Former fund manager and economist. Deeply alarmed by the climate crisis. Neo-liberalism has been catastrophic for our civilisation. I mostly follow back.
Chance of El Niño forming in Pacific Ocean may push global temperatures to record highs in 2027.
One expert says 2027 could be even hotter than the last three years, which have been the top three warmest on record.
While the Earth burns, politicians cosy up to big oil and legacy auto.

I don't think it's really my fault that the most august revered Von Misean ideal filtered through its credulous born-wealthy theoreticians' most bountiful petri dish, the United States of America, is right now an actual blood-spattered clusterfuck of repression, witchhunts, malice, subjugation, book-burning and the systematic and unaccountable murders of any person extra-white people consider non-"normal." Like, motherfuckers, we've been telling everyone that was their actual program and point for fucking decades now.
And liberal people did a handwave and said "Oh you wacky lefties with your hyperbole."

Observations from a Canadian visiting New Zealand:
-Making NZers say "Saskatchewan" is kind of hilarious
-Roundabouts work really really well when everyone is used to them
-Drip coffee apparently does not exist here (espresso-based coffee drinks only. Even at the one Dunkin Donuts I saw in a hideous mall I had to go inside in Auckland).
-NZ signs do not play around (see example below)
6 février 1945 : Naissance du chanteur et guitariste jamaïcain Bob Marley.
Ayant rencontré de son vivant un succès mondial, il reste à ce jour le musicien le plus connu du reggae, et celui qui a permis de populariser la musique jamaïcaine à travers le monde 🎶.

Ok. Forget literally EVERYTHING else about the turd that is the current US president. Imagine the uproar if literally any other politician tried to pull this stunt. Instead, it's just another drop in the bucket of shit.

#Craptocurrency is indeed a massive ponzi scheme run by and for the benefit of transnational organized crime. We've been watching the money flows for years.
“The check is in the mail”
In yet another appalling move by the Trump regime, Trump appointee Tom Dans walks off stage from an NRK interview, and passes by Greenlandic member of The Danish Parliament Aaja Chemnitz, telling her “The check is in the mail”, as if Greenland was being sold to the US.
May the American people win the midterms and impeach every clown in the Trump cirkus.
DR has the episode on video:

[white/privileged] Americans reading history: "Wow, how did people put up with the Stasi just operating with impunity and abject malice?"
[white/privileged] America today: ICE is leaving Death Cards on peoples' property and after capturing/kidnapping people. The Vice President said these untrained military cosplay head-crackers are "protected by absolute immunity"
"Can it happen here?" is not a valid question. It's already happened. Papers please.
"For months, the Trump administration has justified its dramatic midnight raid on a Chicago apartment complex by saying that it had intelligence that the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But officials have provided no evidence to back up the claim."

Possibility of US ever selling Australia nuclear submarines is increasingly remote, Aukus critics say
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/feb/05/aukus-nuclear-submarine-deal-us-australia
Instead, the US wants to station nuclear-armed subs in Australian ports! Fuck, no.
Indeed. The signs of collapse continue to mount.
Actually, they're not at all creepy. They eat fruit, and they're rather cute! We have a smaller species which visit the fruit trees in our garden.
@Nigel_Purchase While some nazi sympathizers may say: 'So what? They're huge bats that creep me out, so what do I care?'.
Those people should realize what the significance of such events are. Time is running out.
