Western Europe lived through hottest June and July ever recorded

Climate change across Western Europe has brought a summer of heat, drought and wildfires to the region and put the combined average temperature from June through July at 21.62C – beating the 2022 record for the same period, the EU's global warming monitor said Monday.

PS: Mastodon has a clever algorithm to ensure that you are not overwhelmed by seeing the same toot in your timeline.

Just an observation:

Most toots by people whom I follow, I do not see from their posts, but due to BOOSTS or QUOTES by other people I follow.

Remember: On Mastodon, WE are the algorithm.

Huisartsen laten zien dat het kan, en stoppen grotendeels met Big Tech, zelfs met Microsoft Windows! Hulde! ♥️🥳

Treurig om te zien dat ze nog ergens een device met Windows in de lucht moeten houden voor hun interactie met ziekenhuizen. De Zorg-ID applicatie zou niet alleen voor Windows moeten werken. Misschien dat dit tijdelijk met emulatiesoftware onder Linux kan worden getackled, maar duurzamer worden er zsm clients voor andere besturingssystemen aangeboden.

I assume that this applies to most countries: the fiscal fraud is magnitudes larger than any social fraud.

So where will politicians emphasise anti-fraud efforts?

Where is the highest return on fraud prevention?
The best results for their tax-paying citizens?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated an alleged quote attributed to a senior Iranian commander about Tehran's determination to develop nuclear weapons, even though the statement had no identified primary source and was later traced to an Indian pro-Israel account on X.

An investigation [..] found that Netanyahu used the alleged quote, in an official address to warn Israelis about Iran's nuclear plans.

Japan ramen shops keep a solid steel egg in boiling water and drop it straight into your bowl if the broth cools to get instant heat.

🔴 A defense contractor is now selling technology that scans every electronic device in your car as you drive past a camera. It ties everything to your license plate. You cannot opt out.

It is called SignalTrace. Made by Leonardo, an Italian military contractor with existing U.S. Special Operations Command contracts. It sweeps your phone, smartwatch, Bluetooth headphones, your dog's RFID chip, tire pressure sensors, your car's infotainment system. Anything that broadcasts.

It bundles these into what Leonardo calls your "electronic fingerprint," timestamped and geotagged. Stored in an "Enterprise Operations Center for future queries and analysis."

Those are their words. Not mine.

You did not consent. You cannot opt out. Your devices broadcast by existing. In most places, this is perfectly legal.

If this sounds like something that will be abused: it already has been. Police have used existing license plate reader networks to stalk partners, verify school residency, run background checks, and monitor protests. At least 22 officers charged or resigned for ALPR stalking.

SignalTrace does not read your messages. It does not need to. It knows who you travel with, where you go, and when.

Denise Spellberg’s “Thomas Jefferson’s Qur’an” traces how Jefferson bought a Quran in 1765 and used it to think about plurality and civil rights—arguing Muslims should be included, not excluded. 📚🕌 That legacy echoes in debates about religious tolerance today. #Religion #History https://www.npr.org/2013/10/12/230503444/the-surprising-story-of-thomas-jeffersons-quran

Leaders of the Democrat Party: We need to listen to Independents and Republicans, build bridges, and find compromise to unite our nation.

Leaders of the GOP: Democrats are radicals who want to destroy America, and we must fight their hateful ideology.

Americans: But both parties are the same!

I have been a faithful Lyft user for years but after having to wait 15 to 20 minutes rides here in Vegas, I started taking taxis. And I gotta say they have upped their game, new clean cars, quiet drivers, credit card machines in every vehicle that work. And they are right there waiting for you.

Do good things and talk about them. And if good things are done to you, for you, around you, also talk about then.

Because knowing may inspire others. Because folks feel lonely and caught in endless doom. Because we sometimes need a push to do something: it's easier if we know there is someone else, even of they are just a voice on the little screen in our pockets. Because we need to combat the negativity bias.

I had a hospital visit where they gave me two options.

Pay $500 out of pocket or bill my insurance.

I told them to bill my insurance.

They billed my insurance $20,000.

Very normal healthcare system.

The 'S' word.

Mooie fact sheet over de Nederlandse landbouw. Er is nog een en ander nodig om de sector op de rit te krijgen.

From the same article:

As long as the oligarchy is in control:
government will dole out even more subsidies, bailouts, and loans to big corporations, and it will continue to eliminate protections for consumers, workers.

They’re stoking racial resentments, describing human beings as illegal aliens, fueling hatred of immigrants, and spreading fears of communists and socialists.

TO DISTRACT Americans from how the oligarchy is looting the nation, buying off politicians, and silencing critics.

From the same article:

- The richest 130,000 Americans and their immediate families now own as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent — 117 million — combined.

- The three richest Americans own as much as the entire bottom half of the population.

- The only other country with similarly high levels of wealth concentration is Russia.

- Unlike income or wealth, power is a zero-sum game. The more of it at the top, the less of it anywhere else
