Really interesting article, although I'm not sure I completely buy the argument

The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu could be submerged in 25 years due to rising sea levels, so a plan is being implemented to relocate its population to Australia.

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Trump has been getting away with blatantly lying for so long that at this point he doesn't even bother trying to make it sound convincing

I understand justice matters but the reopening of cold cases is surely going too far now

I can't remember the exact name but it had FOX in the acronym. It's also a dual therapy it seems. It didn't sound too bad all things considered. One day at the hospital and then two days of wearing this infusion pump thing, and then 11 days off, and repeat again.

Hey all,

I have some heavy news to share unfortunately: I’ve recently been diagnosed with stage-four cancer. It originated in my colon but has spread to my liver and lungs as well. I’ll soon start chemotherapy, but the doctor has told me that I may only have several years left to live, if that. Of course, it could be the case that I respond really well to the chemotherapy, and this then opens up other options for treatment, but I was cautioned that this would be a very big surprise.

Still, I am staying positive. Not that I am holding out hope for a miracle cure, but rather that I am choosing to focus on all of the good things in life: the many amazing experiences and adventures I’ve had, and the meaningful relationships I’ve formed. I’ve had a really good life so far, and I’m treating any time left as a great bonus. So, while it is obviously a sad time, I’m mostly just feeling incredibly fortunate and grateful for everything. πŸ™Œ

I don't think I know too many people personally on here, so this may just disappear into the ether. But just in case, some personal news:

Migrants at a Miami immigration jail were shackled with their hands tied behind their backs and made to kneel to eat food from styrofoam plates β€œlike dogs”, according to a report published on Monday into conditions at three overcrowded south Florida facilities.

The incident at the downtown federal detention center is one of a succession of alleged abuses at Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (Ice) operated jails in the state since January, chronicled by advocacy groups Human Rights Watch, Americans for Immigrant Justice, and Sanctuary of the South from interviews with detainees.

These ICE officials need to go straight to The Hague.
