Named himself “President of the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland” according to another article.

He needs a couple promotions until he's on a similar level as His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, Victoria Cross, Distinguished Service Order, Military Cross, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.

So much pomp in that one. I’m a fan of Norton I. Emperor of the United States, and Protector of Mexico. Rolls off the tongue and can be delivered between bites of fruity pebbles cereal.

Always a good sign to see “the Homeland” in the any title…

Hope he’s alright.

He’s been eating ice treats all this time. Lost a few pounds. Made a few penguin friends.

    They should pay people to be gay in the most populous country in the world

    iegod , to world in Grandma refused bus ride suffered horror injuries

    This is tragic. I feel so sad for her and her family.

    OldWoodFrame , to news in Shush emojis and orders from the boss - new Trump charges in full

    He told one co-worker the trip was for a family emergency and used “shushing” emojis, the court documents allege.

    This reads like that Eli Manning SNL sketch where his murder alibi is that he was at home sending horny texts. So funny to read out emojis in a court document.

    JesusTheCarpenter , to world in Grandma refused bus ride suffered horror injuries

    I thought that they were being a bit dramatic with the usage of “horror injuries”… I changed my minde after reading the article.

    some_guy ,

    Same. I expected some hyperbole, but that’s a nightmare come real.

    CoderKat , to world in Grandma refused bus ride suffered horror injuries

    Even if she didn’t have a pass or was the person who didn’t pay last time (the driver was mistaken), they never should have closed the door while a person was in them.

    Even if the door had managed to detect she was still in the way, the door closing on her could have injured her. And there’s surely always something that could get stuck in the door without the sensor detecting it. If not a walking stick like this case, then a thin piece of clothing.

    Probably a very stupid question: Could Turkey’s Internet censorship (like DNS blocking) have any effect on the alert system?

    We reap what we sow.

    ElegantBiscuit ,

    I’d argue that a lot of people are reaping what a much smaller number people have sown. Not to say that we all don’t hold some blame in some part, but some are significantly more to blame than others. An emissions per capita map overlaid with a projected impact from climate change map explains it well.

    ickplant ,
    @ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

    I would agree with that.

    @massive_bereavement@kbin.social avatar

    It's challenging to set who's really responsible for climate change, as we could say someone living in suburbia and driving a SUV, while owning three cars and voting for a party that subsidizes coal has definitely a lot of blame.

    However someone who has been born in said situation yet moved to the city, uses public transportation and do their best to reduce their impact can't really be rolled in the mix with it.

    Slowly but gradually the earlier will keep dying and fading out while the latter will push towards greener, less impactful approaches, however once that happens it will already be 50 years late.

    The fact that megafires are here to stay and probably worsen with every year makes that 1.5c almost impossible due the amount of CO2 it releases.

    Zeth0s ,

    Megafires has always been there in that part of Europe, simply no one cared. Now they are spreading further north…

    Zeth0s ,

    Link is broken. What I am trying to say is that megafires are pretty much the norm in south of spain, Sicily, Sardinia, greece. They are endemic there. Rhese regions have always had to strictly control on the territory because of such fire. What is happening there is that ongoing economical crisis, that is getting worse, there is no money for such a strict territorial control. But those places were already a bbqs ready to light. Now governments are poorer to prevent and interviene properly.

    The main problem of climate changes is that it is extending north the region where these fires happen. Up to places previously unheard such as switzerland! That is the real proof that something bad is going on.

    In the past, in south of Italy only Sardinia Sicily and Calabria were BBQs in summer. Now even places northern than that have become at high risk.

    This is morbidly fascinating. Also extremely good pictures.

    e: While all of the photos are great, this one struck me in particular:
