Addendum: Russian bots, Trolls, hate speech and disinformation are rigorously reported and blocked.
fyi: new followers without any indication of who or what topics are behind them, without a minimal first post, will be blocked. Naturally, climate deniers, sexual harassment, fascists and crypto-freaks will also be blocked.
Leider auch das. Auch bei der BiodiversitätsKrise kann niemand hinterher sagen, man habe es nicht wissen können.

Der Bussard hat die Kollision auf der AB überlebt und flog weiter, nachdem Polizisten ihn aus dem Kühlergrill befreiten . Liebe solche Geschichten.

Bei Lübeck: Wie ein Greifvogel einen Autounfall im Kühlergrill überlebt
Mit etwa 100 Kilometer pro Stunde erfasst eine Autofahrerin einen Bussard auf der A20. Das Tier überlebt – muss aber aus dem Kühlergrill des Fahrzeugs befreit werden.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Hier meine aktuelle Geschichte zu Microsoft und dem FBI. (und irgendwann plaudere ich mal aus dem Nähkästchen, wie die Kommunikation mit der Pressestelle velief - das ist eine ganz eigene Geschichte)

FBI und Microsoft: Microsoft öffnet dem FBI die Tür
Microsoft hat Ermittlern Zugriff auf verschlüsselte Daten seiner Kunden verschafft. Und wieder stellt sich die Frage: Sollte man sich auf US-Tech-Firmen verlassen?

Man muss das genau lesen: Angekündigt wird ja nicht nur, dass die 8-Stunden-Regelung gekippt wird, sondern Überstunden auch steuerfrei sind. Und genau darum wird es auch gehen: Die wöchentliche Höchstarbeitszeit soll nach oben und das halt möglichst positiv verkauft werden. That's all there is.
Schwarz-Rot will Acht-Stunden-Tag flexibilisieren
Inmitten der hitzigen Debatte um die Teilzeit-Regelung macht die Bundesregierung einen Vorstoß zur Neuregelung der Arbeitszeit. Profitieren sollen davon Millionen Arbeitnehmer in Deutschland.

Hard to read for our field (#musicology)! The consequences are numerous: absence in calls, erosion of support for infrastructure and difficulties in linking musicology with cultural initiatives. Protest must be formed here, from all cultural studies!

I was at a meeting for 2 days:

~ 40 neurologists
- CO2 >4000 ppm
- occasional coughing (on day 2 and 3, at the end of the week probably more frequent…).

😷= 1 (yours truly…)

I explained the terrible quality of air, the risk of airborne infection and of SARS-CoV-2. 🤷🏻‍♀️
