“In all, the US has spent just 0.19 per cent of GDP on military assistance for Ukraine... In return, it has gained the humiliation of what was once thought to be a powerful enemy and the vindication of the ideals of liberal democracy, for which Ukrainians are fighting and the US once fought.”

"Better Man" (Robbie Williams' monkey movie) is really good, better than I thought. We were surprised at first that not many people were in the movie theater but then again, the target group must be at least 45+... Why would someone in their 20s watch a Robbie Williams biopic?

Rarely has a British tabloid been so right.

Donald Trump's incredible reversal of the role of perpetrator and victim in relation to Russia's three-year-long war of aggression against Ukraine must finally shake up the European states. They need to quickly agree on a security doctrine for Europe independent from the U.S. and to act accordingly.

Another word for "regulation" is... "consumer protection" "environmental protection" "Regulation" means your milk is safe. "Regulation" means toys that harm your babies are removed from the shelves. "Regulation" means chemical companies can't dump waste in your river.

-> TRUMP "A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It's a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other kinds of insecurity." ~ Jimmy Carter

The trouble with all this of course is that France was right

Habe mal den #wahlomat durchgespielt. Ergebnis hat mich überrascht und nicht überzeugt. Früher hat er mich mehr überzeugt...

Bravo la #France ! Si cela se confirme sur toute l’année, Tesla fera 50% moins de vente en Europe, le court de l’action va s’effondrer et Musk ne sera plus aussi puissant ... je connais des gens qui ont honte d’avoir une Tesla, d’autres qui jurent ne jamais acheter cette marque et c’est aux US

Mal was Positives 🥰 "Innerhalb weniger Nächte errichteten sie Dämme und Teiche, die genau das taten, was die Umweltbehörden geplant hatten – nur eben ohne Bauantrag. «Die Biber 🦫 haben genau das gemacht, was wir in mühseliger Bürokratie geplant hatten. Und sie haben es kostenlos erledigt»"

Great article and an ode to the German language. 🇩🇪

I received a handmade giant cookie from a student yesterday. 😍 Cookie "painting/art" is apparently a Ukrainian specialty. I was especially moved as I had only started this class 10 days earlier.

I have a question: I bought a laser printer in 2015. In 2017 I had to buy a new toner cartridge. Now it's almost empty again. A new cartridge costs 75€, a new printer 110€. Should I buy a new cartridge and hope the printer survives until 2032(!) or buy a new printer? (And yes, I don't print a lot.)

I haven't noticed this in myself, but remember a friend with whom I normally spoke English (which she was learning), and when we switched to French she sounded less polite and her voice changed, too. Was weird.

Really "merde" et la victoire de la stupidité absolue.

This is the first time I've seen a "saucisson"- themed advent calendar... I know they make them for literally everything nowadays, but who is actually going to buy around 300g of saucisson sec for 30 euros???

Federal guidance on the pitfalls of ultraprocessed foods, which likely play a key role in the US obesity epidemic, isn’t yet available. Here’s what’s at stake.

@stutheeditor.bsky.social I couldn't figure out how to reply with a post to your post... (I think you know which one I mean).
