Loading the dice. The weather conditions driving the devastating fires in Spain were ~20× more likely because of human-caused climate change, and ~2× more likely in France. Of course, the spark matters...but the conditions decide the scale. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

The complete debasement of the US State Department in one simple chart. The Trump/Rubio State Department presented a graphic to an international conference that mislabeled EVERY African country. It appears that no one is left who can properly name a single African country.

In case you're counting, the planet is now on day 6 reaching a global surface temperature above 17.0°C. The only other years reaching 17.0°C since records began in 1940, and likely in the last 120,000 years, were 2023 and 2024. Next year will be much hotter.

Everybody started calling him a Nazi after he gave multiple Nazi Salutes on National TV. But conveniently he has forgotten that.
if you insult and belittle your allies for years while threatening to annex their territory, they will indeed tell you to go fuck yourselves when the big red phone rings. I understand that this may come as a shock to total fucking idiots.
Nor does he factor in that people care less about local elections (wrongly). Turnout matters, and Burnham motivated a large turnout. And he ignores how much people dislike the ide of "Prime Minister Farage", which also tends to motivate. He's about as analytical as mushy peas.
These cretins appear to think that Britain and Ireland have one government. And that Irish people are quite happy with this island being described as part of the “British Isles” - a term HMG avoids, btw. Yeah, this will end well.
This was not only a huge foreign policy Blunder, it was a Surrender after Losing the War, which the Self Serving Idiot should never have started!
Nigel Farage. A proper football fan who hasn't moved an inch in almost two years.

Are there riots in Liverpool yet? “This is Callum Peacock. He battered his girlfriend with a golf club, threw bleach and paint at her, and burned a memorial shirt of her deceased grandmother but has avoided an immediate prison sentence.”
He burned photo of girlfriend's nan and said she'd 'rot in hell'

No, I don't agree with government. Taking scarce water supplies for data centres is not the same as for homes, or food-growing, or looking after nature
This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com
