  • Russian officials continue to accuse Ukraine of committing genocide. On Monday, Russia repeated allegations that the "Russophobic and neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv" was using the United Nations' 1948 Genocide Convention, to which both countries are a party, as a pretext to "drag" a case before the court.

    This strategy of accusing the other side of exactly what you’re doing is so blatantly obnoxious. This sounds the exact same as “Black Lives Matters was the real insurrection”

  • Dr Caroline Holmes at the British Antarctic Survey explains that the impacts of shrinking sea-ice may become evident as the season transitions to summer - when there's potential for an unstoppable feedback loop of ice melting.

    Even modest increases in sea levels can result in dangerously high storm surges that could wipe out coastal communities. If significant amounts of land ice were to start melting, the impacts would be catastrophic for millions of people around the world.

    Buckle up kids, this ride’s about to get bumpier.

  • Not defending studios, fuck them, pay your talent

    I think they’re thinking they can patch this over with reality tv (or at least they did in the last writer’s strike), documentaries, and with international content. I’m betting Netflix is shifting a ton of money towards the Asian and European markets for next year’s content.

  • Christiane Amanpour has reported all over the world, so she recognizes a democracy on the brink when she sees one.

    “We have to be truthful, not neutral,” she urged. “I would make sure that you don’t just give a platform … to those who want to crash down the constitution and democracy.”

    It’s a great suggestion, which will be summarily ignored by every major tv news outlet.

  • Fashion trends seem to follow a 20 year cycle, and a 30 year cycle, where ‘90s trends are coming back into fashion.

  • Regular maintenance, reinforcements and retrofitting can extend a dam’s safe operation well past 100 years and bring a structure up to current standards, Perera and Shannon say. But many dams don’t receive routine repairs and are not aging gracefully. Just making the recommended fixes to most U.S. dams would cost an estimated $157.5 billion dollars, according to a 2023 report from the Association of State Dam Safety Officials.

    So much of today’s news feels like we’re frogs in a pot of boiling water.
