It’s over 1,000km from Berlin to Paris
There’s now a direct daytime train between them, that takes 8 hours and costs just €59. Leave at 10am, arrive 6pm.
And… it’s just 1% the carbon emissions of the equivalent flight

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

The latest data from NOAA sends a powerful message: November 2024 was the second-warmest month in 175 years of record-keeping, and there is a 99% chance that 2024 will be the hottest year ever recorded. This is a stark reminder of the growing impact of climate change on our planet.

NEW: For over a year, the Israeli government has deliberately denied Palestinians in Gaza the minimum water needed for survival, most likely resulting in thousands of deaths.

If you can. Choose differently. (Not a possibility for everyone)
- Use Linux instead of Windows/MacOS.
- Stop using Alphabet/Google, Meta, Microsoft etc. platforms as much as you possibly can.
- Build on OpenSource platforms.
- Learn how to self-host instead of using cloud.

They are going full oligarchy to the sound of silent consent. When fascism takes over, it is not with a bang but a gradual normalization of corruption, nepotism, and organized crime.
They'll slow boil democracy until nothing is left. The time to act is now, the time to protest is overdue.

Billionaire Elon Musk is now blackmailing republicans by threatening to spend billions to unseat all Republican senators if they do not vote to confirm Kash Patel for FBI director.
Trump is set to move to replace Christopher Wray, the FBI director, with Kash Patel, a QAnon believer.
Patel previous stated "We're going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections. We're going to come after you."

Louisiana Pro-Trump lawmakers passed income and corporate tax cuts, raising the statewide sales tax to pay for it. They are making the poor pay more while the rich pay less, and this is only going to get worse for the rest of the US.
