"The UK is breaking #heat and #rainfall records increasingly frequently as its climate continues to warm, the Met Office has warned.
"The country's changing weather patterns mean the UK now experiences a 'notably different' climate to what it was just a few decades ago, its State of the UK Climate report says.
"We now have many more very hot days and many fewer extremely cold nights, according to this latest assessment.
"It shows just how much #GlobalWarming caused by the vast emissions of #GreenhouseGases our civilisation creates is reshaping the country's climate.
"Climate change is bringing more #SevereWeather events like #storms and #flooding - and inevitably the country's changing climate is having an impact on the #NaturalWorld, with some species suffering.
"The report focuses on 2024, when the UK experienced its second-warmest February, warmest May, warmest spring, fifth-warmest December, and fifth-warmest winter since records began in 1884.
"The Met Office highlights that some of these records have already been surpassed in 2025 - more evidence of this trend towards more extreme weather.
"This summer many parts of the country are in the throes of their third heatwave with very warm weather reaching into #Wales, #NorthernIreland and #Scotland as well as southern #England."
Some of the withheld money funds after-school and summer programming at Boys & Girls Clubs, the #YMCA or #PublicSchools, attended by 1.4 million children and teenagers nationwide
By BIANCA VÁZQUEZ TONESS Updated 5:12 PM EDT, July 14, 2025
Excerpt: "At the East Providence summer camp, Aiden, a rising third grader, played tag, built structures with magnetic tiles, played a fast-paced game with the other kids to review addition and subtraction, learned about pollination, watched a nature video and ate club-provided chicken nuggets.
"Veteran teachers from his school corrected him when he spoke without raising his hand and offered common-sense advice when a boy in his group said something inappropriate.
" 'When someone says something inappropriate, you don’t repeat it,' teacher Kayla Creighton told the boys between answering their questions about horseflies and honeybees.
"Indeed, it’s hard to find a more middle-of-the road organization in this country than the Boys & Girls Club.
"Just last month, a Republican and a Democrat sponsored a resolution in the U.S. House celebrating the 165-year-old organization as a 'beacon of hope and opportunity.' The Defense Department awarded the club $3 million in 1991 to support children left behind when their parents deployed for the Persian Gulf. And ever since, the Boys & Girls Club has created clubs on military installations to support the children of service members. Military families can sign up their kids for free.
[...]
"Aiden’s mother has started looking into afternoon child care for September when kids return to school in Rhode Island.
" 'It costs $220 a week,' Reyes said, her eyes expanding. 'I can’t afford that.'
"The single mother and state worker said she’ll probably ask her 14-year-old son to stay home and watch Aiden. That will mean he would have to forgo getting a job when he turns 15 in the fall and couldn’t play basketball and football.
" 'I don’t have any other option,' she said.
"At home, Aiden would likely stay inside on a screen. That would be heartbreaking since he’s thrived getting tutoring and 'learning about healthy boundaries' from the Boys & Girls Club program, Reyes said."
'Katz said initially 600,000 people would move there, and eventually Gaza’s entire population. Those inside would only be allowed to leave for another country, he told Israeli journalists at a briefing'. The people proposing this are barbarians and any foreign government turning a blind eye to this disgusting proposal is no better than those proposing it.
I'm not sad about life or death but I actually would love to live forever. As long as I wasn't too frail, I could absolutely find something wonderful to do every day for eternity. My whole philosophy is to enjoy every day you get. Life is precious and fleeting, that does give an added push to try to get the most out of the time you have but my point of view is to enjoy every moment no matter how much time there is left. @ThatCrazyDude @Humpleupagus
@Humpleupagus I was thinking more about the ultimate boredom you'd experience after you've done literally everything there is because of the unlimited time you have for doing stuff, so it kinda goes beyond dead hookers
@Humpleupagus thinking human lifespan scale, or even thinking from stone age to today, kinda like "the man from earth" story, great movie btw, sure. But when you start thinking infinity.... Kinda different story ;)
An Israeli proposal to transfer Gaza residents to a so-called “humanitarian city” has come under fire, with critics describing it as, at best, a costly diversion and, at worst, a potential first step toward expelling Palestinians from their land.Isr
Selling England by the pound taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0… Why is England (and I do mean England, in particular) in such decline? That's because the City put up a 'For Sale' sign over it in the 1980s, and the logic still is that everything must go.

Immediately after Trump announced what he called the “final proposal” for a Gaza deal, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu undermined the negotiating process, repeatedly announcing—in public—his intent to continue the war after securing the release of ten living Israeli captives in a temporary 60-day truce and to forge ahead with his ethnic cleansing campaign to force the surviving Palestinians out of Gaza. “After the pause, we will transfer the population in the Strip southward and impose a siege [on the rest of Gaza],” Netanyahu told far-right cabinet minister Bezalel Smotrich recently, according to Israel’s Channel 12.

