Take rainfall, for example. Generally, extreme rainfall is intensifying at a rate of 7 percent with each degree Celsius of atmospheric warming. But recent studies indicate that so-called record-shattering events are increasing at double that rate.

Or even triple that rate (21%/degC): sciencedirect.com/science/arti

Latest fuckery from Downing Street is a mandatory Britcard. Worse than a sodding passport and as akin to a wartime ID for oppressed peoples.

If all the rich people are really going to leave if we raise taxes then let's raise taxes nationally and maybe they'll leave the country.

#Kneecap displayed a message stating: “#Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people,” and the words “Fuck Israel. Free Palestine”. Mo Chara, one of the group’s members, told the audience: “The #Palestinians have nowhere to go. It’s their fucking home and they’re bombing them from the skies. If you’re not calling it a genocide, what the fuck are you calling it?”
Within a week, Kneecap’s US booking agent had dropped them, Fox #News had likened the statements to “#Nazi #Germany”, a handful of summer shows had been cancelled.

And the “dead Tory” comments? “Why should I regret it? It was a joke – we’re playing characters, it’s satirical, it’s a fucking joke. “The point is, that [video] wasn’t an issue until we said ‘Free Palestine’ at Coachella. That stuff happened 18 months ago, and nobody batted an eyelid. Everybody agreed it was a fucking joke, even people that may have been in the room that didn’t agree – it’s a laugh, we’re all having a bit of craic. The point is, and the context is, it all [resurfaced] because of Coachella. That’s what we should be questioning, not whether I regret things.”
“The genocide in #Palestine is a big reason we’re getting such big crowds at our gigs, because we are willing to put that message out there,” says Ó hAnnaidh.

Plastic dinosaurs are real dinosaurs

It's the "I bet he's thinking about other girls meme" with the couple in bed and the woman is looking annoyed while the guy is thinking "plastic dinosaurs are real dinosaurs" and his thought bubble is a graphic showing how dinosaurs turn into dinosaur bones, which turn into fossil fuel, which turns into petroleum, which turns into polypropylene plastic, which turns into plastic dinosaurs.

“Palestine Action is not an armed group. It has never been responsible for any fatalities and does not pose any risk to the public. Its methods do involve property sabotage, which is, obviously, illegal. But if killing 23 civilians at an aid distribution site is not terrorism, how can we possibly be expected to accept that spray-painting a plane is? Law-abiding protest has so far failed to stop the genocide. More than 50,000 innocent children have been killed or injured. In what circumstances could civil disobedience ever be justified if not now?
I can only say that I admire and support Palestine Action wholeheartedly – and I will continue to, whether that becomes a terrorist offence or not.”

International bestselling author Sally Rooney warns UK home office's targeting of Palestine Action is an attack on free speech.

Oxfam has found that billionaires pay effective tax rates close to 0.3% of their wealth.

UK billionaires’ wealth increased by £35m a day in 2024.

The world is now on track to see five trillionaires within a decade.

Tax. The. Rich.

The Guardian. Billionaires’ wealth surged $6.5tn over past decade, Oxfam reports. Real-terms gains of $33.9tn for world’s richest 1% ‘enough to end annual global poverty 22 times over’, charity says.

I only flew once in my life to Dublin and back and that's all within Europe so minimal checks

If I where to travel to a country where they would take my phone and demand my password I think I'm refusing

"Give your password if you don't have anything to hide" is just plain bullshit

Everyone has stuff to hide, even if it's a password or private note

We should not accept this authoritarian bullshit

Facts.

Scene from a pride parade. A group of white men are holding homophobic signs taking scripture completely out of context. A woman with rainbox headgear, socks and skirt is holding a sign with an arrow pointing at them, and it says "Statistically more like to be a sex predator more than anyone here"

"Gaza doesn't interest anyone anymore...It's become a place with its own set of rules. The loss of human life means nothing. It's not even an 'unfortunate incident,' like they used to say." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

"It's a killing field," one soldier said. "Where I was stationed, between one and five people were killed every day. They're treated like a hostile force – no crowd-control measures, no tear gas – just live fire with everything imaginable: heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, mortars. Then, once the center opens, the shooting stops, and they know they can approach. Our form of communication is gunfire."
The soldier added, "We open fire early in the morning if someone tries to get in line from a few hundred meters away, and sometimes we just charge at them from close range. But there's no danger to the forces." According to him, "I'm not aware of a single instance of return fire. There's no enemy, no weapons." He also said the activity in his area of service is referred to as Operation Salted Fish – the name of the Israeli version of the children's game "Red light, green light".
