City is blanketed in acrid smog every autumn, primarily blamed on stubble burning by farmers in neighbouring states.#Gallery #Climate #ClimateCrisis #Asia #India

The political class will START TO LISTEN AND TAKE NOTE OF THIS.

If you don’t like what Google is doing, spend a few moments seeing if some non-Google alternatives work for you:
Android —> GrapheneOS, /e/, Droidian, and more
Chrome —> Firefox, Safari, (Lynx :))
Docs —> cryptpad, Nextcloud docs, Collabora online
Drive —> Nextcloud
Gmail —> protonmail, mail from someone like Mythic Beasts
Search —> DuckDuckGo, StartPage
You don’t have to change everything at once, or commit to anything immediately. But it is Google, so you may be forced to move at some point!

Given the size of Gaza, and the fall out radius, then Isreal would get a large portion of the fallout, (as would other countries.
You are right about their lack of intellect, how the heck these people get jobs as politicians is anyone s guess and rather worrying too.

It looks like the government’s plans would make it illegal to say things like ‘the benefits system is unjust and should be reformed’ or ‘we should swap from FPTP to proportional representation’ or ‘Britain should abolish the monarchy’ or ‘the House of Lords should be replaced with a directly elected chamber’ or ‘Scotland should be independent’. Later they’ll try to claim they’re committed to freedom of speech & tackling extremism. They’re the extremists. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/04/plans-to-redefine-extremism-would-include-undermining-uk-values #ukpolitics
What this may do is force more people to home school their kids, so at least then, they will get a proper education, that prepares kids for the future rather than schools filling their heads with stuff like this.
Many of the things you mention here are valid discussion points that should be debated.
Of course the above is nice in theory but once kids are out of school they can fall off the radar and some fall victim to abuse, which is much harder to pick up unless those kids have contact with other kids or people in say clubs where the leaders have had training in how to spot the signs of abuse.

The proper response to someone killing kids is not to kill someone else's kids.

Space Weather
A moderate G2 Geomagnetic Storm is in progress.
Mid-latitude aurora is now being reported by an amateur radio operator in Portugal at 40°N, which is amazing!

"Digitizing books can spur demand for physical copies" --Academic paper
"Their main findings: Digitization can boost sales of physical books by up to 8% by stimulating demand through online discovery. The increase in sales was found to be stronger for less popular books and even spilled over to a digitized author's nondigitized works. "
Yup. but now academic presses are demanding people stop checking out a book a maximum of 26 times a year. 26 times a year globally.
