I wonder if there is a specific place on Earth for each person where life is best. Imagine inputting who you are into a machine and getting an itinerary for a realistic move that would guarantee the best life.

Statistics state everything is getting better, but maybe it’s not good for my mental health - it doesn’t feel better. Can’t buy a house. 😅 Pension fund doesn’t look good. 😅 And it doesn’t make it better that statistically most people have it worst than me, that makes me feel even worse! 😂 #wellbeing

Around 1200 BCE, a number of Bronze Age civilizations seem to have collapsed in a storm of war, famine, and disaster. Were traveling sea raiders to blame? Climate change? Something else? 📖

Interesting new features on, @bsky.app I see as a flair that I am followed by one #spam account and one #impersonator. Everyone else is not Pinocchio.

These accounts are allowed to exist, but we get more information and ability to react? Interesting approach, reminds me of #reddit shadow-bans. 👍

So we’re all getting the bomb now? World gets shaken up a bit and everyone seems fine with the nuclear option for Europe. Weird how things change so fast.

Heute ist der internationale Tag des Gedenkens an die Opfer des #Holocaust.

Es ist vor allem die Verantwortung Deutschlands, die Erinnerung und Mahnung an dieses unvorstellbare, aber leider reale Verbrechen aufrechtzuerhalten.

"Nie Wieder!" darf keine leere Phrase sein!

@garrykasparov.bsky.social great to see you diversify and come to Bluesky. Looking forward to commenting on your thoughts on here as well. I’m curious to see what flavor the conversations in the comments here will have compared to the other platform.

Hey (IPA: / heɪ /) is so old & universal, it is present in all languages I checked either as hey or ey & is assumed to be a natural human expression. What does the word mean? Incredibly it is just an interjection to get attention, perhaps older than #language itself.

The Roots of Hello
Goodbye! But don’t leave just yet because I mean that in the literal sense. I’ll explain in a bit. I usually visit Wiktionary when I become curious about the roots of a word, and if you…

I know how the US can get rid of the deficit. Just make everyone in the world US citizens and send the IRS to tax their income!

Maybe we just switched to the timeline where CEOs are replaced by AI to optimize evil decisions & maximize profits for shareholders.

🇸🇾👀 Syrian rebels have entered Assad's palace in Damascus. What Russia has been building in this country for almost 10 years has been destroyed.

‼️ This morning, the rebels announced the beginning of a new era. People in Syria are celebrating in the streets.

One of the very first professional illustrations I did, for Penguin. This was done in Painter, before I switched to Photoshop. Still prefer the feel of Painter, but it's not quite robust enough for my needs now.

Exactly. The goal is not purely geopolitical. You just have to connect the dots of how Russia is conducting war - it’s terror & genocide to empty half of Ukraine of Ukrainians & leave the other half decimated & helpless. Well said @anneapplebaum.bsky.social, thank you.
