I got arrested at 97 for my grandkids. They were tired of asking nicely [Australian coal port blockade]
I have never done anything like this before. I have always been a law-abiding citizen, but I decided I needed to stand with my family and do what I can to help stop new coal.
"Police restore law and order with the arrest of 97-year-old Alan Stuart."
It takes real talent to clearly be satirising the cops whilst still using polite, printable language. That is an incredible sentence.
Also, this is proof that "I won't be alive to see the worst of it," isn't the reason fossil fuel execs and billionaires are ignoring climate change. They're disconnected from the human race by their money and power. Otherwise they might realise that, "I don't have much longer to be on the right side of history," is an even better reason to act, like this guy did.
Archive org link incase anyone else gets stuck in a captcha loop
The archive.today captcha loop is their passive-aggressive way of complaining that your DNS provider isn't using eDNS to send them approximate location information. It's mostly being hit by firefox users because firefox uses a dns-over-https system which obscures location information by default. You can add exceptions to the DNS and HTTPS settings to get around it.
Shit that annoys me
Ah! I had seen something regarding DNS issues when I did a cursory search. I'm using private relay with safari (lurking via IOS app) so I imagine it's similar. Thanks for the info!
Can we start archiving stuff somewhere that doesn't block firefox?
We can, but the other sites tend to fail in other ways, such as not capturing images, or not removing pop-overs
the same sort of violence from the state to a man that fights for their childrens future and one who guns down two people because he doesn't care about anyone else.
Gen z sending out mercenaries!
