Very broad nature of the decline makes me suspect "the phones"

What is HAPPENING here? Between 2012 and 2023, it appears that average OECD reading, math and science scores have declined consistently. This is not (just) about pandemic learning loss. It’s not about one US city. It’s not even just the US. This is the entire developed world.

The reason seems to be that the proposition is wrong: veterans do not have increased suicide risk. This may seem surprising, but it's not. Their suicide rates are elevated over the general population because most of them are young White men. That group has a suicide issue.

“Our estimates imply that without GM crops, the world would have needed 3.4 percent additional cropland to keep global agricultural output at its 2019 level. We also find that bans on GM cultivation have limited the global gain from GM adoption to one-third of its potential.”

I check the news and so many outlets and people in the UK right now seem obsessed with some celebrity breakup when this is happening with increased intensification every day in a European capital city and beyond.

The period between 2015-19 saw Greece at the bottom of the Democracy Index. The challenges to the rule of law were deep + wide, but not as interesting for many foreign journalists enamored with the rise of SYRIZA to cover. Greece is definitely imperfect, but thankfully improving.

Eurostat notes:
"Of the 23 EU countries that saw a decrease in emissions, only 5 recorded a decrease in their GDP (Estonia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Finland, and Sweden), meaning *most managed to decrease emissions while growing their GDP*."

@socratesccost @jordanbpeterson The most recent research shows that climate change has caused unprecedented warming in the past 2000 years

"Problem with zealous cancellation of historical figures is that it is completely unhistorical. Do we think less of Cicero because he was a slave-owner in a slave-owning society? Or do we simply say that most historical figures must be judged in context?"

This is where I was when it happened, and I'm still for nuclear energy, because I understand trade-offs

the nuclear accident at Chernobyl happened. Due to prevailing weather patterns, Germany got a relatively large share of the radioactivity (at least compared to other countries in western Europe).
