May 10, 2024 - Hundreds of radical environmentalists and anticapitalists have broken through police lines and fences and stormed the terrain of the Tesla Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg. They are attempting to stop the planned expansion of the factory, which would mean the destruction of surrounding forest and farmland. The factory also uses immense amounts of water, and all to sell shitty electric cars to give people the idea that personal consumption choices can save the environment from destruction, and make fascist Elon Musk even richer than he already is. The actions in the past days have forced Tesla to temporarily shut down production at the factory. [video]

Gonna try posting this again and hope it works without broken video/gif/etc. But yeah, I've been working on a small backend-free browser pet game for funsies featuring our little goobers. Will probably take me 90 years to finish it, but I have a few workable ideas and here's some placeholder graphics sitting in place. Also... Small gif how I pipelined those animations.

Trump, who publicly disparaged Lesotho as a place “nobody has ever heard of,” threatened the tiny southern African country with 50% tariffs, among the highest rates proposed for any single nation or territory. The Trump administration ultimately set a 15% tariff on Lesotho late Thursday, but much damage has already occurred to the country’s textile industry. It is uncertain how many buyers will return, leaving thousands of workers in limbo... By imposing tariffs, Trump appears to be sidestepping the African Growth and Opportunity Act, which allows 32 African countries to sell some 1,800 products in the U.S. duty-free. The law expires this year, and, with Trump wielding tariffs as the foundation of his international economic policies, most experts don’t expect the Republican-controlled Congress to renew it. Shelile says a lobbying group that purported to have access to prominent members of Trump’s family asked in a virtual meeting for $1.5 million to campaign for tariff relief. He didn’t identify the lobbyists. “They wanted the money immediately, and they didn’t want to guarantee results,” Shelile said. Lesotho declined the offer, he said... In September 2024, the U.S. Embassy in Maseru said it would pay for a new schoolhouse in Qabane, but had only disbursed about half of the pledged $9,000 before Trump ended the funding, said Cheletsi Lefa, the school’s principal. The school’s 47 pupils continue to attend classes in the roofless church hall while Lefa searches for funding to finish the new building.  “We are going to every corner we can reach to get funding,” he said. “We are leaving no stone unturned.”
