In so einem unsolidarischen Gesundheitssystem, in dem Menschen am Existenzminimum keine adäquate Versorgung mehr bekämen, würde ich den Arztkittel an den Nagel hängen. Denn dann wären wir es, die benötigte Behandlungen vorenthalten, dafür bin ich nicht Arzt geworden.
ist es unsere Aufgabe sowas zu unterbinden. Was soll denn das? Was macht die Union da? Sind die endgültig von allen guten Geistern verlassen worden? Gibt es keine anständigen Unionler*innen mehr, die sich da wehren? Die zerstören unser lebenswertes Deutschland zu Gunsten Superreicher…wehrt euch!
Something lacking from this coverage is that "usage" probably isn't even - there are probably a very small fraction of users consuming the vast majority of energy, mostly through agents, coding and video production
This isn't "rapid adoption", it's rapid digital bloating and inefficiency.
Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) * ... @magyarpeterMP Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then - on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.
Hungary’s Péter Magyar issues an ultimatum.
Responses demonstrate the problem of our times -- principles and integrity are meaningless once one buys into the industry narrative
thinking once more of @starinthetitle.bsky.social's idea for us to start a podcast together called "Does the Mom Die In This One?" about media depictions of moms specifically and women over 40 more generally and the plot agency they are or are not allowed
Wie durchsetzbar ist das innerhalb der SPD? Wird da wirklich dann doch noch für Energiewende gekämpft, die absolut notwendig ist, oder wird die Fossilpolitik mit etwas Kritik durchgewunken? Eine Entscheidung nicht nur für heute sondern für die gesamte Zukunft. überzeugt mich.
Everyone needs to read and fully understand the implications of this thread.
The slowing, even stopping, of the AMOC is not a vague idea.
It's now a strong probability.
Ie, it's almost certainly happening.
However, at least as reported, the discussions to date are being driven by thinking in Germany and France in particular, and it is difficult to see how such a development could be separated from EU initiatives to boost the capacity of its defence industries. More generally, it is hard to doubt that the centre of gravity of influence and decision-making of a ‘European NATO’ would be the EU simply because the bulk of the countries involved would be members of both. Almost inevitably that would fall foul of the kind of sentiments expressed in the Mail editorial and, indeed, the idea is already being reported in The Sun as “Europe’s secret plan” – not, admittedly outright Brussels-bashing, but certainly there is no suggestion in the report that this plan is something the UK is, could, or should be involved in. At all events, the prospect of a British government making a whole-hearted commitment to this, or any other version of a regional security alliance, seems remote for so long as the
Why is Brexitism still such a potent idea, despite the increasingly obvious weaknesses - and hostility to Britain - of global far-right populist?
Chris Grey gives the answer.
Can the UK get past this delusion?

GenAI is plunder, pass it on (a comic)
British exceptionalism that somehow our history is less European and more global than any other country, which it isn't. Or that denies we spent the less thousand years at least totally inter-connected with mainland Europe, or did I invent 1688?
Key problem is that even pro-EU campaigns & political parties focus on specific limited areas the EU-UK relationship, particular asks for one sector or another.
Where is the overarching narrative, where is the vision for the future of Europe and the UK's place in it?
We need that for progress.
Bang on.
And it is our exceptionalism that is keeping us stuck, gradually getting poorer than we need to be.
I rejoice in so many of our cultural differences and our strengths.
But I also rejoice in the benefits of cooperation even when it is hard, which is sometimes will be.
To enter with heart and mind into the world of the imagination may be to head deliberately and directly toward, or back toward, engagement with the real world.
Brexit was not an event, it is a process. An ongoing, cumulative, toxic process. A cancer gnawing at the fabric of society.
”Peak Brexit” will be during 2040s-50s. By then London will be pounding on Brussels’s door begging to be let in.
I absolutely cannot speak for or about heavy users of AI but those that I know who were acquaintances were very prone to appreciate sophistry and flattery and very anti expert and have been so from before AI. This is a problem caused inter alia by underfunded education and mental health services.

joining the Euro would be a huge economic boost for the UK

Schönen Gruß vom Wirtschaftsministerium!
Wir sind viele.
Wir sind sehr, sehr viele!
Alle reden nur darüber, wie unbeliebt Merz bei der Bevölkerung ist, aber mal wieder keiner, ob Merz mit uns zufrieden ist. Wenn wir mehr arbeiten würden und nicht so viel krank machen, wäre das alles vielleicht anders!
If the UK wants to join it should be on equal terms with the EU members it wants to join not in the hope of somehow rigging the system to take advantage over other members. If that is the intention then the wish to join is not real and hopefully the EU will realize that.
“Embracing the future/change” is an absolutely villainous concept. It assumes the existence of a future that must either be accepted or rejected, but fails to recognize that we are actively & constantly shaping it. “It” has no separate existence. And is all change good? No one believes that."
While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.
Yes, $30 million per HOUR.
All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

New EU Commission study into the possibilities of taxes on extreme wealth
There is no lack of money to finance Europe’s green transition, and break our dependence on fossil fuel imports – the EU just needs the political will to make the super rich pay their fair share
#TaxTheSuperRich
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra is being refreshingly blunt: there is “no workaround” for Europe’s energy price crisis.
Hoekstra’s message? The only way out is through: more electrification, more solar, more wind, more storage, more grid interconnection — and all of it faster.
