I also remember this segment in which he said that he found the book was better than the previous published articles (which were to be turned into a book), even tho his criticism was based on them, not the book itself.
The problem is
The problem is capitalism with its embedded goal of growing profit. It took capitalists some time and a lot of propaganda to convince people to shift to single-use plastics instead of reusable containers (i.e. glass bottles for milk). It is not profitable for this ~~economic~~ wasteful system of production to change back, and it doesn't need to, because this system is backed by governments all over the world. So, the solution can only come from a systemic change.
I think you are right. I just edited the title. Thanks for the input!
She is banned but there is an appeal in place. The court's decision on this appeal will be issued in 2026, so before the next french elections.
To my understanding, yes. They are talking specifically about rattlesnakes and their venom, and a possible paradigm shift in general.
As it says in the article:
Rather than developing more complex toxins for a wide variety of potential prey, as the researchers assumed, the rattlesnakes were instead producing simpler venoms containing fewer and more focused venoms.
We expected that snakes in areas with more biodiversity would have more complex venoms because they’re eating more of that available diversity.
We initially hypothesized that the larger islands would be associated with more complex venoms, however we found the opposite pattern.
Edit: Several stuff to make things clearer
Yes, you are right. In Oct 2023 they said they won't do military business with Israel. But in 2025:
However, on April 17 as Spaniards geared up for the Easter holiday weekend, the government filed paperwork confirming the deal on the government tenders website. The purchase, worth 6.6 million euros ($7.53 million), includes the acquisition of more than 15 million 9-mm rounds from Israel's IMI Systems, owned by Elbit Systems (ESLT.TA), opens new tab and represented in Spain by Guardian LTD Israel.
It's only only after ~~pressure~~ threats that the government decided to do as they had pledged in 2023:
The decision drew a sharp rebuke on Wednesday from coalition partner Sumar, with one of the groups within Sumar, Izquierda Unida, threatening to withdraw from the minority coalition government.
This is not exactly what you asked for, but it's the closest thing I can think of. The Forensic Architecture site has some accurate info for Gaza, Palestine but they date back to 2024. Still, I think it's worth keeping an eye out for any new investigation they might do.
Not too sure how effective this is tho, as a solution.
It seems to me like a diplomatic escalation in the sense that banning the Russian ambassador from attending this commemoration event gives Putin something to instrumentalise anyways, at least for internal consumption. In the same time this move does not apply any kind of actual pressure on Russia. So I honestly don't know what good can come out of this move.
Well, the extreme weather events are already taking place. The point for me is that we should stop them before they do more damage. And they should pay to mitigate the damage they already caused.
I believe your comment was clearly about the outlet. I just took the opportunity to say where I stand on this topic, as well.
I think I just understood our main point of difference. Maybe.
For me, the problems in the middle-east / West Asia for example, have been created due to colonialism. More specifically, because eurpean colonisers carved up the area when the Ottoman Empire started to crumble. In a way, I look further back in time to find the root cause, which is not that long ago, if you think about it. Btw, I also consider the US power-house as a problem that derived from european colonialism. Similarly, Australia and Canada even if they don't seem to have the US power ambitions on global geopolitics.
This is why I also see migration as such a difficult issue, but as you might have noticed I didn't talk about solutions. The prosperity of western societies was created and is maintained due to the exhaustive exploitation of other parts of the world. I believe before the west addresses that, there can be no solutions, and and-aid legislation (best case scenario that is) cannot help the healing of such deep wounds.
I understand and I appreciate your effort to start a discourse on topics that preoccupy so many people, me included.
Still, I am quite confused by your take, because on one hand it is too vague. On the other hand it lacks any historicity or actual context (I understand this through your use of terms like: collective, democracy, capitalism, communism etc).
So I would invite you to take a look at some resources you can find in this community's About section. Perhaps, anarchism and social ecology, would be great starting points, but there are plenty of links, so you can just choose where you would like to start from.
Some more links you might find interesting come from the instance itself and are on the main page:

And I totally hope you enjoy!
