Today in "talk shit, get hit": Japanese "politician" Kawai Yūsuke, who's turned to anti-immigrant hate to garner attention, got lightly grazed on the cheek after harassing Kurdish immigrants at their annual Newroz Festival & acted like he'd taken a bazooka to the face.

A reminder.
Humanity has never removed an atmospheric pollutant at a global, continental or, even, regional scale — we have only ever shut down the source and let nature do the clearing up. This is the case for chlorofluorocarbons and stratospheric ozone destruction, for sulfur dioxide and acid rain, and for sulfur and nitrogen oxides and photochemical smog. We must be prepared for CDR to be a failure, leaving us to rely on the environment to stabilize atmospheric CO₂ over thousands of years. This is another argument for rapid decarbonization.

The board just dropped in the finance committee: 30 million in cuts still needed, equivalent to 300 FTE. Is this just more budgetary belt-tightening, or are these the first whispers of layoffs?

The not-so-funny thing about NL media is that they would say things like this: "Only 18% of respondents in the RTL poll considered Geert Wilders a good choice for prime minister" That is roughly 1/5 of the population eligible to vote considering a fully-blown racist to be a good choice for PM.
