Die Zeitung für Kommunalwirtschaft hat mich zur aktuellen Energiepolitik befragt - und ja, bei der Frage, was die Rückabwicklung des Gebäudeenergiegesetzes für die Stadtwerke bedeutet, bin ich deutlich geworden. www.zfk.de/politik/deut...

Worauf auch deutsche politisch Verantwortliche mächtig horny sind:
If you think the nuclear-powered supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford is the most powerful ship in the world, you are wrong. It's actually the German cruise ship Mein Schiff 4 (pictured), which successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend
It’d be cool if the Trump regime hadn’t fired a bunch of people from the two tsunami warning centers.
Der #Weltspiegel und die #Tagesschau haben sich heute mit der UN-Finanzkrise beschäftigt — ich durfte erklären, wie ich die Lage jetzt nach einem Jahr Krise einschätze.
The ocean continued to warm in 2025, reaching record high levels.
It is expected that the ocean will continue to warm well into the future – a change which is irreversible for hundreds to thousands of years.

Die Finanzkrise der #UN ist heute Abend Thema im @weltspiegel.bsky.social.
Als ich vor 2 Wochen in Genf war, um die Krise selbst noch besser zu verstehen, hab ich die Journalistinnen getroffen, die an diesem Beitrag gearbeitet haben, und durfte meine Einschätzung teilen.

Vogelbeobachtung klingt angestaubt, »Birding« ist hip: Junge Menschen zieht es zurück in die Natur – um Vögel zu sehen und zu zählen. Eine Berlinerin hat dafür sogar ihren Job gekündigt.
Das ist .... interessant.
Grüne und CDU in Baden-Württemberg reichen #Palantir (bis 2030) die Polizeidaten rüber und wollen die „KI“-Videoüberwachung ausweiten www.zeit.de/politik/deut...
The centre-left leader of the Italian opposition defending Meloni against the attacks of Trump.
It looks like Trump manages to unite the European continent across political dividing lines, from Hungary to Italy, Germany to Spain.
Among the ways Orban tilts the election: Hungarian expats in Western Europe, who tend to vote opposition, must vote in person at a few consulates etc. Ethnic Hungarians in Slovakia/Romania/Serbia/Ukraine, who tend to back Orban, can vote easily by mail
300.000 Wale und Delphine sterben jährlich weltweit in Fischernetzen. Darum könnte man sich vielleicht mal kümmern.
🇭🇺Hungary’s turnout is breaking records: 16.89% by 9am (2022: 10.31%). Areas where the opposition Tisza party did well in last year’s EP vote are overperforming. Urban, strongly anti-Orbán voters—who tend to vote later—are just starting to head to the polls. Follow me for #HungaryElection updates!
Why EEST when Hungary is in CEST? Just asking because this might lead to confusions.
In the east of #Chad, 1 in 3 people is a refugee. Chad now hosts 1.3 million Sudanese refugees, with over 900,000 arrivals since 2023.
As funding falls short, life‑saving support is being cut. WFP has already halved food assistance for most refugees.

Massive devastation following the Israeli strikes across Lebanon.
Homes destroyed. Communities shattered. Many lives lost.
Children reported among the victims.
Civilians, in particular children, must be protected at all times, and international humanitarian law must be fully respected.
I know @doctorow.pluralistic.net invented the term "enshittification" for the degradation of online plattforms.
For me it now describes this world where we got hooked on US culture and media, and now Trump enshittifies all of this — and we want to leave but are still too dependent on this platform.
The only thing
to save us
is art.
Borderless humanity
jointly performed.
Across languages.
Across genres.
Across genders.

Breaking News: New details from a series of Situation Room meetings show how President Trump made the fateful decision to attack Iran in February. nyti.ms/48zW8ie
It's not 'value-based realism' (Alex Stubb) if you don't show that you have values. The silence of the German government on Trump's genocidal tweet is clearly a sign that #Merz has no values, no clear compass.
The road to hell is paved with think tank papers claiming that everyone involved is too sensible to do that obviously stupid thing
We've reached a point where the EU is urging Donald Trump to refrain from committing war crimes in Iran.
For almost a century generations of scholars and thinkers have tried to understand why the Germans sleepwalked into disaster. Future generations will focus on a different case.
McConnell saw Trump with complete clarity but suggested he was someone else’s problem.

Heute Abend fragt sich die Nation dann wieder in den Talkshows - ist die Auslöschung einer Zivilisation völkerrechtswidrig oder nicht?
Ja, schon, aber es gibt auch Prof. Dr. XYZ der zumindest die Androhung der Auslöschung für taktisch möglicherweise…
Merz: Das ist eine komplexe Situation.
Wenn man einen Freund hat, der schwere Verbrechen ankündigt, schweigt man nicht, sondern schreitet ein. Sonst macht man sich mitschuldig. Alle NATO-Partner müssen jetzt klare Worte finden.
