The EPA says it will stop estimating the value of health benefits of reducing air pollution until it is “confident enough” in its models. But uncertainty doesn’t make an estimate useless.
This is like ignoring weather forecasts because they might not be perfect 🙄theconversation.com/what-air-p…
What air pollution does to the human body
The EPA is changing how it assesses proposed regulations by dropping the monetary value of health benefits from its cost-benefit analyses. That misses a big piece of the picture.The Conversation

Antonina became the first Ukrainian woman to climb two eight-thousanders within a single day. She has summited the world’s highest peak - Mount Everest - three times and conquered five of the highest mountains on the planet, all despite storms, extreme cold, and other severe weather challenges.

Here's a thought... maybe constraining economic activity isn't so bad?
Perhaps... just a wild idea here... we're not just put on this planet to increase shareholder value and line the pockets of the rich.
What if we considered arranging society so that its primary function was to ensure the welfare of people -- all people -- and "economic activity" can take a backseat for a few generations and see how that works out.
What if we started from the idea that all people have inherent value regardless of how much wealth they have or create?
“Europe is a regulatory morass that is built on bureaucracy, and the layering and layering of rules that constrain economic activity.”Scott Bessant, US Treasury Secretary
To which Europeans say:
Flint, Michigan
East Palestine, Ohio
Uniontown, AlabamaThese places are global bywords for the poisoning of people and nature when you have no regulatory oversight of business and you prioritise ‘economic activity’ at all costs over health and safety.

Europe needs a dramatic strategic revolution - now: historian Robert Kagan
Listen to “conservative historian... Robert Kagan about the critical geopolitical moment we are in. With the Trump administration [now in an effective state of] dictatorship, Kagan says, European governments need to completely change tack, fast. 'I feel like the administration has done everything except climb up on the roof of the White House and yell what they're going to do,' says Kagan. 'Trump is already talking about how you don't really need these midterm elections'.”
Kagan is like "Help I turned the conservative party into a protofascist movement and destroyed important checks and balances under Bush. To my surprise, the movement evolved into a fascist party. Nobody could have seen this coming. Nobody! Now somebody else help us. Right Now! or I'm getting angry !1!1!".
Also the fact he is married to Victoria "Let's foment War in Ukraine to fuck the EU" Nuland is so funny.
Creste curve vicino a Reull Vallis
L'obiettivo di questa osservazione è esaminare le creste curve sul fondo di un cratere. Potrebbero trattarsi di canali invertiti. Questa scena, disponibile anche nei dati della Context Camera, si trova all'interno di un cratere molto più grande e senza nome a est dell'enorme bacino da impatto Hellas. Reull Vallis è un sistema di canali di deflusso ampio e morfologicamente diversificato.

Stuck in office work for my bands and my business, but now I really feel like taking a break with a longish photo walk.
I have no idea if this #Sigma #MFT 30mm f2.8 will work for me, but you never know if you don't try. I was looking for something small to pair with my small #omSystems / #Olympus #EP7.
I will sell my #Panasonic #Leica #m43 25mm anyways because it annoys me too much. So perhaps this small piece of glass might do what I need for everyday snapshotting…?

Teenage girl wearing jersey with Palestinian flag refused entry to Sydney A-League game
As Ella Ajaje, a Palestinian Australian, attempted to enter the stadium just after 4.30pm on Sunday. The 15-year-old girl was wearing the jersey, which says “Palestine” on the front. A guard refused her entry, referring to her shirt and “the fact it’s got Palestine”.
“We don’t allow countries in here other than Australia,” the guard could be heard telling another man who intervened. Ella said she saw other fans wearing jerseys displaying other country’s flags who were walking into the stadium.
Her brother, who was standing next to her, was wearing a Portugal jersey and was not stopped as he walked in, she said.

Pointing out the hypocrisy gives undue credit to the "policy" in the first place. We know it's a lie.
What's amusing is that he accidentally acknowledged that Palestine is a country.

"Shelter!" is an initiative for free public overnight-shelters. I am developing it while studying M.A. #Gestaltung at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts #Bielefeld. There is also a project-website: shelter.apgw.de
It is about #infrastructure as #art: For #climate-friendly travels. For local #microadventures. #Socially inclusive and #ecologically reasonable.
I like to see many new public shelter-spaces and trekking-places and I want to build shelters together with you, e.g. on public meadows at the edge of cities.
That's also a bit egoistic because I like to experience self-efficacy while building it, and in the best case, make it experiencable for others, too.
Inspiration and motivation is the impressive culture of public fresh air #tourism in #Denmark. There are hundreds of trekking-places for up to two nights, often with wooden shelter-huts. And: You are allowed to place your tent beside of them, if they are already taken...

Sometimes I’ll watch a random “culture shock” video from someone visiting Australia. One thing that consistently surprises people is the public barbecues.
They can be found in public parks around the country and are usually maintained by the town councils. They’re free for anyone to use.
This seems normal to me.
Nice! We occasionally have public barbecues in some Canadian parks (eg local Britannia city park) but wow, nothing so substantial. Impressive.
Must immediately make foreign tourists utter something something 'shrimp on the barbie ' stereotypes. 😂
These exist because usually using your own BBQ is strictly forbidden to avoid the risk of the grass / vegetation catching fire and well.. you know people losing their homes and worse - It doesn't detract from the the fact that they are a good thing.
They encourage people to visit the area and enjoy time at the relevant park - so good for the local community.
They tend to be well designed for two reasons - it reduces maintance and causes people to respect them as community assets.
It may be French, but it’s nice.
Pretty expressive for an instrument incapable of getting louder or softer as you play.
It’s done in the timing.
