You might have missed this with all the other news happening, but it is Trump giving the Chinese government a massive win and further degrading the value of the US as an ally. This should be a major story. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/u...
The value of Russia's fossil fuel exports fell 19% year on year during the fourth year of the full-scale invasion. Sanctions work. Clean energy works. But plenty more to do on both fronts.
Because if he cedes tariff power to Congress no one will pay him bribes for tariff relief.
Finde ein Social Media-Verbot für alle unter 14 wieder so eine einfallslose Form von Politik.
Wie wär's z.B. erstmal mit transparenten Algorithmen und User- (Eltern-?) Kontrolle über die Parameter?
Habe einiges gelernt in diesem Artikel, unter anderem, dass das Parken im öffentlichen Raum bis 1966 verboten war.
Und dass das Parken in manchen europäischen Metropolen um ein Vielfaches (!) teurer als in den deutschen ist.
Andere Städte sind möglich.

Orban is not just an authoritarian leader; he is also close to both Russia and China. The Western alliance would benefit from his defeat. The problem is that Trump is pursuing his personal political agenda, not the agenda of the US as understood by presidents of both parties. wapo.st/4aEwTvC
Not nearly enough people are aware of this.
Western aid to Ukraine.
Before and after Trump.

Design de l'intérieur absolument incroyable, par contre, et je ne pensais pas que je dirais cette phrase un jour, je ne comprends pas comment fonctionne pare-brise.
»Fast schon skurril mutet es an, wenn als Beleg für die Schwäche der EU ihre 'Gespaltenheit' angeführt wird. […] gespalten im Vergleich zu wem? In den USA fürchten sie sich seit Längerem vor einem zweiten Bürgerkrieg.« Lesenswert in der »Zeit« zur Stärke Europas www.zeit.de/politik/ausl...
💯 Every. Fucking. Word.
I love my profession deeply, but some of them are not covering themselves in glory these days. If a mob boss draws a sharp blade languidly across your palm and says it would be a real shame for you to lose your pinky, your headline isn't "Godfather rules out hacking off finger to settle debt."
If you're only reading headlines and see "Trump Says He Won't Use Force" it will give you a misimpression of both how bellicose this speech is and how dug in he is on Greenland.
"We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition. […] You cannot live with in the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."
Wow that Mark Carney speech. A must listen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE98...

This really is the article to read.

“imagine a rearming, nationalist France facing a rearmed, nationalist Germany. The two nations might find common ground against mounting threats from the US and Russia, but they also have a complex history, having fought three major wars against each other”
Deprimierend. Und was für ein armseliges Regime, das den allerletzten Hauch von Legimität verspielt hat und sich dennoch weigert, Platz zu machen. www.sueddeutsche.de/projekte/art...
honestly humiliating for everyone involved, even people who had to read the story

"They understand the psychology of the people in Europe who desperately want the U.S. to be what it was. They want the U.S. to be pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia: to support them. The Trump administration throws them crumbs."

How much energy can be produced on global land currently used for liquid biofuels? Bar comparison showing energy per year from land currently used for liquid biofuels: Biofuels for transport — 1,400 TWh per year; Solar panels on the same land — 32,000 TWh per year. Side annotations: 31,000 TWh shown for context as the amount of electricity the world generated in 2024; 7,000 TWh per year shown as the amount of electricity the world would need to power all of its cars and trucks if they were electric. Note: This assumes the world uses 32 million hectares of land to grow crops for liquid biofuels, based on net land use which subtracts land allocated to co-products such as animal feed, and assumes solar PV uses 1 hectare of land per GWh. Data source: Energy Institute; Cerulogy; Ember; and author calculations. Chart is licensed CC BY to Our World in Data.
The world dedicates a Poland-sized area of land to producing liquid biofuels such as bioethanol & biodiesel. Is there a more efficient way to generate energy?
Putting solar panels on the land used for biofuels, e.g., would produce enough electricity for all cars and trucks worldwide to go electric.
Bei X müsste es wie in der Gastronomie sein: Wenn die Ratten durchs Gulasch laufen und die Gäste reihenweise umkippen, gibt's kein höfliches Anschreiben mit Bitte um Stellungnahme binnen zwei Wochen. Dann wird erstmal dichtgemacht und danach kann man darüber reden, ob und wie es weitergeht.
Bin immer noch etwas fassungslos über diese Form der Berichterstattung.
I cannot say in public what I think of this attitude. Nuclear armed powers have lost wars. They *must* lose wars of aggression and imperial conquest; otherwise it means the death of #nuclear non- #proliferation and nukes for all.
Which we have to assume is going to happen now.
The price for Russian oil has reached another low since the start of the full scale war. It is now at 40 USD per barrel. This was reported by Bloomberg.
The Russian budget was calculated for a price of around 70 USD per barrel.

pros and cons list of Putting in protected mobility lanesPros reduce fatalities, reduce injuries, more people biking, less pollution, economic boost, less congestion, healthier population, kids biking/rolling to school, safer sidewalks, helps address the climate emergency, increase active transportation, more inclusive spaces.
