Les pluies historiques au #Niger causent l'effondrement de la plus ancienne mosquée de Zinder.
Du fait du réchauffement climatique, certaines zones du Sahara ont reçu l'équivalent de plusieurs années de pluie en quelques heures.
Essi trovarono una #sintesi geniale tra il suono strumentale delle big band e l'euro-techno-pop algido di metà anni settanta e dei primi anni ottanta. Per questo non può esistere purezza techno, sarebbe un controsenso. L'identitarismo è una brutta bestia.

"For the past week [Trump] has been telling a story about a residential building in Colorado taken over by a gang from Venezuela. But it appears the story is entirely made up. Similarly, Trump on Friday said at a right-wing Moms for Liberty event that public schools in America kidnap children and operate on them to change their sex."

"This is bonkers, but it is bonkers in a way that deliberately demonizes Trump’s opponents. ….
That bleak version of the United States, it turns out, echoes the talking points Russian handlers gave to their operatives working in the U.S. in an effort 'to steer the U.S. public opinion in the right direction.'”

Richardson then discusses the sanctions and criminal charges announced yesterday the DOJ, State Department, and Treasury against employees of Russian-owned and -controlled RT who have been funding a company in the US that is clearly Tenet Media in Tennessee to influence the outcome of the 2024 election.
"The Russians directed their U.S. employees to emphasize the following 'campaign topics':

“'Encroaching universal poverty. Record inflation. Halting of economic growth. Unaffordable prices for food and essential goods'; 'Risk of job loss for white Americans'; 'Privileges for people of color, perverts, and disabled'; 'Constant lies of the [Democratic] administration about the real situation in the country';"

"'Threat of crime coming from people of color and immigrants'; 'Overspending on foreign policy and at the interests of white US citizens'; 'Constant lies to the voters by [Democrats] in power.'”

"The DOJ alleges that the American influencers were paid starting in November 2023 and have posted 2000 videos with over '16 million views'. What was most amazing is the amounts of money Russia put into this project. Traditionally the old KGB and FSB were incredibly stingy organizations but the $10 million they invested was distributed to just five people. You will choke at the amounts."

"The DoJ alleges that the commentators were likely duped by the two Russian assets, but the material, orders and money should have made anyone suspicious. ...
Despite being duped, the denials ring flat when the amounts of money and the literal parroting of Moscow’s daily tasking is considered. No amount of coincidence in the world could account for that."

"Russia bought the right. The cost was around $10 million so far, but this might just be the first of many bombshells. …
The payments from Russia were in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to some of the top commentators on YouTube and Twitter—all at the expense of our democracy."

"The Russians are accused of laundering $9.7 million to Tenet, which was 90 percent of all the money the company received during the time in question. (That’s right, 90 PERCENT of the money for this hot new upstart right-wing media company came from Russian shell companies. Oh, did you think they were funded by the grassroots?)"

Yesterday, one day short of 60 days before the November election, the US government did four things:
"• Indicted two RT officials, Konstantin Kalashnikov and Elena Mikhaylovna Afanasyeva, and in the process exposed some right wing influencers to be useful idiots paid indirectly by RT.
• Unsealed the domain takedown affidavit for a bunch of sites used in a Russian fake news program, Doppelgänger."

"• Imposed Treasury sanctions on RT and Doppelgänger, among other entities.
• Indicted Dmitri Simes and his spouse, Anastasia, on sanctions tied to Aleksander Udodov."

My tiny country Bulgaria was subjected to over 300 million of US propaganda and espionage money just last year. (Only the VoA website team got 143 millions). US embassy in Sofia is of a size of entire quarter, and no government could do its job without the approval of US.
How this compares to the 10 millions that Russia spent in US?

Armenia and Georgia are subjected to even worse cases of US influence than Bulgaria.
That's exactly the problem with the neolibs!
You think, that you are riding on a white horse of moral values and everyone else is in a jungle of misery. Count the body bags your morals created and compare them with the jungle!
BTW, if you bothered to exam my CV (you did not) you might learn, that I did escape the communism and for many years was prominent member of different EU green parties. I just dislike the western arrogance.
Throughout history, menopause has been almost completely invisible. In the 19th century, we saw a shift in paradigm. Suddenly people were talking about it - and those people were doctors. It began to emerge as a problem which could be solved with the right medicine.
We could even tell you the name of the man who invented the word "menopause", where previously there had been no name for the common life event (Charles-Pierre-Louis de Gardanne, a student doctor in 1821).
Things are starting to change. Celebrities are speaking out. Brands are jumping on the bandwagon. But where's menopause in the cultural sphere? Where's the art and the literature? Menopause: What's Changed will bring together the burgeoning cultural space around menopause. We're carving out space to knit together a tapestry of rich experiences, and making a space to create.
But we need your help to do this. Any donation helps smash the silence and erasure gofundme.com/f/r9tszw
Oh wow.
Donated! I couldn't match the thousand quid one that was up at the top of your "recents" list (congrats!) but love the cause. Hope there's some virtual component as this gets developed, as I'm in North America.

GOP slur. “Democrat” is a noun, “Democratic” is an adjective.
“Sen Joseph McCarthy helped popularize the term.
Over the decades, Democratic party became assoc w liberal policies, & eventually, “the ‘Democrat party’ slur became condemnation of liberalism itself”..Phrase was huge hit in 90s & 2000s; Gingrich, Limbaugh & GW Bush played it on repeat. By following decade, Trump was mandating the word: “The Democrat party. Not Democratic. It’s Democrat. We have to do that.”

@bers Je me souviens parfaitement, c'était avant d'aborder les côtes corses.

Devastating review of the degrowth literature (561 studies):
- 'few studies use quantitative or qualitative data...'
- [those that do] 'tend to include small samples or focus on non-representative cases'
- 'large majority (almost 90%) are opinions rather than analysis'
@mysteriarch @noam @koen_hufkens I agree with that, and having the research on sustainability available will be useful when the conditions for trying these ideas come around.
I'm definitely not opposed to more research in this area, I just think we need to be clear on what the core problem we're facing is.
