Cartoon waarop een dorpje achter de dijk te zien is. Op zee staat een rij gigantische dominostenen die zich uitstrekt tot de horizon. In de verte zien we vallende stenen die snel dichterbij komen. Op de voorste steen, het dichtste bij de dijk, staat 'klimaatcrisis'. In de straat in het dorp protesteert een groep exteemrechtse demonstranten tegen immigranten. Slechts twee schapen en een jongetje op de dijk kijken naar de vallende dominostenen.

Prioriteiten. Cartoon voor @trouw.nl.

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

HUR chief Budanov stated that 99% of Ukraine’s recent strikes on targets inside Russia, like oil refineries, are carried out using domestically produced systems. Ukraine now has the capacity to act independently and effectively, he said, adding that even Russia acknowledges the results.

I’m sorry that asylum seekers are the biggest problem in your life. My biggest problem is that like 12 white men want all the money in the world and will destroy everything and everyone to get it.

Yes, I love it!

Direction wrong the in going are we...
"[2024] CO2 increased by 3.5ppm, the largest increase since measurements began in 1957. This increase was driven by fossil CO2 emissions, enhanced fire emissions & reduced terrestrial/ocean sinks, which could signal a climate feedback."

A country where that sounds controversial would be in big trouble.

Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.

Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.

So much for America First.

Ik zie de Kamagurka tekening al voor me :)

Globally, the market for affordable EVs is probably 100 times bigger than that for F150 'trucks' and at least 1,000 times bigger than that for Cybertrucks.

Zo begrijp ik het ook, op hoofdlijnen.

As climate change causes stronger storms and melts the permafrost, the Trump regime took away the funding to protect this low-income Alaska Native community against the effects.

Perception is one thing, but the ones that actually behaved as MAGA generals, bombing Venezuelan civilians and using their armed forces to intimidate Democratic cities, will of course have to be replaced.
