"Jeder sollte so viel wie möglich den öffentlichen Verkehr nutzen. Wenn ich Bürgermeister wäre, würde ich den öffentlichen Verkehr kostenlos oder zu einem deutlich reduzierten Tarif anbieten, um Anreize zu schaffen. Ich würde auch die Menschen bitten, etwas langsamer zu fahren." Der IEA-Chef

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.

The Gulf states are watching their entire development model and years of diplomatic engagement to make it possible crumble before their eyes. And Israel thinks it is achieving security when in fact the landscape of destruction it's surrounding itself with is choking off any hope of a viable future.

Above all, there are no winners, only losers. Iran is left with a brutal state, a traumatized population, a decimated infrastructure and worse economy. Lebanon's best chance at a viable state in a decade is obliterated, with yet another generation of rebuilt infrastructure bombed to rubble.

Its weird, he sounds like US and the Islamic Republic should be getting along just fine

Ok on a serious note, it cannot be exaggerated how bad formalized Iranian control of the Strait is for the world. The entire global economy rests on an American guarantee of free commercial shipping. That guarantee is gone. We don’t know exactly what will happen but none of it will be good.

Bibis standing somewhat degraded, huh ?

Trump fucks up things in the middle east and since JD couldnt do anything about it he went on to fuck things up elsewhere

I don’t want to hear about brave and conflicted service members I want to hear about people sacrificing their careers to do the right thing

this stuck with me. one more point. we haven’t seen a story like this - a large chunk of the top cabinet tossing the president under the bus by talking to an elite paper - since george w bush’s 2nd term. & even then not until the final year when it was clearly a failed presidency.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

everyone carrying out orders to commit war crimes is liable under criminal law: Not only that of the US but every other of the 160+ countries that have provisions on universal jurisdiction.

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

thread for your morning coffee, after which you'll want to re-enter REM sleep for 2-3 years:

Obama`s enthusiasm, rethoric abilities, self confidence and humour, clarity of mind, all of this was effectively US soft power that deeply impressed my generation (Y). So now that most of it is gone, where the fuck is Obama ?

don't forget: weakening europe is a declared goal of the national security strategy of the US. www.bbc.com/news/article...

THE AURORA FROM SPACE

This is so, so well-articulated.

Heute wurde das über 100 Jahre alte Pasteur-Institut in Teheran zerstört. Es ist Teil des weltweiten Netzwerkes der Pasteur-Institute und stellt vorrangig wichtige Impfstoffe her, die der Iran am Weltmarkt nicht kaufen kann. Ein völlig sinnloses Kriegsverbrechen.

"eine Exekutive..., die ohne Rücksicht auf bestehende Strukturen ihre Macht durchsetzt, Misstrauen sät und die engagierte Zivilgesellschaft zum Feindbild erklärt." @meronmendel.bsky.social 👉Diese Feindbildkonstruktionen sind beängstigend u undemokratisch taz.de/Umbau-des-Pr...

good job @szde.bsky.social, super Zeitpunkt um diesen Schlächtern eine Platform zu bieten www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/iran...

End of an empire, is what this is

Die #Artemis Astronauten können es sehen: unsere Atmosphäre ist dünn wie eine Zwiebelschale. Ein hauchdünner fragiler Gasschleier, der uns vor der eisigen Kälte und Strahlung des Weltalls schützt. Nur ein Millionstel der Masse unseres Heimatplaneten. scilogs.spektrum.de/klimalounge/...

Das fuckt mich ab. Wir lassen es zu dass Engagement gg Nazis Schraube für Schraube entfernt wird, und es braucht nicht mal AfD & Konsorten dafür. Die Aktionen sind dabei breitflächig gegen alle Säulen der Gemeinschaft offen koordiniert (Merz - Weimer - Prien) gg. Integration - Kultur - Bildung.

In Deutschland ist kaum noch etwas sicher, das antidemokratische Strukturen und vor allem den Rechtsextremismus bekämpft. Auf allen Ebenen werden die finanziellen Grundlagen für Kultur- & Bildungsarbeit politisch zerstört. Das ist nicht mehr "vorautoritär" – wir sind schon mittendrin.

KEIN APRILSCHERZ

Trump, Netanjahu und ihre Schergen besudeln USA und Israel und es ist ihnen egal 😠 #Machtmissbrauch 🔥 Gutachten der wissenschaftlichen Dienste: Iran-Krieg laut Bundestags-Experten völkerrechtswidrig "Wissenschaftler im Bundestag bewerten das Vorgehen..." www.tagesschau.de/inland/bunde...

Richter und Ankläger des IStGH beim ZDF offenbar nicht mehr erwünscht. Weil: hat USA so verordnet. Unfassbar @zdfde.bsky.social Story in der SZ @niggi.bsky.social

Gestern wurde in #Israel die Ausweitung der Todesstrafe beschlossen - sie zielt ganz bewusst nur auf Palästinenser:innen ab. @medico.de Kollege Riad Othman heute Morgen im DLF-Interview dazu - und warum Recht unteilbar sein muss. www.deutschlandfunk.de/interview-mi...

Regretfully, the story about LLMs anti-polarizing people was not real.

I wrote something: sockpuppet.org/blog/2026/03...

Merz is and always has been a bullshitter. He is imitating Trump here. www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/bund...

I’m seeing close to zero reaction/conversation about this on here. This is huge news for open research on language models, especially in the US.

It would be a historical irony if NATO failed to incorporate the one country with the actual knowledge how to fight Russia, while that country goes around the globe building its own alliances. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

@szde.bsky.social wtf ?
