two bottoms sexting:
‘it turns me off you’re not mean’
‘sorry…’ ‘exactly.’Is the sapiens guy Yuval Harari a zionist?
This whole article is proof of the failure of settler-leftism. This guy, as critical as he has been of Israel’s fascism in the past, is now practically indistinguishable from a fascist.
In case you needed it to start your week, here’s an IOF tank getting blown up.
I had to watch it a few times to figure out where I needed to be looking. I couldn’t locate the little red arrow.
I’m active on a number of local
communities, some of which are mostly English-language, and some of which aren’t. Demographically though, it’s pretty much the same people.
In the English subs the amount of Zionist glowposting is maybe twenty times higher. It’s staggering.
All because Israel’s troll farms and bots don’t speak my language.
The IDF doesn’t even speak Arabic well.
Makes my week every week seeing your pup
A puppy that even manages a tail wag in a still photo.
She often wags her tail so hard that she hits herself in the face with it.
Aww haha that’s what I like to hear.

Surely climate change must be happening much faster than we think. The last few years have seen much more extreme weather. Over here it’s been raining non stop for days now and parts of the country are again flooded.
Absolument. I did a deeper dive of US “emissions” here: https://hexbear.net/comment/4246041
In short, the US significantly under reports their emissions from natural gas because they don’t sufficiently consider the short-term impact of methane or the degree of methane leakage occuring.
Even the best climate scientists have been underestimating feedback, which is amplifying and accelerating the effects. A ton of models are linear when reality is exponential. We’re finally in 2023 seeing more climate scientists admit that they’ve been far too conservative/optimistic.
My region is experiencing a lot of problems this year. We had no rain in summer so we had really low water levels at the dams that supply water for farming thus water will be limited and thus yields will be lower, our entire economy revolves around farming so this hurts everyone. Also some tropical storms hit us during planting season, which hurts planted crops and delays yet-to-plant fields
Avant, pendant et après moi, le déluge.
Yes it is. Much much faster.
There are several reasons, among which (the list is not exhaustive):
- Many positive (and negative, but the overwhelming effect is definitely positive) feedback processes are known to exist, but cannot be quantified. If they cannot be quantified, they are not taken into account into the models, only as vague “climate tripwires” with no certainty of when the trigger will be pushed or in some cases if it has or hasn’t already. Some of those have the potential to rival human emissions in scale if we do trigger them.
- Many other similar feedback processes likely exist but we are not even aware of them.
- The source of governmental decisions is the IPCC; when an IPCC report is published, the research it uses is already years, sometime more than a decade, out of date (this makes sense but it does mean there is a lag between current reality and decision-making).
- The IPCC report itself, once actual scientists have finished writing it, is then provided to political actors (the US, the UAE, etc.) in order to reword or rewrite parts of it they deem incompatible with their strategic objectives. There was a leak of the politically-unedited IPCC report about two years back, and the wording was very different.
- Many scientists self censor, consciously or not, because they’ll usually end up being called “alarmists”. This, among other things, results in the models the IPCC designs and uses being highly optimistic.
As a sidenote, and only somewhat related to your initial question: for a few years now, all IPCC trajectories that do not end up in widespread societal collapse and potentially human extinction rely on imaginary technologies.
An equivalent of the population of Soweto/Frankfurt from a city the size of Stockholm has been displaced and the body count in 40 days is triple the annual homicides in the Gauteng Province despite being 1/7th the size.
More tragedy. It’s every day 😔
Is it the hail storms or something else?
Losing old friends over their support for genocide Joe. Worst thing about it is that they’re not even American. Stupid fuckers.
First o7 Have a good week comrades
This recent Letter to America discourse is so fucked. I completely abhor the idea of news stories and documents being censored and purged but also, I’m not going to praise Bin Laden. Guy was still a monster.
I swear the only reason Americans care at all is because Bin Laden was on TV for years (either him or people talking about him) and in America, TV man = serious opinion. It’s ironic blowback from trying to portray bid laden as the “King of All Terrorism” a decade ago.
It really tells how uninformed the average american is.
Something something you have not in fact gotta hand it to him
Yeah I’m actually starting to buy the whole “Psyop” thing. It’s just too coincidental
Abu U-bae-dah 😍
