Trump’s war on windmills started in Scotland. Now he’s taking it global
Trump’s bitter dislike of renewable energy first erupted publicly 14 years ago in a seemingly trivial spat over wind turbines visible from his Scottish golf course. As Trump returns to Scotland this week, though, he is using the US presidency to squash clean power, with major ramifications for the climate crisis and America’s place in the world.Although Trump failed in his legal attempt to halt the Scottish wind farm, an enduring scorn towards renewables appears to have been seeded that now has global consequences.
As president, Trump has declared wind and solar projects unwelcome in the US, barring them from federal lands and signing a vast spending bill that demolishes support for a nascent industry that held the promise of revamping the American economy while cutting dangerous planet-heating pollution.

We know they started as a neo-Nazi paramilitary/street gang, which is why the US once designated them as a terrorist organization.
If you refuse to see the obvious facts in front of your face, I'm not going to be able to convince you.
And it doesn't matter.
They're going to fucking lose and there's nothing you can do about it.
The Western Media Is Whitewashing the Azov Battalion | The Nation
Before Russia invaded Ukraine, these fighters were neo-Nazis. They still are.The Nation
But the truth is that this is an easily debunked fantasy spun out by a handful of propagandists. Yet Western media has repeated their falsehoods with a neglect for the basic tenets of journalism that stretches beyond the fog of war into the realm of intentional blindness.
Nope not a single Russian talking point anywhere to be found.

"He said he supports strong leadership for Ukraine, like Germany during World War II, but opposes the Nazis' genocide against Jews. Minorities should be tolerated as long as they are peaceful and don't demand special privileges, he said, and the property of wealthy oligarchs should be taken away and nationalized." Usa-TodaySeems like there is a bit of miss interpretation of the word Nazi here
'While the Azov Battalion represents only a tiny fraction of the brave Ukrainian defence forces fighting Russia, their regional notoriety has enabled Mr Putin to put across a useful lie to “justify” his invasion of a free democratic nation.' Independant
So a tiny minority that has virtually no power makes all of Ukraine a Nazi state??
On its face, Putin’s smear is absurd, not least because Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish and has said that members of his family were killed during World War II. There is also no evidence of recent mass killings or ethnic purges taking place in Ukraine. Moreover, labeling enemies Nazis is a common political ploy in Russia, especially from a leader who favors disinformation campaigns and wants to stir up feelings of national vengeance against a WWII foe to justify conquest. - NBC Opinion piece

And Russia will not give up all their captured territory unless completedly defeated/unable to continue the war, also unlikely. So is getting all territory back really worth all the loss of life and the correct diplomatic approach? Russia won't end the war losing their captured territory, or rather Putin will not.

Il cuore della nuova edizione di RipaMagic batte forte nel nome di Mattia Flip, al secolo Mattia Bidoli, mago, fotografo e operatore umanitario che da oltre quindici anni porta la magia nei luoghi più feriti del mondo: ospedali da campo, carceri, campi profughi, zone di guerra.
Oltre allo spettacolo che aprirà la prima giornata, Mattia sarà protagonista di un incontro pubblico in cui condividerà esperienze, immagini e storie dai conflitti in Siria, Libano, Iraq, Ucraina e nella Striscia di Gaza, dove ha trasformato le sue esibizioni in gesti di cura, resistenza e umanità.
Accanto a lui, un cast ricco di artisti italiani e internazionali: dal cubano Ernesto Planas Roldan - maestro mondiale della comedy magic, Luca D’Avvero – definito “giocoliere della magia” e “comico del pericolo”, Manuel Guarnori - specializzato in grandi effetti scenici; Tino Fimiani - già protagonista a Zelig Circus e in tournée con Arturo Brachetti - Madame Rebiné, Daigoro e Giacomo Seri.

