Hilarious that it's named after bread. Imagine if the Canadians created a missile called Poutine. Imagine getting killed by the fucking food missile.

More air defense in Chechnya means less on the front lines. No additional air defense in Chechnya means pissed off Chechens. Win-win.

Not only a petrostate, but also a dictatorship and a state that just ethnically cleansed 100,000 Armenians and is getting ready to do even more of that.

 

Azerbaijan’s president, Ilham Aliyev, told a climate conference in April: “Having oil and gas deposits is not our fault. It’s a gift from God.”

Modern bikes being less maintainable is largely on the extreme low-end like Walmart bikes, or extreme high end carbon-fiber nonsense designed for rich weekend warriors.

Best if you find a shop that deals in second-hand bikes and get a cheap one. A bike that has been maintained by such a shop is likely to continue being maintainable. Plus you may not know what kind of bike you like til you ride it for a while so don't spend too much for your first one.

Due to difficulties in the currency market, your bonus will be paid in instalments, in an equivalent quantity of potatoes and mandarins.

 

Maybe EVs are not a comprehensive climate solution??

How dare they damage the frame of an artwork and make the curators have to wipe off soup from the protective plexiglas, while leaving the artwork entirely intact?

How dare they throw easily-removed biodegradable cornstarch-based paint onto Stonehenge? Don't these monsters know Stonehenge is made of such fragile stones?

Americans (and others in "democracies") can choose every few years which oligarchs have a turn at the wheel. However, any kind of democracy at the workplace is forbidden. Workers getting together to decide what to produce by democratic means? Sounds like communism. Can only get democracy theatre.

Bruh how? You can get kilograms of dried beans for $10.

It's more expensive for canned beans but for $10 are you eating 5 cans of organic beans a day?

Only if you're American.

 

Another huge hydro dam is being built in British Columbia, on Canada's west coast.

The article describes the coming destruction of farmland and wildlife habitat.

“We have to decarbonize our economy, but it can’t be on the back of flooding more river valleys.”

But as long as the economy grows, more sacrifice zones like this will be made. And if you don't like flooded river valleys, go take a look at tar sands pits or mountaintop removals.

 

Logging companies get to clearcut burned forests, including trees that survived the burn. Another way that capital can profit even from disaster. And the extractive state lays down the red carpet for capital to do it.

 

Specifically about coal plants.
