Our Galaxy Could Be Falling Into a Colossal 'Basin of Attraction' That's as Old as Time

Prediction: after #Milton and many storms to follow it, we'll start to hear, "now is not the time to talk about climate change" the way we're currently getting "now is not the time to talk about gun safety" after every mass shooting.

Close All Big Cat Jails - secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/s… "Lions, tigers and other big cats are bred for trophy hunting, cub petting, volun-tourism, and trade...The South African government wants to ban the “lion jails” where almost 8,000 of these majestic creatures are exploited for profit." awful, needs lots of support to ban

Let’s stop pretending that we are going to live comfortably taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/1… The climate tipping point has arrived, or may already be in the past. The idea that the future might look anything like our past is absurd; massive change is now going to be demanded of us if human life on earth is to survive, and society with it. Can we make those changes? That is now the question.

@Cyclist perhaps a ban on advertising holidays overseas? The holiday industry is by definition of extremely limited benefit to the globe.

@Cyclist We made the decision a few years ago never again to fly for leisure. Not only does that make sense from a climate crisis perspective, it also significantly improves our chances of avoiding pandemic infections. Win-win!

09.10.2019, Halle: Ein Rechtsterrorist scheitert beim Versuch in der Synagoge einen antisemitischen Massenmord anzurichten. Anschließend erschießt er vor dem Gelände die 40-jährige Jana Lange und in einem nahegelegenen Döner-Imbiss den 20-jährigen Kevin Schwarze. #KeinVergessen

I’m terrified that Trump will win. This chart from the 2016 Brexit campaign shows what illegal spending and coordinated foreign interference can do to public opinion. And that was without Elon Musk’s control of the world’s most influential microblogging site.
Given that a Trump White House would ensure a Putin win in Ukraine, a huge Russian spend on the US election is far more cost-effective than the billions spent on the European battlefield.

This chart shows public opinion about the Brexit referendum in the UK in 2016. In the last month or so of campaigning, the Leave campaign massively and illegally overspent on advertising. There is also evidence of foreign campaigns of disinformation too. As a result opinion shifted (temporarily) by enough to produce a 52% vote to leave. Opinion quickly drifted back to Remain as soon as these campaigns stopped.

Kommentar zum VMware-Debakel: Setzt endlich auf offene Standards!

Fieberhaft suchen Unternehmen nach Alternativen zu vSphere und ESXi, weil sie Broadcoms Preise nicht zahlen wollen. Selbst Schuld, kommentiert Martin Loschwitz.

Hi yall, does the #fediverse have any recommendations for a good docking station?

Needs to support hdmi (2x), usb-c (3x), ethernet (1gb), and usb-a (1x).

I was thinking that the one below looks fine, but not sure if there's anything else I should consider?

I wish they were required to publish if the docking stations implements HDMI with USB-C alternate mode, or DisplayLink, which is absolute trash. Don't make me disassemble your product to find out!

Check out AliExpress

Amazon usually has the lower quality brands at significant markups when compared to Ali.

Ugreen, Baseus are usually my go-to, but there are other high quality brands too.

I bought two very large containers of #glitter yesterday from #michaels to make glitter grout. Or rather, to make the contractor make glitter grout. He's going to love me.

Abbey for scale.

Urgent: Northern Gaza is once again target of IDF merciless attacks and massive bombings.


#Netanyahu seems to have received the green light from #GenkcodeJoe and the Orange Hitler to declare northern Gaza a "special military zone" and forbid all Palestinians from EVER live, farm or even visit those areas

A majority of the food produced in Gaza came from the farms that Israel have destroyed, and 100s of thousands of Palestinians used to live there before the Israeli occupation started.

This criminal and outrageous act can't be tolerated. Please contact your politicians asking them to act to end this madness.

Save Gaza Now

vous pouvez toujours essayer de critiquer. Nintendo vacontinuer de vendre des palettes de Switch 1 et 2. ils font leur travail c'est normal. S'ils ont survécu 40 ans depuis la NES c'est pas pour rien. Contrairement a Sega et même maintenant Microsoft, pourtant nettement moins préoccupés par leur propriété intellectuelle. La qualité ça se paye.
