#Netherlands But the warming climate is allowing Dutch farmers to produce wine and now even experiment with rice, previously unthinkable in such a wet, temperate country. And researchers behind the scheme hope rice cultivation could help address one of the country's most pressing environmental challenges: peat soils that are sinking as they dry out, pushing parts of the low-lying Netherlands ever lower https://kuwaittimes.com/article/51151/health/rice-work-dutch-test-new-crop-to-save-sinking-peatlands/ #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #environment #climate

I despise "it's just a prank bro" #influencers

I despise #pervertGlasses

However

What if someone used the glasses, on #Meta employees, as an act of #satire?

Amazingly, Meta:

1. shows why we are all here on the #fediverse away from corporate control,
2. and shows why their pervert glasses are so wrong:

"Meta removes stairist's [sic] critical video of employees filmed with company's glasses"

(for "bullying", from #Instagram)

#History which repeats itself. On 24 October 1990, the Italian government publicly confirmed revelations exposing Operation Gladio, a grouping of Western anti-#communist intelligence agencies set up in collaboration with the #US Central Intelligence Agency and British intelligence. These agencies, working with and funding neo-fascists, took part in a variety of sensational kidnappings, murders and bombings designed to appear as the work of anarchists and left-wing groups. The secrecy of Gladio began to unravel after the discovery of weapons depots in north-eastern Italy near the border with #Yugoslavia. On August 3, 1990 prime minister Giulio Andreotti was forced to confirm to government officials that a secret army existed in Italy and other countries in Western #Europe. On October 24, Andreotti told Parliament: "The structure did exist and does exist” publicly confirming that Operation Gladio was fact, rather than conspiracy theory. #Gladio established networks in countries including #Germany, #France, the #Netherlands, #Greece, #Luxembourg, Italy, #Belgium, #Norway, #Portugal, #Spain, #Austria, #Turkey, #Denmark, the #UK, #Switzerland, #Sweden. Purportedly the operation was set up to counter potential Soviet invasion. But secret documents released in 1990 showed that in reality its primary concern was controlling the working class, to "counter street demonstrations, handl[e] nationwide strikes and any internal uprising", and "fill the streets, creating a situation of such tension as to require #military intervention". Attacks which took place by fascists supported by the security services killed dozens of people and injured hundreds. These include the #Bologna train station bombing of 1980, which killed 85 people, the Atocha massacre in #Madrid in 1977, which killed five, and the Milan bank bombing, which killed 17, after which anarchist Giuseppe Pinelli was arrested and most likely killed by police. Multiple murders were also credibly linked to Gladio, including the assassination of Belgian Communist Party leader Julien Lahaut, as were multiple coup attempts, including both in #Belgium and #Italy in the 1970s. https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9693/Italian-government-admits-Operation-Gladio It's not mentioned above but this was a structure of #NATO.

Oh fun the Dutch hate the gays now. (It's not quite that extreme but this is seriously bad and shocking) HBSC study on kids found in 2021 that 78% of girls looked positively at homosexuality, that number is now 51%. For boys that was 40% dropping to 22%. This is an international study but as I understand it data from other countries is yet to be published. Just casually checking the news across Europe on a Sunday evening and oh they hate my community now. If you don't know how this feels - it's a punch to the gut every single time. https://nos.nl/artikel/2631829-nederlandse-jongeren-zijn-veel-negatiever-gaan-denken-over-homoseksualiteit #LGBTQ #GayRights #Netherlands #HBSC
