"Yesterday, we told the CEO of to 'eat shit.' We didn't do so lightly. makes $20 million a year as his already leviathan oil company increases production quarter on quarter, robbing the world of countless lives and ecosystems. He just got back from where he touted decreasing industry emissions as a solution — as though it isn't his literal product keeping choking and burning our world.
's company actually produced one of the first scientific reports (in 1977) showing that their own product would lead to apocalyptic levels of heating — and they buried it.
And he was literally about to be handed an award from an elite society of scientists and businessmen when we got on stage and told him what we think of him. We shut down the whole event, the whole room fled, and we held the stage so long that they turned out the lights. No awards were awarded.
Yeah, people like Darren are the scum of the Earth and we aren't afraid to say so. It's 2023. People like Darren should be sitting in instead of getting awards."

"#French riots show how entrenched #inequalities have become. The gulf between #immigrants and those born in the country is larger than in almost any other developed nation.
Imagine two countries. The first is proudly Christian, it allowed racial #segregation in living memory and #racism is mentioned more frequently in its media than anywhere else in the developed world. The second is strictly secular and legally prohibits the collection of #data on people’s race, a conscious effort by its leaders to avoid using #ethnicity to differentiate or divide.
Which do you think would offer people from diverse #racial and religious backgrounds the best prospects of success? Of becoming equal participants in society? The answers revealed in the data are surprising."
10 charts showing greater inequalities in #France compared to #UK, #Germany and sometimes #US.
Depicted chart : "Black and brown people are disproportionately likely to be stopped by police across the west, but the disparities are truly huge in France."
Chance of being stopped and searched by #police, relative to #white people in #London is ×2 or ×3 for #black people, compared to ×6 in #Paris and even more than ×7 for #arabs.

And really the sheer absurdity of European Sleeper

Here are two determined guys. They lease a freight locomotive, 2 ancient sleeping cars (at least with air con), 6 couchettes without air con (also old) and 2 seating carriages

And they manage to run a Berlin-Brussels night train, something that others - like DB, NS or SNCB - could much more easily do with their financial means BUT REFUSE TO EVEN TRY

And basic though it is it’s booked up all summer
