“Waves as high as "three or four-storey buildings" whipped up by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred have gouged millions of cubic metres of sand from about 500 kilometres of coastline between Coffs Harbour in New South Wales and Queensland's Sunshine Coast”

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred gouges 500km of coastline
Ex-Cyclone Alfred has caused beach erosion so extreme, it's left escarpments up to six-metres high in some dunes, including on iconic Gold Coast tourist stretches.

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

Trump has removed President Biden’s portrait at the White House and replaced it with a portrait of an autopen.

Trump is a petty, jealous, childish, and hateful person.

I’m sharing a portrait of President Biden as a sign of respect and support.

What does a dream sound like
When it’s born in the ruins of War?
When a girl from Donbas
Turns her silence into a song?

I recorded mine.
Soft. Shaking. True.
In English and Ukrainian.
Every word - felt.

It’s called “I Still Dream.”

Die Sozialsysteme werden zerschlagen, wie selten zuvor. 48h Woche, Rentenalter, Gesundheitssystem, Miete, Lebensmittelkosten, Klima, Gas... und die Wirtschaft ist trotzdem auf Talfahrt.

Und Deutschland so: Darf eine Veggie-Wurst Wurst heißen?

Jesse discusses the fallout from the resignation of Ryan Walters. Reversing the damage has begun in earnest, and an investigation by the state attorney general has commenced, which could potentially result in criminal charges and severe jail time.

Midweek Treat: my Ginger and Walnut Carrot Cake is #RecipeOfTheDay! I’m rather fond of it plain and un-iced, but I admit the gingery cream cheese frosting does finish it off perfectly www.nigella.com/recipes/ging...
Ginger and Walnut Carrot Cake
This is very different from the richly sweet, loftily layered and aerated American original. While it is in some senses far more reminiscent of an old-fashioned, slightly rustic English teatime treat,...

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

One of Russia’s main supply routes from China has been shut down. From today, the border with Kazakhstan is fully stopped.. over 5,000 trucks are stuck, inspections are ongoing, and goods are being confiscated. Drones, EW gear, batteries, components, nothing is getting through.

“No word is abused in politics like 'we'. It transforms other people's interests into supposedly common goals, individual advantages into collective necessities. An example: Those who think that 'we' can no longer afford the welfare state mean: you give up, I profit”

Kein Wort wird in der Politik so missbraucht wie das 'Wir'. Es verwandelt fremde Interessen in vermeintlich gemeinsame Ziele, individuelle Vorteile in kollektive Notwendigkeiten. Ein Beispiel: Wer meint, dass 'wir' uns den Sozialstaat nicht mehr leisten können, meint: ihr verzichtet, ich profitiere.
