RCP8.5 was in fact plausible (though high) when it was conceived, when China etc was developing primarily with coal and coal was the cheapest fuel. That changed, but now we’re building data centres with emissions as big as entire countries, so I wouldn’t be so confident

I'll give you a more serious answer. Airbnb has taken a massive reputation hit from people like you who ask the guests to clean up after themselves, which they wouldn't have to do at a hotel (Airbnb's competition). That's why they are enforcing this at the platform level. Duh.

Why does having a VPN that says I’m in Bogotá I) work for NSFW Twitter stuff and p*rn II) Still does NOT let me watch RT?
Normally I’d be against the destruction of history but these motherfuckers had a beer garden and a souvenir gift shop. Fuck em

Where should the borders be, Danny? Should the borders ever stop moving and expanding? If they expand is that any way to make them “secure”? Israel never answers these questions and neither will Fanny Dinklestein

Well sure that’s one opinion about armed struggle as a tactic but it does not address my question, which is about rights.

Teens are telling their therapists they don’t believe there will be a world left for them when they grow up My family therapist told me therapists are talking about this with each other because none of them know what to say I can’t stop thinking about that

Britain has an especially hyper-developed top-down bullying culture: that’s why our sitcoms are so full of snobs being cleverly mean to stupid people. It invites people in the middle to side with power, just for the apparently sexual thrill of behaving like a mean-spirited wanker

Odd when someone takes you to task over something quite specific like carbon reporting and how it bears on licensing decisions, and their posts are like 50% I Love Bolton Wanderers and the rest are about Big Brother

Lol oh god
One of these days, some prominent anti-Zionist activist is going to be the first person to do a “why I left the left” from the Palestinian rights movement, and that person is going to make a billion dollars.

What you are trying to say is that apartheid & ethnic cleansing will finally bring peace. Because, you see, no one accepts a "peace" in which Israelis can seize their land whenever they want to, which is what is happening today, and where they can't vote. I doubt this will work.

The best way to support Ukrainians is to encourage any people still in Ukraine to flee the country, by any means possible. Fewer Ukrainian men and boys available as fodder for Geran drones and FAB-500's means that Zelensky will be under increasing pressure to negotiate.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Another plea. Please donate and help alleviate this disgraceful situation where a genocidal government supported by our leaders and our taxes is once again seeking to induce hunger and famine in a population where 50% of people are children
Half a million Palestinians have been cut off from World Food Programme food assistance. Hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza are living without a meal, as famine knocks on the doors of markets whose shelves stand empty. But our team decided not to stand idly by while our people go hungry. We lit the fire, prepared food, and distributed it to displaced families exhausted by war and burdened by displacement, families who no longer know how they will provide food for their children, just like children everywhere else in the world deserve to have. We will keep trying for as long as we can. We will continue lighting the fires in our cooking pots and reaching out to those in need, because hunger cannot wait, and human dignity begins with the right to food.

Please share and donate for Belal and his family 🙏
💔😭 Today is Saturday, and my family has received ZERO donations. We still urgently need $200 to provide essential needs for 13 family members, including my little daughter. chuffed.org/project/206540-h… Please, don’t let us face these difficult circumstances alone. Even $5, $10, or $20 can make a difference. 🙏 Please stand with my family today. 💔 @fawnn404 @iskandrah @HorrorGorl @GoodVibePolitik @emocionycambio @ZionismExposedx @Srirachachau

Trying to get a policy or project off the ground in wales is getting intelligent backing from the CS, good interest from the private sector then a Labour AM in a safe won’t back it unless it unambiguously advantages them, and has 0 possible downsides however small
This is an utterly vacuous and damaging policy.
