Things you believe that aren't possible
Turns out the Russians may have just lost the bones of their "St. Dmitry of the Don" while running away from the Ukrainian army. The bones were sent to the front last week to apparently "boost morale and inspire the average Russian soldier."

I'm currently in Kyiv 🇺🇦 Quite different from my first visit. Air raid alerts are constant, and you regularly hear close explosions and anti-aircraft fire throughout the day, even in the centre of the city.

Seeing the debate about converse that @lefaucheux.bsky.social had and realising that I literally know nothing about this stuff. It is fascinating how culturally bound we are.

Sehr wichtiger Thread. Dass die AfD-Wahl an der Ökonomie, der Armut, den Preisen liegt, ist in etwa so richtig wie die, dass es an einem "Ausländerproblem" liegt.

The fatal turn was Kohl’s crazily hasty “reunification”. The idea that the ex-DDR should without any preparation unite with the BRD (and thus join the EEC) was based entirely on Prussian-skewed (Treitschkean) ethno-nationalist German history (which, of course, isn’t the real story at all).

Even the Pillar should realise that the condemnation of the AfD was unanimous. So even the most conservative bishops supported this.

Yeah, totally normal to ask the most right-wing Catholic intellectual about how to understand the reaction by the Church to the AfD. The pillar keeps being the most useless outfit possible.
