Undeniable evidence and multiple verified accounts of Hamas brutal rape on October 7th, confirmed by the New York Times: The first victim she said she saw was a young woman with copper-color hair, blood running down her back, pants pushed down to her knees. One man pulled her by the hair and made her bend over. Another penetrated her, Sapir said, and every time she flinched, he plunged a knife into her back. She said she then watched another woman “shredded into pieces.” While one terrorist raped her, she said, another pulled out a box cutter and sliced off her breast. “One continues to rape her, and the other throws her breast to someone else, and they play with it, throw it, and it falls on the road,” Sapir said. She said the men sliced her face and then the woman fell out of view. Around the same time, she said, she saw three other women raped and terrorists carrying the severed heads of three more women. Sapir provided photographs of her hiding place and her wounds, and police officials have stood by her testimony and released a video of her, with her face blurred, recounting some of what she saw. Yura Karol, a 22-year-old security consultant, said he was hiding in the same spot, and he can be seen in one of Sapir’s photos. He and Sapir were part of a group of friends who had met up at the party. In an interview, Mr. Karol said he barely lifted his head to look at the road but he also described seeing a woman raped and killed. nytimes.com/2023/12/28/world…

There's a deep sense of sadness and loneliness seeing this record shattering graph. November 17, 2023 was the first day in recorded history when the earth's surface was a whole 2°C hotter than pre-industrial times. Yet, there's barely any chatter about this staggering breach.

Provisional ERA5 global temperature for 17th November from @CopernicusECMWF was 1.17°C above 1991-2020 - the warmest on record. Our best estimate is that this was the first day when global temperature was more than 2°C above 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial) levels, at 2.06°C.

Der Terrorangriff der Hamas auf #Israel ist jetzt bald vier Wochen her. Vieles ist seitdem passiert, die öffentliche Debatte aufgeheizt und verworren. Im Video deshalb einige Gedanken von Vizekanzler und Minister Robert #Habeck zur Einordnung und Differenzierung.

Incredible to think that @GrowUp_Farms vertical farm allows produce to be grown all year-round, without pesticides, using 100% renewable energy, local farmers and considerably less land, waste and water. Here’s more from @HollyBranson: virg.in/wJnC

Hi ⁦@Garmin⁩ ⁦@GarminUK⁩ not happy about what happened to my watch there. I’ve only had it for 2 years, and it fell apart while I was running. Which, considering the fact it’s a watch for running, was somewhat surprising to me..
“The path [to victory] was clear, but it would have required that I enabled Trump’s ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system. That was a path I could not take. No office in this land is more important than the principles we are sworn to protect” theguardian.com/us-news/2022…
So upset about this decision. If like me you’re sitting in Europe, outraged, consider donating to @AbortionSupport. They help women in Europe who can’t get legal abortions in their countries to travel to get safe abortions abroad.
Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away. It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized. People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

@coinbase I didn’t sign up to an account with you but got an email saying I had. Not sure if it’s spam. How can I contact you to sort this out?

@coinbase hello…? Can you help me? Sent an email as well and nothing. If somebody is using my name to trade in your platform, as far as I see it, you’re in trouble.
Aaawww..

So much for moderate Taliban.
Saturday morning in Kabul: from today, Afghan boys from grade 7 are allowed to return to school. Girls are not. By not permitting girls to return to school, the Taliban have de facto banned girls’ secondary education for the 1st time since their regime in the 90s #Afghanistan

With the demand for forest carbon credits boiling, this is a very significant development: tropical forest nations defining the rules. I think we will see much more of this in the future.
>20 years of work on REDD+ has not mobilised scale of finance so desperately needed to stop #deforestation - seeing #Indonesia advance its own regulation & standards to align internationally is sign of things to come moving from rule maker to rule taker! foresthints.news/indonesia-f…
