Gouvernement Lecornu : l’ultime affront Sourd à la censure de son gouvernement précédent, Emmanuel Macron a renommé une équipe quasi-identique et rappelé Bruno Le Maire. Au-delà même d’une censure qui semble inéluctable, la crise politique…

C'est effectivement un terrible affront. Mais aussi probablement un aveu d'échec.

Thames Water creditors ask for up to 15 years’ leniency from river pollution rules Lenders say a ‘full return to legal, regulatory and environmental compliance’ under new rescue plan would not be completed until at least 2035-2040

"Thames Water creditors ask for up to 15 years’ leniency from river pollution rules" 😲

Can you actually believe this?

As Humberto rages, another fast-evolving system bears a close watch » Yale Climate Connections Invest 94L will likely become a tropical storm over the Bahamas this weekend, and it might reach Georgia or the Carolinas as a hurricane by early next week. Though the uncertainty is high, it's a good...

Wild to see #94L and #Humberto juxtaposed like this: much more Pacific-ish than Atlantic-ish.

Big forecast headaches loom, possibly for days to come, with #94L sandwiched between #Humberto + a cutoff low in the SE US. Unusual setups are tough for models.

A bright green poster with bold white and pink text at the top: “TRAINS ARE TOO OFTEN MORE EXPENSIVE THAN FLIGHTS.” Below it reads: “Sustainable travel shouldn’t be a luxury.” A color-coded map of Europe shows the proportion of cross-border train routes that are more expensive than flights for the same journey. Colors: green (0–20%), yellow (20–40%), orange (40–60%), red (60–80%), purple (80–100%). For example, Spain, Portugal, and the UK are shaded purple (80–100%), while countries like Poland and Czechia are shaded green (0–20%). At the bottom, source text reads: “Greenpeace, Ticket Prices Of Planes Vs Trains, 2025. Only countries for which at least 4 cross-border routes met the methodological criteria are included in the Scorecard.”

😢 How are flights so much cheaper than trains?
Indeed, why are we forced to pick between cheap & polluting and expensive & sustainable?

Well @greenpeace.eu has the answer: subsidies and MASSIVE tax breaks.

What Israel is doing in Gaza is properly abominable.

Retailleau montre une fois de plus qu'il représente l'extrême droite propagandiste, liberticide, autoritaire, violente. Nos libertés et notre démocratie sont menacées. Emmanuel Macron en porte une grave responsabilité. Effrayant.

Macron va se nommer lui-même la prochaine fois, ce sera plus facile. Constitution article 8: "Le Président de la République nomme le Premier ministre". Nulle part ça ne dit que ça ne peut pas être la même personne 😂

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

The big difference is that Putin considers people living in Crimea/Donbass as Russian. Russsia forces them to get and use Russian passports.
The situation in Gaza is obviously different!

Revealed: Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war Figures from classified IDF database listed 8,900 named fighters as dead or probably dead in May, as overall death toll reached 53,000

By continuing to provide weapons to Israel — and bolstering the profits of America's military contractors — the U.S. is complicit in the genocide unfolding in Gaza.

There is no moral justification in wreaking vengeance on innocent women, men, and children. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

As a French and British citizen, I am ashamed of both the French and British governments for the way they have responded the horrors in Gaza. Sanctions against Israel should have been imposed many months ago. And yet, nothing. Just blah-blah.
