This table should give pause to everyone thinking about or planning to vote in the midterms - as it should to anyone in the EU voting for parties that are trying to emulate the US of these past couple of years.

What if you keep replying though? Would it actually fall silent if it burned through it's (supposed) tokens? Personally, I would want to find out where the buck stops :p The token limit as in the X post is also on their FAQ ilands.ai/faq#:~:text=....

Amazing the 'just morals' these people actually believe are to be defended, even to this extent. Completely lost the plot.

Apparently, the GENER8IONxYung Lean clip was shot in a Belgian school. The school is outraged, saying they were not aware of the violent and graphic content. They are going to use the money they got for it though. A quintessential Belgian attitude. www-vrt-be.translate.goog/vrtnws/nl/20...
Headline for article on Belgian news site VRT which reads: "More than 6 million views for music video filmed in Belgian school, but management "not at all pleased""
Also depicted the opening shot of the music video.Last paragraphs of the article which read:

""We only realized afterwards that some scenes are very violent and that there is also smoking. We do not want such images associated with our school," he concludes. 

The board was paid for the video clip. According to the school, that money will be used for renovations and educational materials. "

@garyseconomics.bsky.social In the @nytimes.com interview with Tucker Carlson, he talks about taxes & wealth hoarding multiple times. Are you seeing a strand of the conservative/rightwing moving into this mindspace and if so, what's the angle? Why now? Why so openly? Curious about your perspective
Part of Tucker Carlson's New York Times interview, quote: "Why is capital taxed at half the rate of labor? That’s a question that bothers me."Part of Tucker Carlson's New York Times interview, quote: "No one wants to talk about, why are capital gains taxes half those of tax on regular income? I think that’s like a critical debate. You will never have that debate. Have you ever asked a question about that? No, no one ever asked that."Part of Tucker Carlson's New York Times interview, quote: "So that’s a window into the total destruction of the economic opportunity for young people, and what looks to me as a non-economist like the true hoarding of capital by a tiny group of people, a very lopsided and unfair economic system guaranteed to radicalize young people — and not just young people, but especially young people. And so I think most future conversations politically will be about economics."

2026 has brought me a new job! I've joined Kompas, a Belgian non-profit supporting persons with disabilities in living, learning, working & free time. As Innovation Officer I'll bring in new technologies and approaches that uplift the human connection and give people more agency & resilience.

@jasonleopold.bsky.social on August 1st in the FOIA Files you wrote this. If the files are released with Trump's name redacted, could this be invoked as an argument that redacting his name is proof of government misconduct?
Snippet from @Jason Leopold's newsletter FOIA Files:
Also, FOIA case law has established that the names of private individuals contained in law enforcement files will not be released unless they have to be in order to confirm government misconduct.

Die voorlaatste alinea is opmerkelijk interessant! Dit zou willen zeggen dat je eindelijk, ook narratief, expliciet de kleine boer (niet multinational) naar voor schuift als de hoeder van de natuur, die agronomie én ecologie beheert als één systeem, als het ware als echte expert van de natuur.

Speculations are that the US informed Russia ahead of an attack and they send in Wagner to extract Maduro and bring him to Moscow. They are not after Maduro or even supporting regime change though:

So, the US HUD dept. official website decided to do this. www.hud.gov Also, there's a button for 'Website Feedback', that brings you to a form with some multiple choice questions, but also an open-ended 'How can we improve your experience on our website?' Wonder how that'll go.

This part of that 'article' should give you some general sense of what it's going for. Really curious to see where this is going to and if anybody here is more int he know.

Looking at all sustainable innovations waiting for regulatory easing in the EU, I think this @cos.io strategy makes sense in that context as well. Although, intuitively, I would think that bottom up it probably starts with Communities and has an extra layer of Regulation (= make it legal) after.
