Paraguay’s electricity mix is 100% renewable, powered almost entirely by large-scale hydroelectric.

Ich weiß ist auch klischeehaft, aber da ich deutschland und nationalismus wirklich hasse werde ich mich immer darüber freuen, wenn quote unquote wir mal wieder aus einem fußballturnier rausfliegen. Danke Paraguay, danke Japan 2022, danke Südkorea 2018

The three branches of the United States government, as delineated in the Constitution, are the God Emperor, The High Council of the Six Ayatollahs, and the Federal Reserve

Actual question is there any court anywhere that has such an expansive view of its own powers as the US Supreme Court. I mean in Roe v Wade it created an abortion law from whole cloth, Gorsuch seems here to see Congress as a nullity etc

i do think the average american would go insane when they realize that US "immigration judges" are also basically appointees with varying levels of actual experience

Missed this story last week

Filing "reactionary online shut-in dudes with the mass shooter personality stack are all talking about their new favorite movie and it's an Uwe Boll Death Wish knockoff made in Croatia" under gags I would have left in drafts in 2019.

no better example of how SCOTUS is wholesale just making shit up to get their desired outcome than these two cases

Sure, he doesn’t have a stable nor wide cult of personality and is visibly melting in front of our eyes while losing an unpopular war that is increasing the costs of living but simultaneously he is smashing through literally every piece of institutional dry wall constructed the *last century* lmfao

In den 1960er-Jahren entwickelten Bachrach/Baratz das Konzept der »Nicht-Entscheidungen«, um zu verstehen, wie in einer Gesellschaft und ihrer herrschenden Politik Sachverhalte verhandelt werden, die politisch nicht mehr zur Diskussion gestellt und nicht mehr eigens entschieden werden. /1

Unlike the Supreme Court majority, dust has a positive role in building soils with high moisture retention and restoring depleted essential nutrients.

I mean yeah English language literature and culture comes from the US not from England

Oh toll es gibt Klimaschuldhitzejammer-Debatte. Ist alles schon geklärt leute 10000signs.wordpress.com/2023/01/26/s...

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would

Dass die Regierung in der Hitzewelle so auffällig schweigsam war, liegt nicht zuletzt daran, dass Klimaanpassung nicht mit Austerität funktioniert. Sie kostet schlicht Geld. Wer davon partout nichts für Menschen ausgeben will, hat zu dem Thema einfach wenig zu sagen.

Hitzetote sind übrigens keine abstrakte Rechengröße. Allein an diesem Wochenende haben wir in der Klinik mehrere Patienten verloren, bei denen die extreme Hitze wesentlich zur Verschlechterung beigetragen hat. Das sind echte Menschen und reale Schicksale.

suboptimal to me that the richest man on the planet believes this

"Modernity" was the attempted conquering of the volatility of nature via technology and massive fossil fuel inputs. The rest of the 21st century will increasingly see what you could call volatility blowback caused by the fragility that this system of technology and fossil fuel inputs has produced

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

Shocking news: nachts sind alle Katzen grau

One of the most nefarious effects of the far-right conspiratorial bullshit about supposed persecution of Afrikaners is it obscures that the actual viscerally dangerous racism in SA right now unites Black and White racists in hatred of non-SA African immigrants, especially Zimbabweans + Mozambicans.

I've come around to deciding that it's actually good that they keep asking Zohran this question because it clarifies to the listener that a Jewish state and a state of all its citizens are not compatible and the people asking the question are implicitly acknowledging that they know that.

"In Deutschland ist den dritten Tag in Folge ein neuer Temperaturhöchstwert gemessen worden."

i feel a bit that the centrists dont quite realize the bargain that was made in turning "politics" into "media entertainment" ....the whole point of entertainment is no one is ever satisfied! what could polling the unsatisfiable audience about what entertainment would satisfy them even do!

France recorded ~1,000 excess deaths during the record-breaking heatwave this past week, with 85% of the deaths being people aged 65 and over. The sharpest increase are people dying at home in the Île-de-France region that includes Paris and its suburbs.

