We've reached the point where uBlock prevents Youtube from loading because of how ridden with ads it is. Yay capitalism!

"The investigation shows how Facebook has allowed major abuses of its platform in poor, small and non-western countries in order to prioritize addressing abuses that attract media attention or affect the US and other wealthy countries. The company acted quickly to address political manipulation affecting countries such as the US, Taiwan, South Korea and Poland, while moving slowly or not at all on cases in Afghanistan, Iraq, Mongolia, Mexico, and much of Latin America."https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/apr/12/facebook-loophole-state-backed-manipulation

"When Zhang uncovered a network of fake accounts creating low-quality, scripted fake engagement on politicians in the Philippines in October 2019, Facebook left it to languish. But when a tiny subset of that network began creating an insignificant amount of fake engagement on Donald Trump’s Page in February 2020, the company moved quickly to remove it."

Must be because we're all selfish and only seek what's best for us

After attempting to depict Palestinians as white-passing and Israelis as poor BIPOC folks, the hasbara effort is now entering a new phase: the objectification of conventionally attractive (white) Jewish women as a way to convince Western males Israel is not doing anything wrong.Disgusting doesn't even begin describing this.

Today in "shit nuclear fanboys say with a straight face":"nuclear is a perfect interim solution for the world's energy needs"At this point I'm not sure whether they are naive or simply can't understand how capitalism works.

"you don't know how nuclear power works so you can't criticise it"Dude, I don't need to know how a car works to know building 18-lane highways to "solve traffic" is not going to work...

"we already have enough fissile material to produce power for centuries locked away in nuclear weapons, we can use that"This came from the same dude who said nuclear is a good "interim" solution.Basically:- gradually switching to renewables while working to destroy capitalism worldwide? Stupid and can't work- expecting the US, Russia, Pakistan, India, France, the UK and Israel to give up their nuclear stockpiles, then figuring out a way to turn weapons grade uranium into fuel, while building nuclear plants all over the place and keeping the status quo unchanged for billions of people in the global south? TOTALLY OKNukeboy logic, I guess...

"(...) many nuclear advocatesviiargue that renewable electricityhas far too big a land “footprint” to be environmentally acceptable, while nuclear power is preferable because it uses orders of magnitude less land. If we assume that land-use isan important metric, a closer look reveals the opposite is true (...)"So nukeboy propaganda doesn't hold up to actual scientific scrutiny? How surprising...https://rmi.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2011-07_RenewableEnergysFootprintMyth.pdf

"Stewart Brand’s 2010 book Whole Earth cites novelist and author Gwyneth Cravens’s claim that “A nuclear plant producing 1,000 megawatts (...) takes up a third of a square mile.” But this direct plant footprint omits the owner-controlled exclusion zone (~1.9–3.1 mi2). Including all site areas barred to other uses (except sometimes a public road or railway track), the U.S. Department of Energy’s nuclear cost guidexsays the nominal site needs 7 mi2, or 21x Cravens’s figure."

"She also omits the entire nuclear fuel cycle, whose first steps—mining, milling, and tailings disposal—disturb nearly 4 mi^2 to produce that 1-GW plant’s uranium for 40 years using typical U.S. ores. Coal-mining to power the enrichment plant commits about another 22 mi^2-y of land disturbance for coal mining, transport, and combustion, or an average (assuming full restoration afterwards) of 0.55 mi^2 throughout the reactor’s 40-y operating life. Finally, the plant’s share of the Yucca Mountain spent-fuel repository (abandoned by DOE but favored by Brand) plus its exclusion zone adds another 3 mi^2"

“A wind farm,” [Brand says] “would have to cover over 200 square miles to obtain the same result [as the 1-GW nuclear plant], and a solar array over 50 square miles.” On p. 86 he quotes Jesse Ausubel’s claim of 298 and 58 square miles respectively. Yet these windpower figures are ~100–1,000x too high, because they include the undisturbed land between the turbines —~98–99+% of the site— which is typically used for cultivation, grazing, wildlife, or other uses (even solar collection) and is in no way occupied, transformed, or consumed by windpower"Nukeboys massaging the numbers to prove their point? IMPOSSIBLE!

"The National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that: "In the United States, cities and residences cover about 140 million acres of land. We could supply every kilowatt-hour of our nation’s current electricity requirements simply by applying PV to 7% of this area—on roofs, on parking lots, along highway walls, on the sides of buildings, and in other dual-use scenarios. We wouldn’t have to appropriate a single acre ofnew land to make PV our primary energy source!...[I]nstead of our sun’s energy falling on shingles, concrete, and under-used land, it would fall on PV—providing us with clean energy while leaving our landscape largely untouched.and concludes: “Contrary topopular opinion, a world relying on PV would offer a landscape almost indistinguishable from the landscape we know today"
