i like how there's numerous multi-paragraph articles on why #mastodon failed to explode in popularity as /the/ twitter successor, even when it was the only viable twitter-like alternative in the early post-musk exodus days
when in reality you don't need multiple paragraphs to explain why that didn't happen, you just need one sentence: it was too complicated for the average user to figure out.
bam, that's it.

The idea of that young people lack grit, or need to build resilience as part of their education, as a way of seeking to reverse the mental health crisis among out young people is really just more 'victim blaming';
we need not just to support young people but ask: what is it about modern life (in the UK) that causes such anguish & mental health difficulties?
Otherwise we are just trying to deal with the symptom(s) not the cause of the problem.

@marjolica yes, I found that annoying too tbh.
The chart is from unicef.org/innocenti/reports/c… under "Academic skills" so you can hover over the others.
(And I fear I am distracting from @ChrisMayLA6 key point: the mental health crisis among our youth. Though IMHO their education certainly is a factor)
@jeroen fow completeness here's the graph but showing all the countries labels, not just every other one, on the X-axis.
I assume the version with only every other country label shown was taken from an excel spreadsheet graph of the data, where it is possible to make this sort of mistake, and not just a screenshot from the unicef report.

Not only does Spain keep trading with Israel (although I suppose the amount of trade is decreasing), but a big part of that trade is weapons.
