#Cop28 #UAE What's it like in the host city?
"Welcome to the petrostate
Most delegates arriving at Cop28 will have entered the desert city of #Dubai along a 12-lane highway, reeking of #petrol fumes: welcome to the #petrostate of the United Arab Emirates. It’s not the first time the fossil-fuelled nature of the host nation’s economy has been an olfactory leitmotif for the #climate conference. In the Polish coal town of Katowice in 2018, Cop attenders were marinated in smoky aromas for the entire two weeks.
There are visual signs too. One delegate opened her hotel room curtains on her first morning to be greeted by the largest #gas power generation facility in the world: “Fitting. I am going to stare at this through the haze of pollution for two weeks.” And on heading into the conference centre on the metro, at least 50 tall industrial smokestacks mark the way."

When napping, remember that the most comfortable position for your hands/feet is to put them right in your sibling's face.
Alternately, if the angle makes it a bit awkward, just put your face up against theirs so you are breathing up each others' noses while you sleep.

Denial, yes. Maybe they are just sub-consciously redirecting that fear towards the "others" most likely to experience its effects.

Easter widow and Waterford's 1st female TD, Caitlín Brugha died #OTD in 1959. She was one of 5 women elected to Dáil Éireann in 1923 but like other Sinn Féin TDs, she didn't take her seat. She was re-elected in June 1927, campaigning on welfare of republican prisoners, but she didn’t stand in a second election that year.

For a male sexual assault survivor, justice won in U.S. court does not equal healing
For a male sexual assault survivor, justice won in U.S. court does not equal healing
Instead of being able to focus on recovery, Sam Schultz has been saddled with worries from other gay men that talking about sexual abuse in their community will hurt the fight for LBGTQ+ rights.CTVNews

Despite their false statements that defy reality, the cops/courts operate on culture not Justice, and their culture is harmfully biased:
- men are supposed to enjoy sexual abuse
- men don’t suffer domestic abuse
- men can’t be a parent
My buddy almost lost his children because he truthfully told the court about the physical and mental violence he (and the kids) suffered, the judge was mad because his claim is contrary to the endlessly destructive judicial culture.

She's actually the most gentle cat I've ever met and is the ONLY cat I've ever let play with hands. She never scratches and we play this game every single day.

Sorry, but "Elon is not smart" is drastic oversimplification.
In technology, he's one of .. probably 2-5 .. ultra-geniuses on the planet, who see *through* what-is, to *know* what *can be*.
In human-systems, he's incompetent.
The problem isn't that he is either completely-smart or completely-nonsmart,
rather, it is the fallacy of presuming that competence in 1 domain *automatically means in all*.
That is a fallacy written deeply into all of us.
Celebrity is a demonstration of that, btw...
He can do whatever he will: sooner or later, somebody will compete against him for the top-innovator spot...

Oh!
Please read Thomas Armstrong's book "7 Kinds of Smart, 2nd ed", on the 9 intelligences ( he kept the same title for the revision )!
It *nukes* that IQ somehow measures "intelligence quotient", identifying that it measures only *intellect* quotient.
( I'm autistic: I'm being blunter than he ).
He identifies intelligences systematically ignored by the IQ culture...
He's a Good Guy(tm)!
_ /\ _
Thanks for the novel. and no Elon's problem is not autism, I too am on the spectrum, itws the fact that as the quote says, "the day you get wealth or power is the day you stop maturing" He's always had money. and yes IQ if BS.
I was using smart in the colloquial term. He's smart at raising funds and kissing ass of the rich people. Literally that's all. When it comes to the actual work part of things he s a lazy sloppy idiot, and its all his workers that make things a success in spite of all his meddling.
His code was some of the absolute worst on paypal and the fact that he doesn't know how servers work says everything you need to know about his purchase of twitter and why its crashing.
