Pretty scary stuff, the damage to the rain forests would also be significant I guess. If the ice is fresh water than mixed with seawater, the would the salinity also change too ?

Sounds like this is a story that needs telling so we can at some point hold Meta accountable.

Over the next two weeks, I'll be publishing a series of four (well, 4.5) posts about Meta's role in the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar.

Part I is up now, along with a little meta-post with notes on terminology and sources and ct.

These posts are aimed squarely at people like me and my tech-world peers—people who work on and care about social technologies.

"More than 60,000 protesters gathered in the Swiss capital #Bern on Saturday demanding tougher policies to combat #ClimateChange, organisers said, less than a month ahead of a national election.

Such large protests are rare in #Switzerland and show growing public frustration with the pace of policy-making to combat #GlobalWarming despite ample evidence of its impact."

@Perspective @APBBlue
I will check out a laptop we have at code club it does seem to be overheating so thanks for this extra thing to check.

@zleap well she’s not 90 and she hasn’t even blocked appointing one federal judge so, no

Also, she has no experience for anything except getting attention

@Hawkmoon @flexghost

Well it seems to make people want more, I can't see her being in this for the average American she would meant to represent, she is in it for herself,

@benda @flexghost

So basically any idiot can apply and end up making important decisions without understanding the consequences.

@zleap @flexghost the position provides you with training on how to take bribes and green light every and all requests from the cia.

No.

Even if this is clickbait, no.

Not in a box.
Not with a fox.
Not in a house.
Not with a mouse.

No.

Say what you will, but what is really the most optimistic thing about TNG, more so than the poverty-less and money-less utopia, is when somebody goes to the captain and says "this weird, unbelievable thing happened to me" and they believe them.

Reg says he sees a creature in the transporter beam and rather than saying "Reg, you well-known anxiety haver, you're imagining things!", they take the transporter apart, twice, to find out.

Beverly says she hears voices at night and has an overwhelming sense of deja-vu, and the captain doesn't say, "my, what an overactive imagination you have! Sleep more and do yoga!", he instructs the crew to sweep the entire ship with sensors, from top to bottom and starboard to port, until they've figured it out.

THAT is a world I'd like to live in.
