The #DeadBird is utterly dystopian.

Good thing he loves you, Mothra!

I don't think his idea of moral is quite the same as most people's idea of it.

#AMOC #ClimateChange

When the AMOC ends the consequences for much life on this planet will be devastating. Oh it won't be as sudden as what is pictured in the movie The Day After Tomorrow, but it will be very bad.

“The collapse time is estimated between 2037-2064,” they say. “The probability of an AMOC collapse before the year 2050 is estimated to be 59 per cent ± 17 percent.”

That’s well within the lifespans of the majority of people alive today.

Apparently Mr Free Speech Absolutist has a problem with this word.

Weird.

Not only is Temu a security risk for your digital stuff its actually selling you fake products which come with fake product testing certificates

Almost everything you purchase on Temu will be a fake copy of an original product

Hooking people by making it look like you are in a game when purchasing fake products = addiction way higher than purchasing stuff from other sites even gambling sites aren't as addictive as Temu

ICYMI

TEMU app software has the full array of characteristics of the most aggressive forms of malware /spyware.

Meanwhile: #Proton #VPN

Proton VPN's anti-censorship Stealth protocol finally works on Windows. Proton VPN is also expanding its free service to 12 more countries and introducing an icon-customization feature for Android.

Proton VPN's Stealth protocol is designed to protect users who face internet censorship. It disguises VPN traffic as "normal" internet traffic, thereby preventing governments from identifying citizens who bypass censorship

Before you ask why storm victims didn’t evacuate despite warnings of catastrophic flooding, please consider that many folks don’t have cars, have no family or friends to stay with, can’t afford gasoline or hotels, don’t dare risk losing their jobs because they can’t return in time, can’t safely evacuate their elderly loved ones, won’t leave without their pets, or they have legitimate health concerns about staying in shelters. Poor shaming them during a catastrophe is not a good look. #Debby
