Hey TV people, don't say stupid things like this on TV.
Prof Chris JacksonBBC presenter: We all know the seas are warming-up…Anyone taking a dip this summer might appreciate that! 🤮
Regulate the shit out of them, European civil servants! <3

It'll be fine. It's all fine. No need to worry. #ClimateDisaster #ClimateChange
Nahel BelgherzeBordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.
Iva Vukušić's alternative career. I don't know how to drive, but that's a minor issue, I am sure. I can....Cycle around with them in a bakfiets, or cargo bike??? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

The State Department. The fucking ministry of foreign affairs of one of the wealthiest countries, with the best universities, in the world. Brain rot. An epic embarrassment and fully consistent with the fool festival that the US governance has been the last decade.
PBS NewsThe State Department said it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.
When will this festival of humiliation for the U.S. end, I wonder.
Eric Geller"A US government map of Africa mislabeled every country during a state department presentation at a global conference in Brazil this week, causing a stir among attenders who took screenshots and posted them online."
We have to fight this slopification of science and knowledge construction with all we've got. In the latest piece I wrote and which should be out soon, I talk explicitly about why I don't use those tools, literally for anything. Resist! #AIslop #Research #Academia www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/...
I'm sorry to say but, currently, the "Mediterranean lifestyle" is epic fires which ruin lives, nature, property and local economies. It's months of drought. I don't think it's that nice, frankly. Wanker.
Leo HickmanThe Daily Telegraph has raced through all five stages of climate denial this week. But this is, perhaps, the most ridiculous column so far: "Without minimising the severe downsides…especially on some poorer nations, many in Britain would enjoy the kind of warmer climate predicted by modellers..."
Dear PM, you don't "ga in gesprek" with extremists who use violence to intimidate their neighbours. You don't legitimise their methods by awarding them with conversation. FFS. There is normal way to conduct politics and policy, and a violent way. They are not the same. #Nederland #Netherlands
Johan FretzGa in gesprek met de mensen die 'kankerhoer!' op je huis kalken en die je auto in de plomp gooien, aldus de premier die zulk gedrag 'lelijk vandalisme' noemt. Het lelijke vandalisme neemt het ook veel te veel over van het mooie expressionistische vandalisme van vroeger.
This makes no sense. #Chad is leaving because "judicial activity focused on the Global South in general and the African continent in particular"and they do so upon a US request, as part of an effort to dismantle the #ICC because it went after A NON-AFRICAN STATE. What?!? www.rfi.fr/en/internati...
Do you read Finnish? I don't! But in case you do, here is a piece from the Finnish public broadcaster with a big story on what went on at the ASP last week (and I am in it)! The ASP president is Finnish, so this is extra interesting for that audience. #ASP #ICC #Finland yle.fi/a/74-20235757

I am no Venezuela expert, but my understanding (from reporting) is that they're not independent and Rubio tells the government what to do.
Mark Kersten“A government that abandons a multilateral treaty commitment on the timetable of another country’s diplomatic campaign is not conducting a foreign policy of its own." What drove Venezuela’s decision to leave the ICC? www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/... #ICC
