Flight Salzburg-Belgrade-Zurich costs 129€ and takes 4:45 hours. Train from Salzburg to Zürich costs 151€ and takes 6:28 hours.

Flying Salzburg → Belgrade → Zürich is currently faster AND cheaper than taking the train between two neighboring countries.

Let that sink in.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

So one month ago the US government took 10% ownership of Intel. Today Nvidia invested 5 billion dollars into them, causing their stock prices to rise by around 30% at market open. No insider trading for sure.

For Switzerland's 734th birthday today, Trump gifted them a new 39% tariff.

Industriellenfamilie Thiele zahlt vier Milliarden Euro Erbschaftsteuer Die Familie Thiele zahlt fast vier Milliarden Euro Erbschaftsteuer. Der Grund: Eine Stiftung als steuergünstiges Vehikel ist zu spät fertig geworden.

Germany has received the highest-ever single inheritance tax payment of about €4bn. The reason? The paperwork to set up a foundation took too long.

Picture from the talk on Human & Robotic Space Exploration

Today at ESA's LPS2025, I had the chance to meet one of my role models for nearly 3 years now: Austrian reserve astronaut Carmen Possnig! I found the talk on Human & Robotic Exploration truly fascinating, as I see myself working in that area in the future.

Pictures from ESAs Living Planet Symposium 2025 (Monday)!

I'll be at the Living Planet Symposium in Vienna this week! Because of that, I'll be posting a few nice pictures from there over the next couple of days.

Jetzt unterzeichnen: Privates Waffenverbot jetzt! Der Amoklauf an einer Grazer Schule zeigt, dass das Waffengesetz in Österreich viel zu locker ist. Das muss sich ändern! Fordere jetzt mit uns ein Waffenverbot für Privatpersonen.

Die Tat in #Graz macht fassungslos und muss Konsequenzen haben. Privatpersonen brauchen keine Schusswaffen! Deshalb Appell an den Innenminister und die Bundesregierung unterzeichnen und sofortiges #Waffenverbot für Privatpersonen fordern: actions.aufstehn.at/waffenverbot...

Whatever we're watching at Monaco, it isn't racing anymore #F1

Hopefully budget cuts weren't a big factor in her decision.
I wish her all the best!

Flavio Briatore being back in F1 wasn't on my F1 bingo card.

Graph, der die Entwicklung der Rumänischen Wirtschaft seit ihres EU-Beitritts zeigt. Seit 2007 ist das rumänische BIP um 63,46% gestiegen, dass des EU Durchschnittes "nur" um 20%.

Offensichtlich nicht. Sonst wüssten sie wohl, dass ihre Wirtschaft auch dank ihres EU-Beitritts stark gewachsen ist. Von all den gesellschaftlichen Vorteilen ganz zu schweigen. Aber russische Propaganda funktioniert besser.

Das traurige ist halt auch, dass genau die Auslandsrumänen bei einem Austritt aus der EU, mit dem Simion droht, ihre Aufenthalts- und Arbeitserlaubnis in Europa verlieren würden.

Look at this video: a *huge* crowd of Vermonters swaying alongside Mohsen right after he was freed, singing "We Shall Overcome"

The 1916 proclamation of the Irish Republic

The leaders of the Easter Rising were executed by the British from 3rd to the 12th of May 1916.

Irish Protest Flyer saying: "Remember what the hand of England in the affairs of Ireland has always meant. Homes burnt, Famine, Economic conscription, Hanging of priests and patriots, emigration, English wars. Vote for the man who doesn't want Ireland to continue under such rulers."

A poster by a prisoner of Kilmainham Gaol from 1922-1923 saying "A few men faithful and a deathless dream." There's an Irish flag on it.

Today, 109 years ago, was the first day of the Irish Easter Rising, which paved the way for Irish independence.

Das ist der offizielle X-Account des Weißen Hauses.
Das zugegeben hat, dass die Deportation des Mannes ein „administrativer Fehler“ war.
Es hatte kein Verfahren, keine Vorstrafen, niemand weiß, warum er deportiert wurde und der Supreme Court verlangt, dass die Regierung seine Rückkehr ermöglicht.

Just watched your video, very well done! When do you think the next one is coming and do you know yet what it will be about?

How come every conservative politician has the urge to create their own social media platform in the name of free speech, while X boosts their posts and censors those of their opponents?

This is going to be extremely funny.

It's crazy how fake news can make the stock market jump by 7%

SpinLaunch was always a dark horse for the lunar economy, but I never imagined launching from Earth was even possible. Now, they're planning to deploy their own satellite constellation from Alaska with their SpinLauncher!

This launcher is about to displace the V-2 as Germany’s largest rocket Isar Aerospace’s first Spectrum rocket will launch from Andøya Spaceport in Norway.

Germany's Isar Aerospace is planned to launch for the first time in about 12 hours!

Of course the Americans have to compare it to the Nazi V2 rocket, but I wish Isar all the best!
