Here's something from my own world. A little SEM image, as one can see, in BSE mode.
It shows magnesiowuestite crystals - the round shapes - which experienced wild swings in T & oxygen potential. So they multiply exsolved, and iron is reduced (the white patches). We use this as natural sensors.

Da wird der Preis fuer das Nichthandeln der europaeischen Bourgeoisie faellig. Schon lange wurde gewarnt dass das alte Modell der Globalisierung unter amerikanischer Supremacy vorbei ist. Man hat es nicht ernstgenommen, und jetzt beschuldigt man gruene Suendenboecke.

„In dieser rauer gewordenen Welt gilt – nur Stärke bewahrt Frieden“ - wird Merz in seiner Reg.-Erklaerung zitiert.
Waehrend das oberflaechlich richtig ist (und man wuerde sich wuenschen EU/D handelten danach, z. b. in Ukraine), kaschieren solche Sprueche das eigentliche Versagen der Politik.

From the German FAZ, on the "FCAS" defense project.
"Letztlich stelle sich aber auch die Frage, ob Deutschland wirklich an eine europäische Verteidigung glaube. [...] Deutschland möchte seine privilegierten Beziehungen zu den [US] nutzen..."

If last time around America was saved from the fascist wave by Roosevelt's New Deal. But this time it is succumbing. Can we in Europe then not accept the role reversal and pacify ourselves with a modernized New Deal? Adopt Roosevelt's Four Freedoms as a program, and Eleanor's standard of decency?

Un drone russe est entré en Roumanie puis est revenu en Ukraine, escorté par des F-16…roumains.

Escorté, pas abattu.

Quelle logique ? Le laisser tuer des Ukrainiens ? Leur mort sur notre conscience ?

Nonsense. with leaders like this the left is incapable of governing.

Today's Substack post is an excerpt from my upcoming book, which traces the connection between America’s cultural hold over the European mind and the EU’s failure to make itself sovereign.
Europe is a terrified child
There is a troubling psychology behind why Europeans are accepting their leaders' summer of subservience to "daddy" Donald Trump.

Mira of Kyiv is an account that is very important for quality information about the war in Ukraine to reach us as viewed by the population.
@jay.bsky.team please reconsider the ban of ban Mira of Kyiv
@reshetz.bsky.social she is a Ukrainian who has done great work keeping all of us informed about the war in her country. I am sure any transgressions against TOS were the unintentional result of translation errors or reporting on events.

And here is a little flower stem of another of the high summer forest shadow flowers, this is Heksenkruid (Dutch) - circaea lutetiana. English call it apparently enchanter's nightshade. I have no idea how it gets to be by name linked with witchcraft. It just grows and enjoys life.

I was in the forest on sunday, the forest is on the inner rim of the dunes, where the sand filtered water wells up and runs into the polders. It is a line rich with beautiful summer flowers. Unfortunately im not so good with telephone fotoing. This is stachys sylvatica - Bosandoorn

i dont get out often anymore but today i went to the place, a short distance away from my house where there are orchids growing. It is a valley in a coastal dune belt. Clay accumulates in such valleys and the rainwater cant drain, that creates mini swamps in which these thrive. Now is their season.
