The project is a 360-degree VR documentary created as a co-production between Ukraine, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The film was co-directed by Ukrainian film producer Ivanna Khitsinska and Dutch filmmaker Sjoerd Swierstra. It was produced by Justin Karten from the Netherlands-based Scopic Lab, a Virtual Reality Studio, Bram Crols from Belgium, the Associate Director, and Khitsinska’s WAYA Production.

Filmed across Ukraine in 2024, “Shelter” provides an intimate look at life during wartime through the space of bomb shelters. The film immerses viewers in locations where people hide from shelling, give birth, listen to music, prepare for battle, and say goodbye to loved ones.

Oh definitely, my issue with the concept of the Tragedy Of The Commons is not that shared wealth is not vulnerable but rather that the idea that humans innately cannot function in an environment while preserving and growing a shared commons without some kind of system of authoritarian control and violence actively preserving that shared commons is a deeply political, problematic and scientifically incorrect way of understanding people.

Yes, how disturbing is it that the dropping of the nuclear bombs on Japan will be most useful to historians not as a hyperbolic tragedy that stood alone but as a way to explain the much broader mass slaughter of humans that the 20th century perpetrated and locked in for thousands of years?

I am uninterested in comparing the moral qualities of generations. Humans are humans.

I am interested in the scale of the violence done by these generations against the earth as it will never be able to be surpassed without fully annihilating the human race.

800 years from now no one is going to care how sorry everyone was now about the damage they have done, what matters is the impact and for the destructive impact generations such as Boomers have done to the earth they will be remembered for thousands of years as a calamity.

By the way the "Tragedy Of The Commons" has largely been discarded as a useful way of understanding societies, it is a political narrative with an interest in specific ideologies more than a serious tool to understand humanity.

As Mildenberger points out, this isn't a case where a terrible person had some great ideas that outlived them: Hardin's Tragedy of the Commons was a piece of intellectual fraud committed in service to his racist, eugenicist ideology.

What's worse: the environmental movement elevates Hardin to sainthood, whitewashing his racism and celebrating "The Tragedy of the Commons" as a seminal work of environmental literature. But Hardin is no friend of the environment: his noxious cocktail of racism and false history are used to move public lands into private ownership or stewardship, (literally) paving the way for devastating exploitation of those lands.

By contrast, consider Nobelist Elinor Ostrom's Governing the Commons, whose groundbreaking insights on the management of common resources are a prescription for a better, more prosperous, more egalitarian future.

...

(Hardin quotes that didn't make it into his seminal paper: "Diversity is the opposite of unity, and unity is a prime requirement for national survival" and "My position is that this idea of a multiethnic society is a disaster…we should restrict immigration for that reason.")

when the oceans start consuming the big coastal cities, only then will it become a priority

Miami begs to differ lol, not that I can blame Miami, they are fucked anyways since everything is built on limestone which is very soluble to water... but I wish they would do their whole "stick their head in the sand" thing in a way that was less destructive to the rest of us.

Over 350 former diplomats, 60 NGOs, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, and a UN Special Rapporteur have endorsed the proposal to break the EU-Israel pact, reminding EU ministers of their obligation to "employ all reasonable means to prevent genocide."

The agreement, which came into effect in 2000, is the framework for the EU-Israel relations. It grants Israel preferential access to EU markets. That’s meaningful since the EU is collectively Israel’s main trading partner, accounting for 32% of Israel’s total trade, with 28% of Israel’s exports going to the EU. The agreement also provides for cooperation in other key areas, such as diplomatic dialogue and research.

...

Like similar EU agreements with third countries, the deal with Israel includes a human rights clause, namely Article 2, which stipulates that “cooperation is based on respect for human rights and democratic principles”.

...

Article 2 is not a preamble aspiration — it is a binding condition. Once the EU review found Israel to be in breach, following the agreement means enforcing its terms, not indefinitely ignoring them.

The hypocrisy could not be starker. The same European capitals that rushed to sanction Russia within days of its invasion of Ukraine have now spent years finding excuses not to act against Israel. Sanctions on Moscow were swift, sweeping, and celebrated as a defense of “the rules-based international order.”

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan’s recent remark that Israel was trying to create a new enemy for itself reflected that awareness at the highest level. In Turkey, the prospect of a future confrontation with Israel is increasingly discussed as a real possibility to deter, with the underlying assumption that Israel would be the more likely party to make the first move.

The betrayal of generations from the 20th century against the future quality of life of humanity will be remembered for thousands of years.

That is not hyperbole, this period of human history is alone in its murderous intent to erase the human race and it can never be surpassed for if it does humanity will go extinct.

Data without context is irrelevant and meaningless.

Yes but only in a watered down way.

The aid package also includes artillery shells, though specific quantities were not disclosed.

More 155mm shells!
