Ein Stimmzettel für den Olympia-Entscheid in Köln

Olympia ja oder nein? Auch ich darf darüber abstimmen, ob Köln sich für die Ausrichtung von Sommerspielen bewerben soll. Von Freunden wurde ich öfter gefragt, was von einer Bewerbung zu halten ist. Ich habe dann immer dagelegt, warum ich mit NEIN stimme werde. Das mache ich jetzt auch mal hier. ⬇️

Chalker’s defectors contributed to what several former senior officials told me had been a dramatic leap forward in the U.S. government’s understanding of Iran’s nuclear ambitions in those years.

Absolutely crazy story that ties together many aspects related to cybersecurity, specifically about Iran‘s nuclear ambitions and how defectors have helped the U.S. keeping Iran away from the bomb, including through Stuxnet

(It's possible I'm missing relevant context here but i couldn't figure out how a merger means "closing" both otherwise)

I think they're merging linguistics into languages (but functionally closing it), but not closing both? "The most substantial change is the merger of the Department of Linguistics and the Department of World Languages (...) and the phasing out of all degrees offered by the Department of Linguistics"

A wide assortment of pamphlets, brochures, maps, and books from American historical sites. These materials are from roughly 1940 to the present.

I’ve been looking at National Parks material flagged for review and flipping through my collection of historical brochures and textbooks. I’m trying to transform my frustration into an article. We cannot go backwards. 🗃️

Ergebnisse des „Berlin Monitor“: Nur die Linken können die Demokratie retten Eine Umfrage zeigt: Ganz links außen wird die Demokratie verteidigt. Die Gefahr geht von den Rechten aus – und der bürgerlichen Mitte.

Neue Studie: Linke sind die stabilsten Demokrat*innen die das Land hat. Bei Rechten aber auch in der "bürgerlichen Mitte" finden sich hingegen neben antidemokratischen auch ein höherer Antisemitismus. Wow, ist ja wirklich ganz was anderes als seit Jahren in Zeitungen steht. 1/

This is such a fascinating point and I decided to see if the data exists, and apparently the USDA has tracked equine populations on farms since the 1850s.

The US equine population peaked at 25 million in the 1920s then fell to a low of 2.1 million in 1992 (it’s since rebounded to ~4 million).

Ich würde sagen, dass das relevante Informationen für aktuelle Debatten in Deutschland wären - aber das würde natürlich voraussetzen, dass Gesetze hier mit Blick auf empirische Grundlagen gemacht werden, und na ja 🤷🏻
