Net zero will transform Britain’s economy – our map reveals the most vulnerable places
The most vulnerable places are, overwhelmingly, the same places that suffered industrial decline in the 1980s.

I don’t care if someone calls stuff “spaceflight” (though that usually includes portions of actual flight through air).
But if it’s for a scientific or technology discussion it’s hugely inaccurate and misleading.
In space, things always move in orbits, which is essentially more or less perpetually falling.
To make things go places (e.g. make a thing go to Mars), you change how it’s falling.

Donald Trump didn't say he wanted to fix elections everywhere out of some altruistic vision of a more free, more democratic society.
He said he wanted to take over the voting in at least 15 places.
We know that means he is targeting the specific cities, counties, and districts that saved American democracy in 2020 and that could destroy Republican majorities in November.
This is why Tulsi Gabbard was in Fulton County.

It’s possible that these vehicle swarms we’re seeing are more along those lines: making a show of “investigating” and arresting the regime’s political undesirables.
I’ll also repeat my guess that they’re going to keep trying to pump up their abduction count by targeting places like prisons and farms and industrial sites where the kidnappings won’t get filmed.
They wouldn’t be buying up all those concentration camps if the didn’t think they’re going to fill them.

The first time I ever really felt at home, comfortable and safe, was in an anarchist space in Seattle called "The Wildcat." It only existed for a few months, maybe a year, after I found it. Since then I've found similar places here in Amsterdam, and other places.
I want these places to be as comfortable, as much of a refuge, for everyone as they have been for me. Part of that is acknowledging and addressing the things they make physical and organizing spaces hostile.

Sometimes I feel that I could have my introduction much better. So I'll leave another piece here, and maybe one day I'll be able to find it again and use somewhere…
I'm a radical. I believe that every human has a right to dignity in life. Yes, even these people who allegedly "are too lazy to work".
I believe that everyone deserves safety, that nobody should be cold or starve, that everybody should be able to use a toilet or wash themselves, have access to healthcare and public transportation.
I think that restricting access to drinking water and toilets is a crime against humanity. The latter is also plain stupid, because it only leads to people using other places as toilets.
I'm so tired of the postsoviet labor cult (a kind of Polish thing). Seeing labor as a value in itself. Everyone must work, and it doesn't matter whether the work is actually beneficial, or outright harmful.
And last of all, I can't tolerate smokers. There is no excuse to harm yourself and everyone around you, just to satisfy your stupid addiction. And I'm also talking of all the random people who breathe all the toxins because smokers think they deserve to smoke everywhere, all the time.

The thing about ranting about other social networks is: it's not helpful to anyone other than maybe some temporary catharsis.

Basically ICE is keeping the StarTribune’s core constituency nice and comfy.
There are hints that pattern is eroding too, though, particularly in St. Paul.
