The Mallorca rule applies here too: if you can't function outside of Bödefeld-Schmallenberg, just stay in fucking Bödefeld-Schmallenberg. Not like the rest of the world is jonesing for a visit from some of the least fun people on the planet.

[COMMENTARY]

A recent proposal by the Swedish government encourages fertilization with nitrogen to speed up tree growth, which may work in the short term but eventually fails and is leached into waterways, altering ecosystems.

Why Sweden’s forest policy matters to the world (commentary)
The deep, dark forests of northern Europe supplied people with wood, timber and food for millennia. They gave rise to myths, legends and fairy tales, and offered refuge to the persecuted. Over time,…

This is criminal, or should be. It’s definitely immoral. Burning old growth trees for energy should be banned. Biomass is not carbon neutral and it makes nasty air pollution.
Claims of felling 250 year-old trees + shipping them thousands of miles to burn in a power station, releasing fine particulate pollution linked to breathing + heart conditions.

Perhaps, instead of subsidising this, our tax money could go to treating people with those conditions?

🧵 1/2
Official data from government of British Columbia, along with satellite monitoring, backs claims that a Canadian subsidiary owned by Drax sourced 250-year-old trees to manufacture biomass pellets as recently as this year

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

You decide…

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.
COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

Aber was soll man auch von einer beobachtenden Klasse (und es geht nicht speziell um die Zeit) erwarten, für die immer alles nur „Kommunikation“ ist, immer nur Ansprache, immer nur Haltung, die keine Strukturen kennt, keine Institutionen, keine Temperaturen und Keime, nicht mal Kriege so wirklich.

Bisher wurde er nicht gebraucht.
Jetzt soll er in den KTF verschoben werden. Und künftig dürfte hier Geld fließen müssen, das stellen Verkehrs- und Baumministerium auf SZ-Anfrage in Aussicht.
Sprich: Geld, das für Klimaschutz gedacht ist, fließt dann in Strafen für zu wenig Klimaschutz.
