Two things together.
∆ Realisation that 2 degrees, even 1.5 degrees, is far from safe.
∆ Realisation that #climate impacts are happening faster than anticipated.
What a juxtaposition.

It's called #degrowth.

If Trump didn’t want his case tried in D.C., he shouldn’t have committed crimes in D.C. See how that works?

One alternative is www.bigbluebutton.org

You can self host this too, which is really good for ensuring you fully comply with your jurisdictions data protection laws.

We need to bolster our national IT security, last year. This is going to need INVESTMENT not half baked ideas or schemes.

Remote work is described to be so dangerous that it could disrupt nation states. When ppl have the power to choose their own jurisdiction, they can sculpt their lives to live in the most favorable location possible, and that includes paying the least taxes.

Sound familiar? This is what the 1% has been doing all along. The uproar against remote work corresponds with working class ppl starting to enjoy the exact same perks that the ultra-rich have enjoyed all along.

Now that working class ppl might start figuring out how to avoid paying taxes in the sane way the rich already have, suddenly we start finding remote described "dangerously disruptive" and billionaires going all out on information warfare against it.

Hey students… the existence of the notes doesn’t matter. The thinking you do when you read/ listen and summarize then write it down… that thinking is what matters. Don’t be fooled by the advice to “have AI take your notes.”

March 2022 a prospective buyer of my building started coming around trying to get my neighbours and I to move out. These were get-rich-quick flippers led by a 19 year old. They bought the building and proceed to try and "renovict" us. My neighbours and I resisted and got a lawyer once we needed one.

A year later they gave up and sold the building to another real estate investor who is more of an established get-rich-slow type. They walked into the legal shitshow the previous buyer had created and tried to carry it on.

They failed and finally they fired their lawyer, and signed every demand we gave them to drop their pursuits to evict us, fearing the embarrassing number of claims we had open against them that we would likely win. My neighbour, who had no physical lease and very little documentation, even got them to sign a new lease with him at his current rent.

So 16 months later we are all still in our apartments, with our rent unchanged. It's certain that this landlord or another will come around and try again at some point, but we collectively have maintained our 3 apartments at some of the cheapest rents in Montreal. Not to mention humiliating 2 different sets of landlords in court at the Tribunal Administratifs du Logements. Total victory.

Watch the scene inside the Predators hut thing, apparently there is a Alien (Xenomorph) head on the wall, this ties in with the AVP movies made much later.

I am sure the word Gay, back in the time of Shakespeare probably had a different meaning, not that the idiots making these nonsense rules up would have the IQ to understand that.

"Gaither High School teacher Joseph Cool told the Tampa Bay Times that because there is 'some raunchiness in Shakespeare,' the Hillsborough County school district decided to limit students to only reading certain excerpts of his work rather than full plays..."

This sounds like it was inevitable but it also is a very dangerous turn of events.

People are getting paid for #publishing #AI-written #books, in an #author's name, when in fact the author did not, and knew nothing about this happening.

Then, when the author tries to do something about it to stop this obvious #abuse, they are told no.

Perhaps we can come up with a good few examples and work with compoundchem.com/ (they have good reach to people) to create an infographic on disabilities in Science, could be a good starting point.

I think Prof Stephen Hawking is a good example of how MND did not stop him from making great advances in physics, lots of important research right up till the end pretty much.

Glacial floods could threaten ~15M ppl worldwide🚨. Sat’s event was astonishing bc the water gushed so quickly, raising the river’s flows to ~1.5X the highest previously recorded & washed away sensors to study the glacial phenomenon. 8 buildings have been condemned. The destruction came as a glacial dam burst-⬆️levels of the Mendenhall River to an unprecedented degree. >1/2 the ppl at risk from glacial outburst floods are in IN, PK, PE & CH. #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis aljazeera.com/news/2023/8/8/al

Perhaps these black students can take inspiration from the civil case in Boston where a black victim of an assault is suing the group who the thugs were part of. Black people have been treated like garbage for far too long, are now starting to really find their strength to hit back, not violently but with peaceful protest and civil action.

The latter will always take long but will win against violent hate.
