The rich want us all dead and will cook this planet to do it

!apologiafreenews@lemmy.world For anti-imperialism and banning apologia for the agressors of this world

Sounds like ObjectNow is a proponent of much higher taxes on the wealthy. How else will the public sector pay for all this needed capacity?

Object now should be investigated for harassment

One application for new homes in the English midlands was reportedly the subject of more than 500 email objections from one local resident, including a 160-page report full of errors and hallucinations (when AI generates false, misleading or fabricated information).

The Energy Consents Unit (ECU) – the team within the Scottish Government which handles applications for projects such as wind farms and pylon lines – now only accepts objections from the public through its own online portal or by post.

Sounds reasonable. If it matters to you that much, that's a minor hurdle to overcome.

“A publicly funded department of the Scottish Government should have the technology, staffing and capacity to process any number of objections or representations submitted, regardless of how they are prepared or delivered,” the ObjectNow spokesperson added.

Fuck off, that's a blatant waste of public funds.

It's just a hanging, inflammatory statement that says literally nothing about the actual content of what you are linking to. It is literally clickbait

conservatives: SeE, she was nOt afraid for her LiIfE!! JUSTIFIED EXECUTION!!! (read: fucking murder)

It’s click bait in the same way that the victim was a domestic terrorist 👍

Downvoted for clickbait title.

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

I will keep Dong Yaoqiong's name and share it with the world.

China is such a nightmare dictatorship. Neatly glossed over with capitalistic dressings but the underbelly is a nightmare. And not to pick on just China. But this article is about them so, there it is.

A wrong take is not a "balanced take".

To repeat the reply to the comment there:

You forgot one thing. If the nationalists had won, you'd say there's only one China and no "independent Taiwan".

You're repeating Chinese propaganda.

A more balanced take:

“the inertia of the Italian and EU governments”. There are subtle differences to the definition of inertia, but I think this one is the best in this situation: resistance or disinclination to motion, action, or change. The same could be said about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Putin and Xi discuss immortality, while forced transplants remain a problem in China

[...] activist groups contend that despite the adoption of new regulations, organ transplants from prisoners or members of certain ethnic groups will continue, and will certainly not put an end to transplant tourism in China.

As recent as 2021, United Nations human rights experts expressed concern about reports of “organ harvesting” from specific groups, including Falun Gong practitioners, who have long been persecuted by Beijing, and members of ethnic and religious minorities, such as “Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims and Christians, in detention in China.”

In a statement, UN rapporteurs reported that “experts said they have received credible information that detainees from ethnic, linguistic or religious minorities may be forcibly subjected to blood tests and organ examinations such as ultrasound and X-rays, without their informed consent; while other prisoners are not required to undergo such examinations. The results of the examinations are reportedly registered in a database of living organ sources that facilitates organ allocation.” [...]

Killing prisoners for transplants: Forced organ harvesting in China

[...] Organ transplantation is a life-saving therapy for millions of patients and one of the greatest successes of modern medicine. However, a limited supply of donor organs, paired with a massive demand for transplants, has fuelled the global organ trafficking industry which exploits poor, underprivileged and persecuted members of society as a source of organs to be purchased by wealthy transplant tourists.

Although this practice occurs in many countries, the situation in China is particularly concerning. China is the only country in the world to have an industrial-scale organ trafficking practice that harvests organs from executed prisoners of conscience. This practice is known as forced organ harvesting.

I thought this post was about the age checking requirement from the UK govt., but on reading it's the USA (I thought I saw instance was .ca)).

I think a change in MSM's coverage of the US presidential race (and of Biden/Harris in particular) could have made a world of difference

We're past the point where a change in their behavior could have made a difference.

If the fascists can keep them afraid and not reporting as they should, I consider that control.
