The global food system is broken, leaving billions of people either underfed or overweight and driving the planet towards climate catastrophe.

Leading up to the #brexit vote on 11th Dec, it seems there are 4 potential outcomes:
1. Vote approved, transition exhausts and we get stuck in the backstop.
2. Vote approved, then move to something closer, e.g. Norway.
3. Vote fails, gridlock, no-deal
4. Vote fails, no Brexit.

Confused about Brexit and #MeaningfulVote ?!

#austerity was bad, so Tories distract with "EU!" by means of #brexit

But that's not enough anymore, so now they lump in "Russia!"; and now we're enemies with everyone significant to our east (except murderous Saudis) and befriend the #OrangeNazi (West)

It will be worst when and if it actually happens; now #brexit is merely talk, it hasn't even happened https://twitter.com/glynmoody/status/1068584237727649793

So there was a big protest today by schoolkids who blew off school and marched in the streets over government inaction on climate change.

The Prime Minister has said they should be less activist and focus on their schooling instead.

I just saw this sign. These kids are great.

Record-breaking heat wave and "catastrophic" wildfires hit Australia. This the first time that Queensland's fire danger has been rated as "catastrophic," which is the highest threat level on their scale. - https://www.axios.com/heat-wave-and-catastrophic-wildfires-hit-australia-1ccb8643-6265-4b91-8b89-e4052789535e.html

Setting up a server we plan to use to host #foss, possibly #decentralized applications like #pleroma, #matrix, #peertube, #nextcloud, independent websites and other tools.
Aim is to help local projects, #circularEconomy structures and other like-minded people and projects to get the data back in their hands.

We are doing the whole thing as a #faircoop local node atm, and part of the funds for the server were donated by faircoop. Server itself is physically hosted in Naples, at the Ex-Asilo Filangieri

Exciting times.
