Maybe we should ban Christianity while we’re at it. It has things like ‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God’. Pretty antisemitic if you think about it.

Who’d vote for Reform-lite when they can vote for Reform?

Courageous move by Keir Starmer, in the Yes Minister sense.

I don’t think he expects to get re-elected anyway.

50km lightning waow.

Nature is beautiful. And scary.

So it’s some kind of high-altitude lightning, right? Wikipedia says something something plasma something.

What are ‘chasers’? Tailists?

Close enough

My initial reaction was ‘that’s not half bad (particularly for those already at risk)’ but then I realised that your health insurance system will abuse this.

Nah, just racist brainworms. How climate change will affect each country is hard to predict, but I’d guess (worst to best)

• south and southeast Asia will be the worst affected due to heatwaves and famines
• Meditteranean Europe will become hotter and drier
• Atlantic Europe will become very cold as the Gulf Stream weakens.
• eastern Amazon turns into a grassland or even a desert, causing droughts in Brazil
• north america moderately affected
• southern and western South America, and Southern Africa, moderately affected
• northern Russia might benefit but southern Russia and Central Asia would become too hot and dry
• China will figure out something (assuming no WW3)
• north and West Africa could benefit from increased rainfall and the greening of the Sahara.

Obviously, this is not ecological advice; don’t trust anyone who thinks they can forecast climate change, etc.

Even this isn’t true. Areas closer to the poles are warming (and will warm) faster than ones close to the equator. And Atlantic Europe will cool as the Gulf Stream weakens.

Isn’t it one Iron Dome unit that got hit? I’m assuming there are multiple sites.

Boeing paying racist bot farms to go around claiming Indians are too subhuman to properly maintain their totaly not faulty engines.

From Wikipedia, Air India’s last flight loss was 40 years ago, in 1985 (to a terrorist attack). On the other hand, Air India was sold by the Indian government to a private company in 2022, so yeah.

Marxism-Leninism-Mao zeDong thought

Ehh, that’s the one humanising thing about him.

All’s quiet on the well front.

Lol no. But he could, for example, declare it a sin to not help migrants. He can’t enforce it, but it would be funny.

Ironically, global warming could green the Sahara.

What I understand is that the consciousness requirement was placed so that people could verify that the animal was healthy and had not been ill-treated. Stunning is allowed after examination and before slaughter. Meat certified by the UK Halal Food Authority, for example, is from stunned animals.

CW: death of animal

There are a few requirements for meat to be halal, such as killing humanely (usually by a single stroke of a sharp knife), and making sure the animal is healthy and has not been ill-treated. Some say that this improves the taste, as frightened animals produce lactic acid, which sours and hardens the meat.

Fires don’t care about their feelings.
