#MikeJohnson (Speaker of the House) claims he was chosen by God.
I am serious
(is not a joke)
watch the video
BTW
the motto 'In God we trust'
that you can see written behind the fanatic
is NOT the TRUE motto of the #United#States
It was was adopted ONLY in 1956
To create a contrast with #RUSSIA
(the Enemy of America so loved today by the #MAGAs)
who were unbelievers.
Previously the motto was
>E pluribus unum<
(much more beautiful and of profound meaning)
It would be good to reinstate it
Unlike other #nuclear#states , #France has chosen to reprocess its nuclear #waste on a massive scale, first at La Hague and then partly in... #Russia .While this saves 20% of #natural#uranium in #French nuclear #power#plants ,the #choice is politically highly questionable, since not only has it already accumulated 100 tonnes of #plutonium stored in France, which represents an enormous #risk , but it also contributes to financing the #Russian#state and, consequently, its #war in #Ukraine .
Fads and trends and novelties aren’t anything new. The speed and prevalence that they spread today has been propelled because of TikTok and YouTubers and other “social media” either specifically promoting things or generating content in order to capitalize on existing trends. So, when you search the internet or YT for “Stanley Tumbler” because you want to know why it’s a thing, content creators can make money off of your curiosity.
Consumerism is certainly a big part of this but there’s also something driving us to want to belong to (or not be left out of) a group/trend. And Capitalism is right there hovering over us waiting to take advantage of it and spread the story even further for their own gain.
It’s an obvious formula. If you’re not in favor of it, how do you propose we deal with it?
Edit: I don’t want to speak badly against reusable containers though. This particular one isn’t my “cup of tea”, so to speak, but refilling a container with (filtered) tap water is vastly better than getting a case of single-use plastic water bottles from the grocery store. The thing is, I don’t know why but I feel like the same people collecting these tumblers are the same people who buy bottled water. Consumerism / capitalism / marketing have convinced a lot of Americans that tap water is gross or dangerous. Granted, Flint Michigan and articles like this haven’t helped tap water’s reputation.
What I found interesting here was #SamualJefferson said "In #Germany, #hospital#doctors...are given considerable financial incentives to offer superfluous or extraneous treatments, which may put patients at unnecessary risk but boost hospital finances."
Same as the #USA#privatehealth system then.
Our #NHS is so precious & I hope we never return to health depending on how much money you have. Having lived in the #States, I've seen how that destroys lives. #SaveOurNHS
In Walled States, Waning Sovereignty , Wendy Brown reflects on the proliferation of nation-state walls in a time of eroded nation-state sovereignty and intensifying transnational powers unleashed by globalization.
How do walls shore up an imago of sovereign statehood and to what extent do they fortify reactionary national imaginaries? What do the new walls perform symbolically, materially, mentally?
Cyber Mercenaries explores the secretive relationships between states and hackers. As cyberspace has emerged as the new frontier for geopolitics, states have become entrepreneurial in their sponsorship, deployment, and exploitation of hackers as proxies to project power.
I printed out today's devious xkcd comic ("Label the States") for my wife and kids, and they spent a good 15 minutes working on them, saying things like “There’s a South Virginia?” before figuring it out. https://xkcd.com/2868/
The #WhiteHouse on Wed announced a new plan to assist states in curbing #GunViolence, turning the attention to the local level w/the hope of further federal #GunControl legislation fading.

"A handful of purple and red states are poised to be the next battlegrounds in the abortion rights fight after advocates won a major victory in Ohio this month...Abortion rights advocates are now looking to amend state constitutions in states such as Nevada, Arizona and Florida in an effort to establish or strengthen existing abortion protections..."
