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.

One of the authors is a friend. He documents the lives of delivery workers in Berlin and is a regular among their meetups. Gem of a person - "Do small things for people, needn't be huge or life changing. That should give hope* is his motto.

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.

I don’t just yell at the TV for football, I am also yelling at ice dancing as the Chinese pair falls twice
Ice dancing is on, I am content if feeling like garbage

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...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

The air quality in and around Berlin is so bad today, the asthma sufferers in my house are struggling. Thanks, Poland and Czechia for still using fossil fuel energy. 🤬

“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.

Why so cruel, #Berlin? Why so damn cruel?

In Hessen macht die #NoAfD übrigens Wahlkampf mit dem Plakat:
„Wir halten, was die CDU verspricht.“

Und es verschafft leider null Genugtuung, dazu zu sagen:

Told you so.

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.
Why this nutrient is great for your gut health
Resistant starch helps protect against chronic diseases and has other health benefits. Here are foods you can eat to get more of it every day.

As I said in every single letter and email I sent to your office, this isn’t good enough. “Reining them in” isn’t feasible when they already flagrantly break every law of the country. Abolish ICE.
