Margaret Sullivan: "The only way out of this hellscape is holding fast to the truth, and remembering the line from George Orwell’s 1984: 'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.'" Second that.

Wow, just wow 😳

Damn, that hits hard... 😅

🇩🇰🇺🇸 Leaked Danish defense documents reveal that the US quietly sought sensitive information on military installations, ports, and airbases in Greenland without informing Copenhagen, - Berlingske

Deswegen braucht es erneuerbare Energien, sie sind einfach billiger!

Live: At least 5,000 people have been killed during Iran's nationwide protests, official says

In 1916, the US was worried that Germany might take control of the Danish West Indies to use as a submarine base. So, Denmark sold the Danish West Indies to the USA, with the colony becoming the US Virgin Islands. In exchange, the USA acknowledged Denmark's complete sovereignty over Greenland.

That might indeed work... Rename everything in Greenland to contain Epstein. As long as trump keeps Greenland in the news it's a constant stream of Epstein's all over 😅

Satire has a _very_ hard time... 🤣

Hat sich der Lebensmittelhandel schon für die 5% „Förderung” bedankt? orf.at/stories/3417097/ Wenn schon, dann mit Preiskontrollen. Ohne sind die Preise mittelfristig mind. wieder am selben Niveau. Und mit Gegenfinanzierung wird etwas anderes auch noch teurer. Gießkannen-Verteuerung. #MwStSchmäh

'Why Europe Could Block X Over Grok Scandal But Probably Won’t' I've written a piece for @techpolicypress.bsky.social on why European regulators are unlikely to reach for the biggest hammer in their toolbox, as they seek to regain the initiative. www.techpolicy.press/why-europe-c...

A network of social media accounts posing as Scottish independence supporters has fallen silent once again, closely mirroring a fresh shutdown of internet access inside Iran.

That’s what robotaxis look like right now. Everyone keeps laughing at China, but this is exactly what a test phase looks like. Where do you think the first self‑driving cars will operate that are “good enough” to not be a nonstop meme anymore, maybe once a week at first, and later just once a month?

Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics: Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time. To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.

Time for some EU intervention! For the ppl of iran and it's also in our interests, do it @europarl.europa.eu !

Astronomers surprised by mysterious shock wave around dead star 😲 No known mechanism can fully explain our VLT's observations of the type of shock wave — called a bow shock — that a white dwarf originates as it interacts with the interstellar gas. https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2601/ 🔭 🧪

Annika Brockschmidt: "Der Soziologe Victor Ray von der University of Iowa hat das, finde ich, sehr treffend analysiert. Er sagt, wir sehen hier ein Vorgehen, das ganz typisch für autoritäre Regime ist. Da geht es also weniger darum, www.deutschlandfunkk... 1/3

"Wir können heute verbindlich sagen, dass Russland durch die Kampagne Storm-1516 versucht hat, sowohl die letzte Bundestagswahl als auch fortlaufend die inneren Angelegenheiten der BRD zu beeinflussen und zu destabilisieren." Tagesschau? Printmedien? Untergegangen. So wichtige Infos!

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

Protesters in Iran have seized two cities. Residents of Abdanan and Malekshahi have pushed out security forces and are celebrating their victory.

So geht Fahrrad, auch im Winter! Mit ein wenig übung ist Fahrrad fahren im Schnee sogar richtig lustig... Bin während der ganze HTL Zeit mit dem Rad in die Schule gefahren, Sommer wie Winter 😎

Priorities...

Impfen hilft - insbesondere Älteren. Das gilt nicht nur für die COVID-Impfung. Grippe- und (wahrscheinlich) RSV-Impfung senkt das Risiko von Herzversagen und Schlaganfällen, Impfung gegen Gürtelrose verringert das Demenz-Risiko um 20%; ähnliches gilt für die Tetanus/Diphterie/Keuchhusten-Impfung.

Aber anstatt Russland zu benennen ist natürlich immer einfacher sich irgendeine linke grupierung aus dem Hintern zu ziehen... 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Exactly 💯%!

Wir zeichnen ganz bald die neue Staffel MAITHINK X für euch auf und wollen dieses Mal über das sehr wichtige Thema ME/CFS sprechen. Hier ein Aufruf, dem ihr gerne folgen könnt, wenn ihr das mögt. Oder markiert einfach Personen, von denen ihr wisst, dass sie etwas dazu zu sagen haben. Danke euch! 🙏

Briefly about life in Yakutsk: “But really, no one needs to bomb us. We’ve already bombed ourselves here”. Large amounts of diamonds and gold are mined here, yet the region is drowning in decay and poverty.

Some professional geopolitical analysts are taking discussion by Trump and his allies about gaining control of Greenland very seriously, which I think is necessary:

I happen to know quite a bit about Venezuelan oil. TL;DR it’s hard to extract, notoriously investor-endangering, isn’t needed (global crude is oversupplied to the tune of 3.3 min bpd) and isn’t easily refined (it’s too dense so always sold at a heavy discount) www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

I'd imprison them all and suggest a prisoner exchange. Oh and strategically place prison cells near critical infra with plausible deniability and separately imprison them all over the country. US deltas are a hard enemy but only against concentrated targets and are vulnerable against death traps.

Ok that's it... satire is officially dead 🤦‍♀️

They are coming... This is also a very dangerous development, because at soon as manpower and skill is not required anymore in big numbers the help of china for RU can get a LOT bigger without noticeable increase in perceived involvement. Means, someone should fuel a RU vs China border war asap...

Former CIA station chief distills Putin's approach to Trump - Putin will understand very well what motivates Trump - his ego, his need for the spotlight - and he will play into that, like a good case officer should be able to do .. www.npr.org/transcripts/...
