There were a 1001 problems with the 2022 - and I did two entire episodes of just on that - but one thing that did sort of work for Qatar is the proximity of the stadiums to one another. You just had to jump on the metro.

But that won't be possible for the as it is already being designed to be as environmentally costly as possible. By 2026 we will see even more climate-related crises than we are doing now, but and the governments of the , and purposefully picked economically key locations to host the stadiums. So in addition to the flights from all over the world from fans who will travel to their first location there, you now have to count all the additional flights between cities and countries that will be taken *including* additional flights that will be planned due to increased demand.

So as our species get closer to climate tipping points FIFA and these three governments decided to plan the most environmentally polluting World Cup so far. The only criteria, as usual, is 'economic', here meaning catering to corporate ads and political pressure, with the resulting pollution completely ignored.

Watch this space. If this gets criticism these governments and FIFA will claim to be offsetting CO2 by planting trees, a method thoroughly disproven as you can't just plant trees anywhere to compensate for CO2 emissions - that's just not how nature works - but this is what they will propose as they'd have no other way out of this. They designed the entire thing to be as polluting as possible so that is what it will be.

We recorded a special episode on the in on with Musa Okwonga, Justin Salhani and Fabien Goa

Whether you're into football/#soccer or not, I think it's fair to say that this sport holds an incredible hold on our collective imaginary.

Its political power is inescapable, and governments, especially authoritarian governments, understand this very well.

@promiseli it doesn't have to be a reduction though. Football is inherently political, and arguably the most political of sports given its global reach. I did a episode with Justin Salhani and Musa Okwonga on that topic some months ago if you're interested

There are also, of course, Bosnians who have been dealing with this phenomenon longer than most. I recommend my conversations with Aida Hozic and Edin Hajdarpasic on

Well reposting this here as I don't even know if the bird site will be there for much longer:

I'm a freelance racialized writer/journalist and I promise you that I'm not looking forward to being all of those if this site goes down. A good chunk of the jobs I got were through this site. It is extremely difficult for me to do the 'normal' job Interviews.

Having a Twitter account was even part of how I helped get political prisoners out. There were situations where the very risk of making noise on Twitter may well have saved the lives of people I know.

It's how I connected with people from all corners of the world and got them on my podcast . I have no other tools. I barely make minimum wage at the moment.

I'll be fine dw but many people are much more vulnerable and this is just fucked up.

Through Twitter I met queer Syrians hiding in Lebanon and Turkey, Ukrainians who wanted to learn about Lebanon or Syria, Hongkongers seeking to get in touch with Iranians, Palestinians sending their solidarity to Ferguson.

I helped document two major uprisings from my country, as well as its collapse. I was part of a network of translators translating from dozens of languages into English.

I saw people at risk of suicide being reached out to in real time by others. As someone who did try to kill himself several years ago, I know that this would have made a difference.

And as a non-American non-US resident there's the added insult to injury of not even being part of the calculation in the first place. Here's this tool that can change everything in your life and the people controlling it couldn't care less about what happens to you.

And as this is an American problem, and specifically a Silicon Valley one, my expectations are extremely low. Americans barely matter to policy makers and matter even less to Silicon Valley ghouls. Musk has to be fucking haunted by this, his life turned into a living hell.

I got lucky because I've built enough of a base, either around or around my other projects, that I know that I'll find a way. But that took nearly a decade. Rebuilding all of that won't be easy, and this will absolutely lead to a number of crises.

It all feels dizzying right now, and unfortunately no amount of hating Elon fucking Musk will make any difference. I don't even know what would. I wish Twitter employees occupied all offices. Or Dems turning it to a nonprofit ala PBS. Maybe. Honestly I don't know anymore.

Good luck to everyone who will move from that site to this site. I see value in this site, and I see its potential. I also recognize the loss that will come if Musk is truly destroying that site.

Hello again Mastodon, reposting this for :

I'm Joey Ayoub (@ joeyayoub on Twitter), Lebanese writer in Geneva, Switzerland (previously London and Edinburgh). I'm into and building internationalist solidarity against capitalism and to fight global warming. You know, fun stuff.

I'm the host of the (thefirethisti.me - patreon.com/firethesetimes) and I'm an editor at Shado Mag. I'm doing a PhD at the University of Zurich in cultural analysis and I'm involved in way too many projects.

I've also been involved in a couple of uprisings and I'm a campaigner against the disgusting Kafala system. I help out the Domestic Workers Alliance Network.

I have a soft spot for animals, and I don't eat them. I try not to use airplanes whenever possible. My happy place looks like a diverse Shire. I recognize mother nature as a real entity worthy of respect.

Oh, and I'm also one of those scary antifa. I support uprisings and struggles against authoritarianism everywhere. Free and everywhere else under occupation. And .
