S&P 500 performance in the first few months of the past 12 US presidents

It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

We stand with #Ukraine.

Russia is the aggressor and we share Ukraine’s commitment to a comprehensive, just and lasting peace!

I feel sick. We are witnessing America betray Europe and its closest allies. Shameful and deeply concerning.

Short note on provision of "raw" data in replication packages. "Raw" are data files exactly as downloaded from original source. Not renamed, not converted, not made prettier. All that is important, and is the next step, for which you provide code (or instructions). But "raw" is as "raw as it gets".

Genau das. 2017 hat sich Kurz und Strache vor der Wahl im TV-Duell (bei Puls 4?) noch darum gestritten, wer besser mit Orban befreundet ist.

Der Faktenlage nach war die FPÖ 2000 und 2017 auch regierungsunfähig. Genau so wie in den letzten Jahren in den Ländern. Hat diese Regierungsunfähigkeit die ÖVP jemals gestört? Nein. Das ist Ihre Fehlannahme, leider.

Is an email really an email if it doesn’t have a “hope you are doing well” and a “sorry for taking so long to respond”?

So, #Musk posts:
"Please post a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform"
Just a few hours after he tells people who disagree with him:
"Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face."

If you want positive, beautiful or informative content, 🦋 is where you'll find it

The Consequences of Elon Musk’s Ownership of X Dozens of studies of posts on X from multiple organizations have shown a similar trend: an increase in harmful content during Mr. Musk’s tenure.

When Elon Musk bought Twitter a year ago, he wrote, “Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape.” A year later, Mr. Musk’s platform has become exactly that.
