Things I love about visiting the UK: 1. Seeing my family and old friends 2. Great bookshops, often featuring cake and tea 3. Pubs - especially the country ones 4. Good possibilities for outdoor activities like hiking and kayaking.
Things I dislike: all of this basically 👇

I broadly agree but most of our family's NHS experience is a lot better than that reported for Scotland. Things I think (subjective biased sampling?) are much better in continental Europe: Driver behaviour. Standards of courtesy among strangers. Quality of the public realm (pavements, urban green spaces). Support for small businesses. Coffee. Public transport, generally. In Northern Europe and a number of other places, cycle provision. Linguistic capabilities.

> La narrazione per chiedere l’abolizione dell'obbligo vaccinale è usata come “piede di porco” per scardinare le evidenze scientifiche e diffondere sfiducia, sospetti e paura verso i #vaccini. Risultato? Calano le coperture, mettendo a rischio i più fragili e la #salute collettiva #SalviamoSSN
no perché mi pare sia una cosa che sta prendendo fin troppo piede…. Insomma come se ai politici facesse comodo così ? (E non solo per raccogliere voti facili intendo) magari sbaglio eh, ma mi pare stia prendendo molto spazio sta cosa dei no vax (mi fa senso pure dire no vax, ma cazz la medicina ha lottato secoli per inventarli porca di quella….)
@andre123 eugenetica, la fallacia individualista dei ricchi che credono di essere “al sicuro” perché loro le cure se le possono sempre permettere (ignorando l'importanza della salute pubblica anche per la loro salute), la diffusione di FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) come strumento di controllo della popolazione, propaganda estera (dimostratamente russa, ma non sarei sorpreso ci fosse anche zampino cinese) per destabilizzare/indebolire EU ed USA ..
la soglia è quando si scende sotto la percentuale che fa funzionare la copertura “di gregge”? Fino a che son tre “scappati di casa” son fatti loro, quando son tanti diventano problemi per tutti purtroppo.

Director of European Transport Safety Council: "Europe now risks being flooded with oversized, under-regulated US pick-up trucks and SUVs – heavier, more dangerous to other car drivers, pedestrians and cyclists, and completely out of step with Europe’s vision for safer, more sustainable mobility.” etsc.eu/etsc-mutual-recognitio…
By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the United States, the European Union has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice…
they feel a bit sick and „foggy“ when they are back in the US, because of the food there. Lower standards, ingredients, that are banned in the EU (e.g. thought to cause cancer) not to mention more antibiotics and preservatives in the „food“.
If that shit comes to Europe now, we‘ll have very big problems. The cars are an informed decision by consumers, but who reads through all the ingredients of a food product and looks up, what they do to you?
@klarnebel who reads through the safety regulations for a vehicle? People assume that the vehicle will have a crumple zone and that it will be tested for stability and have a reinforced passenger compartment. These vehicles (as they are over 1.5 tons) are exempt from all the regulations. They are profoundly unsafe
Sur Libération (article en partie réservé aux titulaires d'un abonnement) : "Tapisserie de Bayeux : la préfecture du Calvados supprime de son compte une vidéo qui déconseillait le transport de l’œuvre. Plusieurs contenus institutionnels relatifs au déplacement de l’œuvre millénaire ont été rendus inaccessibles, alors que son prêt au British Museum, voulu par l’Elysée, suscite la polémique." liberation.fr/checknews/tapiss… #TapisserieDeBayeux #politique #FRpol #Macron #patrimoine #matrimoine #Bayeux #Calvados 1/3
" la vidéo hébergée par la préfecture du Calvados n’est pas la seule page à avoir disparu. En consultant le communiqué de presse du 11 juillet du musée de Bayeux, estimant que l’expertise des équipes françaises et britanniques autorise le transport de l’œuvre textile à Londres, CheckNews s’est aperçu que l’article de la Drac de Normandie «A Bayeux, les coulisses d’un transport d’œuvre millénaire», a lui aussi été retiré du site de la préfecture. Cependant il reste bien conservé sur Internet Archive. Plus largement, c’est tout le dossier en ligne consacré à la tapisserie de Bayeux qui a été effacé." 3/3

L'immagine mostra una scultura fatta di argilla rossastra, raffigurante un orso seduto con un piccolo orsacchiotto accanto a lui. La scultura è posizionata su un coperchio nero di un contenitore, che sembra essere un barattolo di spezie. La superficie del coperchio è decorata con un disegno che include il testo "COFFEE" e un'immagine di una tazza di caffè. Lo sfondo è sfocato, mostrando un paesaggio esterno con erba e terra. La scultura è realizzata con un aspetto artigianale, con dettagli semplici e una superficie leggermente irregolare, tipica dell'argilla non ancora cotta.

The image depicts a humanoid robot with a spherical head and a metallic body. The robot's head is white with a central vertical seam and is connected to two coiled tubes that extend from the sides of its head, suggesting advanced technology.

The jacket features a complex network of wires and components, indicating a high level of technological integration. The robot's hand is visible, showcasing a mechanical design with articulated fingers and a detailed, ornate appearance. The background is a solid orange color, which contrasts with the robot's metallic and orange elements, emphasizing its futuristic design.

The ignorance and disdain of Trump's foreign envoys is pissing other countries off. I guess that's an inevitable consequence of appointing unqualified toadies with zero diplomatic experience.
Denmark and Turkey have both had run-ins with the Maga mentality this week. And after he made outrageous demands of the French state, France summoned US Ambassador Charles Kushner (Jared's dad). He didn't even bother to turn up to the meeting.
American exceptionalism is indistinguishable from ignorance, and America's international standing continues to plummet.
A black, octagonal moka pot sits on a stainless steel gas stove with a blue flame burning underneath its base. The pot's lid is open, revealing its silver-toned aluminum upper chamber, where a stream of dark brown coffee is actively brewing and flowing from the central spout. The stove has black grates, and a textured, light brown tiled backsplash is visible in the background.
A unique ceiling light fixture made from a vintage-style kettle. The kettle, with a copper body and brass accents, hangs from the ceiling by a chain and is tilted at an angle. A long, textured light bulb, glowing brightly, hangs from its spout, creating the illusion of liquid pouring out. The background features wooden cabinets and a wooden paneled wall, with a few soda cans visible on a surface in the lower right.
A unique ceiling light fixture made from a vintage, shiny, golden-toned brass or copper teapot. The teapot hangs tilted from the ceiling, suspended by chains from a dark metal canopy. It features an ornate, curved metal handle with a white and blue patterned ceramic grip, and a matching knob on its lid. From the teapot's spout, a glowing incandescent light bulb extends downwards, illuminating the scene. The background shows a light-colored ceiling with shadows and, below, wooden cabinets with horizontally aligned planks.
A unique light fixture made from a vintage copper tea kettle hangs from a rustic wooden ceiling. The kettle features a brass rim and spout, with a white ceramic handle and lid finial, both decorated with blue patterns. A bright, warm, flame-shaped light bulb extends downwards from the kettle's spout. In the background, light brown wooden kitchen cabinets are visible, separated by a backsplash made of horizontally arranged light-toned wooden planks.
