For perspective, this is me standing next to a Shahed drone, one of the attack drones that Russia throws at Ukraine each day, sometimes by the hundreds, oftentimes by the dozens, both in frontline areas and on civilian infrastructure in the rear. They can carry up to 90 kilos of explosives.

Die absolute Inkompetenz des Berliner Senats, die Räumung der Gehwege von Eis sicherzustellen, ist unfassbar.
Die Gehwege in meinem Bezirk sind SEIT WOCHEN unbegehbar. Heute sah ich ältere Menschen, die sich an Zäunen, Bäumen und Mauern festhielten, um sicher zu gehen.

Hey everyone in Berlin just setting off for work.
You will have learnt in the last couple of weeks to walk on snow to gain some friction.
Today there's a layer of ice on top of the snow.
I found landing heel first on higher snow piles helped crack it and give a foothold. Be careful tho.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

“I do not think that 50 year old men should be having sex with 16 year old girls. But “
This level of apologia (from Megan McArdle in a podcast with Josh Barro and Ross Douthat) is fucking appalling. Idk what else there is to say.

One of the joys of winter — being able to photograph this worker statue “honking” the TV tower’s “disco ball” — has been taken from us by the new tower being built on top of the Galerie Kaufhof.

this is simultaneously much more than i expected and not nearly enough. IF the Reps abided by this it would make things LESS awful but i just don't see why we'd expect them to abide by any agreement they make once they have cash in hand

ICE at the polls! Bannon is basically yelling “fire” in a crowded theater here. His objective is to cause chaos (and suppress votes on the left). And it’s already working.
This threat works on multiple levels and doesn’t have to be “real” to serve its purpose.
Let me explain & offer some advice.

It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.

Stop obsessing about protein and pay attention to fiber and resistant starch.
Nutrition experts say that resistant starch is one of the best things for your gut microbiome.
That’s because it gets converted into compounds that reduce inflammation, lower your risk of chronic diseases and more.
