Finding the German media coverage of Temu rather revolting, especially in comparison with Amazon. So much implicit (or explicit) racism and classism. If everything from China is trash, then why are so many German firms producing high end goods there, also for the middle/upper classes?

Why nuclear war, not the climate crisis, is humanity’s biggest threat, according to one author
Mark Lynas has spent decades pushing for action on climate emissions but now says nuclear war is even greater threat
A needless and stupid comparison
This is NOT a competition
Both climate breakdown - which is here now - and potential nuclear war will/would have catastrophic consequences
We need to work flat out to stop both

Where did the term originate?

End unnecessary redundancies at Newcastle University
#NewcastleUniversity staff are being made redundant despite the university's 'relatively strong cash and borrowing position'. The 'impact mitigation' with insulting 'wellbeing sessions' strongly resonate with the situation at Leicester. Solidarity!

It is conception, unscientific basis and recourse to racial comparisons, it also echoes the Nazi racial laws in my opinion.

Giving comments on the EHRC Code of Practice Consultation with regard to the proposed gender and sexuality definitions is like giving feedback on a very bad paper that did not use any literature for their argument. Who sits in these places? Also total no-nos in the examples that biologise race. Wow.

Rescuing the Enlightenment from the Europeans
This is finally coming out in English. The German version is excellent, adding much needed complexity in a climate of two-dimensional Enlightenment celebrations/dismissals so you may want to bookmark this!

Jerusalem Declaration on AntisemitismThe Jerusalem Declaration On Antisemitism

Labour is handing this country on a silver platter to Reform. People do not vote Labour because they hate immigrants and want Reform-lite. They vote Labour because they want it to make a positive difference to their lives.

Treasury threatens Defra with £4bn bill if Thames Water nationalised
Exclusive: Treasury threat an example of ‘scare tactics’ to help force through private sector deal, sources suggest
Just flat out lying from Treasury. Water utilities are highly profitable once you strip out debt repayments. And the statutory mechanism for rescuing broken water companies enables DEFRA to strip out debt repayments. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/business/202...
