Trump to impose devastating 100% secondary tariffs on Russia within 50 days

Countries like China and India will have to pay 100% tariffs to the US if they buy Russian oil or gas

[Melian Refugee @escapefrommelos]

bars no longer work for meeting hot people

the “run-club”/bouldering/rock climbing crazes are long-winded, plausibly deniable ways to be able to meet and socialize in spaces that impose a semi-overt exclusion on fat people—these are "safe spaces" in 50%+ obesity rate societies

$NXE 🇨🇦 Q4 2023 Conference Call

Leigh: "Lenders are very comfortable with volume-based contracts tied to spot prices."

Travis: "The amounts required will obviously be relatively immaterial. A very small percentage of a few years of the first part of production."

@omshanti08 Put on a few ‘mats shows back in the day. Used to blast this one on my college radio show. Nice

@graddhytrading @Paresh13964618 Interested in view on royalty cos vs miners for both gold and silver. Usually less torque but maybe some good in the mix since they have been trashed too

@QuixoticQuant Having a good laugh from abroad. Plantmeat too expensive, super processed crap. Yet never banned EVs have problems with cost range repair resale LCA. Never banned! Nuclear terrific across the board except current tech is expensive upfront. Much cheaper tech soon. Ban it!

1) We need to talk about the way doomism is being used by certain climate scientists as a pejorative term for many climate activists. It's necessary to discuss this, because post COP26 this term is being widely abused and used against anyone questioning the efficacy of COP talks.

The BBC decided this week that earth-shattering news – Israel's most famous human rights group had concluded that Israel is an apartheid state - merited no coverage. Media Lens explain why these glaring gaps in corporate media reporting are all too common https://t.co/z1vE6VKxlc

@greenprofgreen @esaikawa @ryanrafaty @FelixPretis @GibMetcalf @MichaelAklin @pol_economist @dcullenward @ClimateSSN @sais_isep @aradwanski @drvolts @trashfuturepod @KateAronoff Jessica, isn't there a basic problem here in that there has yet to be a carbon price scheme instituted that comes anywhere close to what is required. $200/t+ etc. Political challenge to be sure but not clear policy would be ineffective if implemented

[Douglas Holt @douglasbholt]

Love this framing of sustainability--beautiful jujitsu of consumer capitalism. Far better for movement/politics strategy than green consumption, degrowth, and the other conventional eco-ideologies, which simply don't resonate outside a few %. Monbiot's take can win working class

The government must act now

[Douglas Holt @douglasbholt]

@lisanandy @paulmasonnews Be smarter with messaging: lead with fixing the crony privatized failure that is TTI! (not lock down). We have to do lock down to reset TTI. With this, labour is lockdown party, exactly what Boris has been attempting to frame for 6 months.

[Douglas Holt @douglasbholt]

Johnson and his inept privatization cronies have sent the UK into a 2nd wave that was entirely avoidable. It is imperative that we raise our voices to stop the madness and return test/trace/isolate to local NHS/PH control. Costello's authoritative overview. Need to act now.

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

We’re in a mess. Cases, hospitalisations and deaths are all rising. It's too late for test and trace to stop it. Things will just get worse. We have FOUR options: (1)

This is why we believe the government must take action ***today***.

Latest figures show we are days away from levels we saw when London locked down. We need press, public & government to understand the extreme seriousness of the situation. Please join us, 1.30pm today

[Douglas Holt @douglasbholt]

@GeorgeMonbiot Problem is that "excessive"=greed readilly leads to championing the various new age-y "reforms" of capitalism (purpose, sustainable business, conscious) rather than address the real issues of political economy that make our world so unsustainable. This is the new elite discourse.

@MacdonaldWilf @GeorgeMonbiot I've had extensive interactions with XR and their leaders (Rupert Read etc) are entirely dismissive of any arguments challenging their "commandments"--which is precisely what they are.
