Humainty comming together for one thing

zephyreks Mod , in Full text: China-France Joint Statement on the Situation in the Middle East

When titles are this non-descriptive, it might help to give a more descriptive title.

NanoooK ,

How is this title non-descriptive? It tells precisely what the content is about.

Mycatiskai , in Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem

Sound like something that terrorists would do.

Headline should be updated to "Israeli Terrorists set fires to perimeter of UNRWA headquarters in terrorist controlled east Jerusalem."

Sequentialsilence ,

Don’t even go that far, just say “Terrorists set fire to UN relief headquarters.” It’s just vague enough to rile up everyone no matter what side you’re on, you get clicks from all sides and you don’t end up with a mono ideological following.

autotldr Bot , in Record-breaking increase in CO2 levels in world’s atmosphere

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The largest ever recorded leap in the amount of carbon dioxide laden in the world’s atmosphere has just occurred, according to researchers who monitor the relentless accumulation of the primary gas that is heating the planet.

“It’s really significant to see the pace of the increase over the first four months of this year, which is also a record,” said Ralph Keeling, director of the CO2 Program at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

In June, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that global concentration of CO2 had hit 421ppm, a 50% increase on pre-industrial times and the highest in millions of years.

The rapid rise in the heat-trapping gas threatens the world with disastrous climate breakdown in the form of severe heatwaves, floods, droughts and wildfires.

Recent research has suggested that CO2 levels were last this high around 14m years ago, causing a climate that would appear alien to people alive today.

The previous record annual rise in CO2 took place in 2016, amid another El Niño event, which temporarily causes a spike in global temperatures.

Etterra , in Trinity College Dublin agrees to divest from Israeli firms after student protest

Chicago U had been going to divest, but then like shitheads did a 180.

VeganCheesecake , in Boeing 737 crashes during take-off in Senegal
@VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

737-300, so not a new plane. Don't think this has much to do with the current Boeing problems. Probably maintenance issues at the charter firm, or pilot error.

restingboredface ,

Yeah, some of these are just getting extra attention because the plane is a Boeing and media is on the lookout for it. (Probably) not Boeing's fault, but they will continue to be blamed for all issues on their planes until things are resolved with the investigation. Not exactly fair for Boeing, but they kinda brought this on themselves.

but they kinda brought this on themselves.

Well yea, that’s the point of taking aviation safety seriously. It’s frightening with many points of failure and disaster easily being fatal.

So unless there’s total diligence, the whole industry deserves to feel the heat. If we can’t easily handle corruption in areas of high risk, then we can’t have nice things. It’s pretty simple.

And the industry is affected and should care too. I don’t want to check what model of plane I’m boarding and then be faced with choosing between my ticket price and my life on the balance of probabilities I don’t know anything about. I just won’t fly instead.

ryannathans ,

Make sure you don't drive either because it's a lot more dangerous than flying

deadbeef79000 ,

Not while you're in a plane it isn't.

SkaveRat , in Xi Jinping blasts US/NATO for bombing China's embassy in Serbia

blasting, huh?

How does that compare to slamming or pounding?

NegativeInf ,

Certainly more or less than destroyed?

sfera ,

Why use big words when can use comic speak? Make brain no hurt! Boom!

HappycamperNZ ,

Davito has to be involved

bradorsomething , in David Cameron says UK will not follow US in withholding arms sales to Israel

Well it’s not like they starte….. oh yeah. Right.

Ltcpanic , in Trinity College Dublin agrees to divest from Israeli firms after student protest

Good job. Now was that so hard?

FreudianCafe , in Trinity College Dublin agrees to divest from Israeli firms after student protest

Is this the first one? Theyre all over the place now and its hard to follow up on all the camps

livus ,

I think it's the first in Ireland. It's a well respected university so very encouraging.

Whine more Pooh.

Dasus , in Ukraine parliament passes bill for prisoners to join army
@Dasus@lemmy.world avatar

Mobilisation would be voluntary and open only to certain categories of prisoners.

Among those not eligible to serve include those found guilty of sexual violence, killing two or more people, serious corruption and former high-ranking officials, Shuliak said.

Only prisoners with under three years left to serve on their sentence may apply, she said. Any prisoners who are mobilised would be granted parole rather than a pardon.

This is important context. Very much limited.

Still, I don't like this.

Olifant , in Biden admin isn’t fully convinced Ukraine can win, even with new aid

Within the context of this single aid package, of course Ukraine is not going to be winning anything, other than perhaps the objective of stabilizing their frontline situation. Hopefully this is a return to form after too many months of deliberate stalling by Putin's wing of the GOP.

Omega_Haxors ,

Americans will be like "we hate war, spend money on your own people" during times of peace but then scream "WHY ARENT WE SPENDING MORE ON WAR!?!?!" the instant one actually starts.

Amoxtli , in Biden admin isn’t fully convinced Ukraine can win, even with new aid

He is fully aware Ukraine can't win. His advisors tell him, including general Milley.

But gotta keep the charade going until the election is over.

@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Agree that they know, they always knew especially they had a significant hand in engineering that war, but i particularly wouldn't trust Milley about strategy and predictions, he was completely surprised by Russian intervention, he panicked and it was him who said that Russians will capture Kiev in 3 days (not Russia as libs are coping now).

Amoxtli , in US Agencies Say Putin Didn’t Order Navalny’s February Death

I didn't believe the initial claim that Putin will order a hit on a political enemy that is imprisoned in an isolated, frozen, environment.

It was incredible to see how people immediately latched on to this, really shows how easy it is to do propaganda when it's something people want to believe.
