Here is my truth: I possess something of rare value; my life's purpose it to share it.

Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking...—Lev Tolstoï

‘Meekness in itself is nothing else than a true knowing and feeling of a man’s self as he is. Any man who truly sees and feels himself as he is must surely be meek indeed.’

Goldman Sachs Research on the Spanish economy:

Goldman highlights Spain’s growth at nearly three times the euro area average, stronger productivity growth, record employment levels, lower energy costs, and a reduction in public debt.

Employment & productivity

Unemployment has fallen to its lowest level since 2008, and Goldman notes that Spain has recorded the strongest productivity growth among the EU’s four largest economies since 2021.

Debt

Goldman says Spain is the only one of the EU’s four largest economies expected to reduce its debt-to-GDP ratio over the next three years.

Spain’s public debt has already fallen from around 120% of GDP at the pandemic peak to 100.7% in 2025

Energy

Goldman notes that Spain is the least exposed of Europe’s four largest economies to the hydrocarbons shock. Lower electricity costs and higher renewable generation are increasingly becoming a competitiveness advantage for Spain.

Immigration

Around 50% of Spain’s foreign-born population comes from Latin America, creating a much higher level of linguistic, cultural and labour-market integration than in other european countries.

Pope Leo XIV in Madrid: “I encourage you to nurture the process of European Union, which is not merely a counterweight to other powers, but a gift to humanity.”

Wonderful.
A powerful reminder of how beautiful and hopeful the European project truly is.

The three year running average for the global surface temperature anomaly is now more than 1.54°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.

With El Nino ahead, expect this to keep rising over the next two years.

Sea-surface temperature records are being shattered daily, and yet this El Nino is just getting started ...

Glorification? There was zero glory in my addiction. It was truly the most excruciatingly humiliating and degrading experience you could possibly imagine. I wanted to commit suicide almost daliy, but didn’t have the courage for even that. Instead I’d reach for the pipe or the bottle. The cowards way out. The guilt. The shame. The hurt. The absolute misery of it. Yet here I am. And I am not alone. There are millions upon millions of us. We don’t all agree on politics or people or who we root for on Sunday. But we all have the shared experience of walking through that fire and surviving. I chose to live. That’s not a joke.

@jamescoder12 That's not a proof. That's a rigorous formal argument based on a limited set of particular assumptions. Things can go a million different ways.

This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.

Sometimes being kind is difficult, but so is much of what is worth in life.
