It’s beyond insane that the BBC World Service might end in 7 weeks when its funding runs out. A beacon of information, education and UK soft power - Ministers would be crazy not to find money to support it www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Guardian view on the BBC World Service: this is London calling | Editorial

Editorial: With just seven weeks before its funding runs out, the UK’s greatest cultural asset and most trusted international news organisation must be supported

"Pierre Bourdieu, a French sociologist, observed that elites in a society typically maintain their power not simply by controlling the means of production.....but by dominating the cultural discourse too....And what is most important - but what is left unstated, or ignored."

People who can trust, because they're paying millions of dollars for the privilege, that everything they're presented with in their lives will be exactly what they wanted. To them, AI makes perfect sense. They don't know how to make day-to-day decisions.

'It is the formal position of the US government that Greenland should be part of the US' A clear, undisguised territorial claim against a NATO ally, and should be treated as such.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7mo ago

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force? MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO T: So force is on the table? M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

[COMMENTARY] A recent proposal by the Swedish government encourages fertilization with nitrogen to speed up tree growth, which may work in the short term but eventually fails and is leached into waterways, altering ecosystems. ** The views expressed are the author's.

Why Sweden’s forest policy matters to the world (commentary)

The deep, dark forests of northern Europe supplied people with wood, timber and food for millennia. They gave rise to myths, legends and fairy tales, and offered refuge to the persecuted. Over time,…

This is criminal, or should be. It’s definitely immoral. Burning old growth trees for energy should be banned. Biomass is not carbon neutral and it makes nasty air pollution.

Claims of felling 250 year-old trees + shipping them thousands of miles to burn in a power station, releasing fine particulate pollution linked to breathing + heart conditions. Perhaps, instead of subsidising this, our tax money could go to treating people with those conditions? 🧵 1/2

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

it's dizzying to me that stories like this -- a corrupt grift built on democracy-wrecking lies that culminated in a coup attempt -- barely breakthrough anymore. they're just daily background noise now.

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want? TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

Trotz Überprüfung: Meta hält Faktenchecks für Spam! Trotz eingeleiteter Überprüfung und (direktem!) Kontakt mit dem Support, ist Meta weiterhin der Ansicht, dass Faktenchecks Spam sind und droht bei wiederholten Veröffentlichungen sogar mit Einschränkungen für Admins.

Aber was soll man auch von einer beobachtenden Klasse (und es geht nicht speziell um die Zeit) erwarten, für die immer alles nur „Kommunikation“ ist, immer nur Ansprache, immer nur Haltung, die keine Strukturen kennt, keine Institutionen, keine Temperaturen und Keime, nicht mal Kriege so wirklich.

Wir drehen uns seit gottverdammten neun vollen Jahren im Kreis.

Bisher wurde er nicht gebraucht. Jetzt soll er in den KTF verschoben werden. Und künftig dürfte hier Geld fließen müssen, das stellen Verkehrs- und Baumministerium auf SZ-Anfrage in Aussicht. Sprich: Geld, das für Klimaschutz gedacht ist, fließt dann in Strafen für zu wenig Klimaschutz.
