"We can't have clean energy because it will destroy the oil industry. We can't have healthcare because it will destroy the health insurance industry. We can't have peace because it will destroy the
weapon industry. Capitalism is a system which disables the option to do the right thing."

The UK has fined Bank of Scotland £160,000 for breaching sanctions against Russia. Regulators say the bank processed 24 payments worth about £77,000 in 2023 to an account held by a sanctioned individual. The penalty was announced on Monday. #Russia

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Ocean waters are aging? What?
Yes: we oceanographers call 'age' the time since deep ocean water was last in touch with the atmosphere. It is a measure of 'ventilation', deep vertical overturning of the ocean.
Data show this process is slowing: #AMOC slowdown.
That is bad news for climate, and there is a serious risk of the AMOC crossing a tipping point in the next few decades towards an unstoppable shutdown. One of the worst-case climate change nightmares.

Trump Will Try to Steal the Midterms; Let’s Plan Accordingly"

I've already posted this but it bears repeating. There won't be any "try." MAGAmoron will declare martial law before Nov 2026, cancel all elections and declare himself ruler for eternity.

MEDIA LITERACY REMINDER: The Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail editorial pages exhibit a human version of what in AI is termed "model collapse"—if you feed a language model on its own output, future output rapidly deteriorates into self-parody.

The owners of the right-wing press read their own media and it rotted their brains.

"Kentucky Gov Clowns Ted Cruz for Getting Duped By European Pic: ‘Sorry For Missing This… Been Busy Leading My State’"

No one ever accused cancun cruz of being a bright bulb.

@JonChevreau f'n insane, but also so, incredibly predictable: He sends his unwelcome thugs to MN, his VP announces "full immunity" for said thugs and his DHS follows the directive of lying no matter how obvious, but Chumpy is unhappy?!:D Now, he's either gonna double down on the lies if it makes him look stronger, or just throw his own gestapo under the bus.

'cause they don't want to be a well regulated militia. They just want the right to kill people who they, in their sole discretion deem to be domestic insurrectionists. Is that what they say? No. But as the old saw goes: watch their feet, not their lips. /fin

Scalise lies shamelessly: "The want to defund ICE. They defunded police. The police chief of Mpls said yesterday multiple times how stretched thin his department is. They don't have enough people because Mpls defunded the police." (Police were not defunded and MPD is stretched thin because of unrest caused by ICE)

@Free_Press Profits are important, in fact, profits are the highest priority. We will have profits regardless of who, what, why, when or how the rest of the world is destroyed.

Russia has found a route to ship microelectronics from Europe to Russia. Then, it is used for Russia's military purposes

Journalists used GPS trackers to trace the route of parcels sent through a network of employees of "Russian Post" in Germany. The shipments involve hundreds of tons of consignments that are regularly sent to Moscow.

All test parcels containing microelectronic components that were sent by the journalists reached Moscow without any obstacles.
