Zoomed out. Warm Slough near Rexburg, Idaho, USA.
Digital elevation model showing many river bends. Floodplain: white = low, dark blue = high. Plateau: blue = low, pink = high. Circular forms in the plateau show that the river meanders 'ate' (drank?) part of it.

Spannend: Die NY Times hat offenbar ein System, mit dem extrem viele Podcasts automatisch per LLM beobachten lässt - und ein regelmäßiges "Meta-Update" zusammenstellt: www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/how-...
How The New York Times uses a custom AI tool to track the “manosphere”
The daily podcast round-up is just one way the Times is adopting in-house AI transcription and summarization tools.

Wenn das auch nur im Ansatz stimmen sollte, würde es bedeuten, dass Russland auf ein Zusammengehen mit den USA gegen Europa setzt. Was - wenn es so kommen sollte - die Verhältnisse natürlich grundlegend ändern würde.

There it is. Putin offers Trump a $12 trillion deal to give up Ukraine.

Finished the first round of updates to my justthebrowser.com project!

Das einzige was ich bei blusky schade finde ist, dass es in meinem Feed 100% Doomscrolling ist. Früher hatte ich noch viel data-nerdkram und lustiges shitposting dabei. Aber sowas finde ich hier kaum noch.

Russia's fiscal situation is worse than expected: The consolidated budget had a deficit of nearly 4% of GDP in 2025. Regions are under pressure from increasing war costs. Social funds were forced to draw down their reserves after federal transfers were cut. Read: open.substack.com/pub/janisklu...
Russia’s consolidated budget deficit reached almost 4% of GDP in 2025
As Russian regions shoulder more war costs and social security funds are depleted, the consolidated budget balance has deteriorated far more than expected.

🇪🇺🇺🇸Trump on Europe: “They’ve got a big problem on their hands. Between immigration and energy, Europe is destroying itself – and they better get smart … it’s not recognizable, Europe, if you go through the different cities. It’s a very sad thing.”

Sehr spannend zu hören, wie @sofielillistoffel.bsky.social aufzeigt, dass Trumps Administration die volle Punktzahl auf der Narzissmus-Skala bekommt.

Und was für eine Gülle hat sich die CDU schon wieder ausgedacht? Teilzeitgesetz kippen? Ja? Wollt ihr wieder mehr Alleinernährermodell in Familien? Weil ein Job bei allen so gut reicht?
