De grote bezuiniging op het WO heeft grote gevolgen voor Rijksuniversiteit Groningen.

Sowieso verdwijnen er 300 banen en werkdruk loopt nog meer op.

Daarom staken we op 9 dec! Om D66 aan belofte te houden.

The war criminals - including the soldiers who fired, the minister of war who insisted they should do so. and the commander in chief who gave the order - should face court martial!

Marco Rubio knew the truth 9 years ago, but he sold his soul for power. Yet he was correct: He will one day have to explain his support for Trump, and this is not going to end well.
A screenshot of a social media post from “Republicans against Trump.” The post quotes Marco Rubio from 2016 criticizing Donald Trump. Below the text is a CNN interview screenshot showing a man in a suit speaking with U.S. and Florida flags behind him. The on-screen chyron reads: “RUBIO: TRUMP RHETORIC LIKE ‘THIRD-WORLD STRONG MEN’” and “Sen. Marco Rubio (R) Presidential Candidate.”

Iceland has designated the potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) a national security concern and an existential threat.

Yet still fossil fuel usage continues to grow, and they barely agreed to *name* the problem at #COP30.

Iceland has designated the potential collapse of a major Atlantic Ocean current system a national security concern and an existential threat, enabling its government to strategize for worst-case scenarios, the country's climate minister told Reuters.

The value of the life of a non-US citizen… .$1
atomicanalyst.bsky.social Stephen Schwartz @atomicanalyst.bsky.social · 20d
Today in 1952, the Boston Globe published an article by science writer Michael Amrine sharing the news that the hydrogen bomb—successfully tested for the first time 18 days earlier but not yet deployed—would enable the United States to conduct mass slaughter for the low, low cost of $1 per person.
Copy of a November 19, 1952, front-page article in the Boston Globe headlined: “Our New H-Bomb Makes Life Cheap * * * Costs $1 to Kill Super-Weapon Man With Atoms for Use on Cities * * * * * * Hydrogen Further It Brings War Reduces the Cost Home to Civilians” A note below the headlines and above the article reads, “Michael Amrine was the first person outside of Atomic Energy Commission to learn that work on the hydrogen bomb had begun. He was interviewing Senator Edwin C. Johnson, Dem., of Colorado, member of the Congressional Atomic committee, on a television broadcast three years ago this month at the time when the Senator disclosed that scientists were working on ‘a bomb 1,000 times more powerful than the bomb which fell on Hiroshima.’” An excerpt from the article: "The first atomic bombs cost approximately $2,000,000,000 in development—and each of the first few bombs cost $1,000,000 in themselves. Now the individual cost of each atomic bomb is said to be around $250,000, but with improved efficiency it is estimated that one bomb might kill 250,000 persons in New York—or Moscow. That is $1 per person, and even if one adds in the $4,000,000 for a B-36 bomber, if that is the means used, the atomic bomb is far more 'economical' than using fleets of bombers with ordinary bombs, or even using 1,000,000 men with 1,000,000 two-cent bullets."

#Groningen #aardbeving #gaswinning
Cartoon waarop een Gronings dorp te zien is met veel schade door aardbevingen. Er zitten scheuren in de huizen en de kerk, de daken zijn stuk, en muren worden gestut. Op het dorpsplein staat een groot monument, het woord 'SORRY' in grote witte letters. Op een bordje staat: Dit monument wordt u aangeboden door de Rijksoverheid, de NAM, Shell en Exxon.
