In a global context, this is a confession of absolute backwardness. I see more EVs on the streets of Qatar every month.
Ah cool, so the frontrunner for California’s next governor is already signaling he wants to retreat on the state’s climate goals (via POLITICO)

And another crazy wall... Russian backwardness as the norm.

He also criticized Russia's economic growth rate. "The world is moving forward at a rate of 3-4%, while we've been at 1% for 15 years. This is unacceptable," he said.

Zyuganov noted Russia's technological backwardness compared to the rest of the world, "we haven't made our own phone in 20 years."

"Science is the golden road out of poverty and backwardness for emerging nations. The corollary, one that the United States sometimes fails to grasp, is that abandoning science is the road back into poverty and backwardness."

I cannot wait for the day when noisy combustion engines become a sign of backwardness.

I fucking hate those motorbikes.

You know the rules: Republicans and rurals get to call cities degenerate Sodom but God forbid you point out rural backwardness or drug problems.

Artificial Ignorance

Assembled answers stand,
A backwardness unmanned,
Upon a barren strand.

The harvest, vast and great,
A haystack's pointless freight,
This ignorance, our fate.

1/ Russia simply isn't capable of doing in Ukraine what the US and Israeli air forces are doing in Iran, a prominent Russian warblogger admits. He blames the Russian air force's "organisational backwardness, underdeveloped intelligence, and lack of specialised aviation." ⬇️

I’m observing with concern how displaying even the slightest critical stance towards wide AI adoption in academia is being labelled as being ‘in denial’ and by backwardness.
"The goal of academic training is not to solve problems as efficiently and quickly as possible, but to develop skills for identifying and dealing with novel problems, which have never been solved before"

I don't have strong opinions about religiosity in politics because it's both basically the only source of universalist pro-social moral conduct among zero trust conspiracy peasants (who are 40% of the US electorate) and also a major source of backwardness and obscurantism

God bless Slayyyter for being one of the only people left making outrageously horny music in this era of regression and backwardness

Having brainwashed themselves into believing their own lead-the-world propaganda, they seem surprised the said world didn’t follow them into a ditch of backwardness and stupidity.

Almost as if you led nothing and no one.

Curious.

If Big Brother doesn’t like your science topic you won’t be funded and if Big Brother doesn’t like your results you will be defunded. A recipe for backwardness that seems to be designed by people who want America to humiliate itself and collapse.

11/ "The Russian Aerospace Forces, however, due to their organisational backwardness, underdeveloped intelligence, and lack of specialised aviation, are unable to conduct a similar operation to conquer the enemy's skies.

I exhort the rest of the world to leave the United States, in all its spiteful backwardness and lung-cancer cronyism, in the dust.
In the past two years, with surprisingly little notice, renewable energy has suddenly become the obvious, mainstream, cost-efficient choice around the world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.
4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment
In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.
