NJ was engulfed in smog from Canadian wildfires back in the summer of 2023. I don’t think our AQI ever passed 500, and it was difficult to go outside even briefly without feeling the effects back then. I can’t begin to imagine what an AQI over 1,200 is like.

Was wondering what you meant before reading the story. In case others are curious

What makes this move even more shocking is that Off Radio Kraków is not a private channel. It’s a state-owned station run by taxpayers’ money, according to Demski. His open letter has also caught the attention of ministers in the Polish government.

The earth’s core is just a giant pistachio

Joya previously teamed with A24 to create candles based on the butt plug trophy in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

The fuck

I guess the US is hoping events like this will result in internal conflict that may somehow result in regime change?

I worry for the people of Cuba, it’s a shame what they’ve been saddled with due to international relations that are outside of their control.

Just did some reading on the history of UNIFIL, here’s some highlights

In February 2021, Lebanese journalist and opponent of Hezbollah Lokman Slim was abducted and murdered by Hezbollah while in a UNIFIL-controlled area of Lebanon.

An official source within the Lebanese government informed Al Jazeera that, despite UNIFIL’s shortcomings, the force had been responsible for regularly hosting and mediating negotiations between Lebanese and Israeli forces, helping to defuse tensions.

On 6 April 1980, clashes between UNIFIL peacekeepers and the South Lebanon Army, an Israeli-backed Lebanese militia, began when the SLA attacked Irish troops based in At Tiri. The Irish soldiers held their ground and called in Dutch and Fijian peacekeepers as reinforcements. The battle ended on 12 April when the Dutch contingent employed TOW missiles against the SLA. During the battle, two UNIFIL peacekeepers were killed: Stephen Griffin, a 21-year-old Private from the 46th Irish Battalion, from Rahoon in County Galway, and Sevati Sovonaivalu of the Fijian Army. One SLA soldier, 19-year old Massoud Bazzi, was also killed.[239][240]

That’s some serious malpractice

Luka has tried to play both sides for a while, although he’s turned more eastward as the west has shunned him more for the Ukrainian invasion support. Maybe this is an attempt at rapprochement?

I don’t know what whales ever did to Japan. Is this Japan trying to get other nations to whale on their behalf?

This is how we end up with snow crash.

People fear the unknown, and that’s before you factor in all the FUD the big players are spreading to try to get themselves some regulatory moats

I haven’t touched the game in a few months, I’ll probably come back to see what’s up with the dlc. Pretty weird/funny bug though

Saw Devin Townsend, Opeth, Gojira, and Mastodon in Philly. That was a good show. I think Mastodon was having sound trouble at one point because a could see Brent getting increasingly mad at his crew over the course of a few songs. He ended up smashing a monitor between songs halfway through the set. That was pretty metal

I use an Xbox which admittedly does have some ads on the Home Screen but isn’t as intrusive as something like the fire tv full screen autoplay ads. If Microsoft makes it any worse I would probably switch to an Apple TV. Open to other suggestions from others though.

Mine sure hasn’t. There’s no need to network any smart tv

I smell a fellow analyst. You should cross post this over at !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world, it’s a bigger community.

I’m surprised Australia isn’t an outlier too

So the flu is bourgeoisie because pharma makes vaccines I guess

Is that carpet on a railing?
