Only recently, I watched The Wind Rises and I loved it. I do not know what it is. It still has the sensitivity and the aesthetics of Ghibli under Miyazaki, which I genuinely love, but at the same time shows a confusing and unobvious real-life story, and very real dilemmas.

Thanks, that is an amazing resource! You can see yearly emissions, which are statistics. And when you click on a country/region, you get the breakdown by energy source for the electricity grid.

Note: Living in Sweden, I am still Polish, and looking at this map is embarrassing to say the least...

I care about two things with the sanctions.

1. Do not buy Russian gas and oil.
2. Do not sell weapons and weaponizable items to Russia. Prevent loopholes where Russia can get the weapons through third countries. And ofc support Ukraine, militarily and generally.

And yes, do not expect change from within coming just from the suffering of the people in the East. Support the opposition and independent media channels. As a Polish, I understand how important that was during the Cold War. But do not have your hopes too high for a quick fix.

I understand, that the data here is per capita, but I thought even per capita in Europe, and especially in Sweden, we install little compared to the rest of the world.

The three leading countries share borders with Russia or Belarus. Is this recognition of the security and resilience advantages of deploying millions of solar panels and thousands of wind turbines compared with a few large fossil and nuclear power stations?

Wow, this is very different from the view media gave me.

I live in Sweden. The perspective from the media was, for me, that Sweden has stagnated in renewable energy, while the UK, Spain, and some other countries lead the way in Europe. And that while Europe was first in the renewable game, it is now in the developing countries that most action happens.

The data from this report shows that basically all of my claims from the previous paragraph are wrong.

No opinion here about the state of development, just amazement how misleading the media narrative have been for me.

Thanks for sharing!

As Europe remilitarizes, I want drones that can drop bombs on Russian tanks as well as drop water/sand/flame-retardant bombs on burning forests.

How about:

We support Ukraine

We drop Russia (we don't need that gas and oil anyway, it's 2025, we have the technology to ditch fossil fuels, common!) as long as Putin and other fascists like him are in power.

We negotiate and trade with China. We do not support it, but we do not actively fight it either. We try to push it further from Russia if possible.

Dropping China altogether does not seem plausible in the near future. We need to learn how to deal with China. We have a lot of leverage, especially with Trump in power and the trade war escalating further after stagnation under Biden.

No, I meant specific means. But if you have something good for templates, I can take it as well (but that seems to work OK on search engines).

Okay, a side note here:

apart from Brazil’s President Lula da Silva, Xi was the only major world leader to attend the parade.

Can smb explain Lula's stance on Putinist Russia?

I guess it would take a lot of time to accommodate Mars for trees. More than for algae ;)

显然，DeepL 也有简体中文。它为我自动选择了简体中文。这样看起来更好吗？

Let the 5-year-old watch Shrek or sth.

Subversive. By mocking an extreme, you want to avoid the main issue here: Marvel is a toxic shithole normalized by aggressive marketing.

I upvote because the flowers look cool, no idea what Faygo is though

I don't get it, why you have a line of crisps next to the sandwich? And why would you have cold food with cola?

You can check https://slrpnk.net/ and the communities hosted there.

In general, it has a broader environmentalist and anarchist vibe. It has many communities focused on outdoors, nature, gardening, DIY, etc.

I mean, yes, inaccuracy is another issue here. But I assume "the most numerous" means better than average, or at lest not the worst in its category (unless you actually standardize for the time since divergence, then there are probably some niche microbial taxa, some rare extremophiles, that are actually less numerous; still, surely worse than average).

The heads are outside the EU's jurisdiction. But I would like to see the EU showing it has the power to limit a company's activities on the common market if they do not follow the rules (idk how exactly, I guess hard bans would be very, very difficult to implement in this case).

Can I blog there without putting up a paywall? (I could still accept donations if they really need that, not that I would expect many ¯_(ツ)_/¯)
