I'm a German-adjacent historian, but this is one of my favorites on the rise of Nazism. V. accessable for the non-specialists. See esp. Chapt. 5: "Making Germany Great Again." Please feel free to post your recommendations.

Every regulation is written in the blood of a worker, or someone damaged by industrial pollution, or a kid who didn’t get to grow up.
“Regulations, basically, should be default gone,” Musk said. “Not default there, default gone. And if it turns out that we missed the mark on a regulation, we can always add it back in.”

Elon Musk Suggests Getting Rid Of All Regulations In Midnight Call

This widely shared image of Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu, which has also been shared by some major news sources, is AI-generated and fake.

Among the sings of AI generation are distorted faces in the background, deformed fingers, and Trump's and Netanyahu's merging arms.

"If allowing Ukraine to join NATO is being protracted again and again, what will be defending us? Will we be given nuclear weapons? Will they give us missiles in quantities so we can stop Russia? What else can stop Russia. Give us back nuclear arms," Zelensky said speaking to Piers Morgan.

The State Department has fired about 60 contractors who work for its democracy, human rights, and labor bureau — a division whose programs have often been criticized by authoritarian leaders.

The dismissals deal a severe blow to the bureau. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

There are loads of videos of stricken and dying birds on the Black Sea coast when #Russia¦n negligence and greed caused an ecological disaster.

Two un-seaworthy "shadow" tankers broke up in a storm off #Crimea

#Germany is relocating a military repair centre from #Slovakia.

I wonder why Fico's government has "repeatedly shown itself to be unwieldy in the operational processes of the repair centre."

The hub, based in Slovakia since 2022, will be back in Germany by 31 December.
