Nearly everyone in Indonesia (99%), as well as the vast majority of people in Kenya (94%), India (85%) and South Africa (80%), say it’s necessary to believe in God to be moral.  By contrast, in about a dozen countries, two-thirds of adults or more say it’s not necessary to believe in God to be moral. This includes the United States (68%), Poland (80%), Spain (84%) and Sweden (89%).  In some countries – including the U.S. – declining shares of people say it’s necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values, according to the survey.

Your logical fallacy is black or white You presented two alternative states as the only possibilities, when in fact more possibilities exist.

In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28.

Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier.

Europe reels from Epstein revelations, stripping titles from royals and probing ex-leaders. America shields Trump, Bannon, Musk in defiant silence, elites untouched as victims' scars pulse unseen. #EpsteinFiles

We cannot ask survivors to speak out about sexual violence while simultaneously punishing them for it. We cannot hold survivors responsible for their own justice while refusing to give it to them. We cannot expect survivors to come forward while making it impossible for them to do so.

Note from the editors:

ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. 

The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement.

The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

Harvesting the Large Salad Table
Harvesting the Large Salad Table YouTube video by The Salad Table

I had mixed success with my root vegetables in hydroponics... the garlic did really well early then rotted. The carrots worked really well but grew as well as they could in the little baskets... ended up eating them before maturity.

This video gives you an idea...

Top back: tomatoes either side, snow peas centre
Top front: lettuce
Mid back: pak choi, garlic
Mid front: pak choi, dill, coriander
Bot back and front: mix of cauliflower and broccoli (although these outgrew the root system space and ultimately got eaten by cabbage moths.)
