Yesterday, I ordered a new pair of hemp shoes from 8000kicks.
UPS says they had in in Leiria, Portugal 2 hours ago - and plan to deliver it to me BY END OF DAY. That's about 2000km in less than 12 hours.
I'm not sure if that means I have to clear the field outside our house for landing of a freight plane or a helicopter - or if I just should expect a giant crater.

I hope Andy Burn 'em has some advisor who actually reads Environmental Research Letters. The review essay by Emily Grubert, summarizing a frustrating 25 years of research with no apparent effect on climate overheating, is blunt.

The law, which has been in place since 1969, requires cities and counties every eight years to d…

There has to be a rock bottom, but it feels like we've gone straight through bedrock and glitched into some unrecognizable upside-down where we just keep falling faster and faster.
If this isn't enough to get people into the streets until this stops, I just can't imagine what it would take. They literally murdered a 1 year old and they claim it was because his dad was stealing diapers. What the actual fuck?
