Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Yes yes yes! Black and white thinking will “leave you vulnerable to blindspots”!
An ongoing frustration of mine is the idealising and/or villainising of fixed stars and I wrote about it! azuradastra.substack.com/p/a-cosmolog...
Nuances in our understandings of fixed stars
Are some stars particularly evil while others are good and safe? Let's discuss, with examples.

C'est quand même quelque chose que des personnages comme Thomas Fazi puissent désormais régulièrement faire la une du Monde Diplomatique sans que cela ne fasse réagir ses lecteurs.
Ajout : Thomas Fazi a récemment écrit un rapport de 70 pages pour le Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC), un thinktank étroitement lié à Viktor Orban.
Thomas Fazi, a pro-Brexit, covid denialist, contributor of right-wing Unherd and Compact and (former?) darling of the nationalist left, has published a “research” paper attacking the Jean Monnet Programme as a vehicle of EU propaganda … on behalf of Orban’s propaganda machine! 1/

qui a vu de nombreuses personnes de gauche devenir extrêment poreuses aux réthoriques fascisantes.
Il ne faut donc pas s'étonner qu'avec une telle endurance dans l'aveuglement on se retrouve collectivement si démunis. Mais il n'est pas encore trop tard regarder les choses en face.

Aspects are undeniably the hardest part of the “basics” to get down because they’re not basic at all. They’re where we stop looking at things in isolation and bring them together to tell a coherent story.

Did you know it was several decades before handwashing in hospitals was implemented after it was found to be necessary in 1846? We’re in the same boat today, except w/ airborne transmission—yes, in 2025. Unfuckingbelievable. So unnecessary, maddening, irresponsible, & dangerous. #MasksInHealthcare
This isn’t fearmongering — it’s reality. Hospital-acquired COVID can delay care or cost you your health — even your life.
Infection control measures — masks, ventilation, testing, and staff/patient protections — should be standard care in every healthcare setting.

It's utterly devastating to see decades of progress for the disability community being wiped out in just a few months.
There was of course much work to be done, but now that effort will have to be devoted to clawing back the gains now being ripped away.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.
Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says
The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.
