These people are first and foremost mad about neighborhood change. This is why I think Sonja Trauss’ moderately wacky idea of having funerals for buildings and businesses is kind of brilliant.

In 1985's Red Sonja, what could have been a thrilling story of female empowerment gets bogged down by rampant misogyny, homophobia, and boring clichés that makes it feel like bad Conan fanfiction. Does the film have any redeeming qualities?

Guten Abend liebe Sonja 🤧
Ich habe mir eine Erkältung zugezogen, wäää, schon lange nicht mehr gehabt. Das Aquafit für morgen habe ich abgesagt. Ich schlottere ein bisschen vor mich hin. Zum Glück muss ich heute nichts tun.
Was hast du gemacht?

It’s one of the most powerful positions in L.A. city government and most don’t know what it does.

Sonja Sharp & I are here to get you ready for the L.A. city attorney's race: L.A. Deputy D.A. John McKinney and Deputy A.G. Marissa Roy

This week's story of adoptee abuse and depravation. Will anyone, anyone, who placed a child with a rapist adopter face any legal or even job consequence? Adoptees are not considered fully human--the are chattel. And adopters frequently do unspeakable crimes against them. local12.com/news/nation-...
Father accused of impregnating adopted daughter, sex abuse, starvation to plead guilty
The man's ex-wife, Sonja Stafford, is also facing charges, accused of severe physical abuse and neglect.

🧠🗣️ #SNL2026 Day 2 kickoff!

NCCR Evolving Language panel with Yannick Becker, Richard Hahnloser, Sonja Katz & Paul Middlebrooks 🎙️

💬 How did its neural architecture evolve? What can animal models teach us? How do culture & social complexity shape language? 🌍🧠

Thank you for the rich discussions

Hallo Sonja,
seid ihr dann bei euch in der Gegend unterwegs oder nutzt ihr ausschließlich Naturistensteig wie z.B der im Harz.
Liebe Grüße

Danke Sonja und ich wünsche dir einen schönen Start in den Oktober.
Hier ist es bewölkt, aber trocken.
So ein sexy Anblick

Nightjars trade off cruising speed efficiency for hovering capabilities and link upstroke thrust production with restricted wing folding @plosbiology.org
Nightjars trade off cruising speed efficiency for hovering capabilities and link upstroke thrust production with restricted wing folding
by L. Christoffer Johansson, Gabriel Norevik, Sonja Friman, Anders Hedenström The European nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) is a long-distance migrant that also uses slow, hovering, flight as part of its feeding ecology. This reflects complex tradeoffs in aerodynamic mechanisms and makes studies of their flight performance, in relation to their wing shape, particularly interesting. Here we reveal, using wake visualization and aerodynamic measurements of nightjars flying in a wind tunnel, a unique double tip vortex phenomenon at cruising speeds. This correlates with reduced span efficiency at these flight speeds, suggesting relatively high costs of generating lift. Our interpretation is that the nightjar’s broad, slotted wing tip shape promotes lift during slow flight while incurring reduced aerodynamic efficiency at faster speeds. In addition, we found outer wing upstroke thrust generation during cruising flight—a characteristic previously attributed to bats and hummingbirds—in nightjars. This challenges an existing paradigm that considers an active upstroke to primarily add weight support in birds. Our kinematic analysis suggests this phenomenon may stem from constraints on wing folding during the upstroke, something that may apply generally to flapping flight. Our results highlight the tradeoffs seen in animals engaged in multiple costly behaviors with different aerodynamics optimization criteria based on ecological demands and offer potential solutions applicable in bioinspired engineering.

liebe Sonja, ganz herzlichen Dank..!
wir haben da in Emmenbrücke einen pens.Lehrer-Club, koch u. esswütiger Freunde.., ich bin nächstes Mal dran, dann mache ich denen dieses Dessert nach deinem Rezept..! 🙏👍👋

That's such an interesting point, Sonja! It really highlights how crucial those early stages are for language learning. It makes you wonder how much we miss out on if we start too late! 🐦

Q: what can we learn about critical periods and second language acquisition? Richard: birds find it hard to move away/shift from a syllable, they would have to learn a new syllable. Sonja: infants are sensitive to speech even before they are able make speech and perceiving rhythm helps learning.
October 1, 2026 at 8:40 AM
Yannick: orangutans can suppress their alarm calls, so the capacity for inhibition is present there as well.
Sonja: it's about the capacity to adapt and anticipate in a communicative context.
Richard: the storage for songbirds is redundantly stored, also after lesioning
October 1, 2026 at 8:32 AM
Other comment from the audience: There are a lot of aspects of human behaviour that are unique to humans. Richard: this is cumulative culture. Sonja: socialization might be the driving factor
October 1, 2026 at 8:11 AM
Q: is vocal learning relevant to sign language?
Richard: most vocal learners live in a 3D world (except elephants and humans) - e.g. zebra finches.
Sonja: the overlap might in the feedback loop and how to communicate
October 1, 2026 at 8:04 AM
A question from the audience: "what is evolutionary origins for the neural architectures for language?"
Sonja: cerebellar crux I and II might have driven cortical changes in sensorimotor systems that underlie language. But there are other explanations.
October 1, 2026 at 8:04 AM
Sonja: definitions should be defined experimentally. Do we study language with metacognitive tasks or error processing? How do we operationalize?
