After another drone attack on Russia’s capital this morning, Ukrainian military intelligence told Kyiv Post there is a “certain justice” in how Moscow’s residents are feeling.
On a hot summer day, white clothing feels cooler than other colors due to reflecting—not absorbing—sunlight. Other colors like blue or black, will undergo a heating effect as they absorb light. To circumvent this heating effect in colored cooling films, researchers drew inspiration from nanostructures in butterfly wings.

It's not 'all of us' its those of us in the West/ Global North (the rich bit)
We flew, we drove, we ate all the meat. We shipped fantastical trinkets around the world. Our politicians gave us what we wanted.
The super rich really did it a lot, and brought all the media and fed us racist stereotypes. They brought the politicians. But we lap it up. It's on us too.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin will not attend the summit of the BRICS group of emerging economies in South Africa in August "by mutual agreement", South Africa's presidency said on Wednesday. Russia will instead be represented by its Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the Johannesburg summit, alongside the leaders of Brazil, India, China and South Africa, the presidency said in a statement. South Africa faced a dilemma in hosting the summit because, as a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC), it would theoretically be required to arrest Putin for alleged war crimes if he were to attend.

Thanks. Just to clarify that was posted automatically by a bot. I'm playing with automated feeds, I'll try and adjust them so that they are more useful.

If you hate it a downvote seems appropriate!
I'll try and do better with adding a summary, and ideally a preview shot of any videos I post in the future

Yes, it's about how far they should be importing from. Many could probably do 80% of vegetables within ~20miles if the land around cities was used for horticulture rather than horses.
