Reminder that in #Gaza alone, around 90-95% of the water supply is contaminated and unfit for #human consumption...
If you dont believe #israel is capable of this evilness (that they've been enforcing for OVER 50 YEARS) read it for yourself, from AMNESTY #INTERNATIONAL
People often complain that morality is in decline, so 🇺🇸 scientists decided to investigate this phenomenon. They used archival and original data (n = 12,492,983). The results show that people in at least 60 countries believe that #morality is declining, and they have believed this for at least the last 70 years 😇 📉. In short, the idea of a decline in morality is widespread, persistent and unfounded.
The need to keep the #gas flowing and the #colonial dream alive outweigh the immediate need to #decarbonize and #decolonize our planet and work together to survive the mess we've made.
Scientists have previously already reported that #lockdowns are ineffective, harmful + alcohol consumption has increased during #COVID19. However, after studying the impact of the 111-day strict quarantine in Melbourne 🇦🇺 scientists found out who was responsible for the alcohol increase 🥴. Unexpectedly, I found out that it was the parents of young children! The diagram shows that fathers are the most prominent, but mothers are not far behind too:
almost none of the reasons why i support #abortion rights have anything to do with babies. really it’s more about the fact that I think the #government shouldn’t be able to force you to lend all your organs to #someone else and change irreparably in the process. is a fetus a #person? I don’t care! If it is a person, I don’t want anyone to be forced to host one against their will! If it isn’t a person, guess what? Nobody should be forced to host one against their will! What’s a soul? What’s a person? When does #life begin? IRRELEVANT! A #world in which the government can force anyone to manufacture an entirely new #human body at the cost of their own is not a world I want to live in!
Untangling the genetics that underlie our facial features.
@KnowableMag reports: "After turning up hundreds of genes with hard-to-predict effects, some scientists are now probing the grander developmental processes that shape face geometry."
Butkevych enlisted in the Ukrainian military following Russia's full-scale invasion and was captured in Luhansk Oblast in June 2022. Russian occupation authorities "sentenced" him to 13 years on trumped-up charges without any legal grounds, human rights groups said.
#Today, I am celebrating my 4 years without flying ✈️.
The #Earth’s #climate is perturbed by #human activites. One of the easiest things to do towards #sustainability is to cut air travels. Thus, 4 years ago, I cut my frequent flyer cards and decided to #StayGrounded, using only low-#carbon travel means such as #train.
Playing voice-call ping pong, but then I just turned up and we had a chat. So good to just meet people in the flesh and avoid all those electronic interface misconceptions.
"Conventionally the map is a tool which is used to locate oneself, to have certainty and proof, here the map is used to get lost…"
“These [tenderness] cards are originally an analogy between the kiss and the separation of the two banks of a river, a game between the distinction of two territories divided by a natural border and the union of the two by the presence of a valley fertile in love.
Then, from simple trompe-l’oeil comes the requirement to write a place in cartography. Each kiss presents a probable situation of human settlement depending on its geographical environment.
Finally, the utopographic appetite is what allows a real pictorial research around the pixel, the line, and the color…” #GIS#spatial#mapping#maps#cartography#illustration#emotions#art#tenderness#mapsasart#human#humaninteraction#humanconnection
The results are in from Tech Radar’s poll asking readers to vote on which of two photos featuring elephants was real or AI. The experiment left writer Timothy Coleman believing that there’s a place for AI tools, but our sacred human spaces and moments should be protected, too. https://flip.it/0KanYQ #Tech#Technology#AI#ArtificialIntelligence#Human
Author Sven Gins delves into the historical context of animal trials in #premodern#Europe, shedding light on their significance in the broader discourse of #legal#personhood, particularly relevant in today's global #animal#law discussions. 🐖 🐌 🐬
@echo_pbreyer the EU has turned into a downright Circus under the current leadership - there is a blatant disregard for the law, human and constitutional rights. There is a blatant disregard for the will of the people, corruption and the manipulative tactics being engaged, an absolute disgrace. #Chatkontrolle#Chatcontrol#masssurveillance#Constitutional#Human#Rights#digitalerhausfriedensbruch A wonderful moral compass for dictators and despots in other parts of the world.
Climate change is an immediate threat to the majority of the world's population.
We need a local, regional, state, national, and international "moon shot" type of concentration of effort using available resources while developing and advancing new science and technologies to counteract the damage humans have caused.
Without this type of all-out, universal cooperation, human civilization, and perhaps humanity itself, are in imminent danger of extinction.
"As #human#civilization continues to grow, our need for #sand will grow too. But that doesn't...mean that the way we exploit our #environment needs to grow..."
"We have to figure out ways to live our lives, and to build our #cities...where most people live, in ways that just consume less across the board...less of everything, and that is very much doable."
Not using Everything, Everywhere, All at Once may be the best #ClimateChange mitigation solution of all.
#Lithium is definitely not the answer, but only an interim option until we can find a better solution that doesn't cause the level of #environmental and #human damage of this rare material.
Could #zinc be a much better, and cheaper, way to achieve Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClimateChange mitigation?