"El alcalde de #TorrePacheco está diciendo que tiene un problema de delincuencia. Pues vamos a los datos.
Datos de 2024. Torre Pacheco tiene una tasa de 48 delitos por cada 1.000 habitantes, que es justo la media nacional. La misma, que es de 48 delitos por cada 1.000 habitantes.
Para que pongáis en perspectica. En Madrid la tasa es de 62 delitos por cada 1000 hb, en Barcelona es de 68 por cada 1000 hb, en Valencia es de 50 y en Sevilla es de 54. Es decir, Torre Pacheco es más seguro que las grandes ciudades.
Pero si lo comparamos con Murcia es de 51 delitos por cada 1000 habitantes.
Ahora vamos por la tasa de inmigración.
En Torre Pacheco la tasa de inmigración es del 30%, cuando en Murcia es del 13%. Es decir, en Murcia hay más delincuencia con menos de la mitad de porcentaje de inmigración con respecto a su población. En Sevilla, que tiene una tasa de delitos mayor la tasa de inmigración es del 7,5%. Cuatro veces menor.
Sé que los datos no sirven demasiado para los que odian, pero si sirve para que alguien con buena voluntad abra los ojos y para desmentir al alcalde del PP de Torre Pacheco aquí están." Antonio Maestre
This headline is ridiculous. The US is currently cracking down on the people who harvest US tomatoes and sending them to a swamp concentration camp with no representation and due process, and publicly hoping people get eaten by alligators.

"Between 1/3 and 1/2 of all farmworkers in America reside in California, or roughly 500,000 - 800,000 farmworkers. Approximately 1/3 are women, and they range in age from their teens to their 60s. In addition there are 400,000 children working in U.S. fields; See Eva Longoria’s documentary about children farmwokers, The Harvest/La Cosecha."
California, as an agricultural state, has about 1/3 of all farmworkers living here in the country with somewhere between 471,000 and 626,000 FW. Most are Mexican or of Mexican descent.

Das „Selbstbestimmungsgesetz“ hat seinen Namen nicht verdient
"Rechtliche #Selbstbestimmung in Bezug auf das Geschlecht: Das verspricht die Ampelregierung mit ihrem neuen Gesetzesentwurf. Halten kann sie dieses Versprechen nicht."
Rechtliche Selbstbestimmung in Bezug auf das Geschlecht: Das verspricht die Ampelregierung mit ihrem neuen Gesetzesentwurf. Halten kann sie dieses Versprechen nicht. - Ein Kommentar von Ivan Barker
"Selbstbestimmungsgesetz" = Transpersonen unter Generalverdacht und "Überprüfung" durch #Verfassungsschutz, Militärgeheimdienst, BKA, #Polizei, Zoll usw.?!
Klar, sowas wie die #Unschuldsvermutung ist dem Staat immer lästig, Innenminister*innen noch etwas mehr und der amtierenden Rechtspopulistin von der #SPD ohnehin.
Wen wundert's noch, dass dann auch ein "Selbstbestimmungsgesetz" dem Staat dazu dienen soll, Minderheiten unter Generalverdacht zu stellen und ihre sensible Daten den ganzen "Sicherheits"-Behörden zu übergeben. Dabei sind diese Behörden für ihre rechtsradikalen Umtriebe und Strukturen bekannt von denen auch Transpersonen bedroht sind!
Selbstbestimmung nur gegen Polizeikontrolle, Überwachung, Generalverdacht ist jedenfalls keine Selbstbestimmung!
Und zur Erinnerung: Das passiert gerade alles unter einer linksliberalen Regierung, die sich für sowas noch als "progressiv" feiern lässt.
Das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz sollte längst verabschiedet sein. Dann kam das Innenministerium mit einem Wunsch: Änderungen von Namen und Geschlecht sollen an den gesamten deutschen Sicherheitsapparat gemeldet werden. Ist das wirklich notwendig?
Die Rückkehr der "Transvestiten-Karteien" muss verhindert werden
‚Das Bundesinnenministerium von Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) plant ein Sonderregister für alle Menschen, die das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz in Anspruch genommen haben. Das ist nicht nur geschichtslos, sondern brandgefährlich.‘

