It's astonishing and terrible to see populist politicians still saying that climate change is a hoax - and getting elected. It's never been more obvious that what scientist have been saying about global warming (e.g. Exxon's scientists have been saying since 1977) is true and having real world consequences today.

If you're on Windows, you can use Win + .

If you're on Linux, try ctrl + shift + e

I'm surprised you say you don't know what the 😭 face means, since it's just exaggerated crying. Is it because they're too small, or that you suspect there's some implied agreement/subtext you're not party to?

I can see why people wouldn't know what something like 🍆 is used to represent, since it's not for the intended (I assume...) use.

I was expecting an assassination, not a stupid gift and a terrible accident.

I thought that was catchier than "Private Browsing/Incognito/InPrivate/gift shopping mode".

False dichotomy (or is your logical fallacy the slippery slope? Anyway...) Someone saying that what's happening to Palestinians is wrong does not mean they're saying they want all Israelis killed.

It's not paywalled here, try using porn mode, clearing that site's cookies or something like archive.today.

I was going to suggest War for the Overworld but at eight years old perhaps that doesn't qualify.

I'd agree that you can't binge on them - best to just read one in between longer books.
