Ich hab keine Ahnung wie man das Berliner Urteil einordnen soll/muss. Ob die Bundesregierung Recht hat oder nicht. Aber die Art wie jetzt von vielen die Justiz oder einzelne Richter angegangen/delegitimiert werden, ist nicht weit von dem entfernt was gerade in den USA passiert.

While the US’ hard power was feared or admired around the world, it was really its soft power that was the envy of the world. Much harder to build, and so influential. Seeing it being dismantled in this way is quite something.

I find it striking how much #chemistry changed over the last 25 years. When I was at university it was mostly the art of the possible. Today it's about finding ways to make even the most incredible thing happen. I just came across this study about a Carbene that actually forms in water. Amazing!

It is difficult to convey how monumentally idiotic Trump’s tariffs are. Allow me to try. Let’s begin with Adam Smith. In the 200 years prior to Smith’s 1776 “Wealth of Nations” Mercantilism was the dominant view of trade.

Scoop: The Washington Post recently—and quietly—removed its "Democracy Dies in Darkness" slogan from the opening sequence of its app, a notable change given Jeff Bezos once insisted it always appear alongside the logo. It also no longer appears atop its mobile site. www.status.news/p/washington...

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America: 1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI 2) kill universities 3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub 4) empty the cities 5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen
