Obrigado à Suprema Corte e à maioria constitucional dos militares no Brasil por lembrar ao mundo o que fazer quando se perde uma eleição: Parabéns ao sucessor. Ei, Veja, que tal rotular seus sapatos com um orgulhoso "Made in Brazil"?

It's heartbreaking. I learned to ski in deep snow in the Lötschental. I spent a night in Blatten, in a Massenlager with a dozen ski tourers aiming to cross the Lötschenlücke to the Aletsch. The place was so breathtakingly picturesque. All gone. 1/2

Hey new Bundesregierung! I know *exactly where you ought to start with your electrification* 😀 #CrossBorderRail www.heise.de/news/Elektri...

What was that? Blackmail from Munich?

Energy prices and taxes are political dynamite, easily exploited by populists. The introduction of the next level of emission trading #ETS2 is the right thing to do but needs ideas how to socially balance in order to avoid the next wave of gilets jaunes: www.transportenvironment.org/articles/how...

The link between the demand for oil and defense expenditure: Every €1.00 saved on crude oil results in a €0.37 reduction in defense costs. Quite the deal! Share this information! www.ifw-kiel.de/publications... #climate #stopoil #ukrainewar

It's exactly the right time to introduce super-late CO2 limits for construction in Germany, not despite fascists being the biggest party in polls atm, but because this death cult is coming for your lunch.

Kseniia Petrova, a Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School, was detained at Logan Airport after returning from France and sent to an ICE detention in Louisiana, The Insider reports. A big critic of Putin and the war in Ukraine, she may now be deported to Russia.

Prof. Sophie Schönberger erklärt im @verfassungsblog.de, warum die Bundestagsverwaltung die kleine Anfrage der Unionsfraktion hätte zurückweisen müssen. Und macht dabei keine Gefangenen. verfassungsblog.de/anfrage-bund...

Tonight @die-linke.de party leader @vanaken.bsky.social disagreed to lift the debtbrake/ #schuldenbremse for military spending, as 🇪🇺 pays (purchase-parity adjusted) already more than 🇷🇺. Will he change his stance once he knows his numbers are outdated? www.politico.eu/article/russ...

Letzten Monat verharmlosten Merz und andere #Trump noch als "Chance" für Europa. Jetzt liefert er die #Ukraine und Europa eiskalt an Putin aus. Es ist allerhöchste Zeit, dass Europa aufhört, schlafzuwandeln, schreibt @ardenthistorian.bsky.social. www.volksverpetzer.de/analyse/boes...

Comparing the free #Mistral #LeChat with the free #OpenAI #ChatGPT by asking how to automate operations of #NPO #non-profits. Not much difference in quality so far. ChatGPT is less sceptical about self-hosting LLM and proposes using NLP for community management, LeChat seems to be way faster.

Sam Greene from the Kings College kindly wrote down my thoughts about the new situation for #europe and #ukraine : skyview.social?url=https%3A...

Alternatively #cocacola could recycle more aluminium in the US, of course. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Almost done ... after 24 hours of prompting and exhausting the tokens of my ChatCPT account. One issue is still missing and 1 more business quistion. But the beta of our 24 yo voting advice application had to come out today, we've been linked for quite some time now: www.wahltest.de/de-2025/

As dreadful as it is that centre-right #CDU 🇩🇪 today broke a promise by voting with the fascists, according to political science this move will backfire by losing voters on two sides. Xenophbes will prefer the original, Moderates and swingvoters stick to Greens or SPD. #Merz is reliably … unclever.

I think my chinese spy at #TikTok changed the algorithm for me. I had a well-curated for you page but now, as there is an upcoming election in 🇩🇪, I suddenlly get shitloads of racist content. Any TikTok users around who can confirm this?

Here are the Meta Alternatives: Bluesky instead of Threads. Pixelfed instead of Insta. Signal instead of WhatsApp and LinkeIn instead of FB. Pixelfed is Fediverse. This will be a bit more tough. The rest is easy and straightforward. Go for it!

Musk is obviously a fascist and should be treated likewise. No more airtime.

Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025: 1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it. www.theframelab.org/how-to-thriv...

The Russian far-right supports the American far-right, which supports the German far-right. This is the global alliance we need to combat.

C‘est fait! Today at a notary‘s office in Brugge🇧🇪 we finally signed the French-language deed establishing Back-on-Track Europe AISBL as an international non-profit association - to be better represented at EU level. For practical reasons founding groups were 🇧🇪🇩🇪🇨🇭&🇬🇧 others follow soon.

You may know that Georgians are not early morning people. When we start gathering at 7 AM to protest, it means we are very angry and undefeatable! #Tbilisiprotests #Georgiaprotests

Outside of the green bubble peak #energyprices are currently a hyped issue. Invested media like BILD blame the „green renewable ideology“, of course, less informed journalists copy parts of the propaganda. My interpretation of the reasons: a 🧵

😢🚈Schlechte Neuigkeiten: Der Ständerat will die Gelder für neue Nachtzüge streichen! Dies, nachdem sich der Nationalrat letzte Woche für die 30 Millionen ausgesprochen hat. Doch noch ist nichts definitiv entschieden! Teile diesen Post und zeige, wie wichtig dir Nachtzüge nach Rom und Barcelona sind.

Depends on the structure of your municipality. In less blessed Berlin the banlieu could vote for a mayor promising to restore priority for cars.

German #btw25 election battlegound seems to be opened with this funny copy* of Truss vs Lettuce used by the Left to mock the Liberals (both currently below 5% threshold): feldschlacht.de

While we are at it: When exactly does EU re-include ex-EU flights into #EUETS? Don't you think, recent acceleration of global warming, impending breakdown of #AMOC, increase of biological #methane emissions &c pp are enough motivation to use every means available to get climate forcing down?

Public broadcasting limited by competition laws, quality media content behind paywalls, but reach-optimised fake news from billionaires’ media groups are available just everywhere. Do we wonder? Pls subscribe quality media who still publish accessible for everyone @taz.de @guardian.extwitter.link

If you leave X f.k.a.Twitter, don't delete your account completely. Replace your profile pic with this. Elon will like that 😀.

32€ per saved ton of CO2, to bail out owners of shut down coal plants. Pretty cheap, actually. www.economist.com/interactive/... (Paywall)

In the aftermath of #innotrans I was interviewed on new interiors for #nighttrains. Out of six answers they picked the one about the financial challenge :-/ Anyway, most points were covered elsewhere. Good report: youtu.be/EBZ2EmwMTjQ?... (in German)

I like this number.

The state of affairs in what is strategically the most important 🇪🇺 EU railway project: TLDR: #RailBaltica 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 was cut down to one track to be built by 2030, second track postponed indefinitely to a second stage. And financing for the first stage still isn’t secured yet. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wissing wrote this before the traffic light coalition broke. It depicts a conception of politics in proportional-representative democracies that I would like to see as the rule, not the exception.

Time to get sober. Like last time, I‘ll teetotal for as long as Trump is president.

Possibly Wissing just realised that infrastructure cannot be maintained as needed under fiscal self-strangulation conditions. @jonworth.eu

Kanntet ihr diesen Olaf Scholz?
