For this week's #ThursdayFilmRec 🗃️🎥🍿🎬 #HATM
Watch or (Rewatch) "The Mortal Storm" (1940) - Dir. Frank Borzage, about the rise of Nazism (starring Jimmy Stewart & Margaret Sullavan).
It so infuriated Joseph Goebbels that he banned it in Germany & also all MGM films.

Just watched the video of what looks to be another ICE murder in Minneapolis and thinking again of the incredible bravery of these protestors, facing out of control armed paramilitaries with only whistles and phone cameras.

Twenty-five years ago, Wikipedia was an unlikely idea: a place where anyone could share free knowledge.
Today, it’s one of the most visited sites on Earth, not powered by corporate ads, but by people.

Hiver 1434-1435 à Paris.
Selon le Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris, il gela à partir du 30 novembre et sans discontinuer pendant 3 mois et il neigea pendant 40 jours d'affilée. Il y avait tant de neige que la place de Grève ne suffisait pas pour stocker celle que l'on dégageait.
Another Caribbean story. In 1802, the French military kidnapped the most prominent leader of the Haitian Revolution Toussaint Louverture, who was deported to France and died in prison at Fort de Joux in 1803.

Time series of global temperature anomalies from 1980 to present with predictions for 2025 (made in Dec 2024), and 2026, along with the YTD estimate for the 2025 (with only one month to go).
Scientists are supposed to be happy when their predictions are skillful, right?
Why do I not feel happy?

Congratulations, @tjeerdroyaards.com, on winning the European Cartoon Award 2025. A powerful cartoon that lays bare how the 'red line' became nothing more than a blood trail drawn, crossed, and ignored by the international community in defense of Israeli impunity.

Soil scientists the world over need to take a look! Could this also be a quantum leap in our ability to estimate nitrous oxide emissions from soils at scale, which are currently basically guesstimates?

OTD in 1994 The Budapest Memorandum was signed. It remains the most spectacular waste of paper, ink, and geopolitical optimism in the history of humankind.
The deal was simple: Ukraine disarms. Russia, the UK, and the USA promised, in return, to guarantee our security and territorial integrity.
