@LausKati It's strange to be afraid of journalists if you're telling the truth.

If your voice held no power, they wouldn't try to silence you. -Ruth Bader Ginsburg-

@stats_feed The deficit is calculated as a percentage of GDP, but its consequences are always distributed among people.

🇵🇱 Poland Had the EU’s Second-Largest Budget Deficit in 2025 According to Eurostat: • Poland’s budget deficit reached 7.3% of GDP in 2025 • This is more than double the EU average of 3.1% • Only Romania had a higher deficit at 7.9% Key context: - Well above the EU’s 3% limit under the Stability and Growth Pact - Deficit has risen every year: 3.4% (2022) → 5.2% (2023) → 6.4% (2024) → 7.3% (2025) - Public debt at 59.7% of GDP (still below EU average), but rising fast - Driven by high defence spending, social programmes, and debt servicing costs The EU has already placed Poland under its excessive deficit procedure.

@stats_feed The real story isn’t Karen. It’s how fast a normal name can become a social label.

The name Karen, once the third most popular name in America has seen a sharp decline to 831st in 2020, due to the names association with obnoxiously entitled people.

@CartesDuMonde What is happening in Mali is not an exception. It is part of a wider geography of state weakness.

Mali 🇲🇱 Aujourd'hui, la junte Malienne est humiliée. Les groupes armés du JNIM et les mouvements armés Touaregs ont lancé des offensives sur Kidal, capitale du Nord, et sur Bamako, capitale du pays. L'allié Russe est inefficace et la junte, sclérosée, n'arrive pas à résister ⤵️ ➡️ Kidal tombé ? Le brouillard de guerre ne permet pas encore de clarifier la situation mais, les Touaregs déclarent avoir repris le contrôle de la ville. La junte n'a pas réalisé de déclaration. Si la ville tombe, c'est un revers, une humiliation, pour un régime qui avait érigé en symbole sa reprise. ➡️ Bamako attaqué Capitale du pays, la ville était déjà depuis plusieurs mois asphyxiée par des blocus sur ses flux de pétrole est désormais attaqué. Les groupes terroristes ont réussi à attaquer des casernes au sein même de la ville. ➡️ Offensive généralisée Au-delà de ces 2 villes, c'est également Gao, Kati et d'autres villes qui ont été attaqués. Nous observons la lente chute d'un régime qui ne peut pas gagner, qui ne peut que faire durer plus longtemps sa lente agonie. Mais, le jour où la junte du Mali tombera, le Burkina Faso suivra peu de temps après.

@stats_feed The biggest climate story isn’t just who pollutes most - it’s who still makes money from carbon.

@MichaelAArouet Civilizations don’t die only from invasion. Sometimes they just stop reproducing.

European & Asian countries are heading towards fertility rates of 1.0 or below Within just two generations, their population will drop by 75%. This is the biggest demographic crisis ever, with severe impact on wealth, pensions, healthcare & real estate Why are we so complacent?

@muh_pit @MichaelAArouet Before “better ideas,” define the variable: is this about population size or about how efficiently it’s used?

@MichaelAArouet @Mapthos You got a better idea? Let’s hear it!

Dear Germans, I have some bad news for you. You do not have enough children to pay for your pensions and healthcare, and one third of those you do have are on a straight path to permanent welfare. Good luck with your future.
