#France and #Switzerland shut down #NuclearPower plants amid scorching #heatwave

By Euronews, Published on 02/07/2025

To cool down, nuclear power plants pump water from local rivers or the sea, which they then release back into water bodies at a higher temperature. However, this process can threaten local #biodiversity if water is released which is too hot.

KCNA Report on Completion of Coastal Tourist Resort in Myongsasimni of Kalma Peninsula #DPRK kfauk.com/kcna-report-on-compl…

KCNA Report on Completion of Coastal Tourist Resort in Myongsasimni of Kalma Peninsula - KFAUK.com

Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) — The Korean Central News Agency Thursday released a report on the wonderful completion of Korean-style coastal tourist city, a cultural resort of the people, in Myongsasimni, a scenic spot in the east coast.

Many in the US got a propaganda message from the Social Security Administration last night. It says, "The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy." That sounds great, but I haven't seen any fact-checking on this email, and it seems that there will be zero benefit for the majority.
From Yahoo finance: The new temporary tax break — $6,000 for individuals and $12,000 for couples — is for tax filers age 65 and older. It starts phasing out for those who earn over $75,000 ($150,000 for couples). “Low-income seniors won’t benefit at all, and nor will very high- income seniors,” Marc Goldwein, senior policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan group that advocates for fiscal responsibility, told Yahoo Finance. “The biggest beneficiaries are upper-middle-class seniors with significant wealth, who have a lot of discretion over how much income to realize in a given year,” he said. To be clear, this provision does not eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits as Trump promised in the campaign. It is a temporary income tax deduction, not a cut in the Social Security tax. The new deduction could also accelerate Social Security and Medicare insolvency by a year, to 2032, per an analysis from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.

Just so you know where my skill level is for #soldering repairs…
I probably spent longer than any ration people trying to de-solder the relay and wondering why nothing was reaching temperature UNTIL i decide to snip off the relay that was absorbing all the heat.

My dinky soldering gun was a probably a contributing factor.

I need a soldering bootcamp with hands on experience with real tools.

Brazil’s #COP30 chief André Corrêa do Lago insists that ramping up oil and gas production is perfectly compatible with fighting climate change, because, apparently, fossil fuels and global warming are best friends now.

Meanwhile, Brazil’s state oil giant Petrobras is planning one of the world’s biggest oil production surges.

How better to showcase climate leadership than by doubling down on oil drilling.

Mayor Wu kicked off her extended Fourth of July weekend not by addressing payroll chaos at City Hall — but by blasting Donald Trump.

In a sharply worded statement released Thursday, Wu denounced Trump’s “so-called Big Beautiful Bill,” accusing him of targeting Boston families while giving “massive tax cuts to billionaires.”

Wu specifically framed the bill as a threat to her climate agenda, warning that Trump’s plan would gut clean energy programs that are “powering the region’s economy.”

Mayor Wu’s Trump statement came just hours before the City shut down for the long weekend — and with paychecks missing, her critics say she appeared more focused on national headlines than local responsibility.

A breeding-age female only has a few things to offer: looks, character and an unused vagina.

If she lets rando men splooge in her, because in the final analysis, boyfriends are merely rando men, long after females grow up, she becomes akin to a low-value, used car.

A female of character does not engage in rando sex, esteems herself, pursues self-development to elevate herself, does not defile her body in any way.

@relentless_eduardo

If you believe it is fine to swive rando guys until the right one comes along, then you are forced to believe that a female working as a prostitute or in porn like Bonnie Blue or Lily Philips swiving 101 men in 24 hours is equally fine, the same, and an option for oneself or one's daughters or granddaughters.

A difference in degree does not create a difference in kind.

"A female of character does not engage in rando sex, esteems herself, pursues self-development to elevate herself, does not defile her body in any way."

we have a collection of value judgements here, which rely, among other defects, on circular logic.

e.g.
- "esteems herself", as if having rando sex implied or necessitated a lack of self-esteem
which also relies on the very shaky meaning of self esteem.
- "self-development" need not contradict either rando sex or prostitution,

Nick Fuentes of America First likes the Big Beautiful Bill because it contains $150 billion for border security and to build a wall between us and Mexico.

But there is one thing no one is talking about: Trump had to do a Backroom Deal to get the bill passed: He agreed to Amnesty for millions of illegal alien workers.

Fuentes explains what happened beginning at 4:20:31 of this video.

Why is the United Nations not doing more to stop the starvation in Gaza?

The UN Security Council will not intervene in Gaza, writes a former UN staffer. This does not mean that UN member states cannot.

Who will?

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:

icm.csic.es/en/news/major-reve…

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:

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."

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.