Eigentlich musste man aus Sicherheitsgründen sämtliche Informationen die auf den veralteten korrigierten Stand hindeuten komplett tilgen so dass nicht mal mehr der Staat davon weiss.
Es ist einfach nur noch zum Heulen. Transpersonen wollen, wie alle Menschen, einfach nur in Frieden ihr Leben leben. Und weil einige andere Menschen Angst vor dem Verlust ihrer Machposition in ihrer kleingeistigen, engstirnigen, uninspirierten Welt haben, unterdrücken und terrorisieren sie sie. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Queerfeindlichkeit in ganz Europa: Sehnsucht nach dem Regenbogen-Monster
"In Russland werden Ehen von Personen mit geändertem Geschlechtseintrag annuliert, in Italien lesbische Eltern unterdrückt. (...) Es ist eine romantische Sehnsucht nach dem Regenbogen-Monster. Viktor Orbán hat diese Woche bei einem Besuch in Rumänien schon wieder die Schlechtenachtgeschichte vom „großen Austausch“ erzählt. Die EU organisiere „den Bevölkerungsaustausch durch Migration“, sagte Orbán und sprach dann von einer „LGBT-Offensive der EU gegen die familienfreundlichen Nationen Europas“."
So why has the ECHR not intervened in this? In the UK they would. BUT in the UK, we have organistions that would stand up and bring cases before the ECHR in order to protect the group(s) that are affected by leglislation for example.
it's high time #ECHR takes actual #consequences and if not the #EU, then at least have @AuswaertigesAmt condemn this reactionary & facist crap already.

Reeves should know well that all evidence says trickle down is a myth. Deregulating capitalism makes the rich even richer. Nonsense from a so-called called Labour Chancellor.
RED TAPE is capitalism's code word for regulation, which it thinks is all about simply costing them more money to do business. But in reality, the regulations are there to protect consumers and citizens from the short-cuts and skimpings that deregulated capitalism would foist on us - dodgy buildings, cars falling apart, consumer goods not safe etc. Red Tape keeps us safe and the capitalists honest.

New, at KrebsOnSecurity.com: Marko Elez, a 25-year-old employee at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has been granted access to sensitive databases at the U.S. Social Security Administration, the Treasury and Justice departments, and the Department of Homeland Security. So it should fill all Americans with a deep sense of confidence to learn that Mr. Elez over the weekend inadvertently published a private key that allowed anyone to interact directly with more than four dozen large language models (LLMs) developed by Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI.
Philippe Caturegli, “chief hacking officer” at the security consultancy Seralys, said the exposed API key allowed access to at least 52 different LLMs used by xAI. The most recent LLM in the list was called “grok-4-0709” and was created on July 9, 2025.
Grok, the generative AI chatbot developed by xAI and integrated into Twitter/X, relies on these and other LLMs (a query to Grok before publication shows Grok currently uses Grok-3, which was launched in Feburary 2025). Earlier today, xAI announced that the Department of Defense will begin using Grok as part of a contract worth up to $200 million. The contract award came less than a week after Grok began spewing antisemitic rants and invoking Adolf Hitler.
Mr. Elez did not respond to a request for comment. The code repository containing the private xAI key was removed shortly after Caturegli notified Elez via email. However, Caturegli said the exposed API key still works and has not yet been revoked.
America is going out with quite the whimper at the hands of the least intelligent people it has to offer. I'd almost feel proud if it were a bunch of geniuses born and raised here that were carrying out the country's destruction. Instead, it's Brick from the movie "Anchorman" with a bad spray tan, and a South African immigrant that lived here illegally in the 90s, and has now hired some random douchebros off the side of the road to dismantle Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, the Department of Education... basically everything being tracked on project2025.observer/
Could we make it easier? Maybe adverserial hackers would enjoy a refreshment & shoulder massage as they're led comfortably into every aspect of government infrastructure?
“If a developer can’t keep an API key private, it raises questions about how they’re handling far more sensitive government information behind closed doors,” Caturegli told KrebsOnSecurity.
this myth of the private sector geniuses needs to end. Musk should surely be evidence enough that it’s often just smoke and mirrors, chutzpah and paid PR. Ok. And gullible fans and investors.
> However, Caturegli said the exposed API key still works and has not yet been revoked.
> While still at Treasury, Elez resigned after The Wall Street Journal linked him to social media posts that advocated racism and eugenics. When Vice President J.D. Vance lobbied for Elez to be rehired, President Trump agreed and Musk reinstated him.
EU trade ministers agreed Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of 30% tariffs on the European Union was “absolutely unacceptable,” and they are studying a new set of countermeasures to respond to the move. The ministers met Monday in Brussels following Trump’s surprise announcement over the weekend of such hefty tariffs, which could have repercussions for governments, companies and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic. #us #usa #news #America #trump #tarrifs #europe #EU
