Why do we have a Far Right government when we voted in Labour?
Ministers now appear to be confirming in broadcast interviews that they would audit and could confiscate assets (including jewellery) excepting wedding rings from the jewellery that they could confiscate.

Trump is right: The US is going through a golden age.

If with “golden age” you mean an absurd amound of golden interior decoration in the white house and an utterly dystopian police state outside of it.

Ursula von der Leyen. There is not a single European politician for which I feel more hatred.
"The EU’s climate legislation is being sacrificed at the altar of Trump appeasement," writes @davekeating.substack.com. "Washington now thinks it has a veto over European laws. And based on the recent actions of our European politicians, they are not wrong." davekeating.substack.com/p/the-eu-par...
The EU Parliament now has a right-wing majority
President von der Leyen's centre-right EPP yesterday broke the centrist coalition, joining with the far right in order to pass the climate deregulation demanded by Trump.

I didn’t really mind Schoof as a PM, all things considered. Of course I’d much prefer Jetten, but still.

Perhaps the most important thing to understand about the climate crisis
Climate breakdown is driven by a storm of lies. This lying is systemic, funded and coordinated, and operates across almost all media, old and new.
This week's column argues that we cannot fight the climate crisis without also fighting the epistemic crisis.

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot
The fundamental problem is this: that most of the means of communication are owned or influenced by the very rich, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I have a nonstandard view on the footbridge trolley problem. Neither deontological, nor consequentialist, nor virtue-based. Will share later.

Not the other way around. One can be epistemically humble without endorsing pluralism.
Epistemic humility follows from pluralism
