Quote by MEE:
“Nov 26, 2025
A new report by the UN has found the economy across occupied Palestine to be in free-fall as a result of Israel’s actions, with Gaza standing out as “the most severe economic crisis on record”.
Published on Tuesday, the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report details how two years of devastation, asset and building destruction, deaths and displacement amid freezes on Israeli fiscal transfers has “has reversed decades of socioeconomic progress” across both Gaza and the West Bank.
By the end of 2024, Palestinian GDP fell back to its 2010 level while GDP per capita returned to that of 2003, erasing 22 years of development progress in less than two years. In Gaza, two decades of severe constraints on trade, movement and access to resources have exacerbated the effects of the war, leading to Gaza’s GDP contracting by 83 percent from 2023-24. The costs of rebuilding the strip stand at an estimated $70 billion.
In the West Bank, expansion of settlements and movement restrictions “disrupt the economy, trade and investment, and reduce access to land, resources and markets”, impacting 3.3 million people. Here, the GDP contracted by 17 percent, returning to levels last recorded in 2014.
Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, took to X to highlight how Israel “has erased 69 years of human development, marking the worst economic collapse ever recorded”.“

„These same D9 bulldozer operators (…) boast about the relentless pace of their . "50 buildings a week," claimed (…) Avraham Zerbib, even crediting himself with a revision of the Israeli army's "military doctrine." On camera, some commanders openly admit to having rendered entire neighborhoods uninhabitable, to the point that Palestinians would be unable to return.“

Title: My Thumbs Hurt & My Wallet Weeps: Games Edition (aka Please Send Help I Can’t Stop)

Okay, gamers, listen UP. My brain is currently 80% caffeine, 15% late-game resource management, and 5% existential dread. So, y'know, a normal Tuesday. WHY? Because the game devs are OUT FOR BLOOD and dropping fire titles like it's going out of style. Here's the tea: * `Stardew Valley 1.6: Farming? More Like FARM-tastic, Am I Right?` Okay, so I KNOW this came out like a week ago, but if you're not already tending your digital crops and making googly eyes at your virtual spouse, WHAT are […]

Anger continued on past its usefulness becomes unjust, then dangerous... It fuels not positive activism but regression, obsession, vengeance, self-righteousness... It feeds off itself, destroying its host in the process.

Exchange rates for different forms of environmental destruction:

From ‘net zero’ to ‘net gain’. The platypus-to-possum exchange rate
"Net gain’ allows/requires the use of offsets that are not like-for-like: I can destroy some platypus habitat if someone else protects some possum habitat."

"A bureaucrat is literally going to have to develop the platypus-to-possum exchange rate. I am not kidding; a bureaucrat is going to have to develop exchange rates for different forms of environmental destruction."

“Despite entering its second month, the Gaza ceasefire agreement has failed to halt the systematic destruction of the Strip, as Israeli forces shift tactics from heavy aerial bombing to deliberate, engineered demolitions, exacerbating a devastating humanitarian crisis fueled by health and infrastructure collapse.”

(Reuters) -The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its website on Wednesday to say that claims about vaccines not causing ​autism are not "evidence-based."

Vaccine skeptic and U.S. Health and ‌Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as well as U.S. President Donald Trump have promoted ‌the theory - contrary to scientific evidence - that childhood vaccines are a cause of autism. But the CDC's website previously said "studies have shown there is no link between receiving vaccines and developing autism spectrum disorder."

Biodiversity offsets failed to protect habitat in NSW.
Now federal Labor is about to make the same mistakes, critics warn

"Offsets were meant to be a last resort for mitigating environmental damage from development projects, but rapidly became the default. An auditor general report found the government had no strategy for ensuring the offset market delivered the required environmental outcomes."

"In plain terms, development was occurring that harmed nature, money was accumulating in the fund because there were not enough offsets to compensate for that harm and species were being pushed closer to extinction."

“Turning offsets into an easy payment option flips the whole logic of environmental protection on its head."
