"But, back in Moscow, how did the stock exchange react? It rose 2.7%. That's because Russia had been bracing for even tougher sanctions from President Trump."

Must read for all Japan travelers.

During AIX last week, my latest #JohnDoesJapan guide for Lonely Planet popped: a beginner's guide to using the brilliant #JapanRailPass.

Is it worth it? For most first trips to Japan, yes: mostly in pure ¥¥¥ terms, but also because it's so flexible.

Hier nochmal in zwei leicht verständlichen Grafiken der #SchwedischeWeg, den Journalist*innen regelmäßig bejubeln. Im Gegensatz zu den skandinavischen Nachbarn hat sich SWE recht früh auf das falsche Versprechen einer #Herdenimmunität à la #GreatBarringtonDeclaration festgelegt.
A line graph titled "Excess mortality: Cumulative deaths from all causes compared to projection based on previous years" displays the percentage difference between cumulative deaths since January 1, 2020, and projected deaths based on previous years for four Nordic countries: Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The y-axis represents the percentage difference in cumulative deaths (ranging from -10% to over 10%), while the x-axis spans from March 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023. Sweden (dark blue line) shows a sharp increase in excess mortality in early 2020, peaking above 10%, followed by a gradual decline and stabilization around 5% excess mortality. Finland (brown line) exhibits a steady rise in excess mortality from early 2021, surpassing Sweden and Norway by late 2023. Norway (teal line) follows a similar pattern to Finland but at a slightly lower level. Denmark (purple line) starts with a negative excess mortality rate in 2020 but gradually increases to around 2% excess mortality by the end of 2023. The data source is the Human Mortality Database (2024), World Mortality Dataset (2024), Karlinsky and Kobak (2021), and other sources. The graph is published by Our World in Data. A line graph titled "Cumulative confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people" illustrates the cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million people for Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Norway from March 1, 2020, to September 23, 2023. Sweden (brown line) has the highest cumulative confirmed deaths, clearly exceeding 2,000 per million by the end of the period. Finland (green line) follows, with a sharp increase in deaths starting in early 2022, reaching just below 2,000 per million. Denmark (blue line) has a similar trajectory to Finland but at a slightly lower level, stabilizing at around 1,500 per million. Norway (red line) has the lowest cumulative death rate, remaining under 1,000 per million. The graph includes a disclaimer that due to varying protocols and challenges in attributing causes of death, the number of confirmed deaths may not fully reflect the actual COVID-19 mortality. Data source: World Health Organization (2025), with population data based on various sources (2024). Published by Our World in Data.

Immer wieder erstaunlich dass Europa keine Rolle spielt/spielen will in dem Konflikt.

Syrien: Die geopolitische Dimension ist nicht zu unterschätzen. Schon 2015 war Assads Regime kurz vorm Kollabieren, damals wurde es durch eine russische Militäroperation gerettet: Luftanschläge, Waffen, Wagner, permanente Militärbasen. Assads Fall ist auch ein Zeichen russischer Schwäche.

I think this might be the first breaking news event that I saw on here first before anywhere else?

This honestly feels like a tipping point of sorts for this place.

⚡️KLIMASCHUTZ⚡️

Mit Platz 23 im Klimaschutzindex erreicht Ö. die beste Platzierung in den letzten zehn Jahren. In fast allen emissionsstarken Staaten sind erneuerbare Energien und Elektrifizierung „mit Wucht auf der Überholspur“. Positiv - aber Luft nach oben, siehe hier 👇
