The #ClimateCrisis is not just about #carbon molecules in the air. It is about who puts them there and who pays the price. French economist #ThomasPiketty warns that if class inequality is ignored, climate policy will fail. The wealthiest emitters are flying in #PrivateJets, buying oversized cars, and taking short distance flights while ordinary households struggle with rising costs for energy, food, and housing.

Someone Needs To Do a 'Follow The Money':
Or Follow The Property Ownership.... A lot of the people having their Visas and Permanent Resident Status revoked on the "Whims" of the Current Administration are actually property owners . They own Homes, businesses etc. in many cases as do their family members.
I have a NASTY suspicion that they are being targeted because someone or some developer is picking up their property for a song, in some states a quick grab for unpaid real estate taxes can mean they lose the property if they are not here to pay it. Property is changing hands in major cities out of this and the surrounding suburbs because of the events.... who Benefits is key. I think Trump's allies and sons could easily be the ones buying up real estate this way...
Unfortunately I don't know any working Journalists any more to put this suggestion to....

The Ndlovu Youth Choir was formed in 2009 at a childcare facility in Elandsdoorn, Limpopo, South Africa. They are all grown up now, but are not about to change the name. They released their first album in 2019 after appearing on the TV competition show America's Got Talent, when they made it to the final round.
Here they are singing Nessun Dorma. WOW! I'm not crying...you are!

#Google once promised to run “carbon free 24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year” by 2030. But five years later the company has quietly deleted its net zero pledge from its sustainability website rebranding the section and moving the goal into an appendix.
The shift comes as #AI data centres drive surging energy use. Google’s power consumption jumped 26% in 2024 nearly matching #Ireland ’s and the #Trump administration pressures #corporations to roll back #climate goals.

The "Department of War" website has this image (left) purporting to show locations of U.S. military around the world. These guys aren't even pretending to be competent. Yes sure we have tons of bases in Russia & China. Western Europe, nope. Even if they were counting the presence of USMC guards at U.S. embassies, the map wouldn't look like that at all.

Alright Fedi. This is going to be my more far fetched question as of yet.
Do any of you happens to have, lying in a box somewhere, a Photo CD? And if so, would you be willing to part with it?
Just to clear any possible confusion, I’m specifically looking for a disc in the Photo CD format, not a CD-R on which pictures have been stored as files. Here is the article on the subject: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_CD.

What do I like most about Linux?
What I like most about Linux is what it DOESN’T do:
It doesn’t spy on me. It doesn’t force me to spend money. It doesn’t deny me access to my hardware or my software. It doesn’t dictate when, where, or HOW I can use my computer.
That’s what they mean when they use the term “free.”
Not “free” as in money, because one should always support the development of the software they use whenever possible, but free as in FREEDOM.

My grandmother grew a pair of chickens in her backyard. She moved them into her bathroom one weekend, called me in, and I watched as she spun them around by their necks and yanked their heads off with her bare hands.
Edit:
Was around 7 or 8.

Just a Tuesday for her. Saw her skin a deer that was hit by a car.
She would drink buttermilk like a normal would put down lemonade.
Squeeze pig intestines line a tube of toothpaste for DIY “chitlins”.
She was like Rambo. Could eat things that would make a Billy goat puke.
What a machine she was.

But then you stop for a second to think what you gotta do to take care of your Stardew like farm.
Wake up early ass in the morning. Take care of your animals.
Stress out and hoping they don't get sick and die. Same shit with the crops. Go financial broke because a bad harvest.
