And we got a new record: seven hours stuck at the Ukrainian-Slovakian border, and at least two more to go. Easily beats the previous one set by the Poles.

Shocking news coming out of Berlin: an investigation by newspaper BILD has uncovered there were Nazis WHO WERE GERMANS

People in #Odesa standing as the national anthem of Ukraine is being played before their team’s face-off with Romania in Munich. The TVs are powered by generators due to ongoing power outages.

I got this text some time ago by someone very dear to me, and as I cannot recall anyone who’s ever summed it up better I made a screenshot which has been serving me as a keepsake since.

Amid ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, the power supply for #Odesa is now failing to a degree that makes everyday life increasingly dangerous. Emergency power generators bursting into flames have now become a common sight throughout the city & region.

Good morning.

“Dad, why are political scientists in German-language countries different than their colleagues in the rest of the world?”

“Idk son. Might be because they’re the products of higher education systems marked by intense debates about controversial questions, like: ‘What is the purpose of a road?’”

An hour ago, the walls were shaking as Russia again attacked #Odesa with a ballistic missile. Also, the city’s power supply is down again, and will likely remain so for the rest of the day.

Took them a while, but finally the handful of people running the comms of Vienna‘s public transport system show they have more brains than virtually all members of the country’s media & political class combined.

Good morning. #Odesa

Indications piling up the Russians have used cluster munitions again. No reports on casualties yet. #Odesa

#Precht is right. People forget that unlike today’s “entire Arab World, which is unfit for democracy,” ze Germans, thanks to their natural inclination for liberal democracy, famously overthrew the monarchy & the Nazis all by themselves, and are therefore primed to lecture the rest of the world.

More ballistics incoming, trajectory towards the port & center of town. #Odesa
May 28, 2024 at 1:29 PM
#Odesa is again under attack from ballistic missiles
May 28, 2024 at 1:25 PM
Good morning.

No official confirmation yet but according to a source at public broadcaster Suspilne, one person died as a result of today‘s attacks on #Odesa. At least five people were injured. Also, from now on power will be cut off again in many neighborhoods on a regular basis.
May 17, 2024 at 6:31 PM
Another missile en route to #Odesa rn
May 17, 2024 at 4:54 PM
Another missile attack on #Odesa, loud explosions audible in the center of town
May 17, 2024 at 3:35 PM
More missiles on #Odesa incoming, X-59
May 17, 2024 at 1:43 PM
A major explosion was audible in #Odesa city center not even a minute after the air raid alert kicked in. Reports of an arrival piling up on local social media, no info on casualties yet.
May 17, 2024 at 12:26 PM
Confirmed: #Odesa is under missile attack
May 17, 2024 at 12:21 PM
Minutes ago, Russia launched another batch of missiles towards #Odesa from occupied Crimea. Hopefully not jinxing it but in the last two weeks, while attacks on the city & region have been constant, local air defense appears to have become significantly more effective taking out targets over the sea
