Inside the nuclear influence machine
Is the push for nuclear power in Australia more stalking horse for coal than a genuine alternative for a clean energy future? Here’s how the nuclear cabal is working its pitch

As we careen into ongoing climate catastrophes, nuclear will keep being a parasite and the risks increase, and society less capable of dealing with nuclear problems we are not even dealing with now in adequate ways.

Update: "...Energoatom said on May 23 that workers had restored the main external power line to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant after earlier warnings that it was disconnected.

The plant is now connected to two powerlines, Energoatom said."

So the anti-abortionists will leave them alone until the aliens come out when they get their eggs planted by the aliens?

doomscroller, 28 days ago

@kotaro They wait until they're born and then take them out in their pickup truck to watch their eyes as they shoot them in a quarry.

Finnair suspends flights to Tartu for a month
"GPS interference has increased since 2022, and Finnair pilots have reported interference especially near Kaliningrad, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean"

@ideogram
It seems just GPS and may be centred around Kaliningrad, that Russian enclave (for the Baltic GPS interference). A bit of a longer explanation here. I'm not very knowledgeable about all this.

This is a pic of interference according to this post:

A pleasure. That map may be from earlier jamming, and according to Markus Jonsson, the one affecting Finnair may be closer to St Petersburg. Lots of different posts on their page on this at the moment. https://nitter.poast.org/auonsson

4 more cats test positive for H5N1 bird flu in the U.S.

"Three of the new cases were found at two dairy farms in Curry County, New Mexico and all of them died, "
It's not a good iddea to have it spread through other mammals either, so that it can go down different paths of evolution than it may have otherwise too.

@dan613
Yeah, on a dairy farm it could easily happen, also probably just as easy to get from walking around the yard with cow dung etc. and then preening after or something.
