If you're annoyed about the bad essays in the NY Times and Washington Post about reaching a global population of 8,000,000,000, read this one instead.

"8,000,000,000" - #Climate #Water

8,000,000,000

According to the UN, the world’s population of humans reached eight billion today. When America was founded, the world’s population was under 800 million. In 1900, it was only 1.6

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.

In my view, the outcome of this climate conference is a failure we cannot afford. The text is full of loopholes, weak language and creative formulations few put into action at home. Urgency just on paper. The great breakthrough of establishing a loss and damages fund is rightfully celebrated. But: it is for now 'only' setting up mechanisms for coming up with rules to be implemented later. The whole is not paired with increased action to also limit the damage.

Lesson 2: Tusky *does* filter even my posts out on the home timeline. Interesting.

Lesson 1: It doesn't filter out *my* posts. 😅

I'm seeing how my home timeline changes by filtering references to "Trump", "TFG", "Elon", "Musk", "Twitter", and "birdsite" for a day. Could be a manageable stream again! 😏

Also, here's some useful fedi info, #Feditip
Swap https://nitter.net/ for twitter.com and you can get the basic same content! So if you really really want to embed something interesting, you can do it!

e.g. that MosquitoCapital twitter thread.

https://nitter.net/MosquitoCapital/status/1593541177965678592

Also an easier way to read Twitter content without it forcing you to login, etc.
