Poland‘s rightwing president Nawrocki opposes the EU‘s SAFE program for European rearmament (although 🇵🇱 could receive more than 40 billion € from it).
My take: He helps the US undermine European efforts at (more) independence from US weapons supplies.

“slow incremental progress that can be ripped away by the change of administration”

Like Rupert Murdoch or what are we talking here?
The spread of fake imagery of the Iran war is helping make the question “Is this real?” all but unanswerable, Mahsa Alimardani argues:
I wonder if there was any way for them to foresee it would happen?
It may cost YOU more money, but oil companies get rich so “overall” it’s good news. The Trump regime, folks! 🙃
Still my favorite quote for so much of what’s happening in the world rn
“Epidemics on the other side of the world are a threat to us all. No epidemic is just local.”
What to know about Reform Judaism after an attack on one of its largest US synagogues.

Honestly though, for all the “intelligence” in technology, why is spelling still being sabotaged?
Tried to put salaried just now
Joe for now 😑
There was an alleged video that went around of a guy calling out a food stamp recipient for trying to buy lobster tails. The guy apparently berated the person. I know this because someone who willfully got swept into that algorithm told me. That was around 2018 and still bothers me.

We’re in our Sauropod era
Remember when you could watch your local sports teams for free on your tv?
My favorite quote comes in handy again - “Epidemics on the other side of the world are a threat to us all. No epidemic is just local.”

Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."
it took just over a year to get from "I'll lower costs on day one" to "I'm raising prices and it's good, actually"
They either didn't know Iran would shut down the Strait of Hormuz or they knew and didn't have a plan.
Either way - just totally clear they don't give a damn about what this war means for hardworking Americans.
Fears of rising costs have spiked in recent weeks amid a broadening Middle East conflict.
Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."
