It's Monday. If you hate your job and think it's pointless, consider that at least you don't work for the Belarusian election commission.

Like... I get why it happens... But by God does it hurt.

I've always had an SSD for my old files, which I can always look back at.

Difficult if one has large files, though :c

Saydnaya Prison: Mapping the Assads' 'human slaughterhouse' Thousands of people have been executed and tortured in the secretive prison since the 1980s.

Just a reminder that there were people claiming Syrian refugees were 'economic migrants' and it was perfectly safe for them to go back... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Har netop hørt københavnere brokke sig over, at DR er for blåt, samtidig med at deres samtale var fyldt med akademikerbashing.

Spotify Wrapped is terrible. Just use Last.FM and then you have a complete record of everything you've ever listened to

MPs have backed Sarah Olney’s bill on proportional representation. This is a historic moment in the campaign for a fairer voting system.



Today, as we have done for a century, Liberal Democrats are leading the fight for fair votes and making sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy.

The potential memes are plentiful. Yoon has so little going for him🙃

Haha the martial law and potential coup attempt was just a joke, right guys??

Jeg er umuligt den eneste, der ville ønske, at folk sad 3 på en række i S-toget, som ment af DSB

Ja, et meget hovedstadsagtigt problem

Syrian rebels are trolling me that they re-captured Aleppo in 3 days and I can't get Kiev after more than a 1000.

I remain a master strategist.

Commission plans to slash EU embassy staff around the world Faced with a budget squeeze, the bloc wants to cut back staff and focus on countries “where the EU’s primary interests lie.”

Ursula! The world is on fire! We're losing diplomatic capabilities around the world! What must we do?

Ursula: I've got a plan, don't worry about it:)

Just 22 polling stations are remaining, with 7 of these remaining inside Bucharest.

The difference between Lasconi and Ciolacu has lessened to <800 votes

Lasconi seems likely to pass Ciolacu, as the polling booths remaining are primarily located within Bucharest.

Bucharest overall in this election has voted ~40% for Lasconi

The election in Romania is actually proving to be one of the most interesting ones in recent times. With just 0.13% left to count, the difference between Lasconi (USR) and Ciolacu (PSD) is less than 1k votes

So anyways, Romanian round 1 went poorly - anyone have any țuică?

Orbis - basically google maps but for the Roman Empire - remains one of the best things on the internet.

This is what we need to spend more time on - it's incredibly interesting, I must admit

Linear wetland features identified in remote sensing data as probable fish-trapping facilities from areas across the Maya Lowlands. An overview map (top) with inset maps below showing linear channels identified in (A) the Candelaria and neighboring San Pedro Drainage, (B) the Rio Hondo and Bacalar, and (C) the New River and Western Lagoon in the CTWS (all images courtesy of the BREA project).

Abstract Multiproxy data collected from the largest inland wetland in Belize, Central America, demonstrate the presence of large-scale pre-Columbian fish-trapping facilities built by Late Archaic hunter-gatherer-fishers, which continued to be used by their Maya descendants during Formative times (approximately 2000 BCE to 200 CE). This is the earliest large-scale Archaic fish-trapping facility recorded in ancient Mesoamerica. We suggest that such landscape-scale intensification may have been a response to long-term climate disturbance recorded between 2200 and 1900 BCE. Agricultural intensification after 2000 BCE has been credited for supporting the rise of pre-Columbian civilizations in Formative Mesoamerica, but we suggest that some groups relied more heavily on the mass harvesting of aquatic resources. We argue that such early intensification of aquatic food production offered a high value subsistence strategy that was instrumental in the emergence of Formative period sedentarism and the development of complexity among pre-Columbian civilizations like the Maya.

Mayan civilization may have grown thanks to bulk fishing. Using drones, archaeologists have mapped dozens of 4,000 year-old fish-trapping facilities in the rivers of Belize. Look at this! Ancient people could have fed a population of over 10K with this complex system. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Du virker som sådan som en rigtig familiefar. At have det i sin bio er blot bekræftende i den forstand 💜

Sorpresa en las exit polls de las presidenciales de Rumanía: La candidata liberal sería la más votada por encima de la ultraderecha y la derecha:

CURS / CIRA

🔴 Ciolacu (PSD): 25% / 25%
🟠 Lasconi (USR): 18% / 18%
⚪ Georgescu (Ind): 16% / 16%
⚫ Simion (AUR): 14% / 15%
🟡 Ciucă (PNL): 13% / 14%

I have solved devaluation of Ruble.

I remain a master strategist.

I can't possibly be the only one to look at the Romanian presidential elections this evening and be positively surprised at USR's support.

A second round between PSD and USR would be refreshing

Infowars is likely to see an uptick in viewers starting Jan👀

Bluesky ekspanderer vildsomt, men de blå sommerfugle forsvinder fra Danmark. Her ændringer i % i udbredelse fra 1990 til 2020. Kun skovblåfugl er i fremgang; den kan godt lide haver og parker. Almindelig er stadig almindelig, men alle de andre... 😢 [DEL gerne] #dknatur #biodiversitet

Soon enough the stans shall join the sky and we can all have fun here (maybe) 👀

Det resterende af Politico's forside er desværre blot så... Kedelig :c

It's a fairly fun tale ngl

Forsøgsordningen med skolemad er en fantastisk begyndelse, der vil give familier et større overblik om morgenen samt give en skattelettelse i bunden af samfundet.

Det kan kun være positivt:)

The fact that the @financialtimes.com have nearly reached 200k followers is tremendous. I'm in awe

(we love the FT and Economist)

I honestly don't mind you being around - shall we keep it in a civil tone looking forward? It'd be a true wonder💜

Both Dems and Reps make mistakes and it's important to highlight when it happens, so I'm happy to hear of your words
