I mean if Trump arrests Putin right then and there in Alaska, I suppose they could give him the Nobel peace prize.

And throw a Nobel prize in physics or something on top of it for all I care.

Moroz na mě občas vyskočí na LinkedInu a píše tam neuvěřitelně rasistické/far right příspěvky.

Tak jsem teda fakt rád, že pracuje s bezpečnostní komunitou😕.

Já se takhle asi 10 let těšil na to, až se dostanu na hřbitovní ostrov v Benátkách. Konečně jsem se tam dostal v 2023.

American je demonym pro obyvatele USA. Minimálně v angličtině to nemá celokontinentální význam.

In early spring 2020, I reported an article for The New York Times on which I put the tentative headline: “New Coronavirus Is ‘Clearly Not a Lab Leak,’ Scientists Say.”

It never ran.

For two reasons.

The chief one was that inside the Times, we were sharply divided. My colleagues who cover national security were being assured by their Trump administration sources — albeit anonymously and with no hard evidence — that it was a lab leak and the Chinese were covering it up. We science reporters were hearing from virologists and zoologists — on the record and in great detail — that the odds were overwhelming that it was not a lab leak but an animal spillover.

Pretty clear admission that the NYT killed a story about the implausibility of the lab leak because editors believed bad-faith Trump Admin sources over actual scientists.

In the end I don’t care whether the little guy actually is good at video games.

What’s terrifying is that we care that much. Anyone who would be interested in government efficiency would not care that much about games.

Ona teda na GOP klika, co momentálně tlačí změnu dodatku/nový dodatek, tak to chce umožnit pouze prezidentům, kteří neměli dvě konsekutivní období.

Takže Obama by mohl až po další změně ústavy v dalším období🥲.

Conservatism succumbed to fascism as easily and rapidly as conservatives long (and inaccurately) warned liberalism would succumb to communism.

That’s so cool that it is from you! I quote it quite often but admittedly never looked into the source line.

To samozřejmě ne, ačkoliv otočit loď s uprchlíky ve 42 k tomu rozhodně nemá daleko.

Ice stupas of the Ladakh desert: an ingenious solution to water scarcity – a picture essay Farmers in the northern Indian region used to rely on snow and glacier meltwater, but the climate crisis is disrupting the water cycle – which means new ways of storing water are needed

For four years I’ve been co-organizing a photo story contest with my lovely org Onewater and this year I managed to push the wining story for a publication in @theguardian.com.

And that’s pretty cool.

Bluesky has something far better than a blue checkmark.

If you own a domain your own domain or eg represent an institution with one, you can use said domain as your handle.

To me this is as verified as it gets.
