I hate when extremely coordinated people randomly fall out of the window after criticizing their tyrannical governments.
BREAKING: The famous Russian ballet dancer, Putin-critic and opponent of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Shklyarov, has died at the age of 39. He fell out from a window of his fifth-floor apartment in St. Petersburg.

Paul Mescal was asked how “wild” it felt meeting King Charles at the Gladiator 2 premiere. "I'm Irish, so it's not on the list of priorities"

What makes anyone think 2°C and rising by 2029-2048 is survivable?
17 Nov 2024
Replying to @ClimateBen
Saying that 2degrees in unsurvivable is the kind of cheap, plain false narrative we don’t need in a scientific discussion.

They are protesting a bill that seeks to reinterpret the country's founding treaty with Māori people and will result in less protection and rights for them.
Idk what’s going on in New Zealand but she ate this. Tearing the paper, the room erupting in Haka. Non-Māori shitting themselves. Iconic 🙂‍↕️

“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” - Twain You see what the @nytimes did here. They didn’t fix their story & republish it with the truth. They just removed the video. They didn’t counter the lie. How many people will see this?

The most telling reality regarding the recent events in Amsterdam is that not one member of the Dutch power elite - neither its monarch, nor its prime minister, nor its government or any of its ministers, nor any party leader, nor the mayor of Amsterdam, nor its police chief, nor any of its leading journalists or commentators or public figures or civic institutions - has uttered a single word in support of a single Dutch citizen assaulted by foreign mobs on Dutch soil. Rather, like other Western leaders, this elite has uniformly reserved its solidarity for the racist, genocidal Israeli thugs who rampaged through Amsterdam, physically assaulting Dutch citizens and vandalizing Dutch property, on the sole basis that they assumed these citizens and properties to be Arab or in sympathy with the Palestinian people. The self-proclaimed guardians of The Netherlands and the security of its people then added insult to injury by comparing the resulting attacks against the visiting fascist thugs to the darkest days of Dutch history, entirely oblivious to the reality that it is in fact they who have collectively legitimized the closest thing to a pogrom witnessed on Dutch soil since 1945. Welcome to twenty-first century Europe, and to The Netherlands in particular.

We’re facing the biggest threat humanity has ever faced, one that will cause war and suffering across the world on an unprecedented scale - and the media is acting like it’s not happening. Read those words again.

Just today ALONE, Israel has killed 10 paramedics in Lebanon. And in just 40 days, Israel has murdered over 200 Lebanese paramedics. This should be front-page news everywhere. But where is mainstream media? Still crying about violent Israeli football hooligans in Amsterdam.

What a REAL pogrom looks like:
🚨BREAKING: Israeli settler terrorists attacked the village of Yasouf in Salfit, West Bank, throwing stones at homes, terrorizing women and children, and damaging everything in sight. They roamed the streets, searching for any Palestinian to attack, resulting in the injury of a Palestinian woman who was taken to the hospital. The Israeli army arrived but did nothing; instead, they fired tear gas canisters at Palestinian homes.

Dr James Hansen, Nov 2023: global warming of 2°C will be reached by the late 2030s, i.e., within about 15 years
4 Jul 2020
Did you know that over 90% of climate scientists think global warming will be so severe by 2038 or so that we'll hit temperatures shown to be hot enough to wreck the basic crops humanity relies upon for decent survival, or do you get your information from ad-dependent newspapers?
