@npub1xj8…egqe "Sudan's paramilitary RSF force is widely reported to be backed by the United Arab Emirates - officials there deny it" The RSF are descended from the Janjaweed who were behind the Darfur genocide 2003-2020.

@npub1hpc…hjn3 I have seen no evidence the Armenian population of "Artsakh" is being expelled. They seem to be voluntarily fleeing in fear of maltreatment, not expelled.
After what their compatriots did in the early 1990s, driving out the Azerbaijanis from large areas, that is a reasonable fear, but it isn't expulsion.

@npub14lm…5crk A colleague was impressed with a ChatGPT programming answer for a tool he was novice at.

I think it's too late - if we stopped burning all fossil fuels today, the CO2 already in the atmosphere would take us past 1.5C warming by 2030. Staying under 2.0C is still possible.
