And even then,if we stop polluting right now, we still might not Make it as a civilisation.

  • Mullvad seems to be working, but some people have reported that it is possible, it silently drops a connection but appears to be connected. I don't know how to check for that, though. Time to learn.

  • David Cameron warns of Gaza famine as UK sends Royal Navy ship to boost aid effort
  • Yes, many countries have sent food, but Israel has been throttling the supply by not letting trucks through at the crossings. Hence, the air drops and trying to build a pier.

  • It looks like Netanyahu is trying to draw other countries into the war. The longer he can keep it going, the longer he has to try to shore up his position. Once the war is over, so is Netanyahu.

  • What’s the point of Starmer’s Labour if it won’t stand up for poor, sick or disabled people? | Frances Ryan
    www.theguardian.com What’s the point of Starmer’s Labour if it won’t stand up for poor, sick or disabled people? | Frances Ryan

    The party should be a beacon of hope for people on benefits. Instead, with a 30-point poll lead, it’s parroting Tory soundbites, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

    What’s the point of Starmer’s Labour if it won’t stand up for poor, sick or disabled people? | Frances Ryan

    "It is not a coincidence that the spending that is deemed irresponsible is typically for the benefits system or wider welfare state. Tax breaks for a CEO’s investment portfolio are prudent, while funding for a disabled person’s care worker is wasteful."

  • Almost 80 years after the Holocaust, 245,000 Jewish survivors are still alive
  • My grandma was 100 a couple of days ago and, she was imprisoned in Dachau towards the end of the war. She was a partizan, not Jewish. There were a lot of non-Jewish people imprisoned and killed in the camps. But sadly they are often forgotten.

  • Kevin, we should have kept you
  • We could not afford to keep him. We got so attached to him and his littermates.His mum had them secretly under a hedge and tuned up with them at the back door. They were pretty feral to start with. But not Kevin, he just marched in behind his mum,found the food and sofa and behaved as if he was born to it. It took us weeks to tame the others, but eventually they were ready to be homed. They are spaced across all our neighbours and Kevin often waits on the garden wall for his mum to come out. I miss them, but the money paid for his mum to be fixed, vaccinated and has a better life now. Sometimes love means letting them go.

  • IDF admits Christmas Eve Gaza airstrike killed dozens of innocents
  • I don't think they actually targeted them, but I also think they don't care about civilian casualties. The soldiers do not appear to see the Palestinian people as human, like themselves. Netanyahu has loosed the dogs of war, and he can't stop because the moment that happens, he and his government are done.

  • What do you want for Christmas?
  • Being able to put the heating on for the days of Christmas would be nice. It is very cold.
