I'll be honest, if he did good things for the small folk I'd despise him less. If he would do a lot of those things and not the mysoginst and distriminative and racist stuff, maybe i'd not dispose him at all anymore. If he, for example would acknowledge the ICJ or would end the Israeli genocide, I might really despise him less. Not saying i'll end up liking him, but I'd give the man new chances if he'd show he can change his ways - sure.

Maybe because in his view of the world Andrew Tate is not a bad role model. Imagine how twisted your world view has to be to think that though. Or maybe, he's just afraid to lose a voter, you know how those populists are. They do anything for that vote.

Paris and Berlin seek deal to strengthen protections in the EU’s Industrial Accelerator Act and soften the combustion engine ban.

PARIS — Emmanuel Macron and Friedrich Merz are trying to jump-start the Franco-German engine one final time.

After joint ministerial meetings in Germany last week, the leaders of the European Union’s two biggest economies have tasked their governments with striking a grand bargain that they say would strengthen Europe’s industrial defenses and revive the bloc’s automotive industry — key priorities for the two countries.

Once you read "spoiler concerning Project Hail Mary' your peripheral vision will have read the actual spoiler. Better put the spoiler warning in the title, but not the actual spoiler.

The money Greece pays to Israel will be used by Israel for Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Greece should not buy stuff from war criminals. Not military equipment, not spy software, not even candy.

Strange, if it is all parking I would think there'd be plenty of space ;)

Western Russia is historically a European culture though, definitely if you scale out and look further than just a single century. I see how it is now as far-east European, (because Putin wants to distinguish himself from Eastern-Europeans), but still Europe. Not all of it though, large parts of Eastern Russia were basically colonized and the original inhabitants of those regions have very different cultures. Geographically you can argue Russia is half European, half Asian; but you could also argue both are the same continent making Russia a central Eurasian country. But then we come back to the original topic, what part of west-Eurasia is actually west-Eurasia?

  • Estonia, Luxembourg and UK are the top three in biennial Yale University index in tackling pollution and other issues
  • US, China are falling further behind, the researchers say

...

The biennial Yale University index again ranks Estonia as the best-performing of 177 assessed countries, after strong recent efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and protect its ecosystems. Luxembourg is second, and the UK is third, having moved up from fifth place in the 2024 index.

European countries dominate the top 20, with only Japan, in 16th, not situated in the continent. Australia is in 25th place, two places ahead of the US. Laos is the last-ranked nation, with the bottom three rounded out by India and Bangladesh.

...

Despite this worsening situation, several countries, most notably the US under Donald Trump, have recently scaled back efforts to combat the climate crisis. The Yale index uses data up to 2024, capturing the last part of Joe Biden’s presidency rather than Trump’s, but still finds that even then the US’s emissions were falling far too slowly to reach net zero by 2050, as the science demands must be done to avoid disastrous climate breakdown.

China, now the world’s largest carbon emitter ahead of the US, has made huge progress in developing its clean energy sector, the Yale report finds, but still derives 56% of its electricity from coal, the dirtiest of fossil fuels, and performs relatively poorly on its marine conservation and biodiversity stewardship, the scorecard found.

...

“Europe has really stepped out in front and is continuing to pursue climate change with not the full vigor it might have a few years back when the political circumstances were different, but they’re getting the payback for decades now of work on this issue at the cutting edge,” said Esty.

“The laggards in the US and China both are still lagging, seem to be falling further behind and are holding back the global community’s efforts to achieve the targets that have been agreed upon.”

China has climbed the table somewhat to 129th position, however, after previously being ranked near last due to the dangerous air pollution suffered by many of its major cities. It has since removed many of the coal-fired power plants near cities that caused such problems. The Yale index also marks India down for its tree cover loss, pesticide pollution risks and ocean conservation from the last index. “India’s performance is shockingly bad for a country that aspires to be a leader in global terms on the economy,” Esty said.

Volkswagen is in talks with Israel's Rafael Advanced Defence Systems ‌over a deal that would shift production at the carmaker's Osnabrueck plant from cars to missile defence, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the plan.

https://www.reuters.com/business/volkswagen-shift-production-missile-defense-one-factory-deal-with-israeli-2026-03-24/


Volkswagen wants to move from building cars to supplying systems used in warfare at its Osnabrück factory - and make billions from it.

The deal is not done yet. We call on Volkswagen to:

  • Stop negotiations on this deadly deal immediately
  • Rule out producing parts linked to Israeli military technology;
  • Keep the Osnabrück site focused on civilian manufacturing;
  • Publish full transparency on any talks with military contractors
