Eating less meat 'like taking 8m cars off road'

A new Oxford University study pinpoints for the first time how high- and low-meat diets impact the planet.

Prof Scarborough surveyed 55,000 people who were divided into big meat-eaters, who ate more than 100g of meat a day, which equates to a big burger, low meat-eaters, whose daily intake was 50g or less, approximately a couple of chipolata sausages, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans.

The analysis is the first to look at the detailed impact of diets on other environmental measures all together. These are land use, water use, water pollution and loss of species, usually caused by loss of habitat because of expansion of farming. In all cases high meat-eaters had a significantly higher adverse impact than other groups.

In solidarity with the women of Iran who are protesting the death of Mahsa (Jina) Amini and for the right to bodily autonomy.

As the government tries to shut down access to the internet and protests, several artists have decided to take a stand to raise awareness  Thank you Aria del Sole for inspiring me to join in. From the artists who started this online protest: What is happening in Iran right now: On 16th of september 2022, Mahsa “Jina” Amini died after being detained and beaten by the Iranian morality police for breaking hijab rules. She is not the first or last Iranian woman to encounter this. They are at the frontline of a revolution, fighting the regime, risking their lives by taking off their hijab publicly. Join us in our online protest; supporting those who are protesting but also those who want to wear it. This is a fight for freedom of choice, standing strong for women’s equal rights, everywhere in the world. We want to show our solidarity with this artivism; drawing one big banner and the women who stand behind it.

Hey dudes! I am not dead! I did break my old phone in April and couldn't be bothered to reset my password on here until the other day, so 🤷‍♀️

Anyway, photo dump of some hiking stuff from the past few months.

If you’re going to talk about “Russian oligarchs” (which you should, because public life in Russia is dominated by corrupt billionaires), then you need to also normalize use of the term “American oligarchs”, since the USA has a higher Gini coefficient than Russia does.

[quasi-normalcy]

Going to bring this back since apparently the infamous American oligarch Michael Bloomberg is pitching a hissy fit about people pointing out that he’s an oligarch.

[anarchistmemedistro]

the CIA axed op’s link, but the gini coefficient is a commonly used economic measurement like GDP, except for economic inequality.

Is Firefox OK?

Mozilla’s privacy-heavy browser is flatlining. What it does next is crucial for the future of the web.

[weirdlylyricalnotes]

Despite some of its misses, Firefox still matters. Mozilla is pushing companies to be more private, and its key product is different at its core. The browser market is dominated by Google’s Chromium codebase and its underlying browser engine, Blink, the component that turns code into visual web pages. Microsoft’s Edge Browser, Brave, Vivaldi, and Opera all use adapted versions of Chromium. Apple makes developers use its WebKit browser engine on iOS. Other than that, Firefox’s Gecko browser engine is the only alternative in existence.

“This market needs variety,” Willemsen says. If Firefox diminishes further, there’ll be less competition for Chrome. “We need that difference for open internet standards, for the sake of preventing monopolies,” Willemsen says. Others agree. Everyone we spoke with for this story—inside and outside of Mozilla—says having Firefox flourish makes the web a better place. The trick is figuring out how to get there.

Download and start using Firefox if you don’t already, I made the switch back to Firefox after not using it for years and being a chrome person until 2020 and have never regretted it

Animals eat other animals. You wouldn't ask a lion to eat a salad not a deer so don't ask humans to go vegan.

yeah you’re so right, all animals are the same! female black widow spiders eat males after sexual intercourse, so if you see me taking a fork and knife into the bedroom you know what’s goin downnnn

Hello my name is Jen and I am in need of financial help. COVID-19 and … Jen Hanna-Jones needs your support for Help Jen pay her bills and solidify her future

Hey ya’ll, it’s me. Covid-19 has been awful these last few years and I was diagnosed with RRMS (relapse-remitting multiple sclerosis). It’s been a difficult year already so if you have any spare coin that would be great. If you can’t donate, a reblog is just as good! Thank you.
