Apparently some stabbing just happened in Berlin Alexanderplatz, but cannot find any information, so probably some traditional U8 Friday night hobo fight. 🤷

Why can men hug only if they first slap their hands?

Also, how are you supposed slap? Hands in the arm wrestling or handshaking position?

Furthermore, why is it more common with casual friends, whereas between best friends, you likely just share an insult?

Finally, could we just nod? To everyone.

Quite a cynical view of dating.
To date, Andrew Otazo has collected, bagged, and hauled more than 17 tons of trash in an effort to help preserve Florida habitats.

“The trash will come back, but I’m stubborn,” he said. “I’ll keep doing this until I keel over.”
He’s cleared 35,000 pounds of trash from Miami’s mangroves and isn’t done yet
We accompanied Andrew Otazo on a trip to the mangroves. To date, the Miami man has cleared more than 17 tons of trash, mostly from the islands around Biscayne Bay.

Vaikka koenkin olevani jonkin sortin feministi, niin täältä viemäristä katsottuna tilaston toimitusjohtajien sukupuolijakaumista tai eliittiklubien jäsenehdoista tuntuu aika turhanpäiväisestä ongelmalta.
Toki mukava huomata, että verkostoissani on vielä ihmisiä joille tällaiset aiheet ovat tärkeitä.

Greetings for Germany, you know the next step will be wearing a visible sign on your clothes, right?
It will get much, much worse.
This morning federal agents arrested two hard working immigrants on my street because they didn’t have their papers on them, and tried to arrest my neighbor because his green card was in his house rather than on his person.

We are now a “show me your papers” state, and it is outrageous. Get angry.

Update on this. As predicted, Germany (Rewe) is now 1.09/l. :/
Forget the bic mac -index, I'm interested in the price for San Pellegrino in your location!
Here in Berlin, it's 0,99e/l in my closest grocery store, and I find it really cheap. So cheap that I'm afraid they will realise it soon.

A British judge sentences five men for their roles in an arson attack in London that authorities say was masterminded by Russian intelligence as part of a wider campaign of sabotage and disruption.

Suomi oli ensimmäinen maa koko maailmassa, joka osti Daavidin lingon 2023. Mikään muu maa ei ole toistaiseksi ostanut sitä.

Ainakin somea lukemalla voisi tulla siihen tulokseen, että millään muulla maalla ei siis ole lainkaan ilmatorjuntaa.

Fellow Finns, Baltics. A task for you: Go and befriend as many Mediterraneans as you can. Now!
Seems they don't 1) believe that the war is coming, 2) understand the concept of defence alliance.
Be their reason: Tell them that the reason for their mil spending is to defend You, their dear friend.
Go!

Team White Ibis!
I will never forget the moment I saw my first one:
My first morning in Australia. Heavy jetlag, woke up at 5am and went for a walk. Then I saw a massive bird on a sidewalk, casually pecking trash. I was astonished, and locals behaved like it didn't exist. Felt like I was in a dream.

Yövyin viime yön kellarissa Lvivissä Venäjän ampuessa kaupunkiin ohjuksia ja drooneja.

Näimme palavia taloja, yhdestä oli ohjus mennyt katosta sisään.

Iskussa kuoli nelihenkinen perhe. Tämä on silkkaa terroria, toki koko sota on täysin moraaliton.

Ukraina tarvitsee lisää aseita itsepuolustukseen.

Remember: these reports of ongoing hybrid warfare in Europe are just the tip of the iceberg. Activities are conducted across domains in many countries all the time.
NEW: German officials reported more unidentified drone sightings near airports and military facilities.

Harvaa tietää, että ennen kuin piritori oli piritori (tai peukkutori?) se oli kolatori. Ennen oli paremmin.
