While American farmers are overwhelmed by health insurance costs, German farmers don’t have to worry about their medical bills. And this difference could help determine which country’s small farms are better prepared for climate change.

Despite the grave, and possibly nuclear, threat that this might entail, let me be a historian & mention that this is historically dumb: what do you mean Iran has not surrendered to its enemies in thousands of years. Have you heard of Alexander? The Islamic Conquest? The Mongols? Tamerlane?!

Dumbass

White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”

Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.

Trump administration may reverse course on Big Bend border wall U.S. Customs and Border Protection has updated a border wall map on its website to show a large section of the U.S.-Mexico border around Big Bend is slated for a "detection technology" project.

Trump blinked. Again. "This is not a Democrat versus Republican thing," he said. " Some of the most influential political figures and donors of these politicians were outraged." www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

⚠️ @greenpeace.org’s report on plastic-packaged ready meals highlights that chemicals and microplastics can migrate into food when heated.

🔥 Both oven and microwave heating causes chemical leaching, with higher levels released in the microwave.

This is the future of the Democratic party — fracture, collapse, and locking in Republican fascism for decades.

Unless real leaders emerge in the next year to lead a transformation in the party to fighting for change.

Israel attacked UN forces in Lebanon. It’s nowhere near the first time either.

I keep asking myself this, and then sadly remembering I know the answer.

Ghana denounces 'war crime' at UN after Israeli strike injures three peacekeepers in southern Lebanon Ghana filed a protest with the United Nations on Saturday, a day after an attack in southern Lebanon that injured its peacekeepers, denouncing it as “a grave violation of international law...

Published paper proving that #ChatGPT will always make things up.

Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math.

Even with perfect data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false.

There’s an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.

Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory. The female scientist says “Analogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?” The male scientist replies “That's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!” They step out onto a balcony. She says: “Please tell me you haven't built a library zeppelin” This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds “It's got a fax machine!”

Green surge was inevitable now the “wasted vote” argument no longer holds.

Labour will need to offer positive reasons to think again rather than simply saying Greens couldn’t win an election.

Marginal Gains: how wind is pushing gas out of the power market and… Growth in British renewables cutting electricity prices by up to a quarter.

Yep- and wind is already pushing more expensive gas plants off the grid. Prices would have been 1/3 higher in 2024 without wind

Iran had a diffuse series of power structures at the best of times. This is not the best of times. You can have a president call for peace and an IRGC seeking to blow up Dubai airport all at once.
