More than 6,000 people were killed in over three days when a Sudanese paramilitary group unleashed "a wave of intense violence" in Sudan's Darfur region in late October, according to the UN. n.pr/3OtbFJv

Eesti laulu puhul oli veider kuidas räpibänd millest ma enne kuulnud polnud esitas esimesena suht lihtsa loo ja .... siis see lugu läks peaaegu iga järgmise looga järjest paremaks. Last Man standing, Slave ja Warrior olid väga head. Neli head lugu kümnest on väga vähe. 1/2

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

The greatest threat Russia presents right now is that it gains more at the negotiation table than it has achieved on the battlefield. Russia’s maximalist demands cannot be met with a minimalist response. Extract of my speech at Munich Security Conference ↓

This is some serial killer shit.

Ma olen roosalilla liberast ja esitan nüüd väga vastuolulise väite, et inimene, kes kahetseb, et ta holokaustist osa võtta ei saanud, aga samas arvab, et küll ta aeg tuleb, ei peaks linnavolikogus olema. Ma tean, ma tean, väga ootamatu ja ebatavaline värk.

“Maybe a better way to look at this is ‘people preparedness’. One way for people to be prepared (for the next pandemic) is to be healthier, eat better and exercise, so you’re less likely to get sick or have a poor outcome,” Powers added. Right. This will protect you from a novel pathogen.🤦‍♂️

OTD in 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia began. Less than a year before we signed a treaty with them promising we'd never invade. Lying we won't & then invading anyway is a tradition I maintain to this day.

Tartu volikogu liige Kris Kärner on Isamaale hea meeldetuletus iibeprobleemi tegelike põhjuste kohta. Miks Eesti naised ei leia endale sobivat partnerit ja laste isa? Miks Isamaa arvas, et enne valimisi oleks hea püksi k**ta? Korraks oli soe, aga nüüd külmal talvel on asi läinud üpris ebameeldivaks.

I’ve seen several examples recently where funding got pulled from perfectly good science because it was ‘irresponsible’ to leave money in an investment that would take 10 years to mature, when you could ‘exit’ in 18 months with AI. But like … that 10 years is how you get a safe drug. 12/10

The real problem isn’t that private equity is driving up costs, wages have stagnated, and unregulated hotel chains like AirBnB are gobbling up stock.

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)

TIL after a whole lifetime of being told about how Europeans first explored Antarctica starting in 1820 that they've found the body of an indigenous Chilean on the continent who died sometime between 1819-1825 and now I need a recount

Glacier the skunk is chowing down on an apple in her home at the Cincinnati Zoo. Until 1993, Glacier would have been in Family Mustelidae with weasels & badgers. But molecular evidence showed that her ancestors diverged 60 MYA, so she gets her own family: Mephitidae which means, roughly, "stinky."

Pete Hegseth’s attacks on Harvard aren’t really about what’s being taught there, but rather “to express the generic social anxiety and status-based resentment that drives much of the MAGA movement,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:
