Cpl Visit is a fantastic example of Pratchetts writing:
Starting with Omnians in Small Gods. A bloody and dark religion gets turned into a running joke about a man who just wants to give Sam Vimes a religious pamphlet!
Nothing more than sublime!

Congratulations Aylèn :)
Today is a day I will cherish.
It's my first international presentation, and I'm presenting my research, "Environmental Impact of Vaping Devices: A Global Approach to Sustainability." (Investigación de 2025 que se logró gracias — project/research is financially supported by the Tobacco Harm Reduction Fellowship Program, delivered by Knowledge-Action-Change @GlobalStateTHR) I'm overjoyed and excited in a way that's hard to put into words: seeing a work born of rigor, ethics, and conviction cross borders and reach a global stage.
At 2:20 PM, I'll be on the panel "Innovative Responses to Climate Change & Global Climate Policy" at the GTNF 2026 in Lisbon. There, I'll be speaking about sustainability, responsibility, and how harm reduction is also built on caring for the planet.
I hope you'll join me live and online. I want you to be with me in this moment.
Thank you for being part of this journey.

"Krig er fred", "Frihed er slaveri" og "Uvidenhed er styrke".
Jeg er stolt af at leve i et samfund, der står vagt om alle menneskers frihed til at tænke og sige, hvad de har lyst til.
Men det i sig selv betyder jo ikke, at man skal tildele de privilegier, der følger med statsborgerskab, til hvem som helst.
Der er opstået en underlig opfattelse af, at statsborgerskab fungerer som en slags offentlig ydelse, som man kan blive tildelt, hvis man lever op til nogle objektive kriterier.
Men vores grundlovsfædre var langt klogere end det.
Grundloven er fuldstændig bevidst designet til at sørge for, at vi folketingsmedlemmer skal bruge vores egen samvittighed til at bedømme, om folk er danske.
Netop fordi det handler om sindelag og ikke blot om blod, jura eller tjeklister.
Sindelagskontrol ved tildeling af statsborgerskab er således en god, grundtvigiansk og meget liberal ordning.
Et frit og åbent samfund kan jo ikke eksistere, hvis ikke borgerne støtter det i ånd og gerning.
Og et statsborgerskab er ikke – og har aldrig været – en ret.
Det er derimod et særligt privilegium, man kan gøre sig fortjent til, hvis man passer ind i vores nationale fællesskab.

This is the most hilarious, non ironic, self-defeating climate "sceptic" posting, i've ever seen.
And before you ask... No! He is not joking, he really means it.
Just in from NASA satellites: No net "global warming" in 28 years.
February 2026 was cooler than February 1998.
If every emission warms and drives more warming of the planet, how is that possible?

Trump er jo rablende.....
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

For once i don't disagree with @Wdekanter. Even a stopped clock is after all right two times a day...
And while i don't think it will be effective, fighting against a black-market is important. BUT the reason that such a black-market took off, is the irrational ban on flavors!

This really is sad news.
But unfortunately reflects the state of a lot of advocacy globally. Burn out, Lack of support, both monetary, but also largely from constituency (Who in most cases can't be blamed, being unaware that it is a fight, and someone is fighting it for them) 😭

This is so far beyond what is acceptable that i'm actually chocked.
Ich habe soeben Strafanzeige gegen den Inhaber des Restaurants Feinberg‘s wegen dieses Plakats gestellt.
Das öffentliche Billigen von bestimmten Straftaten ist verboten. Ich sehe die Voraussetzungen des § 140 Nr. 2 StGB erfüllt. Näheres muss nun die Staatsanwaltschaft prüfen.

We have all heard that "Correlation is not causation", and this is a "mis"take that many vaping is negative papers are making......
But when talking about the "gateway effect", there is NOT EVEN a correlation. It's simply a faulty "common sense" argument given by non-smokers.
Hvordan kan det være at WHO, som iøvrigt gør et glimrende arbejde på mange andre sundhedsområder,
....
Bliver ved med at lyve og vildlede omkring e-damp?
Hvordan gavner det verdensundheden, kampen mod tobak, lungecancer oma.?

Sad to see a massive force, impressive personality and an all around lovely person step down. It is going to be a loss for NNA as well as for all the rest of us in advocacy.
But health, family and life must always must be first.
And yet.... Yay! Bernice! :)
We regret to announce that @grannylouisa is stepping down as Chair of the NNA for health reasons. We would like to thank her for all her hard work on behalf of consumers and wish her well for the future.
Bernice Evans will take up the role from today. nnalliance.org/nnanews/news/…

Den del af historien om den høje Australske tobaks skat som tobakskontrol ikke fortæller politikerne. #dkpol
tl;dr
Our policies have failed; we have to do something different. Let's double down.

Does anyone have some background on this "Görke"? Is it THC vaping, can you use it in a regular e-cig, what is the street-price? (the thing that makes this doubtful, is that normally drugs are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive)
Or is this yet another scare story? #vaping #vapefam

#sundpol: Folk der bruger Panodil har større risiko for at have hovedpine.
Parodi af mange e-damp studier.
Eksempel: Folk med depression har større risko for bruge e-damp.
Er det pga. e-damp de er depressive, eller er det fordi depressive føler en eller anden lise ved damp?
