5 Milliarden Dollar pro Stunde.
So hoch sind die Umweltschäden, die der Einsatz von Öl und Gas sowie die nicht nachhaltige Produktion von Lebensmitteln verursachen.

Im Europaparlament können die Konservativen das allerdings nur mit einer Mehrheit mit den Rechtsextremen durchsetzen. Das werden sie tun, solche Mehrheiten sind bereits eingeübte Praxis.

Die USA haben kürzlich gefordert, dass die EU das Lieferkettengesetz abschwächt, Vorgaben zum Klimaschutz rausnimmt. Sonst gebe es kein US-LNG mehr.
Die EU hat sich im Trilogverfahren jetzt darauf verständigt.

In ihrer Sicherheitsstrategie betonen die USA, dass sie de facto rechtsextreme Kräfte in Europa stärken wollen. Diese erhalten durch Kooperation mit den Konservativen politische Gestaltungsmacht.

I can hold two truths in my soul at once: every man in her story is a creepy-ass predator who should be marooned at sea, and also she's an ethics black hole who may have brought upon a new age of victorian era infant mortality.

Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."
Lisa Taddeo in Airmail: "I think Olivia is smarter than she is beautiful, though she is unquestionably beautiful. I think Olivia is able to write something beautiful overnight and not a lot of people can do that, and her intrigue and wisdom are amplified, in my opinion, by how very young she still is. Her prose is never boring, even when it’s precious, and when I look at her I see a little girl, like my daughter, like myself, like us all, which is what she actually still was when all these older, powerful men navigated her, and, through that, she learned how to navigate them, and the world, in a way that I think has gravitas. But mostly I think the attempted patriarchal mass murder of this woman’s career and her personhood is a freaksome lynching the likes of which we will look back upon with a dazed compunction."

Abseits davon hält sich mein Mitleid mit internationalen Konzernen, die sich eigene Rechtsabteilungen ohne Probleme leisten können, generell eher in Grenzen. Zu oft geht es nämlich tatsächlich weniger um „Bürokratie“ und vielmehr um lästige Vorgaben zu Verbraucherinnenschutz & fairem Wettbewerb. 💁🏻‍♀️

I’ll be honest, ADHD was not where I saw TERFs headed next. I mean, I knew they were always gonna go after somebody, trans people were always the thin end of the wedge, but of all the bigotry available to choose from, we’re awfully niche.

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

This is a real disaster for those - pretty much the entirety of the British media - advancing a maximalist reading of the For (Some) Women Scotland decision.
796. Thirdly, the claimant’s contention was in our view not consistent with the court’s comment that “we have concluded that a biological sex interpretation would not have the effect of disadvantaging or removing important protection under the EA 2010 from trans people (whether with or without a GRC).” 797. After that comment the court explained that a person with gender reassignment as a protected characteristic could pursue a claim of direct or indirect discrimination, or of harassment, if the circumstances so warranted. There was no qualification to it to the effect that that was not applicable in, for example, the context of a single sex space under Part 5 of the Act. If their decision had been that all trans persons must be excluded from the changing rooms or toilets for the sex they identify with because it was not the sex assigned at birth, and may also be excluded from the changing rooms or toilets of their biological sex, that in our view certainly does impact on their rights under section 7. 798. Were the claimant’s contention to be correct that would have the effect of materially reducing the extent to which that protected characteristic could be relied on by trans persons, to their disadvantage. What was desired by the trans person when living their life may not be permitted in a large number of practical instances, and would not have been consistent with the view expressed by Lady Hale in Work and Pensions, and the line of authority in relation to human rights. Such a construction in our view would also not be consistent with the interpretation of the Equal Treatment Directive from the CJEU and its predecessor as referred to above, which remains as assimilated law, and would not be consistent with a purposive interpretation still required. The development of the law in relation to what is now the protected characteristic of gender reassignment is set out above. At the very least we would have expected these considerations to have been addressed speci…

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.

"Das ist eine hysterische Debatte"; "wir sollten die Kirche im Dorf lassen"; "das sind einige bedenkenswerte Kritikpunkte drin"; "die USA bleiben unser wichtigster Partner"; "nichts wird so heiß gegessen, wie es gekocht wird"...
So wird man nicht ernstgenommen, sondern immer weiter erpresst.

Markus Söder hat Friedrich Merz gestern bei Caren Miosga eine Tür geöffnet, in dem er die gemeinsame Abstimmung mit der AfD als Fehler bezeichnete. Der Kanzler könnte dies ebenfalls tun und somit die Richtung für die Landtagswahlen 2026 vorgeben und auch Zusammenarbeiten in den Kommunen kritisieren.

Sehr geehrte demokratische Abgeordnete des Deutschen Bundestags,

der einzige Grund, warum die Plattform X in Deutschland noch Relevanz hat, ist Ihre Anwesenheit dort. Ohne Amts- und Mandatsträger wird die Plattform auch für Journalisten irrelevant und mit ihnen für die gesamte politische Blase.
