A power company that has received £6bn in UK green subsidies has kept burning wood from some of the world's most precious forests, the BBC has found.

    It's not that dumb because it can be a somewhat "closed system" for carbon capture. You grow trees that capture carbon, you burn them, releasing their carbon and you replace them with new trees and so on. Obviously it creates other problems like monoculture and such but as a non fossil "low carbon" energy source it could be locally interesting if you have space and water to spare.

    Enough, already: why humanity must get on board with the concept of ‘sufficiency’

    Yep, that's literally the whole point of capitalism, always more. Infinite growth in a finite system is impossible. And despite what some people are saying, we're definitely not in the part where exiting our finite system is viable.

  • Should i be giving a shit about my posture?

    Yes but not necessarily in the way you think. "Bad" posture is usually linked to weak muscles and lack of mobility/flexibility. If you strengthen/stretch your muscles and connective tissues, eventually it should help correct your posture.

  • With a budget of $120 million, Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis" grossed only $4 million on its opening weekend, making it one of the worst box office openings for a $100M+ movie to date.

    I still don't know if it was overly pretentious garbage or an enlightening allegory of the current state of the world. But watching it was definitely an experience. The cast is great, and I found it visually beautiful and interesting.

    My Kindle never saw any WiFi connected to it. Everything goes through Calibre. I only read dead authors, so I don't feel bad about pirating my books.
    Sometimes I go buy used books at my local bookshops just because you should support your local bookshop.

    Taxer les riches, un refrain plaisant mais pas suffisant

    Taxer les riches et réduire les aides envers les parasites (les riches et leurs entreprises). Puis redistribuer ça directement à ceux qui en ont vraiment besoin et qui utiliseraient l'argent plutôt que de le planquer à l'étranger. Ou indirectement via des services publics solides.

    Just saw it yesterday, it's pretty heavy handed with it's message indeed. Definitely an experience.

    spoiler

    It's a feud and a power struggle between a few members of a few families, all of which are extremely wealthy, and who keep us distracted from real life problems with "bread and games" all the while they live decadent lifestyles.

  • En voyant cette affaire remonter, je suis sérieusement en train de me poser la question sur l'issue des élections législatives. On a entendu parler de la victoire du RN à l'assemblée pour montrer à la population à quel point ils sont incompétents, ce qui entraînera leur défaite aux présidentielles de 2027. Avec l'affaire des dîners, est ce qu'on ne serait pas en réalité dans ce genre de scénario mais avec le NFP plutôt que le RN ? Pour l'instant, on a un président qui refuse de reconnaître la victoire (même si elle est mineure) du NFP, une coalition qui ne se fera probablement pas, un gouvernement pas encore formé et un premier ministre à qui on a refusé la démission. Le même président qui dîne (lui ou ses laquais, pas vraiment de différence) chez un bourgeois fraudeur multi récidiviste, avec des membres de la droite et de l'extrême droite, pour apparemment, "faire connaissance". Avec la machine de propagande bourgeoise qu'on a pu voir en action, toutes ces choses-là vont être récupérées et utilisées contre la gauche à un moment donné. Si le bilan du NFP est mitigé, soit par une éventuelle incompétence, soit par les bâtons dans les roues qu'ils auront pris, en 2027, leurs chances de remporter les élections seront très probablement nulles. Est ce que je fais de la paranoïa ou ce scénario semble plausible ?
