She added about 20 million views to this after some dipshit WH spokesperson decided the best plan was to personally attack and insult her. And counting.

“Degrowth” truly is an unfortunate term for what is basically a really great set of analyses and policy suggestions.

There’s just no way it resonates with normies and lower-middle class trying to improve their lot.

I prefer “simplification” (ala @natehagens.bsky.social) or “alternative growth”.
First comprehensive investigation shows large support for core ideas of degrowth, but not the label
The first major study into public attitudes toward degrowth – the notion that high-income economies should prioritise wellbeing over growing...

Trump on Tim Walz: "I think the man is a grossly incompetent man. I thought that from the day I watched JD destroy him in the debate. I was saying, 'Who's more incompetent, that man or my man?' I had a man and he had a man. They were both incompetent."

Big deal? Maybe could be.
He belongs to a French Huguenot concatenation in Charleston where, from a young age, they teach the destructive impact of this facial expression.

The House of Guise was nearly toppled by it during the War of Religions in France.

Renewables, green energy, electrification of transport!! WE CANT DO THAT. IT WILL COST US MONEY!! We prop up fossil fuel by Billions every year.
If we stop that and prop up Renewable, electrified transportation and clean energy, then it won’t be expensive! Fossil fuels will be.

My undying admiration will go to any reporter who brings up all the evidence of former Honduras President Hernandez's crimes running drugs, and reminds that he was convicted by a jury, and ask Trump how he can claim to be tackling the drug problem while letting such a large trafficker go free.

Deliberately inflicting soulless, careerist status quo merchants who believe in nothing except imposing order upon yourselves and everyone else, and then sobbing into your frothy coffees because they just want to pander to the same people the Tories did and don’t think anything needs to change.

They will willingly and happily throw anyone under the bus to save themselves. This admiral needs to speak out but they probably already forced him to sign a NDA. Probably threatening him and his family to take whatever happens and roll with it even if it’s a prison term.

While obviously Lammy's proposal of scrapping many jury trials is getting the headlines, it seems odd how little attention his proposal to scrap the automatic right to appeal is getting. That seems like quite a big thing to be honest, especially for poorer and more marginalised defendants. #r4today

Elsewhere, 18-year-old Muhammad Raslan Mahmoud Asmar was shot during a raid on his village northwest of Ramallah. Witnesses say the teen was left to bleed out as Israeli forces barred Red Crescent medics from approaching. The soldiers then seized his lifeless body.

OMFG I wish people would think more broadly sometimes.

I just read an article that cited data showing children whose parents were older when they were born were more likely (by 50% so quite significant) to be autistic.

OK so far, makes sense to me. Autistic people have kids later.

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.
