Wer ein halbes Jahr nach Einführung der 12-Uhr-Regel immer noch nicht mitbekommen hat, dass die Preise jeden Mittag stark steigen (und dass man deshalb nur Preise der selben Uhrzeit sinnvoll vergleichen kann), sollte vielleicht lieber nicht über Benzinpreise berichten.

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

I think about this every time someone complains to me about @deutschebahn.com 👇 "Between Badajoz and Entroncamento there are two trains a day. But nobody complains because no one takes that train there. Passengers do not complain about trains they cannot take, because those trains do not exist."

Danke @ricardalang.eurosky.social Es sind gekränkte Neoliberale wie Ulf Poschardt, die den Kulturkampf forcieren. Ihnen geht es nicht um Freiheit, sondern gegen jede Regulation des Marktes - deswegen machen sie die Demokratie verächtlich. Mit bürgerlich im positiven Sinne hat das nichts zu tun.

Nothing to see here, just the global US deterrence capability being wasted in an unsuccessful attempt to get at least to a draw in a disastrous war the Trump admin started without a plan. These interceptors could've been used to defend Ukrainian civilians, or to deter China.

In ovo sexing allows farmers to figure out the sex of chicks at the embryo stage, discarding eggs containing males. Adopting the technology means farmers avoid grinding up male chicks on their first day of life. The practice has already spared hundreds of millions of chicks from that fate in Europe.

Until the end of July, this was the 2nd worst wildfire year since 2006 for the EU. But: "Many countries in Western Europe are having a bad wildfire year. Those in the Balkans and Southern Europe, a comparatively quiet one." Once again, @hannahritchie.bsky.social putting the numbers in context! ⬇️

Do more Europeans die of summer heat than Americans die of guns? Europe is doing a bad job of protecting itself from life-threatening heat. That the US has disproportionately high rates of gun deaths compared to other rich countries is also bad. The two are not mutually exclusive.

I'd argue that pushing for degrowth will likely have corrosive effects on broad public suppport for stringent climate policy. Given that degrowth is essentially one big device for turning ever more policy domains into zero- or even negative-sum games, the room for Pareto-improving policies shrinks
