It’s also really something that people are really trying to parse out who restricted Ukraine’s access to internet on Elon Musk’s machines after Elon Musk broadcasted “Zelenskyy has gone too far” on the Elon Musk messaging service.

Das gemeinsame Sondierungspapier von Linken, Grünen und SPD ist ambitioniert. Viele Details müssen in den eigentlichen Koalitionsverhandlungen noch geklärt werden. Aber bei mir weckt das Papier Vorfreude. Nach dem schwarz-roten Rückwärts geht es endlich wieder voran. gruene.berlin/fileadmin/us...

Will this year's record-shattering El Niño event be the strongest in a millennium? In a new piece over at The Climate Brink I review the paleoclimate literature from tree rings and corals and argue that may well turn out to be the case:
theclimatebrink.com
The strongest El Niño in a thousand years?
Tree rings and corals both put the biggest modern El Niños at or near the top of the past millennium, and this year’s event is on track to land well above them.

This man killed Chris Hani in the hope it would trigger race riots and cause the South African government to reverse its rolling back of Apartheid. He served 29 years in jail, then deported back to his native Poland, where he is now a darling of the Polish far right and may become an MP?

Politics of Elon Musk: if you hadn't seen already, this is Anna Zeiter being literally wowed by gross propaganda from Martin Sellner's "Institute For Remigration" — a group that advocates ethnic cleansing, "the preservation of ethnocultural continuity," and spreads Great Replacement conspiracies.
Gauche and obvious propaganda for the "Institute For Remigration"'s ethnic cleansing programme, which Anna Zeiter comments on to say "Wow! It's always so powerful if you visualise data..."
