What the oil industry doesn’t want you to know - Stephanie Honchell Smith
TED-Ed
>Uncover the oil industry’s decades-long campaign to discredit climate change science regarding the danger of fossil fuels.
--
>Throughout the 1980s, oil industry reps discussed the dangers of burning fossil fuels, acknowledging the risk their product posed to the future of humanity. However, instead of warning the public or pivoting towards renewable energy sources, they doubled down on oil — and launched a decades-long campaign to discredit climate change science. Stephanie Honchell Smith digs into Big Oil's tactics.

It's really funny watching you believe that a drink is comparable the foundational foods of a diet, to the staple foods. You really have zero clue about nutrition.
Don't let the illusion of progress stand in the way of meaningful change.

This "informational incest" is present in many aspects of society and needs to be stopped (one of the worst places is in the Intelligence sector).
Bone and wood ash drink
I prefer not to distract myself with incrementalist "solutions".
They're being downvoted because the UPF moral panic is being used to promote the meat industry, which is what this is in this context. They have entire ad campaigns for it, so this user's comment is essentially repeating a Big Beef ad.

🧑⚖️Integrity vs Expediency: The Climate Trial (Roger Hallam)
As Martin Luther King said, moderates are our biggest obstacle to freedom. Here's how they enabled my prison sentence.
right, so bone ash and wood, not bone broth.
Sure they do, the tech makes it all the more deadly and impersonal. You get remote oppression, deadly robots, big bombs, but also precision death - your own personal haunting, as you are chased to death by a small drone with a gun.
The media in which this happens is a constant source of alienation and insanity from all the isolation and subjective experience. You don't even get to commiserate and your cries of horror and pain aren't just muffled, they're inverted and turned into fantasy fulfillment and marketing materials.
All of this is also more efficient, faster, better, smarter, bigger, and thus you have nowhere to really hide.
You rarely get to see your killer, to face them, to look into their eyes. The same goes for them; to them you're not an enemy, you're a pest. They don't see you, they see a few moving pixels on a screen, at best.
The difference would be the tech and the ocean of media it all floats in.
So much for the "it's a pyroscape and they need fire!!" theory

Airports disrupted across Europe as civil resistance groups join Oil Kills – the International Uprising to end fossil fuels - PRESS RELEASE - Oil Kills
For immediate release Airports disrupted across Europe as civil resistance groups join Oil Kills – the International Uprising to end […]
>” Ordinary people are taking matters into their own hands today to do what our criminal governments have failed to do. We are putting our bodies on the wheels of the machine of the global fossil economy and saying oil kills; we refuse to die for fossil fuels and we refuse to stand by while hundreds of millions of innocent people are murdered. We are in resistance against our murderous governments and the criminal elites who are threatening the survival of humanity.
>“The climate crisis will not end until every single country has phased out fossil fuels, but those who bear the greatest responsibility and have the greatest capacity must do the most. As citizens of wealthy countries based in the global north, we demand that our governments stop extracting and burning oil, gas and coal by 2030 and that they support and finance other countries to make a fast, fair and just transition. They must sign a Fossil Fuel Treaty to end the war on humanity before we lose everything. “

IT outage: banks, airlines and media hit by issues linked to Windows PCs
>A global IT outage has caused chaos at airports, banks, railways andbusinesses around the world as a wide range of services were taken offline and millions of people were affected.
>In one of the most widespread IT crashes ever to hit companies and institutions globally, air transport ground to a halt, hospitals were affected and large numbers of workers were unable to access their computers. In the UK Sky News was taken off air temporarily and the NHS GP booking system was down.
>Microsoft’s Windows service was at the centre of the outage, with experts linking the problem to a software update from cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike that has affected computer systems around the world. Experts said the outage could take days from which to recover because every PC may have to be fixed manually.
>Overnight, Microsoft confirmed it was investigating an issue with its services and apps, with the organisation’s service health website warning of “service degradation” that meant users may not be able to access many of the company’s most popular services, used by millions of business and people around the world.
>Among the affected firms are Ryanair, Europe’s largest airline, which said on its website: “Potential disruptions across the network (Fri 19 July) due to a global third party system outage … We advise passengers to arrive at the airport three hours in advance of their flight to avoid any disruptions.”

The federal government is refusing to restore eroded beaches in Pinellas County unless homeowners agree to one condition: public access.

> Lisa Hendrickson is almost out of sand. > > Hendrickson is the mayor of Redington Shores, Florida, a well-heeled beach town in Pinellas County. Her town occupies a small section of a razor-thin barrier island that stretches down the western side of the sprawling Tampa Bay metro area, dividing cities like Tampa and St. Petersburg from the Gulf of Mexico. Many of her constituents have an uninterrupted view of the ocean. > > The town’s only protection from the Gulf of Mexico’s increasingly erratic storms is a pristine beach that draws millions of tourists every year — but that beach is disappearing fast. A series of storms, culminating in last fall’s Hurricane Idalia, have eroded most of the sand that protects Redington Shores and the towns around it, leaving residents just one big wave away from water overtaking their homes.
