Die alten Fälle werden verschleppt, die Gesetze werden nicht vernünftig korrigiert, man kriegt fast den Eindruck das man hier irgendwie verarscht wird und es garkein Interesse gibt, die profitierenden Schichten ernsthaft zu belangen. Als wenn man sich fast alles erlauben könnte wenn man Geld hat...

“I can’t think of an astronomer who is not excited about [Rubin],” says Christian Aganze, a galactic archeologist at Stanford University in California.
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is ready to transform our understanding of the cosmos
The telescope will catalogue billions of new objects and produce a new map of the entire night sky every three days with the largest digital camera ever made.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Attention, Estonia!

Russian propagandist Keosayan:

"What are they going to protect? Their 10 Estonian acres? I have two options for what happens after 2028. Either Estonia will be safe within the Russian Federation, or Estonia will no longer exist."

Ein weiteres Stalin-Denkmal in Russland, aber es gibt Leute, die sagen, die Ukrainer könnten unter russischer Besatzung in 'Frieden und Sicherheit' leben. Bis 2023 wurden 110 Denkmäler errichtet, 95 unter Putin. Seit der Krim-Annektion hat sich das Tempo verdopplt.

Tonight Gáttaþefur (Doorway Sniffer), the 11th of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads, comes down from the mountains. He has a very long nose and a keen sense of smell, which he uses to find laufabrauð.

Children leave their shoes out in the window, he gives the good ones a small gift, the bad ones get a potato.

More video footage of contaminated beaches are appearing online after Russia's disastrous oil spill in the Black Sea. Putin declares that his withdrawal from Syria is not that bad for Russia.

Ich denke an all meine Mandant*innen, die Opfer sexualisierter Gewalt mit KO-Tropfen geworden sind und deren Verfahren fast alle eingestellt wurden. Auch, weil es die Ermittlungsbehörden eigentlich nie für erforderlich erachten, die Handys der Beschuldigten zu durchsuchen. #Frauenhass

Anapa may have to forget about being called a "resort city" for a long time.

The storm is bringing more and more petroleum products from tankers that sank in the Kerch Strait to Anapa's beaches. The oil slick has already contaminated up to 35 km of coastline.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

In einer bemerkenswerten ersten großen Rede sagt NATO-GS Mark Rutte: “Die Sicherheitslage ist die schlechteste in meiner Lebenszeit.” Er hat recht. Trotzdem machen wir in Europa weiter mit allem wie immer, statt erst einmal Sicherheit zu schaffen.