Their large firms and key industries are publicly owned, and central planning is the backbone of their economy. Their economic base is the public sector. This is socialism. State capitalism is when the large firms and key industries are privately owned, but directed by a strong state, like Singapore, the Republic of Korea, Bismark's Germany, and the US post-WWII. As far as corruption, over 90% of Chinese citizens approve of their government. Xi is incredibly popular because of the anti-corruption campaigns successfully removing large amounts of opportunists.

Okay, this is deeply unserious.
- Xi being head of state does not mean he owns the economy. This is incredibly silly, it's the same logic that people used when claiming Castro was incredibly wealthy, and just pointing to the GDP of Cuba as proof.
- The CPC absolutely looks out for the people of China. From the highly successful poverty eradication campaign, to the consistently and dramatically rising incomes for the working class, to the large infrastructure projects, the CPC is focused on the proletariat.
- A study from a western firm that found that Chinese citizens overwhelmingly approve of their government because of the dramatic and consistent improvements in their lives is absolutely proof of support for the system. It isn't proof of Xi being a "dictator."
Come on, this is nonsense. Please stick to reality.

No, Putin does not own the economy, just like Trump does not own the US. This is silly. Additionally, Russia is capitalist, and the PRC is socialist.
No, the CPC does not take organs from people off the streets. This is incredibly racist propaganda, and I cannot believe you're repeating this.
I'm not "simping" for anything, I've provided sources for what I've said, while you live in fantasy land where heads of state are owners of economies like we live in feudalism. This is nonsense. Plus, not sure why you're bringing in the DPRK and RF unprompted, we were discussing the PRC.
Yes, putin, being a dictator defacto owns the government, just like Xi, China isn't socialist.
reuters.com/article/us-britain…
You are regurgitating Chinese propaganda, that's why you're simping
socialism would be the government actually looking out for their population, which the Chinese government doesn’t do.
- The real wage (IE the wage adjusted for the prices you pay) has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country. This is staggering considering it's the most populous country on the planet. The US real wage by comparison is lower in 2019 than it was in 1973.
- Workplace democracy in action in the CPC.
- US Life expectancy peaked in 2015, is on the decline, and is now lower than in China. 2
- How healthcare works in China (refuting a fearmongering NYT video about health care in China).
- Uninsured Chinese citizens pay an average of $5-7 to see a specialist (the majority of hospital visits ), and with insurance, its free. 95% of Chinese citizens have insurance
- Wages themselves are forced to rise in the private sector by the CPC (+16% every years, +400% since 1980) who force the capitalists to accept the presence of CPC chapters who represent the interest of the workers, increasing workers control even in the capitalist parts of the economy.
- Eliminated Urban Poverty. On track to eliminate all poverty within a decade.
- CGTN documentary - China's war on poverty
- What kind of democracy does China have, and how is it different from the west?
- In contrast to low US political approval ratings, 96% of Chinese are satisfied with the national government (Edelmans 2016). World Values Surveys says that 83% think the country is run for their benefit rather than for the benefit of special groups.

Why does technology create new problems for each one it solves?
Technology is tricky. That’s why we need to think more carefully about risks and follow a more cautious approachGuardian staff reporter (The Guardian)
Technology reshared this.
There's an idea in marketing that if you create a solution, you also need to create new problems that you can market. For example, you buy a printer to allow you to print at home but now you need to buy overpriced proprietary ink. Or maybe you buy a phone, but now what can we do to make sure you come back to buy a new phone in 2 years? Truly solving a problem sells something once and that will not satisfy the infinite growth mindset.
It's a concept up there with Edward Bernays work in popularizing applying propaganda techniques to modern advertising as the idea that may have done the most to really push capitalism to its worst possible end.
I don't think a socialist society without propaganda would be much better or worse than a capitalist society without propaganda.
The differences would be almost decorative, so the socialist variant can be represented as a market of ideas in many democratic organs, with those people more successful by accepted criteria getting more resources allocated to them "for merit".
Or the capitalist variant can be represented as a system of efficient resource distribution via accepted universal equivalent, with voluntary associations and public morale acting to help those in need.
Those would be both comprised of humans, so without propaganda you'd have normal human hierarchies, human inequality and the resistance to it, human groupings and human hostility, all the same.
Provided, of course, that both are democratic. Otherwise you'll have Stalin's time Soviet bosses with their palaces and lovers and cars, and you'll have Nazi Germany's industrialists, the former as accountable as the latter and the latter as much part of the state hierarchy as the former.

