  6. “But #governments fear the short-term political consequences of #consumer anger over higher #energyprices, so, rather than capitalizing on this moment to accelerate progress, they are scrambling to keep consumers’ costs low by cutting #fueltaxes.” www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/t...

  7. Pesticide exposure linked to 150% higher cancer risk in major study

    sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    A major study finds that living in pesticide-heavy environments could raise cancer risk by up to 150%, even when the chemicals are considered “safe” on their own. The research suggests these mixtures may silently damage cells years before cancer appears…

  13. "Enter #ComradeTrump. When Trump started weaponizing US tech platforms to take away the working files, email accounts and cloud calendars of judges who pissed him off (by sentencing #Bolsonaro to prison and swearing out a genocide warrant for Netanyahu), he put the whole world on notice that he could shut down their #governments, judiciaries or companies at the click of a mouse."

  22. John Swinney says #Scotland not invited to Cobra meeting on Iran war

    It comes after #Starmer told business chiefs in #DowningStreet on Monday that it must be a “joint effort” to tackle the impact of the #war, saying the Government “can’t do it on its own”.

    However, #devolved #governments have NOT been asked to take part in the meeting.

  23. "One of the many consequences of the #Oct7 terror attacks and subsequent global rise in #antisemitism has been the emergence of a host of new #grassroots #Jewish organizations and initiatives, led by a new generation of Jewish leaders.

    Last month, a group of #grantmakers brought approximately 100 of those emerging leaders to #Louisville, #Ky., for a “Collaboratory,” aimed at helping the new sector “professionalize” and connect them to more established Jewish organizations, #AdinaPoupko, executive director of the #NatanFund, which helped spearhead the gathering, told eJewishPhilanthropy.

    After the Oct. 7 attacks, as grassroots campaigns arose to combat antisemitism in #education, local #governments and #arts spaces, the #Natan Fund started issuing #microgrants to help those efforts with their immediate needs, like printing costs and location rentals."

    Generally speaking the pursuit of creating "The European Union of Mistrust" isn't the way to go.

    Sure, #governments have an urge for control in hypercomplex modern and chaotic #society. But just throwing #tech at it, is NOT the way, and will only backfire. Look only how much much 'safer' the world has become with all the advanced tech we already dumped into society, right?

    If we want to build harmonious and peaceful societies that have the right conditions for #democracy to flourish, we better look at fostering social #cohesion between people. Focus on people's virtues, rather than assume vices in a distrust-first society.

    "Distrust-first" is the environment of #hypercapitalism, where vices thrive and unfairly advantage people who wield them more.

    #Trust is the currency that allows society to progress, and #trustworthiness is upon which it can stand.

Now, when a widening #war in the #MiddleEast makes those #photographs especially vital, they are disappearing.”

    A measure of progress is the degradation of commercial and non-commercial open sources of information. Welcome to the 1980, 1990s. You’re going to have to get a bit more creative.

  34. There are still quite a lot of people who think that whatever an authority, such as the government, says is accepted as true. Argumentum ad verecundiam or appeal to authority. Thankfully I'm not like that, especially since I'm knowledgeable and well educated.

  36. We are calling on #governments across the continent to invest in our community and commit to a plan that makes trans healthcare available to everyone who needs it . We’re calling on them to:

    🏥 Fund our care and fix the system

    🙋 Investing in trans leadership and expertise

    🏳️‍⚧️ Protect our care from political attack.

    Sign the #petition to demand our government take real action on trans health!

    Great to see that our #democratic #governments and institutions including #Germany and the #EU are still posting on the #AntiDemocratic #Farright and full of #facism platform #X about the #Iranian #regime and #IranWar.

    When will our democratic governments and institutions leave X?
