EU-Kommissar Olivér Várhelyi: Pelzproduktion verbieten! Schon kommende Woche könnte eine Entscheidung in Brüssel über das Schicksal von Millionen von Tieren in ganz Europa fallen.Derzeit werden Füchse, Nerze und Marderhunde noch immer für die Pelzproduktio

Mir macht die Renaissance von Pelzen an Kapuzen, Mützen und anderen Kleidungsstücken und Accessoires. Dafür werden Tiere unter qualvollen Bedingungen gehalten.
Zumindest in der EU können wir uns für ein Verbot stark machen!
Darum unterstütze ich die Petition

Artemis II astronauts make long-distance call to the space station as they head home from the moon The Artemis II astronauts are chatting it up with their friends aboard the International Space Station.

This reminds me so much of the wonderful book "Orbital" by Samantha Harvey:

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.

Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

Something beautiful during these crazy times

Captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026, this image shows the Moon fully eclipsing the Sun. From the crew’s perspective, the Moon appears large enough to completely block the Sun, creating nearly 54 minutes of totality and extending the view far beyond what is possible from Earth. The corona forms a glowing halo around the dark lunar disk, revealing details of the Sun’s outer atmosphere typically hidden by its brightness. Also visible are stars, typically too faint to see when imaging the Moon, but with the Moon in darkness stars are readily imaged. This unique vantage point provides both a striking visual and a valuable opportunity for astronauts to document and describe the corona during humanity’s return to deep space. The faint glow of the nearside of the Moon is visible in this image, having been illuminated by light reflected off the Earth. [alt text from NASA]

The #Artemis II astronauts said they needed more superlatives to describe their view of the eclipse, when the Sun was behind the Moon and its near surface was faintly illuminated by Earthshine

Habeck hätte das gekonnt.

Very interesting! As a German who is learning Icelandic, I have often wondered about thorn, eth, th, d and t.

Is there also a waxing-then-waning of linguistic complexity within a language? If you look at English or Norwegian, there used to be more grammatical forms in the Middle Ages. They must have been built up and then disappeared again. How did that happen?

Image of a promotional poster for "NEW: The Bodleian Whispering Service." It humorously details a service where users can "Request a title, Sit quietly, and Receive knowledge." Tiers include "Journal articles," "19th Century Novels," and "War and Peace (extended session)." Launching on April 1st. The poster features icons of two figures, one appearing to whisper to the other, against a background of a historic building.

Too busy to read? Our expert librarians can now quietly narrate books, articles, and selected manuscripts directly to you in our reading rooms.

Please note: whispering remains subject to standard library noise regulations.

Why do they call themselves Christians if they are so averse to the teachings of the New Testament?

I am very sorry, know what it means to lose a cat!

I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

Sehr einladend!
