This is how a banana republic rolls — imagine, just imagine, the fun at $18 an hour, and the commute, since this is a rural coastal area. Imagine $19 to be a teacher. Imagine!

“Any situation in which some men prevent others from engaging in the process of inquiry is one of violence;… to alienate humans from their own decision making is to change them into objects.” —Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation?” —Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“Dialogue requires an intense faith in humankind, faith in their power to make and remake, to create and re-create, faith in their vocation to be more fully human.” —Pedagogy of the Oppressed

Gaza had educational justice. Now the genocide has wiped that out, too.

For the first time in many years, education in Gaza is only accessible to the well-to-do.

Jews: Newly surfaced videos show Israeli forces carrying out heavy carpet bombing on Tehran, causing multiple powerful explosions across the Iranian capital.

Look at the fucking comments over at Texas Rachel’s Podcast. They are believing Iran is winning. Fucking A, and then I have a fucking Brit telling me to “sling my hook.” Fucking BRITS.

IRAN, HEZBOLLAH LAUNCH UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK ON ISRAEL + NATO DEFENSES SHOOT DOWN MISSILE OVER TURKEY

For the first time, Iran and Hezbollah are launching simultaneous attacks on Israel, as they continue to work to wear down the fleeting supply of air defense interceptors of the U.S. and its allies in the region…

There is something very very wrong here with this Texas woman:

What a win: “Tehran an ‘apocalypse’ of hospitals in flames and children buried beneath rubble”.

“American and Israeli aircraft bombed hospitals, residential buildings and schools across Tehran on Tuesday in what residents described as ‘an apocalypse’” adding, “Millions of civilians are trapped under relentless bombardment as food and medical supplies dwindle and the death toll mounts.”

More of the Cuntology of Cunt-ree jumpers. Where was she fucking born?

U.S. first lady Melania Trump presided over a U.N. Security Council meeting on Monday focusing on children in conflict, one of her signature issues, and acknowledged she was doing so in “challenging times” as the United States has joined Israel in attacking Iran.

“The U.S. stands with all of the children throughout the world,” she said, speaking generally and not specifically about the new war in the Middle East. “I hope soon peace will be yours.”

No no no, it can’t be, the first lady, a woman of the night, an escort, a prostitute?

Yeah, trying that when an ACAB comes to your house about a fucking car mirror you accidentally hit while bicycling, and well, just took off.

Yeah, the end of dams for hydropower:

  • Studies warn that climate change could slash hydropower generation across the Amazon by up to 40%, with controversial Belo Monte among the most exposed plants in Brazil.
  • Researchers and regulators say relying on historical river flows is no longer viable as droughts intensify and rainfall patterns drop.
  • Belo Monte’s operator argues the plant remains strategic for Brazil’s energy security, despite growing climate risks.

See All Key Ideas

Brazil’s largest Amazon hydropower plants are becoming increasingly vulnerable to climate change, and Belo Monte may be the clearest warning sign yet. Built on the Xingu River after years of debate over its environmental impacts and the reliability of its energy output, the mega-dam is facing a problem its planners could not solve with engineering: less water.

You want fucking good news?

Sea levels around the world have been underestimated due to inaccurate modelling, with research suggesting ocean levels are far higher than previously understood.

The finding could significantly affect assessments of the future impacts of global heating and the effects on coastal settlements.

Globally, the research found ocean levels are an average of 30cm higher than previously believed, but in some areas of the global south, including south-east Asia and the Indo-Pacific, they may be 100-150cm higher than previously thought.

Rising sea levels are a major threat to coastal communities across the world, and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that by 2100, levels may rise by 28-100cm.

Oh yeah, what’s that Rachel and Ritter et al about Russia winning?

