This is how Spanish TV announced the boycott of Eurovision
If Russia is banned for what they're doing to Ukraine, surely Israel should be banned for what they're doing in Palestine?
When is the UK going to boycott Eurovision?

One of my favorite assignments to give in my climate change class is a big student-led exploration of data from the EPA climate indicators site. The data sets they picked were so accessible and clear. Now this wonderful teaching tool is gone.
Additionally, it appears that all of EPA's previously extensive "indicators of climate change" pages have been scrubbed entirely. The pages no longer exist; there are numerous dead links on the current/live EPA site, and no indication they have been moved to a new URL.

Lol…a reminder of the problems with some CAMRA members…
I'm at the local CAMRA branch AGM.
Really fancied a lager, now getting weird looks from the other members 🤣

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Norway's US embassy had a Christmas tree lighting ceremony sponsored by Equinor, including a massive Equinor logo right next to the tree. Somehow still not as disgusting as the grilled cheese recipe.
Norway absolutely has its own culture: it's ingrained petroganda :)

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times.
So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

What could possibly go wrong... Most of these kids probably understand the technology better than their parents and how to use it. Especially at a time where these kids feel entitled to it and it's tied to their identity building.
