Make no mistake, the only values the European Commission gives a single damn about are expressed in Euros and cents.
The guiding principle of the successor to the European Coal and Steel Community isn’t human rights, democracy, and the rule of law, it’s the Single Market.
How dare you even pretend to care when you are beyond silent in Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, you despicable bunch of fancy-suited hypocrites.

Because human rights aren’t optional. They’re universal.

A Trump-shaped wrecking ball swings toward a faltering United Nations
In his second term has Trump has brought down the hammer,
cutting U.S. contributions to the U.N. and scaling back U.S. involvement.

The administration’s gutting of USAID was a blow to the international humanitarian system,
which has been propped up for years by U.S. involvement.
Cindy McCain, executive director of the U.N.’s World Food Program, said her agency is having to “take food from the…

A Trump-shaped wrecking ball swings toward a faltering United Nations
As world leaders gather for UNGA, the U.N. faces malaise fueled by crises of funding and relevance, 80 years after it emerged from the ashes of World War II.

Good Morning #Canada
Before #WWII, Canada could still be considered a tiny nation in terms of our influence on world affairs. But after the conflict broke out, we contributed well beyond expectations and our navy was an example. The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) started the war with only 13 vessels, but when WWII ended, we had the 4th largest navy in the world. By 1945 the RCN had 450 ships in all, plus many smaller auxiliary units. This 1945 figure breaks down as follows: 2 cruisers, 17 destroyers, 68 frigates, 112 corvettes, 67 minesweepers, 12 escort ships, 75 Fairmile motor launches. During WWII, Canadian shipyards built a total of 4,047 naval vessels and 410 merchant ships for a grand total of 4,457 ships. The naval vessels included over 300 anti-submarine warships, as well as thousands of landing craft, escort ships, minesweepers, and tugs.

Book Review: The Name on the Wall
On the front cover it states that this is a novel. This is in fact not the case. A novel is fiction: this is history. On page 5 it reads "I haven't written a "novel" ". Fairly recent history - mainly the second world war in France, and specifically about a young man who fought for the Resistance and died young.

"This week Britain has been dragged into a baffling display of pomp and pageantry, a celebration of military might and unimaginable wealth, staged in honour of the most heinous and half-witted leader in the Western world since the Second World War"

Software supports safe, controlled detonations of aerial bombs
Time and again, unexploded aerial bombs from the Second World War need to be defused or detonated in controlled explosions. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI are working together with partners to develop models that predict fragmentation flight and simulate the underground spread of shock waves. This can help to reduce evacuation zones as well as improve forecasting of the risks to underground structures.

"Look again at this small world. This is home. The only home we’ve ever known.
Every person who has ever lived. Every story ever told. Every love, every war, every sacrifice – it has all happened here on this tiny, drifting world.
And yet, we act as if there is another waiting for us. We carve borders into the land and fight over them. We build towers of wealth while others are left to starve.
We poison the water we drink, scorch the air we breathe and tear apart the very foundation of life, driven by the hunger for more, by the illusion of control.
We hold power over each other but not over the forces that could erase us in an instant. A rock adrift in space could end it all. A wave of fire from deep within the earth could rewrite the world in a single eruption. A burst of radiation from a distant sun could silence everything we’ve built.
In the face of the universe we are fragile beyond measure. Mere passengers on a planet that owes us nothing. And yet, we fight, we kill, we burn our home as if it were replaceable.
We act as though our time here is infinite. Though history has shown us otherwise. But for now this is all we have. Out there among the countless stars, there may be other worlds. Planets where life has taken root. Where others look up and wonder if they too are alone. But they are distant beyond our reach, beyond our time.
For the foreseeable future there is no second earth, no distant rescue. This is where we stand. This is where we make our living. What happens here, what we choose to destroy, what we choose to protect will echo long after we’re gone.
Think again how small we are. how brief our time is, how easily we could vanish. A fraction of a second in the lifespan of the universe, a blink in the endless dark. And yet in this fleeting moment we are here.
We love, we create, we shape the world around us. What we do with our time matters. Because in the end everything we leave behind is what we chose to built and who we chose to be. But for now we stand together on a mote of dust."
