Two Protesters Self-Immolate Over Bhopal Toxic Waste Plan in India
The plan to remove more than 370 tons of toxic waste from Bhopal and transport it to another city has been denounced as a "farce and greenwashing publicity stunt."julia-conley (Common Dreams)
Instead of self-immolating, these people should be taking a page out of Mangione's playbook.
Attack the people who are profiting off of suffering if you want the suffering to end.
They've had it too good for too long.
10 foot ui / htpc other than Kodi?
I'm looking for a sleek ui that'll support firefox, jellyfin, and steam. I would prefer not to use kodi.
I found this project I might try github.com/dudewheresmycode/Te…
Any suggestions?
sway or i3 compositor to launch various streaming sites in Chrome or Firefox in kiosk mode. Also Kodi and Steam. I have shortcuts for these mapped to function keys on a combo keyboard touchpad. Works well as support for streaming services in Kodi is not comprehensive

“In response to COVID-19, our CoC saw an influx of rapid rehousing and prevention resources, as well as an effective statewide eviction moratorium,” reported a suburban CoC in the northeastern part of the US. “These efforts were effective in keeping households from entering into homelessness and moving households out of homelessness quickly. Since the sunsetting of these resources and the ending of the eviction moratorium, our COC has seen a large influx of new families and individuals seeking emergency shelter assistance.”Indeed, Biden’s administration oversaw the rollback of COVID-19 social services and protections, including unemployment, additional public healthcare, and eviction moratoriums throughout the country. The administration also oversaw one of the largest increases in cost of living in recent history, which still plagues the people of the US.
they rolled back the solution and then blamed immigrants; the democrats didn't shift right, they're already rightists.

French and German ministers to meet Syria’s de facto leader
The foreign ministers of France and Germany are to meet Syria’s de facto leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, in Damascus in the highest-level visit by major western powers since rebels toppled the regime of President Bashar al-Assad last month.
Jean-Noël Barrot and Annalena Baerbock, who arrived separately in the Syrian capital on Friday, would hold talks with the head of the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) on behalf of the EU, their ministries said.

67 Killed in Stampedes at Christmas Food Drives in Nigeria as IMF-Induced Hunger Engulfed Millions More in 2024
67 people, including 35 children and 22 women, were trampled to death in three separate stampedes that ensued in Nigeria as desperate crowds struggled to get their hands on a bag or two of groceries being distributed at Christmas charity events.
“Never before have there been so many people in Nigeria without food,” the UN World Food Program (WFP) stated in November 2024, noting that 25 million needed aid. UN agencies warned this number will increase in 2025 to 33 million, including 16 million children.

After dozens died in stampedes, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu remarked, “We should just get on with it.” Tinubu’s IMF-prescribed policies have more than doubled food prices in the country, condemning millions more to hunger.Pavan Kulkarni (Peoples Dispatch)
Meanwhile in the EU alone over 59 million tonnes of food are wasted each year.
What a gruesome world we live in.
There is no excuse for starvation to be happening with so many resources and knowledge at our disposal.
We should be ashamed of ourselves as a species.

in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ • • •i wonder if these farmers could somehow borrow a page from the chinese playbook since they're in control of a natural resource like the chinese have with gallium.
i suppose then the government can force them off the land and they would need to advertise a nuclear option like salting or oiling their fields before something like that happens.
