Don't think there's anything that encapsulates the cycle of utterly useless "radicalism" and impotent "organizing" this shithole country has been stuck in for decades than anarchists replacing Malcolm X's gun with le epic boink jug

It's easy to think you'd be able to do something when you know that you'd never have to actually do it.

New research has found a "missing piece of the puzzle" of West Antarctic Ice Sheet melt, revealing that the collapse of the ice sheet in the Ross Sea region can be prevented—if we keep to a low-emissions pathway. More than 5 meters of potential global sea-level rise is locked within the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, so understanding whether the regions of the ice sheet that appear "stable" today might melt in the future is critical for forecasting how much and how fast our seas will rise around the world.

Said cosmonaut, on feeling hot liquid drip onto his leg during the bad reentry, assumed it was molten metal and that the capsule was melting. He moved his leg aside and continued piloting. (After the flight, it was later determined it was water from behind a life support panel.)

I just LOVE it when "left" anti-communists from the first world will say you're a crazy conspiracy theorist for not believing in the holodomor myth, acting as if it is widely accepted by everyone except this ML Tankie Fringe, when in reality...

In that specific case, the Soyuz came in badly, following a separation failure that almost led to the craft burning up on reentry. After whipping around pulling nine G, the module separated and the craft automatically righted itself, though it was badly scorched on the upper surface. It deployed parachutes and fired landing rockets, bringing itself down roughly but safely far away from the intended landing area, in a random steppe plain. Landing in dry grasses, the cosmonaut in command, still weak from microgee, opened the hatch to a burning inferno, before retreating back inside the hot, smoke-filled capsule until the fire burned past. The chute was consumed by the burn - so when the first recovery helicopter sighted the capsule, whose last telemetry had been close to the worst-case scenario, they first knew the capsule survived... and then they knew the passengers hadn't. That us, until they landed, and found the crew alive, having been carried out by some Kazakh farmers who were asking where their unusual-looking boat came from.

The problem with CHAZ and Occupy strategies in general is that they pose absolutely zero threat to genocidal states or the capital that funds them. At any point they like, the state can disband them by force - the lines of arms-interlinked intellectuals toppled and ziptied in the course of ten seconds. They can do this not because of a lack of tactical ability or force on the part of the protestors (though they do generally lack tactical ability and force), they could just as easily deploy the national guard, even gun down a few people, and face no real consequences but electoral opponents trying to cynically cash in on sentiments caused by the violence.

The problem here is that there is no connection to the people. The whole world, each bit of it, runs on the labour of the workers. You want to stop a genocide 'your' state is carrying out? Organise work stoppage in the factories producing arms, in the trucks and boats and docks transporting them. If you can't do that, then your first priority should be getting into a position to do that: engage with organised labour like unions and guilds, engage with tenant organisations. Win over these politically advanced (though not yet revolutionary) sections of the people, and put your own labour to use positively, in volunteer work, political education, and building up community resources to enable further labour action.
