Folks this can't be happening 🔥👀

A UN study shows that freshwater fish populations worldwide have crashed by about 81% since 1970. Let that sink in. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@RealTadzioM Belege gibt es eh nicht. Aber nehmen wir an, es war eine linke Gruppe. Gelten nach deiner Definition solche Aktionen als "links", die so viel Kollateralschäden in der Zivilbevölkerung mit sich bringen, bzw. so viel Ablehnung unter den betroffenen hervorruft?

Liebe Linke: wir müssen *die Möglichkeit* akzeptieren, dass der Brandanschlag, der zum großen Stromausfall führte, von Linken durchgeführt wurde. D.h. nicht, dass wir die Aktion gut finden müssen. Aber das "IT WAS A FALSE FLAG" ohne jeglichen Beleg ist reine Verschwörungstheorie.

@RealTadzioM Welche "Linke" sabotiert die Stromversorgung für die Zivilbevölkerung im tiefsten Winter? So hinverbrannt kann ja keine/r sein. Scheint mir eher eine klassische #falseflag-Aktion, um linke/öko-Ansätze zu diskreditieren.

Ehrliche Frage: Liebe Genoss*innen, wie stehen wir eigentlich hierzu? "In einem Bekennerschreiben bezeichnet die #Vulkangruppe den Brandanschlag als 'Akt der Notwehr' & 'gemeinwohlorientierte Aktion'." Fände wichtig, dass wir das miteinander diskutieren. tagesspiegel.de/berlin/tatortf…

@RealTadzioM Gasetagenheizungen fallen auf jeden Fall aus.

Apropos Stromausfall in Teilen Berlins, ne praktische Frage: was fällt denn eigentlich alles aus, wenn der Strom in einem größeren Stadtteil ausfällt? - wie sieht's mit Wasser (Pumpen) aus, fließt das noch in den Wohnungen? - zB moderne Gasherde: funktionieren die ohne Strom?

@hoyer_kat Looks like "Zur Fähre"?

Found a lovely example of a classic German "Kneipe" or pub in Stralsund last night. As elsewhere, these places are struggling and many are closing. There is even a German compound noun for the phenomenon of dying pubs: "Kneipensterben". Long may this one continue to survive 🍻

2025 RECORD WORST YEAR EVER FOR CO2 Global Carbon Project: Record fossil fuel CO2 emissions Record rate of atmospheric CO2 increase With no action on emissions- except to keep increasing (governments still subsidizing fossil fuels!) the future is grim, only getting worse Collapse has started and is picking up speed essd.copernicus.org/preprints/essd… #globalwarming #emissions. #climatechange

“Ten years ago we had a more orderly path for staying away from 1.5 °C, with low or no #overshoot. Now we have failed,” @jrockstrom tells AP. “Without carbon dioxide removal it is simply impossible to manage the overshoot scenario,” says Ottmar #Edenhofer apnews.com/article/un-cop…

Greenland losing 30m tonnes of ice an hour, 20% more than previously thought This is weakening critical ocean current AMOC which is at its weakest in 1,600 years A weakening and inevitable collapse of AMOC will hugely impact climate in Europe and beyond irishtimes.com/environment/cl…

Australia’s unprecedented toxic algal bloom annihilate marine life The bloom has impacted some 20,000 square kilometers and about 30% of the coastline of South Australia, and it shows no sign of abating. science.org/content/articl…

“By whipping the full force of the state to support Israel, Germany has unleashed dark spirits from its past.” Journalist @derJamesJackson breaks down Germany’s crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, noting the similarities of the state violence to the 1920s.