  • The German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, in Washington for talks with Donald Trump, said he stressed that Ukraine should not have to accept further territorial concessions during his conversation with the US president. He said he also underscored the need for continued support for Ukraine, which last week marked the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion. “We all want to see this war coming to an end as soon as possible. But Ukraine has to preserve its territory and their security interests,” Merz said at the start of his third visit to the Oval Office. He told reporters he thought Trump had understood the point after he showed him a map of the war-torn country.
  • Trump ensured Merz that negotiating a deal to end the war between Russia and Ukraine remained “very high” on his priority list, and said he believed the US had plenty of munitions to fight Iran and sell them to Europe for use in Ukraine.
  • Merz also urged Trump to put pressure on Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine. “Russia is playing for time here, and in doing so is also acting against the will of the American president. In today’s talks, I called for increasing the pressure on Moscow,” the German chancellor told reporters. The US, Russia and Ukraine are taking part in trilateral talks aimed at securing a peace deal. Merz, however, said only a pact supported by Europe could be lasting. “We are not prepared to accept an agreement that is negotiated over our heads,” he said.
  • A suspected Russian “shadow fleet” oil tanker seized by Belgium is being held on a €10m ($12m) bond, after inspections revealed infractions, Brussels said on Tuesday. The Ethera, which Belgium alleges is part of a flotilla of ageing vessels Moscow uses to avoid western sanctions, was seized by Belgian special forces in the North Sea on Sunday. Investigations carried out after it was brought to the port of Zeebrugge confirmed it had been sailing under a false Guinean flag, the Belgian government said. In total inspectors found 45 infractions, including technical defects, leading to the ship being impounded, it added. The tanker’s Russian captain and its 20-strong crew were ordered to remain on board. “The ship will only leave the port once it is compliant and the deposit has been paid,” said Belgium’s mobility minister, Jean-Luc Crucke. Russia has previously described the seizure of its tankers and other vessels carrying its cargoes as acts of piracy.
  • The US has deployed a low-cost combat drone in Iran modelled on the Iranian Shahed, as it pushes to accelerate weapons programmes because the Ukraine war. The Low-Cost Uncrewed Combat Attack System (Lucas) drone was deployed just eight months after its Pentagon unveiling. Defence officials said the compressed timeline reflected lessons learned from observing drone warfare in Ukraine, where both sides have employed thousands of low-cost unmanned systems.
  • The European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, and the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, discussed the Druzhba pipeline, which is at the centre of a dispute with Hungary and Slovakia and has held up approval of a €90bn EU loan to Kyiv. A commission spokesperson said the two leaders had discussed the matter during a call but could not share any details of the conversation. Earlier von der Leyen said on X that they had discussed topics including the loan, sanctions on Russia and “the wider impact of the developments in the Middle East on energy prices, on energy security and on availability of badly needed defence materials”.

Looks like something Pedophile and Rapist in Chief is itching for: Myanmar’s junta announced the launch of a sweeping fuel rationing system for private vehicles on Wednesday, blaming disruptions to the global energy supply chain caused by escalating hostilities in the ​Middle East.

The country’s National Defence and Security Council (NDSC) said the new regulations, effective ‌March 7, 2026, were a response to “global political situations” and armed conflicts in the Middle East, which have obstructed oil shipments.

Good old Norman Rockwell Days.

Oh, this will work out for the banks, real estate companies and management firms: America has a housing affordability crisis. Building houses for rent can help.

About 7% of new single-family houses hitting the market are now for rent, not sale. More than 10 times as many “build-to-rent” homes were completed in the U.S. in 2024 as compared with a decade earlier.

Many of these are being constructed by firms that specialize in build-to-rent housing, like NexMetro, which develops and owns single-family rental homes in the Sun Belt, a hot market for these properties. That’s where populations are growing and there’s plenty of land. Ohio and Utah have also seen a boom.

From cubicles to kitchens: How empty offices are becoming homes

When NexMetro CEO Josh Hartmann started building these houses in 2009, in the aftermath of the financial crisis, he expected to get homeowners who had faced foreclosure and could no longer afford owning but still wanted the same home lifestyle.

Instead, Hartmann said most of his residents have been young professionals, who were more likely to be pet owners than parents. Many wanted to live in a single-family home but either were not ready or were uninterested in homeownership.

We are working hard in America —

University of South Florida Optical Oceanography Lab’s Sargassum Watch System (SaWS) is reporting record high levels of sargassum across parts of the Caribbean. This includes areas in the western and eastern Caribbean as well as the western Atlantic and Gulf, including some Florida beaches.

Who needs data centers in space when they can float offshore? The power crunch for AI data centers has gotten so severe that people — not just Elon Musk — are talking about launching servers into space so they can access solar power 24/7.

One startup thinks the ocean is a better place for them. Offshore wind developer Aikido is planning to submerge a 100-kilowatt demonstration data center off the coast of Norway this year. The small unit will live in the submerged pods of a floating offshore wind turbine.
