This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

A BBC interview being edited misleadingly? So heads roll? Fuck off.
Fox presents opinions as news, the U.S gov presents propaganda as news, the right-wing press sensationalises any story on its enemies and if ever caught in an error, all angrily deny it until forced to offer a quiet non-apology

You don't debate fascists
10

Spent a top afternoon in the local library in Stourbridge. What a rare pleasure to be surrounded by ideas and opinions and have many of them be well-written, well-researched, and here’s the fun bit, NOT SCREAMING AND WHINING AND TRYING TO USE AI TO MAKE UP FOR THEIR LACK OF LOVE
Warm and cosy, too!

My spicy hot take is if someone has run onto a train platform and there isn’t another train for ages, OPEN THE DOORS TO THE FUCKING TRAIN.
Keep ‘em open while the train is moving! Train doors only close when it leaves the station
I DON’T CARE WHO DIES I’M COLD AND MILDLY INCONVENIENCED

Fascinating that you’ve tagged in violence against women charities when among the things that have been forced to age gate or shut down as a result of the #OnlineSafetyAct are reddit support groups for sexual assault survivors.
Also… Brits don’t tend to say ‘parking lot’, who made this video?

Stranger Danger still applies online. That’s why we’ve implemented the Online Safety Act.

Negativity is bullshit. Not everything needs to be an all-or-nothing binary opinion. 'Dislikes' are a symptom of a disease YUCK.

The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.
Reform UK’s Lee Anderson wants to bring back the ‘invalid carriage’.
The Invacar was banned from English roads in 2003 over safety fears after some overturned and others caught fire.

I’m glad we could take your mind off it for a bit!
Well, after what turned out to be a pretty damn shitty (but not totally unexpected) day, meeting the great @robbotron.bsky.social at #TheDarkRoom in Southport improved things considerably!
And yes, I did indeed die.
But an honourable and entertaining death indeed.
Great fun :)

Man goes to the doctor, says his achievements are meaningless and lost in the sands of time.
Doctor says, “You should go see the ruined statue of Oxymandias, king of kings! Look upon his works, ye mighty, and despair!”
Man despairs, shaking sand out of his vast, trunkless legs, “But doctor...”

Making fun of extremists is just and good and most importantly, funny.
Their radicalisation is usually some version of feeling mocked or left out.
They’ll gussy it up sometimes, but mostly they weren’t invited to a party, or a pretty girl called them a loser once so now everyone else has to die.