Microsoft is also involved in Stargate as a tech partner. So are Arm and Nvidia. Middle East AI fund MGX will join SoftBank in its investment; MGX’s first public deal was an investment in OpenAI.SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle are also listed as “initial equity investors” in Stargate.
It's interesting that FoxNews omit that the source for big part of that funding is coming from Middle East.
You made a very strong claim that she committed a sex crime. You imply her accusations are wrong and malicious. You jumped to that conclusion and took that as fact. And you didn't even bother to read what she did. You judged her without even caring about that.
Not saying you are a bigot, but what you did was bigoted. You should reflect on your behavior, apologize and resolve not to do it again. Only then you could ask for the downvotes to stop lol.

The appetite for 6G looks much bigger in China and the US than it does in Europe
Don't know about Europe but most people in North America are still on 4G even though new phones are 5G capable because the ISPs charge a huge premium for 5G plans. No one wants 6G here because no one wants to pay even more.
But hey, China is getting 6G BUT AT WHAT COST?? Probably a lot less than even the 4G plans over here.

Chinese math team wins the 2025 International Olympiad
Chinese math team wins the 2025 International Olympiad, demonstrating outstanding strength. - International News
China won the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad, followed by the United States and South Korea. Chinese-American contestants performed outstandingly, sparking widespread discussion.en.ckhq.net
Through such an Olympic mathematics competition, it can be seen that the intelligence of Chinese people and their descendants is far superior to that of other races around the world. Not only did our country's team win, but other countries have also started using Chinese-heritage players. They know that whether it's white or black people, there is a significant gap in intelligence, and only East Asians, not including Japan and South Korea, are pure Chinese with the highest intelligence and problem-solving ability. This has been proven countless times, but black and white people do not want to admit it.It must also be said that Chinese-heritage people who have emigrated all over the world have generally improved the intellectual level of countries around the world. However, the natural advantage of our race is simply too great, and the intellectual levels of other countries are just not able to catch up. Regardless of how you look at it, this math competition demonstrates the true superior intelligence and strength, which is the most powerful fact.

Hopes of a reset in relations rose in the first quarter but came back to Earth with controls on critical minerals.Finbarr Bermingham (South China Morning Post)
it bizarre to see the eu take such a hostile stance when it's clear that the us is going to abandon them, leaving china as its only alternative
then again, their dismissiveness allowed for china to develop while they focused on russia; so i guess it's par for the course.

