Content warning: re: UKPol Burn ham or Burn Oil?

Burn ham or Burn Oil?
Sounds like first policies are going to be more oil drilling and taking "control" of Thames Water.
Note that more oil drilling will NOT reduce the price of energy to the consumer, nor do much to increase sovereign energy independence. It will however mean lots of profits to the party donors from the oil industry, and of course mean more heat-domes and wildfires and floods and rising sea levels. More death from heatstroke.
Note also that "control" of Thames Water is not nationalization, not "ownership", it's just really more (likely toothless) regulation of private industry.
Welcome to the new boss, same as the old boss.

Generative AI has already been given far too much money, oxygen and attention, and if it cannot survive without continual venture capital and media coddling, it is unworthy and unnecessary, and must face the cold, hard reality that every regular person faces when they fail.”

Their results showed that the climate benefits were generally greatest when gas-powered vehicles
were retired at year one, resulting in a 58% reduction in carbon emissions over a 16-year period. It
typically took about three years for the lower emissions of driving a battery electric vehicle to offset
the emissions required to produce it. Then the climate benefits added up quickly from there.
“What it comes down to is just that gas vehicles require so much more energy to operate,”
Campbell explained. “Only 20% of the energy in the gasoline that most of our cars burn actually
goes toward moving the vehicle — the rest is just lost as heat. So it really puts internal combustion
engines in a totally different class than EVs when it comes to efficiency, and that leads to a
situation where you want to retire the gas-powered vehicle as soon as you can.”

There is a conversation to be had here about "comprehensibility." Big tech understands money. Huge capitalist organizations have spent years adapting to markets that dominate everything. They have learned how to ruthlessly destroy competition. They have learned how to take the massive amounts of money they can siphon from society and use it to manipulate political systems. They bent the world to their will, until there was nothing to stop them from destroying it.
But here we are, our lives now threatened by their continued existence. At a certain point, it doesn't matter how much money they can pay you if your house will burn down, your water will dry up, your food won't grow, and your children will cook. At a certain point, free isn't cheap enough to make their continued extraction of our data worth it.
At a certain point we need to do things that are *incomprehensible* to those still operating within capitalism and the captured political systems.

The #HawkFire stands at a little over 15,000 acres burned,

Approximately close to 90,000 residents live within the mandatory evacuation and evacuation warning zones.
The fire was listed at 0% containment as of 5:30 a.m. M…

"But in winter for heating we don't have solar and gas is so efficient!!1!"
My guy, if you'd burn the gas in a power plant instead and make electricity out of it and then have people use heat pumps to heat you'd need overall way less gas for the same amount of heating (gas = 80-95% efficiency, heat pump = 300-500% efficiency).

Sonnet 019 - XIX
Devouring Time, blunt thou the lion's paws,
And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger's jaws,
And burn the long-liv'd phoenix, in her blood;
Make glad and sorry seasons as thou fleet'st,
And do whate'er thou wilt, swift-footed Time,
To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:
O! carve not with thy hours my love…

Content warning: Climate catastrophe and direct action

Earth's futures can be divided into two categories: futures which support human life and those that don't.
The IPCC reports have avoided framing things this way, but burn enough fossil fuels quickly enough and you tip over into the later.
Note that this logic applies to any sub-region of the Earth too: some unknown number of years ago, thanks to ExxonMobil's sales of oil and duplicity about the known risks, the tipping point into "unlivable future" was crossed with respect to a segment of the Trishuli river in Nepal, and just this year that future was realized quite suddenly. In individual apartments across North America and Europe this summer thousands of people found themselves in unlivable futures due to heat waves, and millions more avoided that fate narrowly through the use of air conditioning which could well fail in future heat waves...
What the IPCC reports have been detailing for literally more than three decades is what it would take to tip things the other way. They report this in various forms, but usually at the level of how much CO2 emissions can be permitted on what schedule in order to prevent (locally-)unlivable futures (abstracted as a number of degrees of warming relative to a baseline).
The IPCC reports of emissions and mitigations can be translated into actions: what kind of policy would have to be enacted when by which government in order to avoid an unlivable future. In general however, hierarchical nation-states have proven collectively incapable of meeting *any* of these targets, and so indeed, translating emissions targets into policy actions is increasingly impossible, and has always been an improbable path towards survival. The longer nation states fail to meet the necessary emissions goals (or even accelerate oil drilling), the more drastic action is necessary. We can continue to talk about what kind of national policies might avoid unlivable futures, even as those futures are realized for more and more people, but national policies are not the only kinds of actions that can change the future. Fire example, a national policy shutting down an oil pipeline might avert a certain amount of emissions, but the pipeline owner could also shut it down themselves, or an activist could sabotage it, and the effect would be the same. Lots of different actors have different kinds of actions they can take to create similar effects, and it's the effects that are necessary to avoid unlivable futures.
Effectively, assuming that we will not wind up in a totally unlivable future, this leads to a principle of action substitution. We know what effects are necessary, and if nation states refuse to enact those via policies and companies likewise refuse to make any voluntary changes, then the only actions that remain to be taken are drastic direct actions. Simply put: the longer nations and corporations refuse to do anything to create livable futures, the more people will simply take direct action to achieve the needed carbon emissions reductions, because the alternative for them is death and that alternative is becoming clearer with each climate casualty, so it will be increasingly impossible to threaten them into giving up their lives for corporate profits.

Gen Z-ers are often accused of shrugging off work
— in fact, they say so themselves
— and who can blame them?
They’ve watched millennial workers burn out, wages stagnate, degrees turn worthless and institutions crumble.
Now, they’re entering what’s widely called the worst job market in years.
Almost half of recent college graduates are unemployed or underemployed.
The cost of living has soared;
buying a house feels impossible.
Who knows wh…

Tens of thousands of people in southeast Los Angeles County
have been engulfed in a dense cloud of smoke for nearly a week
as a fire continues to tear through a massive refrigerated warehouse in Boyle Heights.
Toxic air has covered the San Gabriel Valley and beyond at times,
as the fire continues to burn and the wind shifts the pall in different directions.
People have reason to be concerned about their loved ones breathing in the plume, experts say.

Sonnet 115 - CXV
Those lines that I before have writ do lie,
Even those that said I could not love you dearer:
Yet then my judgment knew no reason why
My most full flame should afterwards burn clearer.
But reckoning Time, whose million'd accidents
Creep in 'twixt vows, and change decrees of kings,
Tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharp'st intents,
Divert strong minds to the course of altering things;
Alas! why, fearing of Time'…

Hello Fedi lazyweb.
There will be a solar eclipse on August 12th (only partial in the UK) and I was wondering how to take photos of it.
A quick web search indicates that pointing a camera directly at the sun can be just as quick to burn out digital sensors as it is to burn out human retinas. And I don't want to do either!
I have some ISO-certified eclipse glasses for my eyes, does anyone have any suggestions for how to protect a camera lens (either a physical digital camera or a smartphone camera).
Thanks!
