I Tyskland har de haft atomkraft.
Det har de ikke længere.
Alligevel går mere end halvdelen af miljøministeriets budget til opbevaring af og sikkerhedsforanstaltninger imod radioaktivt affald.
En billig og sikker energiform. 👍

Agree.
Just occasionally, you feel that maybe some crimes are so grotesquely antisocial that you could, just for a few ringleaders, bring back hanging.
This is the biggest data harm case in the history of the UK and it just got bigger.
Because of a bug in Fujitsu system hundreds of postmasters were sued, jailed and bankrupted.
Now it's revealed THE POST OFFICE KNEW IT WAS A BUG AND NOT A FEATURE. And they continued destroying people's lives.

This is disgraceful
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Kun en ægte idiot eller et virkeligt modbydeligt menneske kan mene, at det at gøre ens land mindre indbydende, så færre mennesker ønsker at flytte hertil, er en præstation, som det er værd at prale af.
Så sandt.

Only a genuine idiot or a nasty piece of work could think that making one’s country less welcoming and hospitable so fewer people want to come and live there constitutes an achievement worth bragging about.

Samme fejl som danske politikere.
The thing which is so often glossed over about hostile anti-immigration policies is that they affect the whole country and not just migrants.
Labour's ill-concieved, and inhumane, anti-immigration policies will inevitably just make everything worse for everyone. #r4today

AI till støtte for poppulisterne
A friend told me that her American dad got in touch to talk about some news he'd seen on Facebook: there are riots in England over DEI, and the King dramatically burst into parliament to tell Starmer off, and then Prince William did the same to Sadiq Khan. AI really is inventing bold new universes

"i use it for research" congratulations your research is now measurably worse and slower. all the parts you think are getting faster are just parts where you don't know what's being eluded and misconstrued.
"But when the team looked at the employees’ actual work output, they found that the developers had completed tasks 20% slower when using AI than when working without it. Researchers were stunned. “No one expected that outcome. We didn’t even really consider a slowdown as a possibility.”

USA er på røven. Kan de mere ansvarsbevidste, demokratiske kræfter vente på næste valg, eller vil deres tålmodighed blot gøre ondt værre?
This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

Den undersøgelse bør danske politikere kigge på og lægge sig konklusionerne på sinde.
“We studied more than 70 different elections that took place in 12 western European countries over several decades, and found that when mainstream parties take more anti-immigration positions, it leads to more support for the radical right, not less.”
For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right

“Jeg skammer mig ikke over at indrømme, at jeg græd efter mit sidste besøg hos de børn, vi bragte fra Gaza. De har mistet lemmer, familier og livets bedste ting, men vi vil ikke lade dem miste håbet om en bedre fremtid – vi vil beskytte dem.”
