AI and automation could unlock significant economic value in Europe, but the pace of adoption is critical. By 2030, as much as $1.9 trillion could be realized in a midpoint scenario.

In a more gradual adoption scenario, the figure would be closer to $1.1 trillion. The gap between those outcomes depends on how quickly Europe invests, builds skills, and redesigns work.

People in #Gaza are dying from lack of humanitarian assistance - food, clean water, and other essential lifelines.

A ceasefire is long overdue and humanitarians should be able to reach all those in need, wherever they are.

Israel is perpetrating a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza, committing illegal acts with the “specific intent” of wiping out Palestinians, says Amnesty International in its annual report https://t.co/ktIs37PTSv

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

NGOs in Gaza warn food stocks are running low as malnutrition expands. The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has called it “likely… the worst humanitarian crisis in the 18 months” since Israel's war began.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed at least 17,400 Palestinian children in besieged Gaza. All of them spent their lives under an oppressive Israeli blockade and multiple wars.

Who were the thousands of children who had their childhood stolen? https://t.co/BAb3D1cXPJ

I don't know why so many Americans have this idea that Germans all feel guilty about WWII. I don't know anyone my generation or even my parents' generation who feels this way. I think this is a story that Americans are telling themselves.

What is true is that at least the Germans I know feel a responsibility to make sure what happened in Nazi Germany doesn't happen again, not here, and not anywhere else. I certainly do.

This is why we are scared by what we see happening in the United States. The concentration of power, the streamlining of opinions, the normalization of evil, and the populism to excuse it. These are all warning signs we were taught to recognize.

Americans have this idea that the Holocaust happened in Germany because something is especially wrong with Germans. We're just somehow especially evil. This is why the bad guys in Hollywood movies are always Germans. This is why they make jokes about our supposedly military sounding language.

I strongly disagree. What happened in Germany could have happened anywhere. It's just that Hitler was the first to exploit this weakness. He was a master of mass manipulation (probably strongly influenced by Le Bon's "The Crowd" -- worth a read if you don't know it).

Now we have new masters of mass manipulation. And of course Germans worry about it.

Don't confuse what we feel is our responsibility with guilt.

Yes, ugh, "responsibility". That sounds terribly German, doesn't it. I'm sure you read this wiz a Schermen eksent.

No, I'm not proud to be German. Why would I? I didn't do anything for it, I just happen to have been born to two Germans. But I am glad I am German because all things considered it's a good country.

But if it was possible to just identify as Earthling and not belong to any country, that's what I'd want to be.

Mike Casey, a US diplomat working on Gaza and Iraq War veteran, has resigned. “The more informed you become on this issue, you can’t avoid realizing how bad it is." And: "We don’t have a policy on Palestine. We just do what the Israelis want us to do.” https://t.co/R4TUUPfHwc

📣 In a world that makes enough food for everyone, NO one should go to bed hungry.

Access to sufficient and nutritious food is a human right.

Sorry to be obsessive - but this is really bizarre.

Yesterday's Amnesty report denouncing Israel for genocide is not even among the 7 headlines on the BBC's Israel-Gaza page. / 1
