The Trump gang just took down a bunch of legally mandated climate assessments. Meanwhile, here in actual reality, the climate doesn't give a fuck:
“We are witnessing a true reversal of ocean circulation in the Southern Hemisphere—something we’ve never seen before. While the world is debating the potential collapse of the AMOC [Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation] in the North Atlantic, we’re seeing that the SMOC is not just weakening, but has reversed. This could have unprecedented global climate impacts.”
That's a quote from Antonio Turiel, one author of a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This study found that since 2016, the water in parts of the Antarctic Ocean is getting more salty. This suggests that the deep ocean circulation in the southern hemisphere—known as the SMOC—has reversed. Instead of sinking into the depths, surface water is now being replaced by deep water coming up to the surface.
This reversal seems to be driving the accelerated melting of sea ice in the Antarctic Ocean:
This web page from the Institut de Ciències del Mar says
"In the long term, this process could double current atmospheric CO₂ concentrations by releasing carbon that has been stored in the deep ocean for centuries—potentially with catastrophic consequences for the global climate."
But never mind, just close your eyes. Don't read this:
• Alessandro Silvano et al, Rising surface salinity and declining sea ice: A new Southern Ocean state revealed by satellites, pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2500…
@ArchaeoIain - yes, the web page from the Institut de Ciències del Mar extrapolates a bit:
"The upwelling of deep, warm, CO₂-rich waters is believed to be driving the accelerated melting of sea ice in the Southern Ocean. In the long term, this process could double current atmospheric CO₂ concentrations by releasing carbon that has been stored in the deep ocean for centuries—potentially with catastrophic consequences for the global climate."
The catastrophe unfolding in Gaza cannot be understood solely through the lens of humanitarian crisis. What we are witnessing is not just a tragic consequence of war, but the deliberate use of starvation as a tool of political and demographic control. This strategy, designed to dismantle Palestinian society, amounts to a form of structural genocide.

"The developers behind hundreds of Android and iPhone apps with billions of downloads are former Israeli spies whose apps are generating significant revenues for Israel’s genocidal war economy.
The apps I’ve identified range from innocuous image and video editing apps to casual games, and most users won’t be aware they’re installing Israeli products on their phones. Many of these app developers operate under the radar, their ownership structures are opaque and the identity of their owners isn’t commonly known."

“If we defeat the government’s attempts to destroy our organization, victory in our fight against Elbit is near,” a spokesperson for Palestine Action told us this week.
Children should be protected from the social constructionists that let them make undergo life altering medical treatments for a possibly temporary confusion about their sex. Something that is by no means surprising given the amount of synthetic hormones we are exposed to combined with gender-confusing naratives in media.
I don't think anyone is going to undergo a sex change, just based on reading a book. It could help though to understand what transgenders are going through and to create a bit of empathy for them. But empathy is a forbidden emotion these days. @gvs
Children are confused about many things, that's why we don't let them make permanent decisions. Secondly, the bombardment of hormones in our water, in forever plastics and crappy food have sharply changed our hormones. Teenage boys today have the testosterone level that our grandfathers had at 70. Don't tell met that doesn't affect them.
Again. I suspect you are fine with banning books, and specifically banning books to children. Just not these books.
I have a lot of empathy for transgenders, who I think are mostly affected by the combination of social manipulation and messed up hormones into taking treatments that forever sterilizes them. Though as a libertarian I will not put anything in their way of harming themselves, I think they actually need help accepting who they really are instead of undergoing mutulation.
@gvs I'm not fine with banning books. Banning books is censorship. I have a collection of books at home that once upon a time have been forbidden somewhere in the world and some of them still are. You can't forbid a book because you don't like the content. If you have a problem with it, you don't have to read it, or you discuss why you have opposing views, with arguments. There are age classifications for children when it comes to books, movies, ... That's enough to protect them. @glynmoody
Just to poke you, how about for example mein kampf? To be clear, for adults I think there should be 0 banned books.
For kids, we also agree on the principle that there shoudl be age classifications, but we don't agree what should be classified for what age. The people Glyn is critizing put an age classification on books they think can harm kids and I agree with them. Even though we in Belgium did not have rules on those materials, I kept them away from mine and chose the least bad schools (Christian ones) to protect them
@gvs when I say, I'm not a lover of banning books, that includes books like Mein Kampf. And you won't find explicit children's books about transgenders, you'll find books about the topic that are age appropriate and that helps them to understand what it is. There's no need to ban those. They can find more, and less age appropriate, information on the internet if they are interested in the topic. I would rather have them reading that book then. @glynmoody
We disagree about what it (transgenderism) is and age appropriate. Also, that ideology is pushing for medical treatment on minors, which I believe to be absolutely morally corrupt. Adults can do whatever they like (but I don't have to go along with that either)
@gvs it's not an ideology. And it's not pushing anything. If you knew what is involved before they start medical or even hormone treatment. It's quite the opposite from pushing this to minors. And the entire process takes a lot of time before they start the treatment. @glynmoody
actually all youth of all sexual orientations should be protected
that is the excuse the commies are using to pervert the schools
the biggest political mistake of gays and trans was to allow the commies to exploit them to mount a revolution
but we must separate gays and trans youth from the commies. peel them away from the left, add them to maga, as long as they don't force themselves on little kids
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency news service is not a bad source if you want reporting from that perspective that won't affect your blood pressure (the events reported on might, but not the reporting). It's extremely plain matter-of-fact, A says X, B responded Y, with little editorialising or opinion material, or discernible politics of its own. Allegations quoted at length and attributed, responses quoted at length, in either direction. No looking out the window to see whether it is raining, but at least neutral reporting on the “is it raining or not" debate from the outside, without name-calling, sensationalising, or actively stoking controversy.
Between Haaretz or The Forward their mix of stating plain truths sometimes and harebrained nonsense other times, and Jewish Currents being all opinions and essays, this might offer something slightly different.
Why you should NOT fly the US flag... ...unless you're gay, and you love niggers. 🤷♂️

Independence Day Message from Nick Fuentes America First
"Celebrate, but on Independence Day it’s important to reflect upon the fact that we are an Occupied Nation . . . As long as our presidents have to kiss the wall in Israel and wear a small hat. As long as they have to say that we want to make Israel great again and that they’re the greatest country ever. As long as we have Lubavitchers running around the White House, we’re not a free nation . ." (Begins at 3:26:57)
La #Russie a lancé la plus importante frappe en #Ukraine, avec 539 drones et 11 missiles signalés, principalement à #Kiev. Elle a de nouveau visé et touché l'usine aéronautique #Antonov et la zone de l'aéroport de #Zhuliany à Kiev. Deux immeubles d'habitation y ont été endommagés. Aucun civil n'a été tué lors de la frappe. Les cibles militaires et les infrastructures critiques touchées ne sont pas signalées, conformément à la censure de guerre.

This week, Denmark received 4 more of the new F-35s which will replace the F-16s we have donated to Ukraine.
This brings the number of delivered F-35s to 21, and sometime in 2026, we will have received all of the 27 planes we ordered from Lockheed Martin back in 2016.
27 planes may sound like a lot for a tiny island nation, but The Kingdom of Denmark also includes Greenland which is so long it could reach from Canada to Mexico if it was placed on top of the US.
and we have bought the wrong planes....these are flying software platforms, controlled by the US....should have gotten these: saab.com/products/gripen-e-ser…

The report instead demonstrates a complete falsification of a document used specifically to incite a coup against a duly elected POTUS .
