#Cumbriacoalmine fact 4:
This mine will pump 9 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere *every year*
That's more emissions than Edinburgh, Cardiff & Belfast combined
We're in a climate emergency - we must #keepitintheground

So Nelson Piquet has been in the news. He was bashing Lewis Hamilton in a podcast over his coming together with Max Verstappen at Silverstone last year, but referred to Hamilton twice using the N-word.
Today I learned that Max has been dating Kelly Piquet since October 2020, Nelson's daughter.
The F1 world and media have rallied behind Hamilton to roundly condemn the use of racist language in sport (and wider society) as they should.
Puts Kelly and Max in a very awkward situation though.
The repeal of Roe should be treated as December 7 or 9/11. As a brutal assault by right wing authoritarian religious zealots. It is an all hand on deck moment. Democrats and other voters have to do more than just show up in November in numbers greater than they did in 2020. They have to become civically engaged. They should be fighting as if they were Ukrainians defending themselves against Putin’s Russia. We have seen progress rolled back in other countries like Germany, Iran, Afghanistan.
If Rishi Sunak’s £1.9 billion subsidy for fossil fuels isn’t “technically” a subsidy, does that mean it won’t “technically” produce CO2 emissions…? https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/rishi-sunak-oil-fossil-fuel-tax-break-b2106851.html

We’re Not Going Back to the Time Before Roe. We’re Going Somewhere Worse
We are entering an era not just of unsafe abortions but of the widespread criminalization of pregnancy.
A reminder for those of you who happen to be unlucky enough to live in the US right now with #RoeVsWade overturned:
Uninstall any proprietary period tracking apps you might have – they *will* snitch on you.
Use drip instead, its fully open source and doesn't include trackers[1].
