‘Countries are drowning’: climate expert calls for urgent rethink on scale of aid for developing world
World needs to offer trillions, not billions in overseas support, says leading climate economist Avinash PersaudFiona Harvey (The Guardian)
A low internal sense of self and a need to be wanted are what ties Trump & Trumpers together.
Outlandish costumes scream "Here I am, look at me" and Trump's penchant for grandiosity (ie inflating crowd size) lead me to believe -
These people were not shown love as children. The effects of this are seen in their actions as adults.
NEED ME...SEE ME!

From WaPo:
"Meanwhile, we found several media outlets that rank low on NewsGuard’s independent scale for trustworthiness: RT.com No. 65, the Russian state-backed propaganda site; breitbart.com No. 159, a well-known source for far-right news and opinion; and vdare.com No. 993, an anti-immigration site that has been associated with white supremacy.
"The top Christian site, Grace to You (gty.org No. 164), belongs to Grace Community Church, an evangelical megachurch in California. Christianity Today recently reported that the church counseled women to 'continue to submit' to abusive fathers and husbands and to avoid reporting them to authorities."

Pew: 31% of American adults say they regularly get news from Facebook.
So either #Meta and Americans define news differently, the small amount of news shared on #Facebook has an outsized impact, or likely, a bit of both.
That said, during the last two multi-hour Facebook outages, direct and total visitors to our legacy local news sites went up.
It’s more evidence that communities will seek out impactful content.

Give Up #GitHub: The Time Has Come!

Specifically, we at Software Freedom Conservancy have been actively communicating with #Microsoft and their GitHub subsidiary about our concerns with “Copilot” since they first launched it almost exactly a year ago. Our initial video chat call (in July 2021) with Microsoft and GitHub representatives resulted in several questions which they said they could not answer at that time, but would “answer soon”. After six months of no response, Bradley published his essay, If Software is My #Copilot, Who Programmed My Software? — which raised these questions publicly. Still, GitHub did not answer our #questions.#opensource #activism #freedom #protest #software #news #coder #development #gpl #decentralisation
