While Amazon touts the surveillance state enabled by its Ring cameras, remember...
Amazon's U.S. tax bill dropped by 87% in 2025, mostly thanks to Trump's tax cuts.
Meanwhile, its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion — and it announced 30,000 job cuts.
Is this the world we want to live in?

Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say
Continued global heating could set irreversible course by triggering climate tipping points, but most people unaware
The world is closer than thought to a “point of no return” after which runaway global heating cannot be stopped, scientists have said.
Continued global heating could trigger climate tipping points, leading to a cascade of further tipping points and feedback loops, they said. This would lock the world into a new and hellish “hothouse Earth” climate far worse than the 2-3C temperature rise the world is on track to reach. The climate would also be very different to the benign conditions of the past 11,000 years, during which the whole of human civilisation developed. Continue reading...

Prêt européen à l’Ukraine : Jordan Bardella vote contre, et s’attire des critiques des autres camps
Le Rassemblement national critique le « montage » de ce prêt, a expliqué un proche de Jordan Bardella, y voyant des « dérogations trop larges » pour des achats d’armes en dehors de l’Europe. Il reproche à ce prêt de reposer sur une hypothèse de remboursement par la Russie de réparations de guerre, plutôt que sur de véritables garanties européennes.

Ils étaient lycéen, instituteur, infirmière, travailleur du bâtiment et étudiante en stylisme. Tous ont été tués le 8 janvier, au premier jour de la mobilisation de janvier contre les autorités iraniennes à Téhéran et à Bouchehr, dans le sud du pays. Leurs histoires témoignent de la diversité de la contestation et de la violence de la répression.
