World News@lemmy.world•State of Emergency declared in Western Australia amid fuel crisisEnglish
26·2 months agoWorth noting that the motivation for this is to give the state parliament extra powers to reveal fuel information from retailers about supply levels. The government requested six retailers provide supply chain information, but only three complied.

Progressive Metal Music@sopuli.xyz•Haken Announce Departure of Both Guitarist Charlie Griffiths and Bassist Conner GreenEnglish
8·5 months agoGlad it at least appears to be amicable. They’re going to be tough to replace but I’m excited the band has some more music in store, keen to see where they go next. And hopefully Charlie and Conner keep releasing some music through Tiktaalika.

Climate@slrpnk.net•The end of 2025 must be the end of the inane rule of climate ‘optimism’ | The world missed its opportunity to prevent climate change. We need to focus our resources on adapting to it.English3·5 months agoIt’s far too late to prevent climate change but the EXTENT of change matters just as much as wether there is a change at all. Every fraction of a degree of warming counts for so much.
We absolutely need to be investing in adaptation alongside our reduction of greenhouse gasses, but I worry the narrative of “it’s too late” sends a counterproductive message (I.e. we failed, may as well continue polluting an enjoy our lives). Even if we have 2 degrees of warming it would still be worth fighting to avoid 2.1 degrees of warming imo.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize itEnglish
294·7 months agoI find it difficult to imagine a future in which humans aren’t making fun of impaired cognition.
I think the context is what’s most important, if anyone actually directs such language (be it retarded, idiot, etc) towards people with genuine mental impairment, that constitutes a slur. But the word ‘retarded’ literally means ‘slow’, and is still regularly used (including by myself) in scientific and technical contexts (compared to racist or homophobic slurs, which are only ever really used in a ‘slur’ kind of way).
I wouldn’t really have a problem with calling people ‘slow’ in jest, and I don’t think many would. Imo if not ‘retarded’, it’ll be something else with the same meaning.

1·9 months agoI’ve listened twice and I think this is probably gonna be my AoTY, but at the same time it’s so musically dense and all over the place that I need at least 10 more listens to make head or tail out of it!

3·2 years agoBeen meaning to get into these guys. Album artwork is sick, awesome growls, and cool mastodon vibes in the music too. Will definitely listen to some more!
Can’t mentally decline if you were never sound of mind in the first place!
The Mountain is probably their best and it’s also pretty accessible.

Climate@slrpnk.net•Peter Dutton has reignited Australia’s climate wars. We factcheck the major claims2·2 years agoDutton’s so much of a spud I’m almost glad he’s in charge of the LNP instead of someone more charismatic. Hopefully he never sees any real power. Can’t believe that this is even a political issue up for debate, just delay delay delay and never so anything.

Movies@lemmy.world•Box Office: ‘Furiosa’ Just Barely Beats ‘The Garfield Movie’ in Disastrous Memorial Day Weekend — the Worst in DecadesEnglish
413·2 years agoShame, i thought Furiosa was awesome, although there were only about 5 people in the cinema. The critics seem to be giving pretty favourable reviews too, would definitely recommend going and checking it out. Hope this isnt the nail in the coffin of Mad Max.
