#IPCC's 2022 #ClimateReport shows heatwaves in Europe will become more frequent, more intense & will last longer.

By 2050, about half of the European population may be exposed to high or very high risk of heat stress during summer.

Galbraith's The Affluent Society (1958) surprised people by explaining the idiotic world they were living in, where bloated private consumption of things they often absolutely don't need goes hand in hand with the destruction of public space, from schools to hospitals. Galbraith explained how advertising teaches people to buy endlessly, and corporations make them work so they can buy again — consumption as the engine of the social system.
But someone should soon write a book about how The Affluent Society ended — and a new era began. An era where most people no longer have to work, because there's no work, and the elite doesn't need buyers. The main theme is no longer production and consumption but access to resources: those who have capital, infrastructure, data, and protection — and those who never will.
Roughly like in the colonies: the overseas masters make sure local groups fight each other enough not to interfere with the guards around the cobalt mine, where a few lucky ones dig up resources with their bare hands for a dollar a day.
Oh wait — no digging needed. Robots will dig.
The population is seen by the power only as a politically dangerous element of the system.
That world might look like one of those strange civilizations the Star Trek crew encountered on its voyages: a small techno-elite amid wonders and abundance, the majority somewhere below — in degrading spaces, in despair and horror.
Who'd want to live in a world like that? Well, maybe the Star Trek crew will fly over and sort it all out for us?

Israel is murdering the best people. they're mass murdering the light.

A planned luxury resort in Albania linked to Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, is under an anti-corruption investigation over changes to protected coastal land, amid growing protests.

fresh out of their holocaust, they were beating our babies and elders with batons, and pretending to be victims all the while.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Why the fuck is the blame only confined to Itamar Ben-Gvir"? He is just saying things out loud, explicitly.
The problem is systemic, inherent to an exclusionary system that MUST regard Palestinians (& others) as nonhumans. It is a necessary part of the system.

[The Muslim Mum @TheMumMuslim]

British surgeon who operated on Palestinians in Gaza, tells Tucker Carlson how the Israelis would deliberately shoot starving male children in the testicles, shoot vulnerable pregnant women in their stomachs, and let new born babies die in incubators - leaving their tiny bodies to rot for weeks on end...

How much more evidence do we need against this evil satanic Israeli regime?!

Enemies of humanity

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

“Israel told residents to leave” is an insane way to describe ETHNIC CLEANSING.

So you agree, Israel was founded on ethnic cleansing?

Palestine stands as the moral compass of our time.
Exposing Apartheid and its crimes, their root causes and implications, is necessary to ensure the world "wake up" and work together to overcome it.
Together we can and we will.

@BrianMcDonaldIE @georgegalloway Ridiculous, shameful and offensive to those who died and who had nothing to do with Putin. History is being rewritten with utter arrogance, but we urge new generations not to let themselves be manipulated.

My friend, they run barefoot in a marathon for Gaza, and from the heart of Gaza itself. As though they are running across pain itself, to prove that life still endures here, and that this city, despite genocide and siege, neither bows nor ceases to dream.
