Great idea. Make sure you can get away in case they become physically violent 🙃

1/ Vietnam is tackling the threat of drones by refitting old 37mm anti-aircraft guns with new fire-control systems, radar tracking, and electromechanical drives, to turn them into cheap but effective automatic anti-drone turrets. ⬇️

if you come across a trump coin, just a reminder that its against the law to deface currency and under no circumstances should you draw a large penis (or numerous small penises) on that coin

This again is happening in Europe too. The violent semi fascists are labeled 'unheard concerned citizens', while protesters against climate destruction and genocide are increasingly labeled and extremists and terrorists.

Ik zag ‘Boerocratie’ vorig jaar in de bioscoop. Ik wil iedereen aanraden deze documentaire online te bekijken. Veeteelt vernielt onze wereld. Ik dacht dat ik wel het een en ander wist en gelezen had, maar schrok alsnog van aard & omvang AGRO-lobby. Met mijn held @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 1/2

Some day, probably long after I die, the War on Drugs will be recognized as a cruel folly. Even so, almost all countries seem committed to continue as is, ruining lives and wasting fortunes. www.sciencealert.com/huge-psilocy...

Deze rubriek vind ik nog altijd fantastisch. Vandaag: het krasvermogen van schuursponzen verschilt enorm. Daar is een maat voor, de Mohs. Waarom wordt die bij nat schuurpapier wel vermeld, maar bij schuursponzen niet? Ik zeg: seksisme. Ze zijn bang dat vrouwen geen nummer willen op hun spons.

Excuse the peculiar phrasing - the original Dutch article is coherent 😉 How the Dutch government shared data with Plantar for more than a decade, and lied about it. The PM at the time was our current NATO boss, Mark Rutte.

Concerned about growing fascism? Improve your social services. This is not new, but an impressive confirmation. "We find that declining public services fuel support for the populist right — and show why the right benefits more than other parties."
