Starmer’s hissy fit will make new PM’s job harder
So #Starmer is poisoning the water for his replacement, not for some incoming leader of another political party but for the incoming leader of his own party, as he has a juvenile hissy fit
He's trying to #encumber new PM from undoing the mess he has made as he continuously stumbles from 1 disastrous decision to another during his absolutely #catastrophic short time as PM

At some point, someone will get angry enough to choose #violence. Maybe a #player #character, maybe an #NPC. Even if the fight halts before any serious casualties occur, #consequences still may be #catastrophic.
As I write the major #NPCs in this story, I find interesting #tension between them. Between husband and wife. Between brother and sister. Between rival families. Between #villain and #thrall. The #party must have the #opportunity to find and use those tensions to steer the story.

Disaster #Averted: Close call on Munich — #Mühldorf rail line after signaling failure
A #catastrophic head-on collision was narrowly avoided this Friday near Weidenbach when a passenger train was erroneously diverted onto an occupied single-track section. While heavy snowfall disrupted regional #SBahn services, this specific "dangerous event" highlights the critical state of the aging infrastructure on one of #Bavaria’s key transit routes.

With many #Americans still recovering from multiple blasts of snow and unrelenting freezing temperatures,a new #storm is set to emerge this weekend that could coat roads, trees and power lines with devastating ice across a wide expanse of the South
The storm arriving into the weekend is shaping up to be a “widespread potentially #catastrophic event from Texas to the Carolinas,” said Ryan Maue, a former chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

From the abstract of the article in question...

Bottom Line:
👉 Approximately 14,660 potential excess #deaths per year!
👉 The equivalent of the seventh leading cause of #death (age 25-65)
👉 Approximately 623 000 additional individuals will face #catastrophic health-care #costs annually
What #Trump and the #GOP are trying to do is Bad Juju!
"Approximately 72 million individuals in the USA are enrolled in #Medicaid nationwide.2 Without compensatory state-level policies, an estimated 15·5 million people would lose Medicaid coverage in the 40 states that expanded Medicaid and the District of Columbia.2 A 2022 study linked Medicaid expansion with an 11·8 per 100 000 person-year reduction in mortality of people aged 25–64 years (95% CI –21·3 to –2·2).3 Applying this figure to the states affected by the proposed cuts, potential excess deaths could reach approximately 14 660 (95% CI 2733 to 26 462) over a 1-year period for people aged 25–64 years, the equivalent of the seventh leading cause of death in that age group across affected states.4 Certain populations, such as rural residents with low income, might be disproportionately affected."
"Loss of Medicaid coverage will increase financial hardship. The 2008 Medicaid expansion in Oregon reduced the incidence of catastrophic health-care expenditures by 4·48 percentage points (95% CI –0·69 to –8·26).5 Based on projected coverage losses, we estimate that approximately 623 000 additional individuals aged 25–64 years (95% CI 91 000 to 1·07 million) will face catastrophic health-care costs annually."

#NPR: The U.S. takes a step toward allowing #mining on the ocean floor, a fragile #ecosystem
by Julia Simon, April 25, 2025
"President #Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at making it easier for companies to mine the deep seafloor, saying it would create 'a robust domestic supply for critical minerals.'
"There is currently no commercial-scale deep-sea mining anywhere in the world. But companies have long eyed the ocean floor as a potential source of metals like nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper, which are used in batteries for electric vehicles and other technologies.
"The world has no rulebook for deep-sea mining. One company is pushing forward anyway
"These metals can be found in potato-sized nodules lying on the ocean floor. Many of the nodules are in the middle of the Pacific ocean, beyond the legal territory of individual countries.
"Thursday's order might circumvent ongoing international negotiations to regulate deep-sea mining.
"Those regions have traditionally been overseen by an international organization, the #InternationalSeabedAuthority (#ISA). The ISA has hosted talks for years to try to hammer out a rulebook to govern a potential seabed mining industry. The U.S. did not ratify the treaty that governs the seabed, and is not a voting member of the ISA, though in the past under previous administrations it has respected the ISA process.
"In his executive order, Trump instructed federal agencies to expedite the process for reviewing and issuing permits for mining on the seafloor in both U.S. and international territory. It will use a U.S. law from 1980, the "#DeepSeabed Hard Mineral Resources Act."
"Scientists and environmental groups condemned the order, arguing that opening the deep seabed for mining could disrupt important marine ecosystems, and damage the fishing industry.
" 'This is being planned on some of the least resilient #ecosystems on the planet,' says Douglas McCauley, professor of ocean science at the University of California Santa Barbara. 'It would have #catastrophic biological consequences.'
"Underwater mining can create plumes of sediment that could suffocate marine life, and degrade the #FoodWebs that fish depend on, McCauley says.
"There are also important questions about whether we actually need to be mining the seabed to get enough of these minerals for technologies like batteries, says Micah Ziegler, assistant professor of energy and chemical systems at Georgia Institute of Technology.
"While a couple of years ago researchers were concerned about the limitations of land-based mining for metals like cobalt and nickel, a variety of alternative #battery chemistries have been developed that might reduce the need for those elements, Ziegler says."
