We have not seen anything like it. We can't compare this looming heat emergency to summer 1976.
A warmer world, thanks to human induced climate change, makes it almost effortless to break extreme heat thresholds. We continue to see this across the planet - not just in Europe.
The global average temperature for June 2022 was about 0.32ºC higher than the 1991-2020 average, which makes it the 3rd warmest June on record, according to data from @CopernicusECMWF@twitter.com.
Climate change affects us all. So we must maintain our ambitious climate goals.

Reading on how identity detracts from solutions to fighting #capitalism ill effects on society. e.g., "defund the police" ignores the systemic aspects driving the police repression of the poorer classes, which are disproportionately minority.
I can't disagree. We need to attack the root.
So back in 2020 Codeberg asked for help from the community to help them with #accessibility issues. They need some help in house as the current solution helps them manage the spam that would overwhelm signups, but their moderation team is small. CAPTCHAs aren't very accessible and they would like some help to fix this. #a11y Can anyone help? The linked toot is their request for help.

Hi fellow Mastodon admins,
we received a somewhat dodgy e-mail from "Mastodon Survey Admin" <postmaster@oldnewstreet.com> with the subject: "Mastodon State of the Fediverse (July 2022) Survey" today. Our reply was bounced by mailgun.org because "Recipient rejected", so we are posting it here:
```
Hi Ashley,
we are not going to take part in your survey because …
– you do not mention who commissioned this survey
– you do not mention who you work for
– you do not clarify which group you refer to in "on our behalf"
– you use a survey service that includes Google trackers in violation
of the GDPR (applicable law of the European Union).
Greetings from Bielefeld, Germany!

As Agile Scrum teaches devs and managers that an 8 hour day only results in 6 productive hours, how long before 996 becomes the software working norm in all countries?
Is it too much of a stretch to believe capitalism will lead companies to create new illnesses, they can then cure for profit?
COVID-19 is considered likely man-made due to it's gain of function properties, but unlikely to be intentionally released. However, it's effects will likely be studied for potential future profit possibilities.

Banned and challenged books.
Two right-wing hipsters spent six years making a documentary series for #HBO on 'anarcho'-capitalists living in a resort town in #Mexico. The first episode is centered around a right-wing crypto-bro anti-Semite who pushes conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and features clips from none other than Milo Yiannopoulos and Keith Preston, known for speaking alongside Richard Spencer at white nationalist conferences. Fuck this AnCap trash.
