These are small calories (cal). The large or dietary calorie (Cal) is equal to one kilocalorie (kcal), and is gradually being replaced by the latter correct term.

I did not listen to myself.

Verslaggeefster van 1Vandaag noemt mensen die transgender jeugdzorg steunen een cult vergelijkbaar met Jehova’s getuigen, iedereen die er later uitvalt (detrans) wordt geëxcommuniceerd. Nou, dan weten we ook weer hoe neutraal de verslaggeving van 1Vandaag is 🙄

I wonder what percentage of urban trees are removed by house flippers. Anecdotally every time a tree in my neighborhood goes down it's to increase resale value.

There used to be two big trees behind my house (in my neighbors yards). Lost the first one a year ago, losing the other today

I'm beating a drum like, electronics isn't actually sorcery y'all,

The rise of ChatGPT-style "AI tools" is a climate change issue. Advertising them is, by extension, an attempt at disengaging our sense of alarm.

Therefore, "you need to adapt and learn these 'tools'" is an anti-climate stance. Companies that engage in marketing these tools *are* engaging in the politics of climate change, even if they don't know it yet.

can't believe i used to joke about mastodon needing discord-style now playing music statuses when #sharkey actually legiterally had those all along lmao

Punks from across Germany have set up a summer-long protest camp on the North Sea holiday island of Sylt to demonstrate against economic exclusion, environmental degradation and the presence of the far right in one of the country’s most exclusive areas.

For the third consecutive year, the young leftwingers with mohawks, torn T-shirts and facial piercings began descending on Sylt at the weekend, mainly by train, to disrupt the seasonal repose of the elites.

The Aktion Sylt pressure group said it aimed to make “safe retreats for fascist subsidy collectors, tax-evading Nazi heirs and backward world destroyers things of the past!”

Their presence has been registered with the authorities, who have ordered the encampment’s residents to sleep in tents, use chemical toilets and dispose of their own litter until the site is dismantled by midday on 6 September, said Hans-Martin Slopianka, a district spokesperson for North Frisia. …"

@gsuberland when I had really bad internet at an old place I lived, I used it purely to watch videos without YT player's buffering algorithm going crazy (by downloading the whole thing and waiting)
