In the USA there's now bipartisan acceptance that "steaks cost almost 17% more than a year ago" ,[1] 60 % of shoppers buy less beef,[2] 37 % consider plant-based substitutes[3] but not clear how many would simply increase e.g. pulses or go fully #vegan. Prices of lentils are down[4] and production of pulses is expected to go up.[5]

The USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Acreage report, released on June 30, 2025, forecasts another year of expanded plantings for pulses (dry beans, chickpeas, lentils, and dry peas) and continued contraction for potatoes—mirroring trends highlighted in the July 2024 Outlook. However, the pace and pattern of change has shifted. Lentils,…

Worldwide, sales of new cars with a fossil fuel combustion engine dropped to the level of 2004, by 2024. And sales of new cars that use fossil fuels (100% or partially, in hybrids) dropped to the level of 2012. EVs are on the march.

Was just having a conversation with someone about how "50%" of the country voted for Trump and in reminding them it's way less took the time to look up the numbers. In 2024 Trump got 77.3 million votes in a country of 340.1 million people. That's 22.7% of the people. ~21.5% of the people are under age 18, so 263.6 million adults. Trump got the vote of 29.3% of them. Some of those adults aren't eligible to vote, but when discussing social dynamics, they matter just as much, as do kids... Even of the people who voted for Trump, many were not at all MAGA fanatics (even if they at minimum had a seriously warped worldview and dangerous politics of one kind or another).
The truth is, almost no president has ever had a huge popular mandate, because our society is engineered to let a minority political class retain most of the power while giving the illusion of influence to the masses.

Also, why only one set of choices for who I’m voting for? Have Reform forgotten that in a Scottish election you have two votes (constituency and list)?

A survey asking who I voted for at Westminster 2024 / who I’ll vote for in Holyrood 2026, and which issues are most important to me: Scotland’s NHS, Cost of living crisis, Mass immigration, High energy prices, Scottish education standards, Rising crime, Fishing and farming, North Sea oil and gas, Attacks on free speech, Independence.

Morning hike in the Lechtal Alps (October 2024)
We seemingly had the valley all to ourselves, for the first few hours the valley floor still mostly frozen with crunchy hoarfrost until the sun was high enough in the sky. The cirque at the end of the valley already completely in deep winter. These transitions (often within just a few minutes) are so magical and unique to mountain regions...
#FootpathFriday

A path in an alpine valley leading into the distance towards a group of trees. On the right, steep sunlit slopes are rising up towards sharp mountain peaks dusted with snow. Gray, semi-overcast sky. It's still early morning and so the valley floor is still all in shade.

Jede Woche intensiv ein Album hören, so wie als Jugendlicher, wo ein Album bis zum nächsten Taschengeld reichen musste.

Gekauft insbesondere, weil auf den meisten Tracks Annika Nilles am Schlagzeug zu hören ist. Von deren Musik und Schlagzeugarbeit ich schon eine ganze Weile lang kaum genug kriegen kann.
