Seems Nicky NoBoats is under pressure from the hard right for not doing austerity ruthlessly enough. Although the debate itself is not ruthless since the Taxdodgers Onion are planning to wheel out Ruthenasia Richardson to debate NoBoats;

A clash of the neoclassical titans. Like a debate between 19th century orphanageers, over whether the current one is beating the orphans enthusiastically enough to get them adopted.

Hopefully people will see this debate, grok the horror these corporatist vampires have in store for us all, and vote for those campaigning on a politics of universal wellbeing in 2026.

L’uso dei #Social è dannoso per i più piccoli.
Uno studio svedese ha dimostrato che i bambini che trascorrono molto tempo sui #SocialMedia tendono a sperimentare un graduale declino della loro capacità di concentrazione.
Una ricerca che ha coinvolto oltre 100.000 giovani tra i 18 e i 24 anni ha rilevato che chi ha ricevuto il primo smartphone prima dei 13 anni riporta tassi più alti di pensieri suicidi, aggressività, ansia, bassa autostima e disturbi dell’umore.

Immediately after the 2024 US election there was a naive knee jerk reaction where pundits would claim the country as a whole had shifted right, and that to win vulnerable groups like trans people need to be thrown under the bus.
A new analysis challenges that view, suggesting that what really happened was fewer left-leaning voters came to the polls in 2024.
They note one of the largest problems was lack of a strong economic message from Democrats.

Dear Makers of the Mastodon Web Interface:
Can we get rid of or turn off a bit of annoyance in the web interface? When my pointer accidentally crosses over a tag in a toot, a popup appears that blocks my view of the toot. And the popup doesn't go away.
I don't want the popup to appear at all.

At the American Military Hospital No. 1 at Neuilly, supported by the ARC it was found neccesary to put up tents on the roofs of the two wings, to accommodate the overflow of wounded. A slight fire was started in the roof of one of these tents. The picture shows patients and members of the personnel watching it being put out. The damage was not serious

![The image depicts a historical scene, possibly from the early 20th century based on clothing styles and architectural design. A group of people is gathered outside an ornate building with multiple windows, some featuring shutters that are open, allowing individuals to look out or interact with others. The architecture suggests it could be a hospital or institutional structure.
The main focus is a large tent set up atop the right wing of this building, suggesting temporary accommodations for patients due to overcrowding in regular facilities. In front of and alongside the tent, people stand observing something off-camera left; their attire indicates they are likely soldiers, civilians including women wearing hats typical of early 20th-century fashion.
In contrast with these groups, a smaller gathering is seen on an elevated platform or balcony adjacent to another building across what seems like a courtyard. This area has ornate railings and appears more formal compared to the chaos below.
A fire hose reel lies beside one tent's entrance indicating firefighting activity; however, there's no visible smoke, suggesting control over any potential fire incident. The clear skies hint at good weather conditions during this event.
