Hell March intensifies
How is Andrew Twat able to say anything? I thought he was in jail, no?
Disruptive protests help activists causes:
I quite liked the Del Toro one, tbh. Really no need to reboot it again.
If you use the word ‘hubby’ to refer to your husband I’m assuming you’re:
Probably the computers fault.
If anyone needs a reminder that everything isn’t as awful as the media might lead you to believe, here are some sites to help you with that:
The Ocean Cleanup!

15,000,000 kg of trash removed from oceans and rivers worldwide so far!
Kudos for the layout formatting 👍
Shouldn’t it be the other way around, particularly for solar? Easy to set up, cheaper, flexible to scale, and the more decentralized setup might even help with poor electricity grid, since you can just set them up whereever needed and even have them work insular without connection the the network.
Yeah, I would’ve thought that to, but according to the following report apparently not: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/07/renewables-are-the-key-to-green-secure-affordable-energy/
But in developing countries, lack of access to finance under reasonable terms makes the costly upfront investments in renewable energy unaffordable. In addition, macroeconomic and political uncertainties discourage private sector investors from supporting renewable energy.
It’s interesting. If you look at the IEA report here: https://origin.iea.org/reports/world-energy-outlook-2023/executive-summary
Gas, oil and coal demand is reducing globally; however global investment in fossil fuels is increasing, albeit at a far lower rate than renewables. I suspect this is driven by third world countries, where the initial cost can put off investment in renewable infrastructure; however this is also something that is being looked at: https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/iea-working-cut-renewable-energy-costs-developing-world-2023-12-22/
Also this report suggests that energy production from coal, gas, oil, hydro and nuclear have starting to plateau from 2021, with solar still showing an marginal increase alongside wind, bio energy and ‘other’: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/electricity-prod-source-stacked
Looks a bit like a Turner painting. I like it!
You’re bang on. Bad news is addictive and people on Lemmy etc are hooked: https://www.ramsaymentalhealth.com.au/en/resources-support/addicted-to-bad-news/
You only have to look at how people dog pile any positive news as being ‘out of touch’ or ‘ignorant’ to see how bad things have got. Hardly surprising, if all you’re seeing online is bad news that’s all you can imagine happening. Issue is ‘news’ sites prioritise bad news because it generates more engagement and so the cycle continues: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-023-01538-4
That’s why it’s more important than ever to highlight the good news: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/

Love the soft gold lighting.
Yeah, likewise. There’s a shot of the mangled, rotting fish corpse on the sand surrounded in flies and people are just prodding it. Putting aside how bad it must smell, why the fuck would you want to touch it at all?!
