The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Vor einigen Jahren war es noch kompliziert, über das deutsche Bundesarchiv NSDAP-Mitgliedschaften abzufragen. Nun haben die National Archives in den USA anscheinend die gesamte Zentralkartei ins Netz gestellt. Jedenfalls ein sehr tolles Tool für Mikrogeschichte. catalog.archives.gov/id/12044361
The pro-Kremlin disinformation machine does not waste a moment inserting its self-exonerating narrative into whatever crisis is unfolding.
Russia has made a sport out of targeting civilians from Syria to Ukraine. To claim otherwise is delusional at best. (1)
Absolut chillig und perfekt, dass Reiche, Spahn und Merz die Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energieträgern wieder vergrößern wollen.
„Lateinamerika wird wieder zum Hinterhof der USA“ – David Sowkaund und Gerald Demmel interviewen mich über Trumps neue Interventionspolitik.

"Försök inte få mig att tro att detta handlar om migration, för de som berörs är redan här. Och det handlar inte heller om integration, för de som drabbas är redan väl integrerade i det svenska samhället."

“This is an important win not just for The Handbasket but for the promise of transparency in DC. The court’s ruling vindicates the public’s right of access to body cam footage, and ensures that the public will get a full and accurate accounting of the episode at the US Institute of Peace last year.”
It's a perfect example of "institutional betrayal' @sorayachemaly.bsky.social as explains in her piece for us:
A new systematic analysis of intermittent fasting from 22 randomized trials shows no advantage for weight loss or other outcomes compared with regular diet advice

Right, another key thing that historians do is working with important records that have not been digitized.
And the vast majority of the world’s records *have not been digitized* and thus do not exist in any format that LLMs/AI can work with.
Die digitale Abhängigkeit des deutschen Staates von einem einzelnen Tech-Giganten nimmt besorgniserregende Ausmaße an: Fast 500 Millionen Euro hat die Bundesverwaltung allein im Jahr 2025 für Microsoft-Lizenzen ausgegeben! 😱

Our children are also under constant threat, living under russian drones and missiles attack. Russia kills them. This is a memorial in Kharkiv dedicated to the "little angels who will never grow up." Those are their names on the cubes.

Yup, I was going to bring up chess as an example. Chess has been dealing with AI for 30 years now. Chess players use AI extensively in preparation and review. But using it during the game is a sin.
I think a similar dynamic will happen to the creative arts.

Under tidigt tiotal var vi få som pratade om återreglering av lärares undervisningstid. Man sågs som en kuf. Frågan var död och begraven. Sedan började intreset att öka under andra delen av decenniet. Här en tidig Balanstext om USK:en www.vilarare.se/nyheter/deba...
Jörgen har du övervägt att sluta vara kompis med Epstein för att han var en systematisk våldtäktsman och trafficker
Greetings from Kyiv.
Winter’s survival mode drains a lot of energy.
Voltage drops and constant power cuts wear out the meter. I have to choose what to charge in the rare hours of electricity.
Finally found someone to fix the windows, the drafts make the flat even colder.
Spring, we need you.
Det här borde få mycket större uppmärksamhet än vad som lär bli fallet.
By my count in the last five years we have seen four sex trafficking rings involving the elite of entertainment and media, academia, finance, and politics with no discernible effects on our system and without us making it central to political analysis. Instead, pundits told us #metoo went too far.
The murder of Medgar Evers was an act of racial terror. That fact is not partisan. It is historical. Calling it anything else is not “restoring truth.” It is erasing it.
I have managed to literally write hundreds of letters of recommendation over the past 20 years without even *once* referring to a student's physical appearance. I also have also yet to receive the kind of follow-up call described here, "asking for aesthetic detail".
The Washington Post was once a standard-bearer for American journalism. It stood for fearless investigative reporting, for holding the powerful accountable, and for the simple but radical idea that democracy cannot survive without a free press.
That institution is now being destroyed.
