These researchers argue that having more humans on this planet will actually make it easier to solve environmental problems, because "every time we've made progress against an environmental challenge before, it's been while the population was growing." Since the world's population has been growing since the mid-14th century, that seems like a remarkably weak argument.
The image depicts a large, futuristic spacecraft with a cylindrical body and a rounded front. The ship is primarily painted in a light blue color with rust and wear visible on its surface, suggesting age or extensive use. It features multiple protruding elements, including antennas, sensors, and what appear to be thrusters or engines, particularly noticeable on the rear and sides. The ship's hull is adorned with various panels and hatches, some marked with red squares, possibly indicating important sections or systems. The background is a plain, light gray, emphasizing the spacecraft's details. The ship is shown in flight, with a faint outline of a cityscape in the lower right corner, suggesting an urban environment. The overall design is complex and industrial, with a blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Weer een nieuwe aanval op democratie en demonstratierecht van ons extreemrechtse kabinet:
"Politie mag meer openbare data verzamelen om ordeverstoringen tegen te gaan"
Denk aan: politie die je sociale mediadata geautomatiseerd opzuigt en verwerkt.
Belangrijk nieuws via @Tweakers wat ze helaas niet zelf op hun socials delen:

Het wetsvoorstel blinkt uit in vaagtaal.
Zo mag de politie binnen deze nieuwe bevoegdheid géén onderzoek naar personen of organisaties doen,
maar wel persoonsgegevens geautomatiseerd overnemen...
(en dan doe je dus onderzoek naar personen of organisaties)
Het bevel wordt gegeven voor ten hoogste 4 weken, maar dit mag eeuwig verlengd worden, dus het is gewoon voor altijd.

ALT HEADLINE: "Death toll from DOGE cuts to the National Weather Service reaches 43"
I've got lots of feelings about the cuts to essential services.
This is not the fault of those cuts. Blame the architects of chaos for things for which they are blameworthy. Shout and scream it.
This is not one of them.

NWS did their job. Those that are still there are keeping the torches lit.
