Jag vet inte jag, men den officiella versionen där pappa Forssell informerade sin son om att nazism faktiskt var dåligt och sonen direkt sa ”jaha, det visste jag inte, då ska jag sluta” känns något tunn.

"Heavy rain and drought dampen economic growth" by 0.5% in the EU, 0.6% in the US, according to a new analysis by Allianz Research.

Kommersant reports that Starovoyt was implicated in a major embezzlement scheme that siphoned away money allocated to building defenses along the Ukraine border. Kursk's jailed former governor testified against him. Starovoyt reportedly went home after getting fired and shot himself in his Tesla. https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/7871214?tg

"Preaching pickles to the cucumbers" is a regional English idiom common in the southwestern united states that roughly translates to "a fear of vinegar is a natural aversion to have, especially in the context of prolonged and extensive exposure," or, as the full idiom explains, "don't take a pickle bath when a pickle shower will do." This highlights the regional preference for short and rare exposure to vinegar

Det är rent ut sagt katastrofalt att Magnus Ranstorp återkommande får kommentera i egenskap av oberoende expert när han 1) skriver ledare på SvD:s ledarsida och 2) är utredare åt regeringen

Grok is on Twitter confirming that DOGE cuts instituted by Elon Musk are to blame for reducing NWS/NOAA’s effectiveness at providing accurate weather forecasts in the recent Texas floods.

Between USAID and NWS/NOAA cuts, there’s already enough material to start a “DOGE death toll” website.

Facts over feelings.

Latin America’s top human rights court says countries have a duty to act on climate change.

In a landmark advisory opinion, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled that governments have a legal obligation to tackle climate change. #ClimateChange

The team behind Trump's World Liberty Financial project has proposed lifting restrictions on the WLFI "governance token" to make it tradeable. I predicted shortly after its launch that if Trump succeeded in gutting the SEC, he would do this.

This would lift the substantial restrictions on the token (non-US or accredited investors only, locked tokens with no secondary sales) that were aimed at sidestepping attention from the previous SEC, and could be enormously lucrative for Trump.

Tesla is more profitable than traditional automakers because it earns billions by selling emissions credits to companies that fail to meet fuel-efficiency (CAFE) standards.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act ends those penalties. Additionally the OBBBA also ends the $7500 tax credit on new EV purchases.

Between the OBBBA and Tesla’s declining sales, this may be the year Elon’s reality distortion field keeping $TSLA stock defying gravity finally breaks down.

Happy #Higgsdependence Day! Today is the anniversary of the discovery the Higgs Particle. The discovery was announced July 4, 2012.

The existence of the Higgs is the sign that fundamental symmetry is broken in nature. Perfect symmetry is not good for a universe like ours. With it, intrinsic mass as we know it cannot exist. Today we celebrate freedom from mathematical symmetry ... a universe made wonderful by its disrespect for sameness.

The Guadeloupe River @ Comfort, Texas rose 12.93 feet in 15 minutes this morning. That's 10.34" per minute or an inch every 6 SECONDS. That's one of the fastest rises I've ever seen. Very hard to get away from that kind of flash flooding.

"As #space junk increases, more operators are choosing to launch without any #insurance at all. To compensate, companies are cutting back on the cost of satellites and launching more of them at faster rates, thus creating a feedback loop as the cheaper satellites break up more easily and add to the problem. Behind the predicament are two vectors moving in opposite directions: The cost of launching satellites is falling, while the cost of insuring them continues to soar.”

Remember in 1996 when a group of Christian women battered the living shit out of a BAE Hawk aircraft and got acquitted at trial. I'll jog your memory:

Seeds of Hope (the Ploughshares four), which  was a group of four women who, in 1996, broke into a British Aerospace factory and used hammers to damage a Hawk fighter jet. Their action was a protest to prevent the plane's sale to Indonesia for use in the conflict in East Timor. The women were acquitted of criminal damage after arguing they were acting to prevent the greater crime of genocide. They caused about £1.5mill of damage.

Oj Johan, hur går det med föräldraskapet? Det är liksom inte bra om du inte visste vad familjemedlemmen gör, och inte bra om du visste det heller, eftersom Säpo *inte* var informerade.
