The GBD said “natural immunity” would end the pandemic in 3-6 months.

That didn’t happen.

That’s literally all you need to know.

I went to a liberation-theory catholic school and this warms my heart.

I have nothing to say that I should say in public about this monster.

This victory came too late. And that’s on European leaders.
EU rule of law conditionality did work. Freezing funds helped. But it came too timidly, too slowly — held hostage by leaders unwilling to confront a fellow head of government.
The lesson must now apply faster. Slovakia is next.

Hegseth is a US force projection tool, for sure...

The cadence of AI is everywhere now.

It is going to become a fxxxxxxx thing now, isn't it

Depends on what they are really there for

Have you heard of the palace in Russia they found?

Women have been talking about them for decades, Chris.

Everyone on both sides of the anglophone Atlantic knows that 1946-2026 happened and is a lived experience, right?

Isabelle Adjani, jugée pour fraude fiscale à Paris, évoque sa « phobie des papiers » devant la cour d’appel de Paris L’artiste de 70 ans, déjà condamnée à deux ans d’emprisonnement avec sursis pour s’être fictivement domiciliée au Portugal en 2016 et 2017 et avoir dissimulé une donation en prêt en 2013, s’est décrit...

Adjani has Papyrophobia! I love it!

Good. Problem is, though, that once you say that the biggest political decision of recent years was wrong, you have to look at why our public sphere was so bad as to cause such a decision.

We were told ‘schools are safe’. ‘Children don’t transmit’. Children were told to wash their hands for a predominantly airborne virus and they removed mitigations from schools. Yet the evidence in the inquiry shows they knew it was airborne.

Nobody under the age of 40 wants anything else...

It strikes me that this is Occam's razor economics ...

Isnt that blueberries?

Please tell me there is a VIP section at these rallies...

UK inflation peaked at 26.9% in 1975, US inflation peak was lower at around 15%, but the broad point is that there is no good economic solution to massive energy price rises and this has nothing to do with global supply chains

would have appeared ludicrous to *everyone* just over one year ago. And, finally, this is also because it *is* a reactionary argument: an argument to deprive millions of the 'right to have rights', through no fault of their own. Kids don't decide where to be born. Law is not astronomy. /end

I think he is talking about something quite different though?

Oh this looks like a fun read

Or every other typical ebb-and-flow FPÖ-like EU party.
