Unfortunately, I don't think ship crew (other than the captain and navigator) get much of a choice in where the ship goes.

Maybe we should ban Christianity while we're at it. It has things like 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God'. Pretty antisemitic if you think about it.

Who'd vote for Reform-lite when they can vote for Reform?

Courageous move by Keir Starmer, in the Yes Minister sense.

I don't think he expects to get re-elected anyway.

50km lightning waow.

Nature is beautiful. And scary.

So it's some kind of high-altitude lightning, right? Wikipedia says something something plasma something.

What are 'chasers'? Tailists?

My initial reaction was 'that's not half bad (particularly for those already at risk)' but then I realised that your health insurance system will abuse this.

Nah, just racist brainworms. How climate change will affect each country is hard to predict, but I'd guess (worst to best)

  • south and southeast Asia will be the worst affected due to heatwaves and famines
  • Meditteranean Europe will become hotter and drier
  • Atlantic Europe will become very cold as the Gulf Stream weakens.
  • eastern Amazon turns into a grassland or even a desert, causing droughts in Brazil
  • north america moderately affected
  • southern and western South America, and Southern Africa, moderately affected
  • northern Russia might benefit but southern Russia and Central Asia would become too hot and dry
  • China will figure out something (assuming no WW3)
  • north and West Africa could benefit from increased rainfall and the greening of the Sahara.

Obviously, this is not ecological advice; don't trust anyone who thinks they can forecast climate change, etc.

Even this isn't true. Areas closer to the poles are warming (and will warm) faster than ones close to the equator. And Atlantic Europe will cool as the Gulf Stream weakens.

Isn't it one Iron Dome unit that got hit? I'm assuming there are multiple sites.

 

Reminder that Luigi Mangione, the handsome young man most unfairly accused of murder, is a Catholic. He is also white, Italian and vaguely paternalistic. Finally, he has been compared to Jesus and various saints, and is seen as a champion of the sick and the downtrodden.

All I'm saying is, the College of Cardinals has a chance to do something very funny.
