"Wenn ich mich heute frage: Wo war ich vielleicht (mit) zu wenig Herzblut (dran)? Da nagt am meisten das Thema Klima." Eine sehr nachdenkliche Angela Merkel. Friedrich Merz dürfte bei diesen Worte innerlich brodeln - die Junge Union sowieso nur Verachtung aufbringen.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

This is crazy interesting: Super Nintendos are getting *faster* as the hardware ages. We spoke to the person who discovered this and has been collecting more data. They even put a SNES in the freezer to test a hypothesis www.404media.co/super-ninten...

With all political news, it's encouraging to stay strong, dedicated and even more enthusiastic than ever for keeping going rather than giving up.

Von Adenauer bis Merkel haben konservative Kanzler sich stets in den Dienst Europas gestellt. Doch Friedrich Merz ist dabei, eine Mehrheit mit erklärten EU-Feinden – mit der in Teilen gesichert rechtsextremen AfD – zu bilden. Dieses Verhalten macht Europa kaputt. youtu.be/7TAGh4PEBXY

Tell me you are in the Netherlands without telling me you are in the Netherlands. A parking garage full of double-parked rental bikes (OV-fiets) for short term renting at Groningen central station. Very convenient to get around. During the day, most of the bikes were actually rented.

Musk-Scham / Tesla-Scham Meanwhile in NL: Leasingverträge werden nicht verlängert und Unternehmen fragen sich, ob es noch vertretbar ist, einen Tesla anzubieten. Musk wird als "radical maniac" bezeichnet. Die Macht liegt beim Verbraucher, nicht nur bei Tesla, auch bei X oder FB! Wann bei uns?

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth. Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like. People underestimate the Pacific.

A picture of the earth showing the pacific ocean. You can see hawaii and New Zealand. Also the edge of antarctica, australia, and north and south america...but barely.

A person on a bicycle is by far the most energy-efficient among animals and machines per distance traveled relative to body weight. The bicycle is magic. www.jstor.org/stable/24923...

A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.
