13·1 day agotbh i’ll just keep using perplexity without using the browser, still firefox with ublock for me
1110·3 days agoyeah right, trump might be mental but you’re still a dictatorship
Facebook is a disaster that is happening in real time and yet
Facebook has for some reason decided I need to see a constant stream of compact, cutesy studio apartments with a variation of “this is all I need” captions.
Oh you still use it
There’s still a lot going on globally:

But I don’t expect the US to have a fun ride
This economist says there’s a 90% chance of a recession. Here’s the math.
During the 2018 trade war with China, the U.S. average tariff rate increased from 2% to 3%. Studies show that the impact on gross domestic product was between 0.25% and 0.7%.
Using the low end of the estimated impact, and Trump’s plan that at the moment calls for double-digit tariff rates, Slok says the negative impact on GDP in 2025 could be almost 4 percentage points — and that doesn’t even include the negative impact from uncertainty for consumer spending decisions and business planning.
So a 4% hit to GDP when GDP last year in the US increase by 2.8% does not sound good
I appreciate the news, but keep it realistic and well sourced. As in, link to the actual publication that makes this statement.
Yeah the post was pretty low quality, I did find this though:
Power-sector CO2 hits ‘all-time high’ in 2024 despite record growth for clean energy
tldr: power demand went up faster than renewables could be installed because of heat waves particularly in India, if it was an average year then renewables would have outpaced new demand, so on this basis renewables are still expected to outpace new demand over the next 5 years as there’s still tons of projects being implemented
tbh I’ve been complaining about India for a while now, all the gains the west is making are being undone by them
I wish more countries were helping India install more renewables, low interest loans, lending tech expertise, whatever it takes
He did get a lot of things right:
Pope Francis says Trump ‘is not a Christian,’ Trump responds
“As if I could have taken a selfie or a photo while Karadima abused me and others and Juan Barros stood by watching it all,” tweeted Barros’s most vocal accuser, Juan Carlos Cruz. “These people are truly crazy, and the pontiff talks about atonement to the victims. Nothing has changed, and his plea for forgiveness is empty.”
Wasn’t this then 6 months later:
Pope Francis begins purge at Chilean church over sex abuse scandal
Francis realized he had misjudged the Chilean situation after meeting with Cruz and reading the 2,300-page report compiled by two leading Vatican investigators about the depth of Chile’s scandal, which has devastated the credibility of the church in a once overwhelmingly Roman Catholic country in the pope’s native Latin America.
“A new day has begun in Chile’s Catholic Church!” tweeted Juan Carlos Cruz, the abuse survivor who denounced Barros for years and pressed for the Vatican to take action.
“I’m thrilled for all those who have fought to see this day,” he said. “The band of delinquent bishops … begins to disintegrate today.”

Sounds like you could maybe… forgive him… for making a mistake while attempting to cleanup the worst mess in modern catholic history?
But I’m not a catholic or religious at all
Francis was known as a liberal reformer, making headlines across the globe by permitting the blessing of same-sex couples and promoting global action on climate change.
Francis worked as a janitor and a chemical technician in the food-processing industry before entering the seminary.
He was outspoken about clergy abuse and called on the Catholic Church to “act decisively” against paedophile priests just months after his 2013 appointment.
I can’t look at this graph and say that he is well liked by any demographic
Including this one which suggests if you’re 40 or over you either haven’t heard of him or hate him
I can’t really confirm this, even in his target market (young boys) he’s not popular
1/6 is positive which leaves 5/6 who either don’t know, don’t care or don’t like him.
One in eight boys aged 6-15 (12%) say they agree with Tate’s views on women, compared to 17% of his views on masculinity and what it means to be a man, and 20% for his views on work and success.
The older we get the more unfavourable we view Tate
One of my favourites:
Louis Theroux’s View Of Andrew Tate
The solution to false masculinity is to replace it with real masculinity
The overwhelming majority of men think Tate is a dumb twat, it’s just that being a regular man doesn’t get clicks or attention in the clicks and attention economy
lmao april 1st was a few days ago now putin
thank you mitch hedberg :P
The only issue is that the Arab neighbour right next door (Saudi Arabia) is also at war and bombing the Houthis
And right next door to Yemen is Oman which is a peaceful place currently being bombed by no one
