You know those corks in your wine bottles? Here's what the poor cork trees have to suffer for that!

Carbon #emissions are now growing faster than before the #pandemic
Despite talk of a green recovery, global #greenhousegas emissions continued to rise as the world emerged from coronavirus lockdowns. Emissions rose 1.3% to 57.1 gigatons of #carbondioxide in #2023. That is far faster annual rate of growth than during 2010-2019, when emissions grew on average 0.8% per year. In fact, global greenhouse gas emissions are now just below the 59.1 gigatons peak recorded in 2019.

🇧🇬 Ukraine and Bulgaria have begun negotiations on a security agreement. The parties have agreed on a timeline for further talks to prepare the final text of the agreement as soon as possible.

Does anyone else smell that? And what's wrong with the canary, it looks dead.

When a billionaire owner’s effort to avoid negative attention about fascist appeasement by directing his editorial board to not endorse a candidate inadvertently draws far more attention than simply letting the newspaper follow its normal process would have, this is known as the Reichstand Effect.

Even if my vote is a protest vote (which it isn't), I still have a right to cast it.

My vote WILL count toward the candidate I'm voting for.

It doesn't not count against your candidate.

It doesn't count toward a candidate you don't like or I didn't vote for.

So, please, for the last time...

Sit your whole ass down with this 3rd party voting bullshit!

Stay mad that I won't vote for genocide, capitalism, imperialism, and racism!

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk!

I wish I could pay #PBS for their kids iPad app. It’s so good (for very young kids) and doesn’t include all the terrible patterns of all other iOS games.
Yes, I will donate at their site but that’s not the same

I would like #EJCarroll, #RubyFreeman, #ShayeMoss, #CassidyHutchison, #LizCheney, #FaniWillis and so many more women to explain to #JeffBezos and #PatrickSoonShiong what courage is. These women have more strength in the fingernail of their little pinky than these frightened, greedy, and fascistic billionaires.

our microwave (built in, came with the house, probably 20-25 years old?) is a little wonky and sometimes seems to not recognize the door is fully closed, so the magnetron clicks a bunch and doesn't start up, but the fan and light turn on and the tray spins as though it's cooking.

the only solution I've found that consistently fixes this is to stop the microwave, hit the door, then turn it back on again. it works every time. percussive maintenance is real and it's great :BurningElmo:

Dear Americans:

We don't hate you "for your freedoms", we hate you because the bombs your State produces burn children alive in Gaza. I'm sure we could all get along just fine if you stop.
