The British government has carefully refused to publicly reveal whether it supported the US bombing of Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, and even whether it deems the attack to be lawful.
Now numerous diplomatic sources with knowledge of the matter have told Middle East Eye the UK's private stance is that attacks on nuclear facilities are not illegal and should not be banned by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Inside: The case for a Canadian wealth tax; and more!
Archived at: pluralistic.net/2025/06/23/bil…

I always thought that a wealth tax made more sense than income tax. Some people will be needing all their income just to live. Others may be doing really great things with their extra income. Excess wealth just sits there.
But I am wondering, what thresholds and what rates might be appropriate? Are we talking billionaires or mere millionaires. Bearing in mind that the average house is now over 1 million in many places.
Im thinking a total combined net worth of say 10 million?? Make it progressive so that it taxes billionaires more than the Tenmillionaires.

As of 23 June, more than 11,000 foreign nationals have been evacuated from Israel as its war on Iran enters its second week, prompting dozens of governments to launch emergency operations under closed airspace and intensifying missile fire.
Germany, the UK, Australia, France, the US, and several EU states have mobilized military aircraft, chartered civilian transport, and overland convoys to extract their citizens.

For the Palestinians in the besieged coastal enclave of the Gaza Strip, where Israeli bombs fall more frequently than aid, a bitter sentiment echoes in alleyways and overcrowded shelters: the world sees them only when they try to fight back.
Since October 2023 [..] the gap between global outrage and selective silence has noticeably grown, especially after as Israel launched a war on Iran.

in reply to Fosstodon • • •Oh boy, I have a bad feeling about this.
For me the gold standard for interesting reads is still the hackernews comments. Very illuminative how different their guidelines are worded:
news.ycombinator.com/newsguide…
For instance:
- Count of the word 'please': 25
=> fosstodon: zero
- "Please don't use uppercase for emphasis."
=> fosstodon: shouts users DOs and DON'Ts right in the face
Anyhow, I try my best to follow the guidelines, so my main take away is:
"Assume good faith"

I am a bit confused about point 2 from the covenant, though. "Impact before intentions" suggest to moderate posts that have negative impact, even if the poster has (or declares to have) positive intentions, but that seems to conflict with "believing people". Also "when their own actions show us who they are" seems to again encourage judgement based on actions rather than intent.
Maybe the wording of it could be improved?
