COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.
Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

Runbooks are now
- reproducible (context flows down, no global state)
- persistent (state survives restarts)
- executable anywhere (CI, remote machines, anything)
This is the first step towards making runbooks an actual automation primitive

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout
