Bravo! Eurovision winner in 2024, Nemo, the Swiss entry, handed back their trophy today because of Israel’s continued participation in the contest. The EBU is burning the Eurovision to the ground, all to maintain the presence of a state committing genocide against Palestinians #BoycottEurovision

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

People don't understand what is meant by "literacy" and the "literacy crisis".
Literacy isn't just not being able to physically read. Many people know how to see words and say words, which is basic reading. Literacy is being able to infer the correct information from what you read.

We aren't going to be "Back in 2028". Even if we somehow sweep out all the MAGAs in government, the rest of the world has in the meanwhile learned that they cant rely on the American electorate not to be batshit insane.
They won't trust us as a nation again for a long, long time.

Ignore the economists. When a country "gets richer" it just means "the already-rich are getting even richer". It does not mean the average citizen. Economists and politicians are easily fooled by this simple distinction.
We are told Ireland is getting wealthier – why are households not feeling it?

The key is in how wealth is defined: if you strip out property, pensions and some business assets, wealth per head falls dramatically
