New Research Shows 1.5-Degree Goal Not Plausible: Decarbonization Progressing Too Slowly, Best Hope Lies in Ability of Society to Make Fundamental Changes

Just watched local ITV news. They had a doctor on who has spent the last 2 years happily minimising covid. Prompted by the presenter with 'Everyone seems to have flu at the moment' he launched into a full on immunity debt rant and said we should all focus on our mental health to strengthen our immune systems. What the hell is wrong with these people?
It must be paid for. It must be deliberate. It must be coordinated.

For thousands of years, fermenting beer was considered a household task for #women.

By the Middle Ages, some sold beer at English markets. Female brewers wore tall, pointy hats to be easily spotted. They stood by cauldrons & often had cats to keep mice away.

Sound familiar? It should.

You see, when male brewers felt threatened, they accused the women of witchcraft. These rumors may have led to some witch iconography we still recognize today.

Do you want a fucking medal? Because in the meantime, I'm trying to give actionable advice to people in vulnerable situations trying to live their lives.

Some of you are still trying to debate fascists when they literally want us dead.

My existence is NOT up for debate.

A randomized control trial to determine whether parachutes prevent death when jumping from aircraft.

Don't understand clinical trials and all that other statistical/epidemiological stuff? This will help.

Nice thing about Mastodon: It's one of the extremely rare web pages I visit where my ad blocker doesn't need to do anything.
has anyone suggested to Musk that he could make a fortune on a gigantic seaplane made out of, say, spruce
