarchy,” .”It’s a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the 1 essential thing a person should command: their own body.” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes

Climate Change Addressed Through Street Art (16 Powerful Images)
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet, and artists are using graffiti and street art as a powerful means to address this global crisis.
In today’s blog post, we’ll explore 16 awe-inspiring images that not only capture the urgency of climate change but also inspire us to take action in our daily lives.
1. Melting Ice: A Visual Reminder of Our Fragile Ecosystem
One powerful image that often appears in climate change-themed street art is the depiction of melting ice caps and glaciers. These striking visuals serve as a stark reminder of the rapid and devastating impact of global warming on our planet’s delicate ecosystems.
The ice sculptures, handcrafted by Brazilian artist Nele Azevedo, were set up in a public area by WWF Germany to show the direct effect of climate change in the Arctic on the whole planet and the future of humanity and nature: By OakoakClimate Change: Tiny ice figurines draw attention to big problem
2. Endangered Species: The Fight to Preserve Biodiversity
Many artists use their talent to draw attention to the plight of endangered species, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts to protect Earth’s biodiversity. These emotive images remind us of the consequences of inaction and encourage us to support wildlife preservation. By Louis Masai at Shoreditch Station in London, UK“The Wrong Amazon Is Burning” on the Amazon Tower in Berlin
3. Deforestation: The Disappearing Lungs of Our Planet
Street art that tackles deforestation brings attention to the alarming rate at which we are losing Earth’s precious forests – our planet’s lungs. These powerful images drive home the importance of preserving our natural resources and the urgent need for reforestation efforts. By Dr Love at Upfest – In Bristol, EnglandMartín Ron: The causes? Many: Extreme climate change, drought, deforestation, reduction of wetlands and a lot of disinterest in asking ourselves questions. The consequences? Too many. This mural is part of a new series of murals in which I am working where the protagonist is the reflection. And how opportune to get involved to invite you to reflect on what happens when a river runs out of water.
4. Extreme Weather: The New Normal
As climate change worsens, extreme weather events have become increasingly common. Artists often depict these events in their work to illustrate the direct consequences of our changing climate and the urgency to act now. Support – By Italian sculptor Lorenzo Quinn in Venice, Italy.
5. Rising Sea Levels: The Threat of Disappearing Coastlines
Rising sea levels pose a significant threat to coastal communities worldwide. Street art depicting submerged cities and landscapes can evoke a strong emotional response, emphasizing the need for immediate climate action to protect our planet’s future. By Banksy: I don’t believe in global warming
6. Pollution: The Toxic Reality of Our Modern World
Many artists choose to showcase renewable energy solutions in their work, promoting a cleaner, greener future. By depicting solar panels and wind turbines, these images encourage us to support and invest in alternative energy sources. Clean Energy – By TABBY
8. Sustainability: A Lifestyle Shift
Street art can inspire us to adopt more sustainable lifestyles by highlighting the benefits of eco-friendly practices, such as recycling, composting, and reducing waste. These images can motivate us to make simple, everyday changes to lessen our impact on the environment. By Leon Keer: Nice 3D effect and interesting motifs on the cups if you look closer. Green – oil rigs and a polluted beach. Pink – a stranded broken abandoned boat. Brown – a dead moose. Blue – a far from equal meeting between settlers and Indians.
9. Climate Activism: The Power of Collective Action
Many artists use their work to celebrate and support climate activism, featuring images of protesters and powerful messages calling for change. These visuals remind us that our collective voices can make a difference in the fight against climate change. Politicians Discussing Climate Change by Isaac Cordal

#ElonMusk says he's taking a step back from #DOGE after #Tesla "blowback" Stock value dropped 71%. Why it matters: His controversial tenure leading a massive overhaul of the U.S. government has caused "blowback" for Tesla, he said. What about undermining the entire federal government, stealing and monetizing every sensitive databases on every aspect of our #economy, #socialsecurity, #healthcare, privacy, #trade #commerce
* Translation from our friends as DeepL ** reposted from Diaspora* since Friendica only post a link through Mastodon, I mean, uh, it's not that seamless, that activitypub thingy. There was a discussion on Facebook that Tesla was not started by #Musk, but by Martin #Eberhard and Marc #Tarpenning (2003-2008), and that Musk was the investor who got the company for his investment (and $8 million); and that Musk did nothing to make #Tesla what it is. I disagreed like hell. I got a response of "but come on, he barely added anything technically!". And I wrote this reply.
What has Elon Musk given us?
...no no no NO NO. Musk has added nothing of technical value. That's not the guy's superpower.
He said he has a vision for the electric car. When everyone said it was stupid, impossible, no way, look around and wa

