Israeli Finance Minister advocates for the execution of plans to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza:"If we strategically execute our plans, there will be emigration, and we will reside in the Gaza Strip. We won't permit a scenario where 2 million people reside there. If there are 100-200 thousand Arabs in Gaza, the entire discourse about the aftermath will be altered. They wish to depart; they have been residing in the enclave for 75 years and are desperate."

"After 16,000 years of domestication, the breed began to fall from favour in the middle of the 20th century as farms were mechanised and tractors and cars replaced horses. In the 1940s, there were between 40,000 and 60,000 Garranos in Portugal. Current estimates put the total population at 1,500-3,000."

'But it seems that Biden’s support for Keynesian policies stops at the U.S. border.

"At certain political houses I frequented they still talked as though to run the British Empire were their private business. It gave me a peculiar sensation to hear it discussed, when a general election was in the air, whether Tom should have the Home Office and whether Dick would be satisfied with Ireland."

'O cavaquismo apostou nas autoestradas, o que à época se percebia dado o nosso atraso em tudo - ainda andávamos a tentar acabar a A1, entre Porto e Lisboa. Só que não houve meio termo. E assim chegamos a 2024 sem um quilómetro de ferrovia novo em funcionamento'

Why some people don’t trust science – and how to change their minds
“The messenger is every bit as important as the message. Our work confirms many prior surveys showing that politicians, for example, aren’t trusted to communicate science, whereas university professors are. This should be kept in mind”
Remember this the next time right wing media/politicians target educators, universities, education, etc.