„Instead, the publisher posted a blank white page with the cryptic phrase, “This article has been withdrawn due to article violation.” Springer Nature is nevertheless still selling the empty PDF for $39.95.“ No idea, why most scientists hate the publishers. Total mystery.

Finde es ein bisschen schade dass die Positionen zum Tempelhofer Feld sind, entweder Häuser drauf zu bauen oder es so zu lassen, wie es ist. Wenn Sommer wie dieses Wochenende in den nächsten Jahrzehnten komplett normal sein werden, kann das Feld in seiner jetzigen Form doch keine Zukunft haben

Auch heute gilt:

Jesus. 68,900 reported missing in Venezuela.

South Louisiana likes to think North Louisiana doesn't exist but now Julia Letlow is gonna be in the senate and Mike Johnson is the speaker and South Louisiana's own monstrously evil humans are being lapped by the North

die hamburger polizei ignorierte die beobachtung des vaters und versteifte sich bei ihren ermittlungen darauf, dass taşköprü etwas mit der kriminellen unterwelt zu tun haben müsste. kein vergeben, kein vergessen.

CN mord, rassistische gewalt taşköprü wurde heute vor 25 jahren von den beiden nsu terroristen in seinem gemüsegeschäft erschossen. unmittelbar nach dem mord kehrte taşköprüs vater zum laden zurück – und sah noch zwei männer den laden verlassen. junge typen mit heller haarfarbe.

Wichtiger Hinweis zur korrekten Lektüre von Meinungsbeiträgen zur Lage der Nation:

Schulen und Pflegeheimen so gut wie keine Klimaanlagen geben wird. Die Nekropolitik, die Klimakatastrophe als einen ökonomischen Selektionsprozess versteht, der überflüssige menschliche Kostenfaktoren beseitigt, ist zwar noch weitgehend stumm, aber entschlossen.

Freiburg wird um eine Evakuierung der Uniklinik wohl gerade noch herumkommen, wenn die Temperaturen ab Montag sinken. Aber man kann sicher sein, dass dieses und andere Krankenhäuser danach nicht hitzesicher gemacht werden, dass auch im nächsten Jahr nichts passiert sein wird, dass es in

Wir gedenken: Heute vor 25 Jahren, am 27. Juni 2001, wurde Süleyman Taşköprü im Lebensmittelgeschäft seiner Familie in #Hamburg vom #NSU ermordet. Er wurde 31 Jahre alt und hinterließ eine Tochter. Hamburg ist bis heute das einzige NSU-Tatortland ohne Untersuchungsausschuss. #KeinSchlussstrich

Not to add to *the discourse* but one way in which Fahrenheit doesn't make "intuitive sense" (as Americans sometimes argue) to Europeans is that the "0 is very cold and 100 is very hot" just is not true for just about anywhere in Europe; almost no place here experiences either even semi-regularly

I don't think suburbs as a rule have a low quality of life or nothing about them that is valuable to the people in them, I do think they foist a ton of negative externalities onto everyone else, like car dependence and parasitic tax relationships with the job centers in the urban core

Fat dogs are never satisfied.

Just book your doctor's appointment on doctolib. Our doctor's office is literally on clickdoc. You can probably find us on zocdoc. Don't call our office, just make the appointment on betterdoc

Conversely if people wonder why AC rollout can be sluggish in Europe, one reason is that a lot of housing stock here is literally twice as old as 99% of Singapores housing stock; and in in 1960 Singapore *already had a tropical climate*, while 40° C summers were not exactly on anyone's radar here

Also funny how the "cultural" explanation is usually a bunch of stereotypes someone made up in their head. I will trust American ideas about Europe roughly as much as European ideas about America.

In 2019 I asked the CEO of one of the large German auto firms about the potential job losses from the shift to EVs (fewer parts, fewer assembly steps). He said "not our problem" about suppliers. But evidently it is their problem, even at the assemblers.

Australia fans did an "Aussie Boys are on a bender / Donald Trump's a sex offender" chant in Seattle and everyone's reaction was "Yep, that's true."
