This is Mertarvik, Alaska, population 300. It’s a new town. Its residents, the vast majority of whom are Yup’ik, began moving in around 2019. The move was by necessity: The nearby village where many residents previously lived, Newtok, is sinking, its riverbanks eroding. THREAD 🧵

This is a very interesting figure about how many hours with negative prices in Europe vs Australia. Its been more of a shock for Europa than for Australia, where the development has been more gradual. From Rystad Energy storage Outlook 2025: sf-asset-manager.s3.amazonaws.com/97637/392/66...

❗️🇩🇪Germany is studying how to support the production of long-range weapons in 🇺🇦Ukraine

In the Zaporizhzhia direction, pilots of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine targeted and struck a Russian fuel train.

🇩🇰 Russia’s record drone strikes prove Putin isn’t serious about peace, says Danish PM Mette Frederiksen: “He talks negotiations by day, bombs Ukraine by night.” Well. If he’s not interested and we know it — ramp up support for Ukraine, fast.

What last night was like for Khmelnytsky region. #Ukraine

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: "There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons supplied to #Ukraine,not from the British,not from the French, not from us,not from the Americans either.This means that Ukraine can now also defend itself by attacking military positions in Russia,for example

Can someone tell Trump this?: «It’s really hard to argue that America’s problem is a lack of manufacturing jobs when nearly half a million manufacturing job openings are unfilled today.» www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/o...

Trumps bill is going to drive 13 million people off health insurance and end $300 billion of spending that gives food to hungry people. Which is going to pay for roughly a quarter of tax cuts go to the top 1 percent... www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/o...

No - WHY?!! :(

One senior reflects on the Trump administration revoking Harvard University's ability to enroll international students. A federal judge has blocked the move from DHS, at least temporarily allowing Harvard students to retain their legal status.

I don’t wanna take a flight in or to the US in the near future. This is why: «Ninety-nine percent of the air traffic control facilities in the United States are operating below recommended staffing levels, a New York Times analysis has found.» www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

There should be an upper age limit for becoming a president. I would suggest that if you become older than 70 the year you could move in to the White House, you are disqualified. So that you are younger than 75 the year the president leaves the office. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...

Not sure how long I will use Duolingo anymore after they introduced energy instead of hearts. Now it’s almost impossible to use without paying… what happened to their mission «to give everyone access to a private tutor experience through technology» ? www.theverge.com/news/665315/...

There's marketing, and then there's whatever the f*** this is #Marketing #Duolingo

Duolingo changing from hearts to energy that depletes means you can no longer use the app for free for more than 5 minutes, I don’t use this for serious language learning but just a bit of messing around, now it’s unusable unless you pay for all the AI enshittification 🤣

«Former officials said that, in essence, was why the C.I.A. tried to pursue diversity: to lean into the competitive advantage that American society offers.» «This is not kumbaya» «Diversity is not a nice to have, it is a business requirement.”» www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...

Norwegian heter selskapet, men veldig norskt er det jo ikke. Synes jo det er mildt spesielt at en flyving mellom Bodø og Oslo flys av et svensk datterselskap og at det snakkes engelsk over høytaleranlegget og ikke norsk. Norwegian Air Sweden AOC, heter det.

Behovet for nye fjerntog er sterkt! Når det er satt inn et vanlig flirt tog uten lekerom eller kafé på en reise på 7 timer og dårligere seter enn vanlig (mange av setene på flirt er allerede utslitt). Så er det ganske uholdbart egentlig! Til og med kaffemaskina var ute av drift 😬

@kunnskapkristiania.bsky.social det er så utrolig svakt og gi en elev stryk fordi de laster opp en fil med understrek. Det er for det første ingen grunn til at det ikke er lov. For det andre burde dere da sikret at de får feilmelding ved slike filer. La bedre løsning! www.nrk.no/stor-oslo/sp...

Dette blir konsekvensen og skjebnen for stadig flere når det har blitt vanskeligere å få omgjort studielån til stipend. Reglene burde endres tilbake til slik de var da jeg studerte. At det kun handler om hvor mange studiepoeng en fullfører, krav på 60 studiepoeng per år www.nrk.no/buskerud/sta...

Where are the massive protests from the American people ?!

What kind of country gives visa to anyone as long as they are willing to pay enough. I think the tourism industry in the states will fall like a rock. With this government, now USA is sadly on my list of no-go countries to visit 😥

America is facing a great national test — “of our Constitution, our institutions, our citizens — as President Trump ignores courts and sabotages universities and his officers grab people off the street,” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes.

Ending the government's free, easy-to-use tax filing service means giant tax prep companies get a big boost while working families pay more.   That's what "efficiency" means to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

This mine in Brazil backed by American investors produces some of the world's hardest-to-find rare earths. It could be the West's best hedge against China's rare-earth dominance. There's one problem: It is contracted to sell all its rare earths to China. nyti.ms/3Y25EWg

«The average American typically spends about $140 preparing returns each year» In Norway the number is $0. Many don’t even have to do anything. You can log in, see if everything is correct and just press send. So easy. Look to Norway for efficiency in government

Yet another stupid decision that shows DOGE is not at all about efficiency. It’s about increase the profits for privat companies and making it harder for everyone else.

This is completely out of control. They’re weaponizing the IRS and attacking those who won’t bend to their will. The judges are upholding the Constitution. Republicans in Congress must do the same. Washington Post: “Trump administration asks IRS to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status”
