Minna is spot on, as always.

You can’t just open the money spigot and expect capabilities to appear. What is much more likely to happen is that 1) manufacturers use the opportunity to mark up the prices, and 2) there will be a lot of investments that turn out not to be useful and are scrapped.

Floods are Becoming More Common. Here’s What I Tell my Kids Laura Schifter writes about how climate change is changing childhood and parenthood.

"The harsh reality of parenting today is this: our children are living in a changing climate. We all have a role to play in securing our shared future: and as a parent, it means committing to advocating for policies that keep you safe, protect your future, and empower you to make a difference."

Šis. Mans pagalms Vidzemes DA daļā nekad nav bijis tāds žļempucis kā tagad. Grants seguma ceļi arī ļoti sabojāti no biežajām un stiprajam lietusgāzēm, pļavas daudzviet nepļautas vai, ja pļautas, pēc traktoriem palikušas risas. Temperatūras ziņā ir OK un, ja dzivotu uz asfalta, citas lietas nemanītu.

@SenWarren on X: CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Democrats remain on X because they think they have greater reach. The numbers are all fake, though. Take a look at these identical posts from Elizabeth Warren.

Have just realized that the silly “Bezos wants to buy Vogue as a lavish wedding gift for his bride” story that’s been circulating is inaccurate - Bezos wants to buy Condé Nast which owns The New Yorker,Teen Vogue, Wired & Arts Technica because he is an oligarch who wants to crush all dissent.

Kas tāds vai kas līdzīgs ir bijis arī kaut kad 70. Bus jāpārprasa mammai, jo viņa ir stāstījusi par šādiem saviem piedzīvotajiem skolēnu dziesmu svētkiem.

Trauksmes vai neslavas celšana Koknesē? Pamatskolas vadības lielo algu kritizētāji saņem pavēstes no policijas Kokneses pamatskolas–attīstības centra vadības atalgojums, kas pērn nonāca plašākā uzmanības lokā, vēl pieaudzis, pārsniedzot 50 000 eiro gadā. Aizkraukles novada pašvaldībā norāda, ka izmaiņas d...

Cilvēki pamatoti cepas par Ogres "porcelāna fīreru" (paldies, @kollis.id.lv), bet šis jau nav daudz labāk. Trauksmes celšana nav neslavas celšana! www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas...

Porcelāna fīrers galīgi mēra sajūtu pazaudējis.

It's a tragedy that the coalition of tyrannies — China, North Korea, Iran — is far more committed to helping russia destroy Ukraine than the coalition of democracies is to supporting Ukraine's survival. As if their own security didn't depend directly on it. History teaches people nothing.

"Visos šajos gadījumos Rietumu sabiedrotie iebilda, izteica bažas, meklēja kompromisus. Otrais pasaules karš varēja beigties, vēl nesācies, un katra piekāpšanās deva Vācijai vēl vienu gadu, ko gatavoties jaunam pasaules karam." satori.lv/article/pari...

"Pēc kara vācu ģenerāļi par šo posmu, ko vēsturē atcerēsies kā "Savādo karu", teiks, ka "sabiedrotie palaida garām iespēju izšķiroši mainīt kara gaitu"." satori.lv/article/pari...

Copenhagen is adapting to a warmer world with rain tunnels and 'sponge parks' Copenhagen is expected to receive 30% more rainfall by the end of the century. The city is responding with a massive long-term adaptation plan.

Ungārs stāsta, ka pret Ukrainas naratīvi vairs pat netiekot pieslēpti. Atsevišķs stāsts ir kampaņas pret NVO, ko veic valdības, radikāli labējie un biznesa lobiji nu jau tik daudz valstīs arī ES. Drusku tāda apokalipses sajūta. Pie mums vēl ir tik labi.

Viss skaidrs, jautājumu vairs nav. :D

Es nesaprotu, kāpēc daļa cilvēku saka, ka pašvaldību vēlēšanu biļeteni esot bijuši 2x jāpārloka, lai ietilptu aploksnē. Manējais iegāja kā ierasts – vienreiz pārlocīts. Vai tas nozīmē, ka dažās pašvaldībās bija lielāka izmēra vēlēšanu biļeteni nekā citur?

Jā, par konsultācijām maksā, bet tikai noteiktā apjomā. Labošanas laiku apmaksā, reizinot koeficientus kontaktstundām, turklāt balansējot gatavošanās laiku. Jo vairak labojamo darbu – jo vairāk sanāk strādāt "par brīvu", it sevišķi, ja dod nevis tesrus, bet izpratnes/ pamatojumu uzdevumus

Tā ir. Es vienīgi neesmu dzirdējusi labas (reālas, apmaksātas, haosu mazinošas) alternatīvas, kas ļautu saglabāt iespēju pārrakstīt noteiktus pārbaudes darbus.

I was U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. I resigned because of Trump's foreign policy. | Opinion I served in our country's foreign service for three decades. The Trump administration's Ukraine policy will make the U.S. less safe.

Bijuši ASV vēstniece Ukrainā skaidro, kādēļ pametusi amatu. “Peace at any price is not peace at all ― it is appeasement. And history has taught us time and again that appeasement does not lead to safety, security or prosperity. It leads to more war and suffering.” eu.freep.com/story/opinio...

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Augot mežizstrādes apjomam, mūsu koksnes krājas bilance iebraukusi mīnusos (avots: LVMI "Silava": silava.lv/images/Petij...). Tātad Latvijas mežsaimniecību nevar uzskatīt par ilgtspējīgu pat tikai no koksnes ieguves viedokļa (nerunājot par bioloģisko daudzveidību un citiem ilgtspējas aspektiem).

Kāpēc sabiedrībā kā tādā ir mazticība valdības iniciatīvām, tādām kā birkorātijas mazināšana, adminslogs , funkcijas? Pat tādas kā "vakanču banka" www.mk.gov.lv/lv/vakancu-b... , kur šo "nebijušo risinājumu" solijās atjaunot ik mēnesi, bet kopš janvāra nav nekā jauna. Tāpēc ka sāk, bet neturpina.

1. Do not obey in advance (Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny)

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

Deep-sea scars from decades-old extraction reveal a simple truth: profit-driven choices can outlast the industries that made them. #Extractivism takes, markets move on, but the damage remains.

SCOOP: ICE Revoking Students’ Immigration Statuses Without Their or the University’s Knowledge “Never seen something like this,” say university officials about the secret targeting of Middle Eastern students.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.

It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

This is surreal.

American govt officials have been knocking on peoples doors in Nuuk, Greenland during recent days to see if locals would like to be visited by the vice president's wife.

Everywhere the answer was the same: "No, thank you"
