Since 2007, Britain has been left behind. Its output per person is now only just above that of Mississippi US poorest state—and that slight lead is only achieved thanks to London. Outside the capital, living standards fall well below Mississippi’s https://t.co/mehJelPmtv
@Billbrowder although, its literally his job to say that (or something similar); & more than his life's worth to say different. notwithstanding, he's still an odious little toad.
The American elite believes that it is their manifest destiny to control the entire world. It's driven by perceptions of moral superiority. However, it's hard to claim this right when the US government keeps projecting the worst aspects of human culture. When the majority of Americans see a future of becoming the permanent underclass.
“Wake up and smell the coffee.”
That’s how a minister from the Lebanese Forces party responded when I asked what he would say to those in Lebanon who still believe Hezbollah remains the country’s only deterrent against Israel.

🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦 Europe’s top missile maker MBDA has successfully tested the new CROSSBOW long-range cruise missile designed specifically for Ukraine, marking another major step in providing affordable, US-component-free deep-strike capabilities to Kyiv.
The largest European arms corporation, MBDA, has announced the successful test launch of the CROSSBOW cruise missile, specially developed for Ukraine under the Project Brakestop program.
🚀 The missile’s warhead weighs approximately 300 kg, with a flight range of over 800 km.
Project Brakestop is a UK Ministry of Defence initiative launched in November 2024 to create cheap, mass-produced, long-range cruise missiles for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A key condition is the complete exclusion of American-made components and US-supplied data.

🔥 This is why the clip is exploding.Sarah Netanyahu pleads for sympathy:
“My children have suffered shaming and violence simply because they are the children of the Prime Minister. We must condemn personal attacks on children in any setting.”
🇬🇧 A British activist’s response hits like a hammer:
“Did your children starve?
Were they bombed?
Did you receive them in plastic bags?
Were they shot while collecting water, ribs shattered?
Your criminal husband did this to the children of Gaza.”
The video is devastating.
Her words play while these questions overlay in Arabic.
The contrast is brutal.
This is the double standard the world can no longer ignore
@Anna_Soubry politics has always been a bit of a cesspit & there never was a 'golden age'. yet things do seem to be going from worse, to worse still. failing an apocalypse, i have no remaining hope. time to head to the mountains....leave the rabble to their thing.
Wow. This seems big
Scientists just found a way to revive "dead" EV batteries to 95% of their original performance.
Researchers developed a new recycling method called DEER that restores spent lithium-ion batteries instead of shredding or melting them.
The team used a special solvent called 1,3-Dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI) to dissolve the degraded Electrode-Electrolyte Interphase (EEI), a chemical layer that builds up inside batteries and reduces performance.
In laboratory tests, regenerated electrodes recovered up to 95% of their original capacity while reducing recycled-cell manufacturing costs by 56% compared to conventional recycling methods.
Rather than destroying batteries to recover raw materials, DEER directly repairs and reuses existing electrodes, creating a faster and more efficient recycling pathway.
We're moving from recycling batteries.. to regenerating them.
Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.
The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts & answers for free.
AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.
And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.
We built the library.
Someone else started charging admission.
@TomLondon6 Russia have done a pretty good job of nobbling us (or facilitating our nobbling of ourselves), even without an outright invasion. certainly they couldn't sustain an occupation - they'd rather just fuck us over & invade someone nearer. a joint defence strategy is still legitimate.
@JillBelch strange. intuitively i might have expected pollution to increase lung growth as the body strives to compensate for lower oxygen? have heard smokers can be affected that way.
Finally, a use for corporate bulls*it: Companies might one day be able to use it to choose who to hire and promote depending on how receptive they are to it, says @MetacogniShane research
