PM frames sweeping new regulations as the equivalent of labour movement touchstones like winning a minimum wage
@burgervege donc ça veut dire demander aux gens de collaborer avec la classe qui les exploitent et les méprisent ?
@ateliermcclane Pour moi c'est pas le niveau où se situe son analyse. D'une certaine façon, il dit que tous nos outils (intellectuels et pratiques) sont contaminés, comme par les pesticides. Croire qu'on échappe au capitalisme est naïf, parce qu'il est autant en nous que la pollution. Il nous imprègne jusqu'aux os, même si on n'est pas toustes dominants. 1/
I found this cool tool where I can generate maps of how far I can get by car in e.g. 2-3-4 hours or in a day (the layers are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5h and 7:30) 🚗🗺️
@mackuba Interesting. https://www.smappen.com/app/

"Frau K. ist obdachlos und hat einen Missbrauch erfahren. Wegen Panikattacken kam sie in eine Klinik, wo sie allmählich wieder auf die Beine kam", schreibt uns eine Gefängnismitarbeiterin mit der Bitte K. freizukaufen.
Nach der Klinik wurde K. nämlich inhaftiert. Wegen Fahrens ohne Ticket.
I want to create a series of music videos where everything is captured via non-traditional methods.
For example:
Music video made exclusively from trailcam footage.
Music video made exclusively from nanny cam footage.
Music video made exclusively from ring cam footage.
Music video made exclusively from Target self checkout footage.
Music video made exclusively from 7-eleven security camera footage.
Music video made exclusively from red light camera footage.

@neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk does this like, give them an irrevocable license to use your username however they want?
@lunareclipse It is certainly drafted broadly, isn't it!
I'd be wary.

There is an “orange warning” for both air quality and heat right now. Looking out of the window, the *air* is literally orange. It looks like there’s a photoshop filter over… reality? 👀
Parliament enacted a bill Wednesday to promote measures for proper maintenance and management of sewerage facilities in response to the 2025 sinkhole incident in the city of Yashio in Saitama Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/07/15/japan/japan-bill-sewerage-maintenance/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #saitama #yashio #sinkholes #sewage
I haven't seen any news stories about the actual fires in northern Ontario & what is happening to First Nations communities. As far as I can tell, no state of emergency has been issued even though several communities have been destroyed.
We have the world's worst air quality right now.
And all the while, Carney keeps removing environmental protections.
Fuck that earth-killing, money-grubbing asshole. He's contributing to the death of us all.

While people are choosing between heating and eating, fossil fuel CEOs are counting record profits.
They profit from war.
They profit from pollution.
They profit while communities face floods, fires, #heatwaves, and rising energy costs.
Enough.
Renewable energy is cheaper, cleaner, and more secure. No one can embargo the wind. No one can manipulate the price of sunlight.
@greenpeace Actually wait! I bet Elon Musk is already planning to send a giant sunshade in front of the sun, to bill us all for sunlight… 😓

There is an extreme weather alert for this afternoon.
The current temperature is 38°C, and record-breaking winds of up to 160 km/h and potentially destructive hail are expected later today.
I'm going to cram all my outdoor activities into the next two hours, and then lock myself inside the oven I call home.
@stefano take care!

Everything in this “AI business” is built on theft. Until you resolve that, I cannot entertain use for any purpose.
Completed my first 'Making Tax Digital' (even though I've been filing digitally for over 20 years) submission. I am still unsure as to what the benefit is in doing this, as HMRC now knows something they would have been told later anyway, and they won't get the money any sooner. But I am £228 worse off for the privilege.
