When I grew up six decades ago in the Netherlands we skated in the winter and had two days over 90 in the summer.
Now there is no ice to skate on and there are temperatures over 100 in the summer. Seems something is going on. Are we to blame? Here is a "our" energy consumption over time.

This Republican budget bill is basically a massive 🖕 to everyday Americans.

Just look at the spending/cutting line items.

The symbolism of all this is breathtaking. First of all, as an educated person you’d know Venice is where you’d go to die rather than to get married. Second, Venice itself is dying. So what do you do? But of course 95 privat jets is gonna help the matter. youtu.be/WKvbSu1kvW4?...

I’ve just learned that yesterday’s attack destroyed the Kyiv office and warehouse of Ukrainian Priority publishing house.

Over 130 titles - tens of thousands of books - burned.
Among them: a series on Ukraine’s history from Scythian times to today.

It begins with illegal deportations. It continues with targeting political opponents. Next comes the imprisonment of citizens considered less than human - Liberals, LGBTQ, POC, intellectuals, the disabled.

The Republican Party is building a Nazi State in plain view.

Because this is who they are.

Last year, Nature posed a question: “The US is the world’s scientific superpower–but for how long?” Not even a year later, the cracks are already visible.

Köp gärna en bra bok eller två från ellerströms förlag så att de kan fortsätta ge ut bra böcker i en dålig tid! (Inklusive, om gudarna vill, kanske en stollighet från mig nästa år.) Poesi, samtidsromaner, essäer, antika dramer, m m.