...no no no NO NO. Musk has added nothing of technical value. That's not the guy's superpower.
He said he has a vision for the electric car. When everyone said it was stupid, impossible, no way, look around and wake up. Electric cars will never be sold or usable! He single-handedly created the residential electric car industry. Beat that.
He put money in when it looked hopeless. A LOT of money. (In fact, he gathered a lot of it, by whatever means. By EVERY method he had.)
He pushed money into the charging network when it seemed totally pointless in the short to medium term.
He made a financial plan that was decades in the making (release the sports model, use it to pay for the high end model, use it to pay for the people's car at an absurd $35k).
If the financial plan had been a bit optimistic he have topped it with excellent marketing pushing on all fronts, where the car became not just a status symbol, but a gadget. TOUCH SCREEN! In the car!!!! Cameras! IN CAR!!!! FREE CHARGING!!!!!1111oneoneONEONE
He kept to the fact that it had to go, even though there were a few downhill slopes (and then there are some).
He put personal energy into it, and a lot of that.
That's his superpower. That's what he put in. Because he's a narcissistic aggressive autistic asshole, and all of those are excellent superpowers for this particular task. He can't give up, he can push anyone down to do it and he does it no matter what anyone thinks, says or does.

Facebookon volt egy vita, hogy a Teslát nem #Musk indította, hanem Martin #Eberhard és Marc #Tarpenning (2003-2008), és Musk a befektető volt, aki a befektetéseiért (és 8 millió dollárért) megkapta a céget; és hogy Musk nem tett semmit hozzá, hogy a #Tesla az legyen, ami. Baromira nem értettem egyet. Kaptam egy választ, hogy „de hát ne már, műszakilag alig adott hozzá valamit!”. És erre írtam ezt a választ.
Mit adott nekünk Elon Musk?

Mit adott nekünk Elon Musk?
…nemnemnemNEMNEM.
Musk nem adott hozzá műszaki értéket. Nem ez a csávó szuperképessége.
Azt mondta, hogy a villanyautóban van fantázia. Mikor mindenki azt mondta, hogy hülye, lehetetlen, kizárt, nézzen már körül és ébredjen fel. Villanyautók sosem lesznek eladhatóak vagy használhatóak! Egyszemélyben létrehozta a lakossági villanyautó-ipart. Beat that.
Pénzt nyomott bele akkor is, amikor reménytelennek tűnt. SOK pénzt. (Sőt, szerzett egy csomót, tökmindegy, milyen módszerekkel. MINDEN módszerrel, amije csak volt.)
Pénzt nyomott a kúthálózatba, amikor ez teljesen értelmetlennek tűnt rövid- és középtávon.
Csinált egy olyan pénzügyi tervet, ami évtizedekre meg volt tervezve (kidobjuk a sportmodellt, ebből fizetjük a high end modellt, ebből fizetjük a népautót abszurd $35k áron).
Ha a pénzügyi terv kissé optimista lett volna megtolta egy minden fronton nyomuló, kiváló marketinggel, ahol az autó nem csak státusszimbóleum lett, hanem egy bazi gadget. ÉRINTŐKÉPERNYŐ! Autóban!!! Kamerák! AUTÓBAN!!! INGYEN TÖLTÉS!!!!!4444NÉGYNÉGY
Tartotta magát ahhoz, hogy ennek mennie kell, pedig volt pár lejtmenet (meg ugye van is).
Személyes energiát tolt bele, rengeteget.
Ez a szuperképessége. Ezt tette bele. Mert egy narcisztikus aggresszív autista, és ezek mindegyike kiváló szuperképesség pont ehhez a feladathoz. Nem tudja feladni, képes letolni bárkit ennek érdekében és csinálja, akárki akármit gondol, mond vagy tesz.
Tesla's self-driving capability is something like 10 times more deadly than a regular car piloted by a human, per an analysis of a new government report. #ryanlcooper has it:
"A #motorcyclist on a #HarleyDavidson was #traveling in a high-occupancy lane on Interstate 15 outside Salt Lake City, shortly after 1 am. A #Tesla in Autopilot struck the #bike from behind."
“It’s very dangerous for #motorcycles to be around #Teslas,” Former #NHTSA senior #safety adviser Missy Cummings said.
Check out the latest "Smashing Security" podcast, where @gcluley and Carole discuss how Tesla employees are sharing videos of customers, and sinister Operation Fox Hunt scams targeting Chinese citizens in the United States.
Graham wonders what would happen if his bouncing buttocks were captured on camera by a Tesla employee, and we take a look at canny scams connected to China'
After Tesla’s share price plummeted last year, it won’t be any surprise to hear the company’s in trouble, but from growing EV competition to increased scrutiny on Autopilot, that’s only the beginning.
This week on #TechWontSaveUs, @niedermeyer joins me for a deep dive into Tesla, the challenges the company is facing, and why it’s so hard to get away from Elon Musk.
Paris Marx is joined by Edward Niedermeyer to discuss the rollercoaster ride of Tesla’s share price, the escalating regulatory and legal scrutiny the company faces, and the challenges it faces in the electric car market.Edward Niedermeyer is the a...
"Tesla will not be selling any bitcoin and we intend to use it for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy... We are also looking at other cryptocurrencies that use (less than 1 per cent) of bitcoin’s energy/transaction."
