btw the top 10% is 800 million people so if you’re from the west you’re more than likely part of that figure.

doesn’t mean it’s your fault but if you’re not actively doing something to prevent it then you are part of the problem…

Ugh - why does renewable energy have to be such a politicized issue - the article begins by stating that the president absolutely denied it was due to renewables - only to spend the rest of the article exploring how to handle renewable overproduction so it doesn’t cause grid instability

like can we not tackle infrastructural problems without them turning into a shit flinging contest - people are afraid to say that renewables have any downsides because the fossil fuel industry spends so much on propaganda to politicize energy production - like we’re supposed to argue that unless renewables are flawless there’s no point in even trying

how did we go from reasonable discussions on how to most effectively solve problems (ie climate change) to making sure you don’t rustle oil barron’s jimmies so they don’t oust you out of government?

I’m just hoping people start waking up to how ridiculous this narrative is…

“Oh you want clean air and a stable environment for you children? Have you considered changing nothing and hoping it works out?”

(ps nuclear is cool but wouldn’t have solved the issue of overproduction)

googoo gaga behavior

huh? how so? she’s figuring out what she wants from life and her parents are supportive of that, seems pretty wholesome? or did you mean the losers in the comments just being weird and nasty? that is pretty sad I agree

Yikes that was painful - I find it quite entertaining how magas have like 3 phrases memorized and will just shout them out over and over again (with some bible verses about the rapture sprinkled in) - it’s just strange to peek into comments like those and see how literally nothing in their lives has changed in the past 10 years - the world has moved on but they’re still stuck in 2014 4chan mode…

Surely no conflict of interest from a blog that sells a Bluesky powertool…

Also did the Turkish government hack Bluesky’s email systems and send people emails notifying them their accounts were restricted in Turkiey or is this also “Bluesky not cooperating with Erdogan the way other platforms have.”?

idk i think our incentive should be to cure diseases with public funding and make people healthy instead of for profit but what do i know

comments on the video really tell you all you need to know about long term usage

Is this better science for you?

Empirical data.

It is.

“Meat and dairy products have especially large water footprints due to the amount of water-intensive feed required to raise the animals”

You mean the ban defined by the International* (Norwegian) Holocaust Remembrance Alliance? The IHRA that defended Norway’s commemoration of the nazi Knut Hamsun? The same IHRA that defines antisemitism as “Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.”?

Though I’m guessing you mean specifically “Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.”

Which I thought I made pretty clear with the parallel between apartheid South Africa and apartheid Israel - just as I believe the colonial state of the US has no right to exist - so I believe that the colonial state of Israel has no right to exist either.

So when I hear people chant “From the river to the sea” - I (and solidarity scholars) don’t see that as a call to violence against Jewish people - but as a reclamation of a slogan originally conjured up by Zionists for the equal rights of everyone in the Levant independent of their religion.

Right so you would have upheld and supported the 1982 Internal Security Acts in apartheid South Africa that outlawed chants like Mayibuye iAfrika because you “respect the law”

Thanks for telling on yourself.

*France is twice the population of California and 1.5 times the landmass

From said article: “Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly is an unsettling mixture of childish humor and fetishistic sexual innuendo, seemingly only meant to appeal to those who truly love every experience relating to farting.”

As ridiculous as the leaked group chat shit is - their assessment of the EU benefiting from US navy power was on point.

Currently EU officials can decry the Trump admin as the literal devil, but they’re awfully quiet when the same cabinet uses US might to attack Yemen to restore “freedom of navigation” through the Red Sea. Their politics of death and destruction are only an issue when their enemies don’t align…

Idk, this doesn’t sound like distancing tbh

I mean it sure would do more than pretending it’s not happening - but I get it - most Germans preferred to pretend they couldn’t smell the smoke either.

And again you don’t even have to risk your own safety by protesting - you could at least join a local community organizing group to help people most affected.

I’m sure you may think one person can’t make a difference but I can guarantee that even a single person more that’s helping out with mutual aid would be met with appreciation anywhere. Still good on you for financing charities - that is usually the very first step.

Also this isn’t a sprint - it’s a marathon - expecting protests now to have any immediate impact is just setting you up for failure - these fights have been fought for generations - so lock in and get ready to resist not just these 4 but the next 40 years.

And sorry if this feels overwhelming and you don’t think you have the capacity - but even doing 1 day of volunteering a month is a good starting point.

Why try to do anything so this doesn’t happen when it’s easier to dig your head in the sand 🙃
