The headline, the main takeaway from a European viewpoint is this:

The transatlantic relationship as we know it is over. Yes, we kinda knew this. But this is now official US White House policy. Not a sppech, not a statement. The West as it used to be no longer exists.

Happening now: Autonomous coalition of anti-genocide activists picket outside G&B Packing, a New Jersey warehouse that ships over a thousand tons of military cargo to Israel every week.

Activists are demanding Jersey City evict G&B for facilitating use of weapons for genocide.

As solar booms and coal fades, Greece’s mining region struggles to… Next year, Greece will complete its coal phaseout, a success for the energy transition. But Western Macedonia residents feel left behind.

In September, I went to Greece to report on its rapid move away from coal.

Despite getting ~50% of power from coal a decade ago, it'll be coal free next year. Solar is booming.

It's a stunning shift — but not without challenges for Greece's coal region.

One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

Every kid thinks they want an atomic bomb, but the parents always end up having to take care of them, maintain the implosion core so it doesn't degrade, etc.

Fuck it man.
I quit.
No matter how much I write or how hard I work I’ll never make 1/8th of the money they paid this amoral hack to churn out this shit.

Thou Shalt Not Murder Fishermen While Pardoning Drug Lords This is evil.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Compliance with international law—including the laws of war—is built, in many respects, on reciprocity. If the United States abandons these rules, it cannot expect its adversaries to follow them when Americans are the ones captured, isolated, shipwrecked, or shot down. And it’s not just reciprocity. Weakening the legitimacy of such fundamental rules also corrodes the underlying foundation of a system that serves U.S. servicemembers time and again. As the world’s most widely deployed maritime power, the United States relies on these protections more than any other nation. And what’s more, illegal orders create moral, reputational, and strategic harm long after the violations of law have ceased.

What Hegseth and Trump are disassembling with their obsession with "lethality" is an entire system that mitigates some of the evils of war.

OU placed a graduate student instructor on leave after a student publicly contested a grade and filed an illegal discrimination claim after she received a failing grade on an essay that cited the Bible. According to a statement released Sunday, the university wrote it is taking these concerns seriously and has begun a full review of the situation. “The University of Oklahoma takes seriously concerns involving First Amendment rights, certainly including religious freedoms. Upon receiving notice from the student on the grading of an assignment, the University immediately began a full review of the situation and has acted swiftly to address the matter,” the statement read.

Oklahoma University has placed a grad student instructor on admin leave for failing a psychology paper on gender for citing *the Bible* as a source of empirical evidence.

In response, OU has placed on instructor on admin leave citing, get this, the FIRST AMENDMENT.

Universities are cooked.

That's right, folks, the Ontario government's Black Friday sale is back! And for this Black Friday, for a small donation to my reelection campaign, you'll receive a $10M Skills Development Fund grant! But hurry, because the OPP are having a look-see now, so this is a time-limited offer!

Screenshot End Stage Capitalism The year is 3129. Humanity is extinct. The last LG SmartFridge is desperately emailing its last owner that they are low on orange juice. The satellites still left, their orbits decaying, dutifully relay the message. The automated "away from office" response turns on, as it always does, notifying the refrigerator that its owner will likely return to the office in 3-5 business days. A pack of roombas, the local wind turbines giving out, search for the next functional docking station. A washing machine tweets: "anyone need to do a load?" every Saturday at 1:30 a.m. eastern standard time. The replies are filled with Al thirstposters and their hypebots. In North America, raccoons have entered the bronze age, while babboons riding domesticated battlewolves rule most of Asia. Unbeknownst to either, the octopi are mastering nuclear fusion.

The ending is maybe not so bad.

Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

I think we need to stop referring to Gaza and Lebanon as actual ceasefires. A ceasefire means, well, a ceasing of fire. What we have in these two cases is Israel striking less than it used to, but still holding the power to act whenever it wants.
