What is happening now in France is one of the most insane climate event ever! 😲😱
It's a heatwave... in May! 🥵
36-37°C could be reached several days in a row...
34°C in Brittany.
It's 15°C ABOVE NORMAL
We are still in f**** spring!
Parts of Spain/Portugal will approach 40°C next week, and we are still only in MAY. This is not “just summer arriving early”. Europe is heating faster than almost any continent on Earth. European agriculture, ecosystems & infrastructure were not built for these extended extremes.
Almost unbelievable forecast from tonight’s European model it has trended hotter. We see 32C/90F daily between this Sunday and next Tuesday in London area.
Hard to believe we just experienced coolest mid May period in 15 years and now we look to see a historic heatwave. The change is violent.
Richard Seymour (@leninology) on Patreon: '...Matthew Goodwin, the failed Reform candidate who recently co-authored a book with ChatGPT...' Amazing❤️🔥
If you want to get a sense of Wes Streeting, one of the slimeballs angling to become Britain’s next Prime Minister, then look no further than this podcast episode.
The Daily Mirror, 1978, the first year Britain got a bank holiday to mark ‘May Day’.
Marx’s grave was defaced. Shopkeepers vowed to stay open in defiance of an “un-British” or “communist” holiday. Conservative clubs flew flags at half mast… 🤭
@novaramedia@AyoCaesar Makes me think of this from Mike Davis: "Steal milk when your kids have none and then give half to the little kids next door—what my own mother did repeatedly in 1936". Maybe not all shoplifting lacks collectivity.
If you've any cash to spare, some good people in Newcastle are trying to get a radical bookshop off the ground - we haven't had one since the 80s, which is nuts for a city of this size. They've got four days left to make their target, give them a tenner https://t.co/RciEhnExIr
Got this by @adubwoods in the post today from @VersoBooks, so set off for the school run early to make time to sit in the park and get stuck in. Good start to the weekend...
Newcastle has a long and proud history of resistance, solidarity, and political struggle. But there hasn’t been a radical bookshop here since the 80s.
Books from Below are fundraising to open a new radical bookshop and community space in Newcastle UK!
