Seems Boris' current wife was caught giving him a hummer in his office while he was foreign sec. (and while he was still married to his previous wife). Meanwhile he's still our PM because no-one gives a shit anymore. | |

Earlier in the week the UK approved a bill that would allow them to arbitrarily break part of the Brexit agreement, pissing off pretty much the entire rest of the civilised world. Tues. they celebrated the first day of their new anti-protest law by confiscating the amps of a man who routinely protests against Brexit near parliament. Hummergate came on Weds., Gaytouchinggate yesterday. So obviously today Boris is going to grab van der Leyden's ass at the G7 to round the week off. | |

btw in case you think there's a hint of hypocrisy when I use the word "pretend" to describe Cam Norrie's Britishness, it was tongue in cheek. I'm not a huge fan of people being able to just pick which country they represent, but Norrie has British parents. There's a few tennis players that choose to represent the UK, it all seemed to start with Greg Rusedski, who caused outrage in Canada when he chose to represent the UK. His reason was apparently because his gf lived here, though his Mother is British so it's not as tenuous as Konta, who was born in Australia to Hungarian parents and didn't move to the UK until she left school. | |

Haha to make a complete mockery of Wimbledon's xenophobia, Elena Rybakina has won the ladies singles. Representing Kazakhstan, she was born in Moscow. She chose Kazakhstan because they invested more money in her than Russia. Nothing to do with culture or heritage, purely economic. | |

Aren't you all about sovereignty? | |
| |

How is this about sovereignty? You guys seem to think that sovereignty means something completely different to what I think it means. For clarity, when I talk about sovereignty, I talk about a nation's right to self determination, or a country's right to govern itself. I'm talking about territorial integrity, and cultural recognition. Not an individual's desire to pick a country on a globe and say "I want to live there" or "that's who I want to represent". That's not sovereignty, otherwise everything is sovereignty. What about my sovereign right to nail every beautiful woman on the planet? It gets quite silly if we define sovereignty so loosely. | |

I'm not even being critical of Rybakina. I'm basing my brief assessment of her on what I read on her Wikipedia page, I have no idea what motivated her to represent Kazakhstan other than the very brief notes on her wiki. I'm critical of Wimbledon's xenophobic policy and believe that a Russian who decided she's not Russian winning the thing is hilarious. | |

It's funny because the US is so, so big. In US sports, it's totally common place for players to switch teams, move between cities, not even live in the city they play for... It's just an entertainment industry, and the tribalism of the team's home location is just part of the pageantry. Like US wrestling - but with a sense of subtlety (and dignity). | |

American football is totally different, in fairness. There's more or less one country in the world that takes that sport seriously. It's not like you have club level and international level competition. | |

We've got a heatwave coming, they're predicting 41 Celsius, our all time record is 38.7. We're not built for this. Our train lines will buckle, roads will start melting, we generally don't have air con in houses, we might even lose power, people get drunk and throw themselves in bodies of water, people flock to the beaches to get horrible sunburn, the country will basically grind to a halt. | |

Well that was the UK's third hottest day on record at 38.1, forecast says hotter tomorrow before it cools down on Wednesday. It was lovely this morning but this afternoon was oppressive, it's still 30 degrees outside and it's getting dark. Imagine living in heat like that all summer. Lots of people do, it's not like humans can't cope in that heat over a prolonged period. This is normal to billions of people. I like it for maybe two or three days but all summer? Jesus. | |

I wasn't planning on buying an air conditioner, but two years ago we had a heat wave where it got almost this hot. It was 31C inside my fucking house (~87 deg. in her Majesty's farenheit). I finally broke down and got an A/C unit. It's just a small one meant for one room, but I put it upstairs and set up the fans to blow the cool air down to the ground floor. My house never got above 24C (75F) today, a little on the warm side but entirely bearable. Am thanking fuck for that A/C right now. Will be even better when we start getting 45C in 10 years or so. | |

A lot of people are naturally suspicious, call it paranoid if you prefer, of governments and their agendas. That in itself is perfectly understandable, and this phenomenon went full batshit after 9/11. An awful lot of people lost their trust in the system that day and it never recovered. These are the people who are suspicious of pandemics, climate change, terrorism, wars, and everything else that makes global news. You're not going to win the trust of these kind of people by lecturing them or insulting them. All you can do is simply hope they're wrong about their paranoia and the world isn't run by elites who commit atrocities. | |

Not sure what the gov't has to gain by faking climate change. On the contrary, all of their actions (not words, but actual behavior) suggests they are being heavily influenced by big oil. "Big wind" as a lobby group doesn't exist afaik, so it's not clear who would be pulling the gov'ts strings to make them fake climate change. There's also the fact that, despite making a lot of noises about tackling climate change, they're really not doing that much. Actions speak lounder than words. | |

I'd say there's a lot more corruption than this. It's not in their personal economic interests. They're invested in these companies, in the technology. The problem with wind and solar is they aren't scarce. Oil is. Scarcity is where they make money. | |

Climate change is 100% real. Take humans out of the picture and the climate still changes. The tectonic plates move at their sub-glacial pace and change the shape of the oceans, change the direction of ocean currents, change how long a major current is near the equator or not. All of that has dramatic changes on the world climate. No one with any honest sense of curiosity could disagree. The climate changes. Fact. | |

Wind power is not environmentally free. The mining and processing of ores to produce the needed metals is significant. The lifespan of a wind turbine is non-infinite. There is environmental cost to everything. Wind turbines are not unique in this regard. | |
