After Hitler vowed to wipe Warsaw from the face of the earth, he came chillingly close to realizing his brutal vision. Now, a new exhibition explores how the ruined city was born anew.

The exhibition is open at the History Meeting House in Warsaw.

I’m loving this view of the Baltics by @rhodesmaps. A nice way of showing how close St Petersburg is to the Baltic states.

#Frankreich: Die Konservativen haben das Bündnis mit dem Macron-Lager gekündigt.

Rechnerisch ginge noch Rot-grün plus Macronisten

Aber: Die Grünen hatten einen linken Premier gefordert und sind verärgert.

Und: Die Sozialisten wollen eine andere Wirtschaftspolitik. Schwierig für die Macronisten.

Morgen erscheint unser Buch „Zerstörungslust“. Der @spiegelonline.bsky.social hat vorab mit @onachtwey.bsky.social & mir darüber gesprochen, warum vielen die Gesellschaft als ein Kampfplatz um knappe Ressourcen erscheint. Es war ein intensives, gutes Gespräch:

Bad news for night train lovers: 🌙 The Paris–Berlin/Vienna connection ends this December, and the Berlin–Stockholm route will follow in 2026. Politics, not passengers, are derailing Europe’s night trains. We need fair conditions & stable support for sustainable travel. 🚆💔

France’s new prime minister is…the very one who resigned on Monday, Sébastien Lecornu. It rounds off the most chaotic and absurdist week in French politics in modern times

The majority of heat related deaths in European cities this summer were caused by climate change. These figures should terrify us.

This shows us that heat plans not enough – we need strong EU climate targets to cut the emissions causing this dangerous heat.

Was für ein Quatsch: Was wäre denn mit einem Sturz von der Leyens gewonnen?

Wäre die EU ohne sie weniger durch Trump erpressbar? Nein.

Würde ihr Nachfolger (= ein deutlich konservativerer EVPler) sich mehr für den Green Deal einsetzen? Nein.

Warum sich also ein strategisches Eigentor schießen?

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Belarus rarely makes Western headlines — but it should this week.
A quiet move by the Trump administration has just handed Alexander Lukashenka, and indirectly Vladimir Putin, an unexpected gift.

Russlands Zensurbehörde will auch in Deutschland Bücher verbieten. Roskomnadsor hat die Berliner Buchhandlung Murawei.de aufgefordert, das Buch von Simon Shuster über Selenskyj aus dem Programm zu nehmen. Die Buchhandlung für russischsprachige Literatur war zuletzt Ziel von Hacker-Atacken.

Denn, so Tusk:

"The problem of Europe, the problem of Ukraine, the problem of Lithuania and Poland is not that Nord Stream 2 was blown up, but that it was built."

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Georgia’s pro-Russian rulers claim 70% landslide.

Opposition says the vote was rigged: carousel voting, double ballots, intimidation, broken machines. Tbilisi erupted in protest — riot police answered with tear gas and water cannons.

And they’re accusing “the left” of inciting violence.