About Cookies!
IF YOU "ACCEPT ALL COOKIES"
BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT COOKIES THESE ARE.
*This graphic is free of copyrighted third-party elements and is released under the Creative Commons license CC BY-SA 4.0. Please attribute as: “skeptical-squirrel-series, 2025.”
So unfortunately websites routinely and carelessly lie about basically everything related to data protection stuff. This already begins with the term "technically necessary cookies". No cookie is truly technically necessary. What they usually mean by that is "we really really want to put this tracking cookie from our ad partners like Google into your browser, and we don't care whether you want that or not so we just claim it's technically necessary". But even if you refuse a cookie prompt, often your choice isn't respected at all and cookies are created regardless. In fact, many cookies are already created at the very beginning before you make any choice in any sort of cookie banner. Basically this whole ad/tracking industry is a complete mess and no one really cares and it's just best to completely ignore what sites claim and use technical means to protect yourself at least a little bit because you cannot trust ANY site's claims regarding that. Most of the time, even the phrase "we value your privacy" is already the very first and biggest lie. Don't trust what websites claim. It's pointless, and nothing happens when they violate their own rules or data protection laws anyway. Which they do almost all of the time anyway. This illegality is routine and almost omni-present. Cookies are also far from the only thing that sites can use to track you. They're just the most well-known method, which is probably why we have these near-pointless laws requiring sites to put up near-pointless banners to annoy visitors with.
So as a user, you should just ignore any of that and completely rely on technical means to protect yourself from any or most kinds of shenanigans websites can do to you.
Most privacy-respecting browsers have features that limit what sites are able to do with you, such as cookie isolation which prevents other sites from being able to read the contents of cookies belonging to other sites. Or more general, isolation of any website data, not just limited to cookies. But not every browser has these types of protection. If you use very common browsers like Chrome, Edge or Opera, then it's likely that you have none of that because the developers of those browsers are companies which profit from the user being more easily trackable through the web.
So the easiest solution as a user is to use a privacy-respecting, well-pre-configured browser like Librewolf or Mullvad Browser, and use uBlock Origin as the only extension with several enabled filter lists. This alone makes you a much harder tracking target. And of course you can safely ignore or block any cookie notices, it doesn't really matter what you select in them most of the time anyway. Although your IP address is still always a liability with ANY browser, because it can be fairly easily linked to your person and you will expose your IP address with any regular browser, so if you want to browse anonymously you should use the Tor Browser (with mostly default settings and no additional extensions). That means that you won't have ad blocking protection, but at the same time the site and any ad servers don't know who you are anyway (you're just some random person from a random country for them), unless you make a mistake and log into a personally-identifiable account or so. The Tor Browser also contains the most amount of anti-tracking and anti-fingerprinting techniques possible. For casual anonymous browsing you should absolutely use the Tor Browser, because with it it's highly unlikely that a website is able to identify you. Its main disadvantages are that it's slower, some sites block that kind of browser, and since you shouldn't add any other extensions you will see ads with it, but your identity still remains protected unless you make a mistake. Still, it should be your go-to browser for anonymous browsing. Switch to your regular browser for when you want to log in to an account with personal details.
The easy way for iOS users (to which I count myself) is not to exchange Safari for worse like Big Data Chrome or Chinese Opera, but simply activate the Private Relay in the settings, so you are safer and more comfortable on the road.
It would be better to take another browser, even if they are all WebKit here at the moment.
My tip right now is to use Orion, for screwing, but also in the basic settings, with Kagi (if you are willing to pay for searches) or Startpage as a search engine. Or DuckDuckGo Browser as a no-brainer.
A chic VPN like the one from Proton or Nord and the party should be safe for now.

If you don't give a fuck, maybe prove it by ignoring it and moving on, instead of DECLARING IN ALL CAPS YOU DONT CARE ABOUT IT
Because otherwise, how it comes across as is "I find politics highly annoying/uncomfortable for some reason, but I also want people to know that about me!"

in reply to NarrativeBear • • •It's so wild. I vacationed in Northern England, about an hour south of Scotland, in Tynemouth, and our whole family found the offshore turbines to be magical.
There's ruins of like a massive 4-6 story monastery from the 15th century, and it's wild because the remnants of the one wall are the tallest thing in town, and have been for centuries. There's literally paintings and drawings going back centuries showing it, and centuries and centuries of people living in the shadow of this partial massive monument that no longer exists.
It's super interesting, but there's also something kind of inherently scary and depressing about feeling like you're seeing ancient remnants of some massive great thing that can no longer be done.
But then at a foggy sunset we saw the off shore turbines and it was genuinely uplifting and magical in a solar punk way. Just the blades peaked out of the fog, and similar to the monastery ruins, they looked too big to be created by humans, but these were actually still working. It felt like it was providing a glimpse into our future massive endeavours, and was one of the most magical moments of the whole trip.
