Texas flood death toll continues to rise, with at least 107 killed.

It’s been a few days now, and this story keeps getting worse.

Take note: this is what happens when emergency services are underfunded.

Parental controls on children’s devices make more harm than what they are trying to prevent.

They are usually a red flag for parents who don’t spend enough time engaging with their kids while they consume digital content, and instead just want to make sure that their kids won’t be exposed to crap while left unattended with a tablet for 2-3 hours.

They remove the need for a bidirectional discussion between parents and kids about what content is appropriate and what not, thus impairing their children’s critical abilities to do the right thing when they are on a non-restricted device.

They put the children out of the loop in parenting decisions and delegate parenting decisions to an algorithm instead, fostering a sense of grudge and perceived injustice.

And they come with the risks that you have every time you forbid something without the person on the other side understanding why - your children will feel even more thrilled when they break the rules.

Digital devices aren’t necessarily bad for kids. They can indeed be very valuable instruments for learning about the world. Every kid in the world should have an ebook reader. Just make sure that you sit next to them and you guide them when they use them.

And gradually give them more trust as they grow up. A kid who has the trust of their parents is much more likely to do the right thing than one who is given arbitrarily rules enforced by an algorithm by an absent parent.

“We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.”

The Palestinian struggle for liberation today, the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa yesterday. Nelson Mandela never doubted the connection between the two, which resonates stronger than ever today in the face of the ongoing genocide.

We invite you to join us on the 18th of July at the Mandela Husje in Amsterdam Noord to commemorate Mr.Mandela's birthday and to transform the occurrence in a symposium of collective resistance. BDS Netherlands will be attending, as we will present Apartheid Free Zone - one of our latest campaigns - to all the people joining: a call to action to all the attendees to transform their silent ties of complicity in deeds of solidarity by joining the first apartheid-free community in the Netherlands.

There will be music, spoken words, speeches, and authentic Palestinian food. Check the full program at the @mandelahuisje , who we deeply thank for the invitation.

See you there!

I am under no illusions about the likelihood that any of the recommendations below would be implemented by the current administration, but I still think it is worth reiterating the conclusions of the #PCAST 2023 working group report bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov/w… on Extreme Weather, which I was proud to be a member of. An abridged version of the main recommendations is listed below.

1.1. U.S. climate-modeling centers (supported by NOAA, NSF, DOE, and NASA) should enhance their high-resolution modeling capabilities and state-of-the-art statistical methods to quantify annual extreme weather risks.

1.2. The White House should designate a lead agency to maintain an extreme weather data portal where observations and modeling products are regularly updated and widely accessible.

2.1. Designate an interagency group to inventory and release federal data that are useful to develop and test weather-hazard models and hazard-loss models.

2.2 NOAA, FEMA, and other agencies as the President deems necessary, should develop guidelines for measuring the accuracy of weather-hazard and hazard-loss models and promote the use of skill-scoring hazards.

2.3 Fund research on risk-assessment modeling systems that use extreme weather probabilities, weather-hazard models, and hazard-loss models to quantify the likelihood and economic costs of extreme weather events.

3.1 The White House should develop and publish a National Adaptation Plan to prepare for and mitigate increased risks from extreme weather.

3.2 Fund research on the adaptation of households, real-estate and insurance
markets, and local governments to changing climate and extreme weather risk.
