  • yes, fytoplankton, but those are plants too. THey'll be extinct in +/-500 years because of the ocean acidification, which is a result of the sea absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere.

  • Is Vance an albatross around Trump's neck? And if so, will Trump fire him to save himself?
  • I think the claim is that the planning started after the disastrous debate. The inner circle of the DEM party knew he was going out, but was orchestrating a "he isn't going anywhere, he will remain our nominee"-narrative in the media before and during the RNC.

  • Name & shame. :)
  • Fun fact! In the Netherlands, Elsevier publishes a weekly magazine about politics, which is basically the written version of Fox News for that country. Very nice that those people control like 50% of all academic publishing.

  • Good thread on America's Ukraine 2.0 attempt in Georgia. It's now threatening the families of Georgian politicians
  • protesting over something so insignificant and inconsequential

    Yes and no. The thing itself is small and inconsequential, but the subtext is a protest in favour of joining the EU and joining Schengen. The fact that relatively important EU-politicians are there to speech to the protesters makes that all the more clear.

    (Imagine the opposite: like the head of the foreign affairs committe of Belarus talking to anti-governement-protsters in a EU-country. They'd be kicked out of the country immediatly and Belarus got themselves some extra sanctions.)

  • Cops cars burned in Portland for Palestinian protest support
  • our pressure isn't working

    That's not true. Evergreen state college is divesting because of student demands. Basically every university in Spain as well, in Belgium the Free University of Brussels is divesting and in Ireland Trinity college as well. This is just the beginning.

  • Nature notes that countries in which different political forces rule have slightly different political priorities regarding science.

    Trump calls for mass deportations of socialists and communists, citizens and non-citizens alike
    www.wsws.org In Nazi diatribe, Trump calls for mass deportations of socialists and communists

    Trump speaks not just for himself. A substantial section of the ruling class is convinced that it confronts a massive social movement of workers that poses the greatest danger to its wealth and privileges.

    For the first time since 1949, representatives of the Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) were elected in the Salzburg State House.

    This is the second State House in which they've achieved electoral succes. In Styria they also have elected members, and since 2021 they've won the mayoral office in it's largest city: Graz.

    what do the parties stand for:

    • ÖVP: Christian-Democrats, traditional centre-right party
    • SPÖ: Social-democrats
    • FPÖ: Extreme-right
    • Grüne: The Green Party
    • NEOS: Liberals
    • KPÖ: Communist Party

    Some context about this election: It looks like the ultra-right was a big winner, but it's important to note that in the previous election another extreme-right party also participated in the elections, and got 4.5% of the vote. They're out of the picture now, and ÖVP now has those votes.
