  Is it a good idea to develop drugs in a for-profit market approach, if it means that life-saving drugs are not available to everyone, who needs them? #health #healthcare #economy #economics #capitalism https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c60qx4v825glo

  Climate change denial is evolving. Now that global warming is too obvious to be deniable, we are meant to embrace the change that allegedly did not exist until very recently... Actually, it would be much better to stop producing greenhouse gases... #globalwarming #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #ClimateCrisis https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/05/murderous-heat-climate-disaster-mediterranean-life-radical-right

  Constantly changing leaders is a denial of reality. Nobody will come in and make milk and honey flow immediately without effort. We will have to accept inconvenient news, be prepared to compromise, and provide support to those, who need it most. #democracy https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgepqxj30pqo

  Fabricated citations, a clear sign of a poor incentive system in academia. If I only had an idea of a better one... This is something that needs to be seriously discussed. #Academia https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(26)00603-3/fulltext

  We should not discuss so much about individuals and about strategies to win elections. We should discuss about how we want to live and how we get there. We should discuss about real solutions, not about what you need to promise to get into power. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr7pz99l370o

  We are getting this wrong. We should earnestly discuss how we want to live and how we can get there, not personalities and strategies to win elections. If we want real solutions, we cannot just go for everyone who tells us what we want to hear. #politics #democracy https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3r2pr95yq0o

  In the middle of a moral panic about the use of #smartphones (in particular by children and adolescents), it may be nice to hear and a helpful reality check that there are no indications that people's attention spans might be decreasing... https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01407-w

  We really do not have our priorities in order, if we cannot organise reliable drug supplies for those, who depend on it. How can we as societies be so unkind and negligent? #health #economics #economy #capitalism https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c202jqn3jzro

  Obviously, these PR promises for cosmetics are misleading and never backed by proper research, only by studies that would not stand any peer review. Terms like "clinically proven" should be banned, because they are oxymorons. #health #beautyindustry https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c78kl05en7po

  A cryptocurrency billionaire donates tens of million pounds to Nigel Farage and reform, who promotes his cryptocurrency... Well, that should exemplify why parties should not be allowed to receive any donations in a democracy. Naturally, the billionair is another Brexiteer and British patriot, who pays his taxes somewhere else... You could not make it up... #democracy https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/apr/25/christopher-harborne-mystery-billionaire-bankrolling-reform-uk-nigel-farage

  #SocialMedia provide a novel, unprecedented opportunity to connect across the world, to get to know and understand each other, to widen our horizon, to learn from each other and to challenge our established views. Ironically, we just yell at each other without listening...

  An article worth reading. Right wing politicians and parties may benefit from genuine dissatisfaction, but offer no solutions. At best, they just fail to keep their promises. At worst, they start a spiral of violence ending in decline and catastrophe. #democracy #Fascism #populism #rightwing #politics https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/apr/18/the-impossible-promise-are-we-witnessing-the-return-of-fascism

  @elettrona @leavex Agreed, I am also not seriously supporting any bans. I am for education. Luddites never win, and technological progress holds so much promise for a better life, if we use the possibilities appropriately. For example, we could ensure that all contents are accessible to everyone. This is easier than ever before, we will just have to do it...

  No, it couldn't. This is a clickbait headline telling people what they like to hear, but that is not even supported by the article. Alcohol is never healthy. People can make their own choices, but should not fool themselves. Poor #sciencecommunication from a source that should know better. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvglqw709k1o
