I think it's cool that during the increasingly regular "freak weather event" that killed nearly as many people as 9/11 the UK media decided we must have a nationwide debate about whether we should actually scrap any moves as a country towards net zero
Also, the unspoken part of "they were polite" is always the "to me" bit.
You don't have to look far for people she wasn't polite to, and was in fact completely filled with prejudicial hatred for, which she got to enact and endorse as a legislator and public commentator.
‘How can a post on X affect a trial? Stop silencing me!’
Post goes viral. Others say the same. Those posts also go viral. Jury is exposed to those posts. Defence argues that jury has been exposed to material that will prejudice their decision. Case collapses. Well done. The end.
@salaam_alaik@Y2SHAF Tell you what, you live without food for a month and I'll live without AI for a month and then we'll reconvene and see if one of those might be a better use of water than the other.

France has ordered 30,000 air conditioners for their hospitals to protect patients during heatwaves.
Meanwhile, the UK government told the NHS that AC should "only be used in essential areas" due to costs.

Is this a bad time to bring up the fact that there’s a high chance your government won’t move to do anything about this ‘cause the religious nutcases in power think this is a sign of Biblical end times, thus are willing to just take it
@Kalshi Next week europe is going to be 40+°C again and crops are already struggling after the last heatwave.
