I don't get to write about a lot of good news, but this is a really big deal — the global fur industry has collapsed over the last decade. My rundown on the numbers and how it unfolded: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

The biggest animal welfare victory of the 21st century, explained in one chart Global fur production has collapsed. Here’s how it happened.

Nice article :) Good to see the progress made on fur. Though I am not sure if its the biggest animal welfare victory of 21st century. Hasn't the Open Wing Alliance impacted more chicken lives?

😮 Ukraine spy agency official - “We welcomed volunteers in good faith. But we must now recognize that Ukraine has become a platform for the global dissemination of FPV tactics. Some come here to learn how to kill with a $400 drone, then sell this knowledge elsewhere to the highest bidder.”

Poverty rate 1990 to 2023. Increased.

Good guess. They too have very high poverty rates since 2008. Image generated by Chatgpt.

Specifically for these countries, do u believe that it would be more cost effective to support economic growth rather than health interventions? This would fall within a view point that believes Malthuisan economics operates in these countries.

Tech to End Chick Culling Has Now Been Implemented, but Challenges Remain In-ovo sexing has the potential to spare at least 300 million male chicks each year in the United States from slaughter.

Egg producer Kipster has now implemented in-ovo sexing, a technology that enables it to stop culling male chicks. If the entire egg industry were to adopt this practice in the U.S, it would spare around 300 million male chicks each year from grisly slaughter. sentientmedia.org/tech-to-end-...

@sergesaxonov, not on Bluesky, on the decision by Arc to use @10xgenomics.bsky.social GEM-X.

Well his statement on his own predictions shows that he doesn't calibrate on actual performance. Instead he said the thing that he intuitively thinks is right about himself. Classic fallacy. My prediction: if u posted this on X, u probably got 100s of hateful comments.

StatQuest: Histograms, Clearly Explained YouTube video by StatQuest with Josh Starmer

Personal opinion: I don't agree with the conclusion from the data analysis above. I think the definition of middle class is too broad. So the averages in a big group hide some trends.

So this view says: the middle class isn’t stuck — it’s growing and rising. The “flat income” story? A data illusion caused by millions moving up the ladder. #IndianEconomy #GrowthStory

Also: the number of people earning over ₹1 crore has tripled in 10 years. Most of them likely rose up from the middle class — showing real upward mobility.

If you just tracked the original 55 lakh people from 2013, their income likely grew by double digits over the decade. But lumping in millions of newer, lower earners pulls down the average.

Most of these new tax filers came up from lower income levels. That means you're mixing newer, lower earners into the average — which makes the income growth look flat, even if older middle-class folks are doing better.

First off — the so-called “middle class” is defined as those earning ₹5L to ₹1Cr. That’s a huge range. But more importantly, this group has exploded in size — from 55 lakh in 2013 to nearly 4 crore in 2023!

Is India’s middle class really earning less, or are we just reading the data wrong? A different take says the “income stagnation” story misses the big picture. Let’s break it down. #India #MiddleClass

Result: Shrinking savings, stagnant income, and slipping influence. More people may join the middle class, but it’s not what it used to be. #IndianEconomy
