WWF in their statement on IEA scenarios no longer calls to shut down #nuclear but merely don't build new ones:
> Assume no growth in nuclear energy production
This can be attributed to naive optimism based on fables of Mark Z. Jacobson, but the message got through: shutting down nuclear leads to CO2 increase.
This is actually very optimistic - reluctantly and slowly, but at least WWF is regaining contact with reality.

A powerful anti-fascist film which was seized by the Nazis and thought to have been lost forever is to receive its world premiere at the London film festival.
The 1931 film Europa, made in Warsaw by surrealist husband and wife Stefan and Franciszka Themerson, has gained mythical status in film history with several attempts to remake or reimagine it.
“Boys form the vast majority of all short suspensions (75.4%) and long suspensions (73.9%). […] This appalling reporting bias in the article ignores not only the predominate suspension of #boys from Australian schools, but the impact of this on the disengagement of boys from a hostile and misandrist Australian education system, reflected in the year 7-12 retention rate for female students of 88.0%, compared to 79.3% for boys (again based on NSW government schools 2019 data).”
“This erasure of boys from an analysis that should have acknowledged the extreme gendered nature of exclusion from #schools is consistent with the erasure of men and boys from other extremely gendered issues (suicide prevention, health, family) by ideologically biased academics, policy makers and service providers, and the erasure and abandonment of men and boys from humanitarian programs run by the UN, WHO, UNICEF and NGOs (i.e. Gates Foundation).”
“So, when we see […] the decreasing enrolments of young #men in universities and colleges, we must be aware, not just that the #misandry of our #education systems begins from pre-school education and continues through-out boys education experience, but that this is just one part of a larger endemic trend of erasing men and boys from analyses that should be identifying their urgent needs. An erasure that pretends issues that predominately impact men and boys are #gender neutral, or paradoxically impact women and girl more.”

I never really understood the interest in topics of "organic", "natural" shared with unapproved synthetic drugs, and the most disgusting pile of vile #covid lies this "Natural News" profile is sharing.
The thing is, if they are posting these, someone must be reading them. They have 2.2k followers on Fediverse alone.
What must be happening in these people's brains that they swallow this "natural" and "organic" and "buy budesonide" and "vaxssassination" bullshit *at the same time?* 🤔
Back in July, Taiwan had a small outbreak of Delta. This article tells how they contained it & also highlights some deficiencies in the govt's handling of the situation.

So I heard too much of knee-jerk takes about #ivermectin vs. #COVID-19, so I went on the Internet and read something that looks factual: https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/therapies/antiviral-therapy/ivermectin/
So:
- It's not just a horse dewormer, it's a legit drug against some tropical diseases.
- There are lab tests showing it inhibiting the replication of the Corona virus.
- There is however no evidence of it helping in real treatments. Probably because the efficient dose would be ~100 times higher than approved for people.

Two energy companies have already bankrupted in the UK 🇬🇧 as the fossil gas prices are reaching record high (overnight it exceeded 1400 EUR in UK).
Engineering community has warned about volatility of the gas price, and dependency of renewables on gas, but that has been ignored as the general public was fed "renewables powered 100% of the country for another 2 hours" fables 🤷
