Personally, I think taking away a stretch of land from a noble's estate and adding it to the land of the community should not be considered "theft" but an act of class justice.

Russian shell injured Danylo Rak's mom and destroyed their home in Chernihiv region.

To earn money for her treatment, Danylo brought milk for sale to Chernihiv on his bike. Volunteers learned about the family's story and helped Liudmyla, the mom, to get treatment in Germany.…

Priggie called KADYROV'S BLUFF 😂

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the financier of the Wagner Private Military Company, stated by May 10 he would hand over his mercenaries' positions in the city of Bakhmut to Kadyrovites, the troops of Ramzan Kadyrov, Head of the Chechen Republic, subordinated to Russia’s Armed Forces.

A right-moving #supercell is chewed up by a squall line in southern #Germany, yesterday. The cell first benefited from orographically induced shear in the area of the Ostalb, then later from favorable conditions in the near storm environment of the approaching line.

A good example that supercells can develop specifically in structured terrain even in apparently rather undynamic initial situations.

The first large burning came on 6 May 1933. The German Student Union made an organised attack on Magnus Hirschfeld's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (roughly: Institute of Sex Research). Its library and archives of around 20,000 books and journals were publicly hauled out and burned in the street. 1/2

bullivant,

Its collection included unique works on intersexuality, homosexuality, and transgender topics. It's believed that Dora Richter, the first transgender woman known to have undergone sex reassignment surgery (by doctors at the institute), may have been killed during the attack.

How far are we from seeing a repeat in Florida and other red states? 2/2

Russian Telegram channels publish a video of Wagner PMC reportely using forbidden incendiary rockets of Grad MLRS ok the area of Bakhmut where the Ukrainian Army is located.

I cannot confirm whether the video is authentic.

FYI: "Natural gas consumption in #Germany decreased significantly during the 2022 energy crisis, according to a study by the Hertie School’s Centre for Sustainability. Across private households, industry and power stations, gas consumption fell by an extraordinary 23 percent in the second half of 2022" https://www.hertie-school.org/en/news/detail/content/energy-crisis-gas-savings-in-germany-not-only-due-to-weather-fluctuation

This is one of the good things about #Germany, IMHO. It was clearly communicated by the government, especially minister of economics, Habeck, that we had to collectively reduce natural gas consumption by 20% to make it through the winter. And while in public there was a loud and polarised discussion, the people and companies DID save more than 20%. Impressive! And tells you that you can sometimes ignore the clickbait media and trust your fellow citizens. I like!

The fun nuance is that Majohn / Moonman directly ripped off the Lamy's slogan, only changed the country name from Germany 🇩🇪 to China 🇨🇳 😂😄

(The second photo is the box I received Majohn T5 with today)

HANDS OFF MY FLAG DRUNK IVAN!!!

Ukrainians protect their flag! A Russian stole a Ukrainian flag, but, like Putin, found out first hand that Ukraine will not stand for it!

The event was at a conference in Ankara Turkey 4/5/23

Malevolent spirits can haunt even churches.

All it requires to fall into their power is a minor act of negligence...

A massive GPS glitch currently in Moscow.

Car-sharing cars and scooters are shown floating in the river, taxis are being called to the other side of the city, and pedestrian navigation is working intermittently.

All because the police are jamming GPS signal for security purposes.

Fed rate hikes aren't simply a dial that controls inflation.

They're more like a Rube Goldberg machine—slowing the economy so much that workers lose jobs and pay until (maybe, just maybe) prices drop.

This is a bad way to fight inflation that's largely driven by price gouging.

I think I should add that except for (pseudo-)#Republicans, this is NOT "#socialism" but 20th "#SocialDemocracy", or even 19th century IMPERIAL policy (Chancelor #Bismarck, health and accident insurances, 1883 +1884, anounced by his Majesty, Emperor William I. of #Germany in 1881)*.

Wake up to the 21st century, #GOP!
You are an anachronism, a travesty, and a caricature of feudal #England...and a me-too of really poor and undignified quality at that...
