What a shortsighted and ill informed comment to make. Structures destroyed and defunded by Trump
Et al will take a long time, money, investment, and prioritisation (vs other stuff) to build up over many years if ever. Human knowledge, skills, infrastructure all lost

I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause.

That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

Ich werde jetzt hier einen Thread aufmachen, in dem ich nach und nach ganz viele kurze Geigenaufnahmen der letzten 100 Jahre poste, von denen ich denke, dass sie den Unterschied von sehr gut gespielt zu extrem außerirdisch gut gespielt einfach mühelos deutlich werden lassen. Es geht los

Yesterday the Telegraph reported on my comments about air conditioning.

The comment section is quite something. I have apparently become a hero of the anti net zero crowd by saying something what I think is sensible about air con.

Allow me to point out three ironies in this 🧵

The last 10 years in a nutshell:

Nazi: I’m a Nazi!

Media: Outspoken Man Touts Unconventional Ideas

Nazi: No, I’m just a Nazi.

Media: Meet the Dapper White Nationalist Who—

Nazi: No, seriously! I’m quoting Mein Kampf! I love Hitler!

Media: Why Both Sides Have an Extremist Problem.

Zum Muttertag ein Thread über die Verhöhnung der Mütter 1945 bis 1970er - also in Zeiten, in denen die "Hausfrau und Mutter" als gesellschaftliche Norm galt. Es gilt für die Hausfrauen auch, was für alle anderen Frauen gilt: Egal, was sie machen, wie sie es machen, es ist iwie falsch.

It's Mother's Day. Here's to every single one of us who is a mum, was a mum, wanted to be a mum, who lost their mum, who deserved a better mum, who has the best mum, who wishes they'd known their mum.

Be kind to yourselves today.

i’ve come to believe that we will never solve the literacy crisis by talking about reading as “watering the garden of your mind” or whatever. books are, and have always been, the favored medium of God’s purest freaks and degenerates. Reading isn’t a salad. If you’re doing it right, it’s a vice.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Gute Nacht mit Mascha Kaléko:

Flicke heiter den Zaun
und auch die Glocke am Tor.
Die Wunde in dir halte wach
unter dem Dach im Einstweilen.
Zerreiss deine Pläne. Sei klug
und halte dich an Wunder.
Sie sind lang schon verzeichnet
im grossen Plan.
Jage die Ängste fort
und die Angst vor den Ängsten.
Ein See, schneebedeckte Büsche und Bäume stehen am Ufer und spiegeln sich.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Rita Süssmuth war die Frau, die der Union lange vor Merkel ein weibliches Gesicht gab.
Die Helmuth Kohl die Stirn bot.
Die als Gesundheitsministerin in der HIV/AIDS-Krise klug und menschlich handelte.
Die einen BP Heitmann verhinderte.
Für alles das und so vieles mehr - Danke! 🖤
Rita Süssmuth: Ex-Bundestagspräsidentin gestorben
In der Ära Kohl stand sie fast zehn Jahre lang an der Spitze des Bundestags. Nun ist Rita Süssmuth tot. Die Christdemokratin starb im Alter von 88 Jahren.

BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.
1. 1 am a 29-year-old resident of the lin Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have lived in Minneapolis since 2024, when I moved to the city to begin my medical residency. I am a licensed pediatrician, and I have been practicing pediatric medicine in the city since I moved here. 2. On January 24, 2026, at approximately 9:00 am CST, I was awoken by the sound of cars honking and whistles blowing. Shortly after I awoke, I heard screaming from outside my window. I saw several ICE agents and civilians yelling at each other. 3. One civilian was standing in front of a parked car on the side of the road. I saw him yelling at the ICE agents, but I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind 4. Suddenly, an ICE agent shoved him to the ground. My view of the altercation was partially obstructed, but after a few seconds, I saw at least four ICE agents point guns at the man. I then saw the agents shoot the man at least six or seven times. 5. Initially, I was stunned. From what I could see from my apartment, there was absolutely no need for any violence, let alone lethal force by multiple officers. I immediately put on my boots and coat, ran outside, and approached ICE agents who were near the victim. 6. The scene was chaotic. Many civilians were screaming and honking. Over the noise, I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. 7. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. They repeatedly asked me for my physician's license, which I obviously didn't have. But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, and I could tell that the victim was in critical condition. I insisted that the agents let me assess him. Normally, I would not have been so persistent, but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him. 8. Finally, one agent agreed to let me assess the victim. He patted me down to "make sure I didn't have a weapon" and then let me approach the victim. 9. As I approached, I saw that the victim was lying on his side and was surrounded by several ICE agents. I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice. Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds. 10.1 asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they said they did not know. I then asked the agents to make space so I could assess the victim. 11. The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back. I asked the ICE agents to turn the victim from his side to his back. From that position, I saw an additional gunshot wound on the victim's upper left chest and another possible gunshot wound on his neck. 12. I checked for a pulse, but I did not feel one. I immediately began CPR. Shortly after I started compressions, EMS personnel arrived and took over. 13.1 remained at the scene for about five more minutes, but protesters began to gather and the situation seemed to be escalating, so I left and returned to my apartment. 14. When I returned to my apartment, I was extremely distraught. I was sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. Eventually, I called my sister, who lives in a nearby suburb. I called her for comfort and because I did not feel safe in my apartment; I wanted to see if I could stay with her for the day and maybe even a few days. 15.1 also sought advice from a friend who works for the City of Minneapolis. He recommended that I shelter in place because the situation outside my apartment was so dangerous. I was going to follow his advice, but then ICE agents deployed tear gas on the crowd that had gathered below, and the tear gas began seeping into my apartment.
