Why is this something anyone even considered doing?
Environmental groups have won a landmark case against a project to drill for offshore gas in Italy's Po Delta, a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve.
The 500 km2 wetlands located around an hour south of Venice are some of the largest and richest in the Mediterranean. www.euronews.com/green/2024/1...

Italy’s UNESCO-designated Po Delta saved from offshore gas drilling
Offshoring drilling threatened to submerge parts of the delta, which is already bracing against a barrage of problematic, climate change-induced conditions.

chopped veggies + 2 or 3 tablespoons of white miso + 2 tablespoons of fermented soybeans in chili oil in a container = easy packed lunch. Pour water from the kettle and you have a perfect soup

We make scooter riders take a picture of the scooter to prove it’s parked legally. Can you imagine if we did that to cars?

I am listening to Red Heat, by @alexvont.bsky.social, and I am shocked by how shitty people the male protagonists of political events in Latin America and the Caribbean were in the cold war. And the idea of how bad Che Guevara must have smelt is chasing me in nightmares

This is exactly my position. Licensed displays only. No bloody idiots setting them off in the street or back garden, sometimes in the small hours, terrifying animals and people, causing injuries or damage that are totally avoidable
I like fireworks but they shouldn't be sold to the general public. Obviously some twat's going to lob one at a paramedic. Garden fireworks are always shit anyway. Go and give the rotary club a fiver and watch a good display in a field with a candyfloss machine and a tombola.

Some good news - Latvia REMAINS a party to the Istanbul Convention. For now. Facing unprecedented civil society mobilisation, and after the president refused to sign the withdrawal law, the parliament voted to postpone the decision on the Istanbul Convention until after the October 2026 elections.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
