"The only way to deal with rapists is to put a gun to their head. The United States is the greatest threat to freedom and democracy in the world today. Preserving freedom and democracy is worth paying any price. It is not subject to deals."

🥳 New Kitten¹ release
• Added `initialise()` hook to `kitten.Component` instances.
This gets called at the end of the constructor and is handy if you don’t want to override the constructor and have to handle the `data` parameter and remember to call `super(data)`. You can still access passed data from `this.data`.

Note that the component is not part of the view hierarchy on the client at this point. If you have tasks you need to perform only once per page – for example, ins…

Getting inspired by those Liquid Glass talks.
Ignore the colors, this would be the new layout, instead of the existing one that is inconvenient because you need to use the menus too much:

It's a bit hard to find, but Dutch PBL Agency (@leefomgeving.bsky.social) estimates that the new coalition agreement has a positive effect on greenhouse gas emission reduction. Current policies would lead to -65% by 2040, and the new policies would bring that to -70 .. -75%.
However PBL doesn't tell us whether we'll catch up on the -55% goal for 2030 in the Climate Law; last year, it estimated that we're on a course for -50% (-45 .. 53%).

The Colorado River is on the verge of crisis.
No one has a solution.
Once again, the Colorado River is heading toward a crisis. This time, the way out appears murkier than ever.

For months, the seven states of the Colorado River basin have failed to reach an agreement on new rules to share the river’s dwindling supply of water.
The current rules that divvy up water among 40 million people in the West, including Los Angeles, Phoenix and farming regions that provide most o…

The Los Angeles Metro Board
unanimously voted Thursday to proceed with developing a
14-mile-long subway under the Santa Monica Mountains.
It’s one of the first significant steps in what city and county leaders are describing as
the region's most consequential transit project -- and perhaps one of the most important in the country.
Metro staff said in a report to its board that it has secured funding through county tax measures for about 14% of the $24.2 bill…

On this Monday morning, please spare a thought for those who are starting the week off in cold, damp tents surrounded by the rubble of their previous lives, trapped within the clutches of an ongoing genocide that is the collective failure of humanity.
If you want to help, here’s a list of verified Mastodon accounts of Gazans and links to their fundraisers, ranked by how little support they got last week to feed their families and cover the basic necessities of life:

In case you want to report this Zionist hasbara account that posted this reply and blocked me, please feel free to.
(This is their new tactic. The anonymous cowards.)
PS. Be careful, they’re on a German instance, they might block you instead if the admins are pro-genocide also (it’s a very common thing in Germany).
