Is there truly any way to avoid WCS? The most effective actions are also the most extreme, and therefore the least likely to happen in time, if at all. Science's message is what will happen in the future. We need to shift focus to what MUST be done NOW. This needs more urgency!
No one's doing more to get the message out about just how bad #ClimateChange is going to become in the very near future than climate scientists. Having said that, climate scientists are not even coming close to giving this emergency the urgency it needs. nitter.gq/ClerkinMark/status/195โ€ฆ

In HBO's doc The Slightest Touch, Colin Farrell pushes his friend Emma Fogarty's wheelchair the last 4 km of the Dublin Marathon. One kilometer for each decade she's lived with EB, a condition that tears her skin at the slightest touch. Life is an RPG. You don't get through anything alone. nitter.gq/hbomax/status/21154896โ€ฆ
A celebration of friendship, community, and extraordinary strength. As Emma Fogarty turns 40, she and longtime friend Colin Farrell take on the Dublin Marathon together. #TheSlightestTouch premieres November 25 on HBO Max.

If bots are an indication of the advancement of AI, I don't think we have anything to worry about... for now at least. I sometimes report replies & follows as Spam for fake engagement, but I wonder if reporting is the mechanism used to measure their assimilation success rate. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Hey @cineworld Dublin, it's lovely to see you showing 9 to 5, but why are you missing @DollyParton from the list of cast members?

Very weird he acknowledges we are on course to โ€˜game overโ€™ but not that WE are doing it with overconsumption and fossil fuels
Extremely severe extinction events happen every 100M years or so and just switching to sustainable energy will not be enough to stop them. Space satellites to control temperature and massive geo-engineering will be needed or it will be game over. grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5_dfaaโ€ฆ

How did we get here? The world is overrun by the bully mentality. Greedy, self-centred people lie and charm their way into leadership roles in business & govt. and design systems to funnel wealth upwards with no regard for anyone else, let alone the natural world. Or our future.

People have different personality types, but we all tend to think we're right. Personalities are like different species\breeds of the same animal. Arguing with someone who expresses a different opinion to yours is like a terrier trying to convince a poodle it should be a terrier.

My point here is that social media is full of people arguing with each other. We spend too much time doing just that and it is exhausting and very bad for our mental health. I don't get involved because it is basically pointless. I hope this thought experiment is helpful to some.

This is pretty ingenious!
I haven't been on here much since New Year's; here's why. 1. I've started looking after myself better, physically and mentally. The deaths of people my own age from school recently scared me. I partied hard when I was younger and didn't do a good job of looking after myself.

I'm looking for a part time, paid gig. I can make unique, hand-crafted models, scan them to 3d (high poly or lower), give them a basic rig. If you want to make a game with my unorthodox, IGF/ Indie Game Awards nominated art, let me know.

Just been to see #MichaelMovie @michaelmovie in #IMAX and it was fantastic. @JaafarJackson was really the only choice to portray his uncle Mike. He did it with positivity, tenderness and respect. Juliano, Nia and Colman were also superb. #Michael #SeeYouNextWednesday #Thriller

๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŒŽItโ€™s #EarthDay The truth is the future is not what most people think it is. ๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŒŽ 2024 is the hottest year ever recorded by humans on Earth, hotter than in over 100,000 years. ๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŒŽ Carbon dioxide levels are higher than in millions of years. ๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŒŽ Extreme weather events are increasing. This is not a left or right issue. It affects us all. We are all in danger. All life on Earth is under major threat and radical action is needed which will only happen if people demand it. Donโ€™t take my word for it. Listen to Sir David Attenborough. Watch his Netflix documentary BREAKING BOUNDARIES. Spread the word. youtu.be/2Jq23mSDh9U?si=hLsWโ€ฆ
