Europeans now cycle more and eat less meat. Rural areas are populated by fewer cows on the ground and more electric cables overhead. Not a single coal miner is left in the EU, but green manufacturing jobs are booming. In short, a 90 percent cut by 2040 has required Europe to remodel its economy, alter its landscapes, and change its lifestyles.
What’s in your fridge in 2040? Probably fewer animal products.
Brussels and national governments have employed a variety of measures to nudge people toward more plant-based meals. Take a closer look at your fridge contents: Maybe there’s emissions labeling on packaging, like a Nutri-Score but for carbon intensity. Perhaps you bought those faux-meat sausages because they were cheaper than the real thing — the introduction of emissions pricing for food has driven up meat prices.
Some governments have introduced measures to halt the rise in living space for the average European as more people live alone, driving up demand for energy and materials. The new measures range from personal CO2 allowances to programs and tax incentives helping couples move into more compact housing once their kids have moved out.
As for longer-distance travel, more people are taking trains where possible. Taxation and carbon pricing have made flights more expensive, so that weekend jaunt to Ibiza, or that business trip to a conference across Europe, isn’t happening as often. https://www.politico.eu/article/your-life-2040-if-eu-climate-plan-work/
The world’s fastest drone, the XLR V3, just went from 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 1 second, faster than a Formula 1 car off the line.
Designed by Swiss engineers, the XLR V3 is a high performance FPV (First Person View) racing drone built with ultra light carbon fiber, high torque brushless motors, and cutting edge aerodynamics. It’s not just fast, it’s rewriting what’s possible in drone engineering.
This drone accelerates faster than:
✔️ An F1 car
✔️ A Tesla Plaid
✔️ Even a fighter jet on launch
Imagine what they're not showing us...
⚡️A Russian drone strike hit the car of Chief Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Wolf in Kherson, head of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine’s local chapter.
Yosef is well known for assisting SBU and Nationalists in tracking down pro Russian Ukrainians who supported Russian forces during the liberation and uses his synagogue, as a shield, to help assemble FPVs for Ukrainian forces.
1. Geopolitical & Military Tensions
Thailand–Cambodia conflict: Martial law has been declared, over 138,000 people have fled, and both sides have exchanged fire. Terrain challenges and border disputes intensify risks of prolonged conflict.
Middle East flashpoints: The Gaza conflict escalates as Israel prepares for a major offensive and new ceasefire efforts stall. Suwayda, Syria, sees Druze self-administration declared.
Russia–Ukraine talks: Zelensky confirms negotiations, but a Putin-Zelensky meeting is still seen as unlikely by the Kremlin.
ISIS strike: U.S. CENTCOM killed a senior ISIS leader and his sons in Syria.
2. Western Politics, Immigration, and Populism
UK Islamophobia sentiment: A new survey shows over 50% of Britons view Islam as incompatible with British values, potentially fueling anti-immigration politics.

Anti-migration protests: Spread ...
🇨🇦 Stefan Molyneux on X: Almost every government policy in the West is designed to prevent family formation for the native population.
📝 Roger Marques: "Could not agree more.
Housing is expensive.
Families taxed to the bone.
Prices are so high that both elements of the couple must work.
Women are incentivized to not care about having children in their prime.
Public schooling literally retards children.
The culture is profoundly anti-children.
What else?"
