On this day, 30th August 1986: we knew burning #FossilFuels was causing the greenhouse effect and contributing to #SeaLevelRise. We were told so by the South Australian Environment Minister Don Hopgood. One metre sea level rise was predicted for before 2050. What did we do?
Not much. and then the Fossil Fuel companies ramped up denial and delay strategies

Yuli Novak, the executive director of B’Tselem, told the UN Security Council that Israel has destroyed “a vast part” of Gaza's homes and infrastructure, displacing millions in the process.

“Israel is laying the groundwork for long-term control of Gaza that could lead to re-establishing Israeli settlements,” she said. “This goes beyond revenge. Israel is using the opportunity to promote an ideological agenda, making Gaza inhabitable.”

Always fun to see news stories about spies. Very retro. Do spies actually still exist? Seems a bit pointless. Or seems like one of those things dictatorships accuse dissidents of so they can disappear them. We had two actual and extremely obvious Russian agents/assassins in the UK and they somehow (at least initially) got away with doing a TV interview claiming they were tourists who just fucking love cathedrals. One of the madder things to happen in the UK.

Ministers introduce plans to remove all hereditary peers theguardian.com/politics/artic…

About time too.

‘The only country besides the UK with a hereditary element in its legislature is Lesotho, according to the University College London Constitution Unit.’

…and the only other country with religious leaders having rights to be part of the legislating body is Iran.



À#SciencesPo, au nom du dialogue, on brime la liberté d'expression. « L'entrée en application d’un nouveau règlement de la vie étudiante pourrait créer des remous. Adopté en juillet lors de la dernière réunion du conseil de la vie étudiante, le texte a fait débat entre ses membres. Il introduit notamment la notion d’« atteinte à la réputation » de l’établissement et impose que tout tract ou toute affiche mentionne la signature d’au moins un étudiant identifiable. »

#IsraelWarCrimes

Israel has escalated the use of small drones to drop bombs on Gaza. These drones have killed hundreds and injured thousands.

For Palestinians in Gaza, the constant presence of these drones is a form of psychological torture, severely impacting their mental health.

Israeli quadcopters are employing a "bizarre" new tactic of playing audio recordings of crying infants and women in order to lure Palestinians to locations where they can be targeted.

cnil.fr en panne. Soit célérusses (il y a pas mal d'attaques contre les sites Web publics cette semaine), soit c'est @aeris qui est fâché.


J'ai perdu mon ancienne mutuelle d'entreprise pour la complémentaire standard pour les journalistes à la pige. C'est comme passer de la première classe à la classe éco en avion. J'appelle le service client car la télétransmission n'a toujours pas été établie au bout de deux mois: "Il faut envoyer l'attestation sécu, vous n'avez pas compris". J'ai failli hurler que c'était peut-être leurs explications qui n'étaient pas satisfaisantes. La pige, cette école de la patience.
