Uuuh- field trip to parallel discipline: the SPANDE Development Econ workshop! Very excited! 🤩
As Econ Historian, I will call it “methodical cross-training” rather than “productive eavesdropping” - 😎

Also came across: “a vocabulary teacher at the Institute for Noble Maidens.” Not sure if he led uprisings... but if anyone was silently plotting revolution with a thesaurus, it was him. 🕯️📚🧾 - so rich data
Been coding 19th-c anti-Tsarist activists (with a bit of LLM help 🤖). Some were terrorists, many were accountants 🧾💥 Honestly, I like to imagine they all looked like Ben Affleck in The Accountant 2—brooding, revolutionary, and not just good with ledgers… deadly with double-entry bookkeeping 🕶️📉✊

Uuuh… thrilled (and slightly confused) to share I’m now a 2x Marathon Finisher!! 🏃♀️🏁 Only took me seven years to come back for round two. Turns out 42.2 km still hurts just as much.
Endurance, stubbornness, and questionable life choices? Oh absolutely: ✅✅✅

It should be clear by now that Trump is blackmailing Zelensky to remove him from office. He is pursuing his own policy of regime change. Whether it just coincides, is coordinated or even directed by, Russia, I don’t know. But if he gets his way,

Ein Blick auf den Stadt-Land-Gegensatz. Abgebildet für jede Partei ihr nach Bevölkerungsdichte mittlerer Wahlkreis: 50% ihrer Stimmen sind urbaner, 50% ländlicher. AfD im Westen stärker und damit etwas urbaner, BSW ähnlich wie Union (weil Ostdeutsch), Grüne bleiben stark urban, Linke urban wie nie.
