While dialysis is still not available in #Gaza , medical staff now report they don't have supplemental oxygen anymore so people who need it can just fucking choke to death.
Most moral army making sure the atrocities are as horrible as they can be.
There is only one party blocking fuel, food, medical supplies to Gaza. It's not complex.
In order to deal with #ClimateChange the Dutch government has opted to place giant pumps at the Afsluitdijk, which can displace 275 cubic meters (roughly 9700 cubic feet) per second.
The previous method was to wait for low enough tide and open locks.
The tide doesn't get low enough for long enough, due to a combination of higher sea level and there just being so fucking much water to discharge.
Meanwhile, in Portugal, the new ruling coalition proposed using military service as a sort of juvie, and the Portuguese military responded with with "No, fuck off." and "You have no respect for what we are."
Not fun to get told off by the military when you're trying to project a Tough Man image, but they "saved face" by claiming it was merely a thought experiment and they never intended to implement it for real.
@justafrog@melanie it takes a lot of inside to understand, how strongly the public cares about democracy.
Spain has a similarly young democracy and it's strongest safeguard is the Spanish crown ironically.
It's never good to combine criticism of Israel with nazi talking points about "The Jews".
Don't ever even try to defend it.
No matter how ugly Israel's actions get, it will never be okay to embrace literal nazi shit.
If you're sincerely against genocide, that includes being against the fucking nazis, who got over 20 million people killed, and were planning on many more.
@justafrog I’m at the same time deeply opposed to the atrocities being committed in Gaza, and deeply suspicious of people who vehemently criticize Israel’s action without taking any interest in other atrocities taking place around the world.
Unless we suddenly discover a way of sequestrating CO2 at scale which costs less energy than emitting it yields, the obvious solution to #ClimateChange is to emit less.
From an engineering standpoint, it's really not a complex problem.
What makes it complicated is that people make money off continuing emissions. That's like 99% of the complexity.
It's not that they want to transition off fossil fuels more carefully. It's that they want to not transition at all.
