Thereโ€™s our baubles on the tree and #JingleJam in the background. Tree still looks a bit empty but we now have two cats so Iโ€™m hesitant to put the glass ones on for now.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Speaking as the mum of two young cats, who has to gather the (plastic) ornaments from the floor every morning while the tree is up, that is the correct choice! even if you didnโ€™t care about the ornaments per se, broken ornaments are v dangerous for cat beans. Merry Christmas from our house to yours! #CatMas


โ€œFollowing the #scienceโ€ is not quite as simple or straightforward as it sounds.

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

"When it comes to policy issues like climate change and public health, they frequently held the perception that scientists lack a broader understanding of how their recommendations might impact the economy, national security, or simply, the next election."

I mean, yeah OK but also people are dying and entire agriculture communities are at risk from global climate changes that politicians ignored and that are impacting the economy and national security.

in reply to Jordan Reiter

@jordanreiter Yes. This is a core aspect of what we argued during the Science Debate years. Science is the economy, national security, public health & more. Itโ€™s central to every significant challenge of the 21st century. sheril.substack.com/p/science-โ€ฆ

I know a lot of ppl at #COP28. But the thing is, the majority of them arenโ€™t scientists or legislators. Theyโ€™re also not working on #ClimateChange issues personally.

I canโ€™t help but wonder if the UN #climate summits have become more of an annual festival than a productive dialogue.

According to The Washington Post, there are a record 84,000 attendees in Dubai this year due to โ€œa large influx of business executives & lobbyists.โ€

in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum

Hundreds of lobbyists & other corporate corruptocrats per every government employee or official present. Yeah that's just a party for rich people.

Itโ€™s not, weโ€™re not web 3. The web does not really have a versioning system so it was always just kind of a marketing trick.

I will never stop marveling at libraries.

All the #books we could possibly want - for free! They don't have it? In a few days it will arrive on loan from another state. ๐Ÿ“š

when I was a kid, we didn't have a lot. The library felt like a magical world of plenty. Will always fight for library funding.

#fdroid versions aren't affected, updates disabled.

This is where #foss and #gplv3 shines: when a developer does something like this, just fork the repository and carry on.
