Agreed. It is not safe to visit America when criminals control our government. This is America’s darkest and most dangerous hour.

Wenn Ignoranz in Gesellschaften stärker als Vernunft ist, nenne ich das Gesellschaftsversagen. Am deutlichsten sieht man das in den USA. Jetzt könnte man natürlich bei uns daraus lernen und AfD bzw FPÖ in Umfragen wieder sinken lassen 😬 www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Bhattacharyya said that means "the American people are on the hook for these claims if liability is assessed against the government." 🤔 Is this somehow OK, given the electorate put him in power? 🤡

Wow.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Oh my, have you come across @stephencollins.bsky.social? lllustrator and cartoonist. AI peas and so much more. Just the ray of light needed this Monday morning. (Oh yes I got up early to work. Now I think I need to download Stressifyly).

Yes. Amazing #AI

This. Why throw away one of the tools for countering Russian disinformation when it’s never been so important. Especially with US antics going on.

We are polluting our air and running out of drinking water so we can render fake photos of people with six fingers and so that students can mindlessly have computers do their homework for them? Win-win in the dystopian Trump world we live in!

Here you go, the height of fact-based investigative journalism

The other day Manchester United’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said the UK had been "colonised by immigrants"….today there’s this billboard outside of Old Trafford 🔥….way to go Manchester 💪!

The science is clear. The stakes are real. AGU condemns the repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding — a decision that rejects the overwhelming evidence and undermines climate accountability. We will continue to defend science and advocate for evidence-based policy. buff.ly/wX1BQ2t

Correction: A previous version of this post misidentified the South Caucasus as belonging to Russia. The region, made up of territory in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, is not part of Russia. We deleted the previous post.

Manchester Utd owner is giving media interviews claiming UK "colonised" by immigrants He thinks population rose 12 million snce 2020! 11 million people born abroad; this was 9.5 million in 2020, so that is up 1.5 million (not 12 million) but rose 7 million in 30 years from 4m before 1997

Youths were more proud to be American under Obama than Trump apparently. (Now ask people who remember Fascism and WWII. I suspect similar results.)

Andre Ventura of Chega (change) running on anti-immigratiom slogans like "this isn't Bangladesh" and "Portugal is ours" has lost the Portugal presidential election in a landslide. He was second on 23% to 31% in the first round but losing about 30-70 in the run-off to socialist António José Seguro

“It is our duty to become the welcoming & tolerant society that our own relatives would have hoped to find on the other side of our borders…Not many governments agree w/regularizing migrants today. But more people do than we often assume” -Spain’s prime minister making the rare pro-immigration case:

For years, I've criticised countries like Russia & Georgia that try to prevent foreign funding of civil society. Now I'm starting to wonder whether we need similar rules: to stop Russian influence operations, certainly, but also to stop the US boosting the far right in Europe. What times we live in!

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

At ANSES in Paris, Ellise Suffill presented her #ZeroPM work on integrating social data into the Essential Use Concept, followed by a roundtable on whether the consumer is always right and how to enable sustainable design. ♻️ #Chemicals #Pollution #Sustainability

Two-year-olds raised in vegan or vegetarian households don't necessarily have restricted growth, according to a study of 1.2 million children

Perhaps it was coincidental timing, but nothing underscores the collapse of the Washington Post like firing most of the Pulitzer prize winning #climate reporters the very same day as their opinion pages publishes a BS screed by climate misinformer Bjorn Lomborg.

Well, I would criticise Lord Mandelson, but two and a half years ago, a UK government official emailed me to tell me that I can't criticize government officials on social media, for a period going back five years. So. I have to wait a bit. (You think I'm kidding. The UK government told me that)

Ulez bomber: the retired electrician who turned bomb-making extremist

Wer verstehen will, wie sehr sich Springers Blattlinie verschoben hat, muss nur diesen Text lesen. ICE-Terror wird als „Unerfahrenheit & schnelle Hand am Abzug“ verharmlost, verantwortlich „Linke“. Die Schuldumkehr zeigt wie sehr Anstand, Moral & Menschlichkeit verrutscht sind.

HMRC taking more than a year to pay tax rebates. It is one-way traffic. People fined for late filing of tax returns and payments. Hard to get through on phone. Letters not answered. Poor public accountability. Sweetheart deals with corporations/rich that parliament can't scrutinize.

Last year, we made the decision to step away from X. The Royal Irish Academy is committed to creating, convening, and sharing knowledge for the public good and as an organisation we value Independence; Integrity; Curiosity; Openness and Rigour. In our view, X no longer aligns with these values
