Brexit wasn’t a pint of British
sovereignty 🍺🇬🇧

It was a Russian cocktail 🍸 mixed with Kremlin influence, US hedge funds, and media moguls.

And public got the hangover as elites pocketed the profits.

Hypernationalism and victimhood: Fascists exhibit an extreme form of nationalism, viewing their nation as a victim of internal or external enemies that threaten its power or purity. This sense of victimhood is used to justify any action against these supposed enemies.

A study in Nature Climate Change shows that the ocean carbon sink unexpectedly declined in 2023 despite record-high sea surface temperatures (SSTs), primarily due to SST-driven outgassing of CO2 in the subtropics. 🌊 🧪
Unexpected decline in the ocean carbon sink under record-high sea surface temperatures in 2023 - Nature Climate Change
The ocean carbon sink strengthened in previous warm El Niño years due to reduced CO2 outgassing in the tropics. Here the authors show that the ocean carbon sink declined in 2023 despite record-high sea surface temperatures (SSTs), primarily due to SST-driven outgassing of CO2 in the subtropics.

Menstrual blood was messy, it was imprecise, it was difficult to collect…Why bother when the disease could be diagnosed with surgery?”🧪

*WHY BOTHER* discovering a NON-SURGICAL diagnostic method???

Because nope icky period blood
So, right now, the only reliable way to diagnose endometriosis is with exploratory surgery. But finally, real scientists (instead of male scientists), are on the job & of course they’ve identified multiple markers in menstrual blood that point to noninvasive testing.

Others saw it as a way of continuing to encourage his followers to accept his word rather than that of anyone else. Hitler Mussolini and Franco each systematically sowed distrust in the scientific consensus of their day to instead forward politically motivated theories of racial purity and eugenics.

Say what you like about Macron but he can still give an impassioned speech, this one in defence of multilateralism

“The United Nations is all of us

We have no right to cynicism
We have no right to fatigue
We have no right to the spirit of defeat”

How absurd to frame Ukrainian victory as a "task" given to Zelensky by Trump! Zelensky does what he does because he has a democratic mandate from Ukrainian society. If Ukrainian society gives up on reclaiming territory, the Ukrainian govt will adjust its military and diplomatic goals...
CNN: Zelensky is no longer pressured to concede territory, but now faces a different impossible task: reclaiming land Ukraine couldn’t retake during the 2023 counteroffensive. Both paths are difficult and risk weakening his position and Ukraine’s future.

Denmark and Greenland are offering apologies for their governments' roles in the historic mistreatment of Greenlandic girls and women. An independent investigation found that Inuit victims were either fitted with IUDs or given hormonal birth control injections in cases that date to the 1960s.
