Band of Brothers, a new epic WWII miniseries, premieres on HBO.

With a budget of $125 million, it is the most-expensive television miniseries ever made.

@danushman @John_ACW @levelsio how do you benefit from tech innovation in a way that a regular European doesn’t? even though most cool tech products come from US, we can still take advantage of them living here

2023 has been a very exciting year. That’s a big problem. The word “exciting” is the most misunderstood word in today’s English. When you meet someone new, it is common to say “I am so excited to meet you”. When you visit a new place, you say “I am excited to be here”. When you want to praise an idea you say “what an exciting idea”. Apparently, people think “excited” means happy, and excitement is always good for us. But excitement can sometimes be the opposite of happiness. Negative emotions like outrage and fear greatly excite people. When the body senses danger, the nerves flash emergency messages, the neurons fire rapidly, and the whole body is excited. In 2023 the entire world has been far too excited. Nowhere is the epidemic of excitement more evident than in politics. The world is flooded with exciting politicians who create exciting news. We desperately need more boring politicians. To flourish, humans certainly need to be excited sometimes – about people, places, and ideas – but we also need to wind down. Next time you meet someone, try saying “I am relaxed to meet you”. I hope 2024 will be a relaxing year.

@IoanaAnca95 @Piticigratis “In 2020, 54% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides (24,292), while 43% were murders (19,384), according to the CDC. “

“În cazul României, în 2020, 1.646 de persoane și-au pierdut viața într-un accident rutier, ceea ce reprezintă o scădere de 12% față de 2019..”

Using a modern 80-year lifetime as a unit, only 150 lifetimes ago, the Americas were untouched by people. The first human set foot in Europe only 500 lifetimes ago. 1,200 lifetimes ago we only lived in Africa. Humans are so new.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

@Ade_linPetrisor E ciudat cum cineva care a vazut atat de multe zone afectate de razboi gandeste in felul asta despre cineva care nu vrea sa ia parte la unul.

Loialitatea unora e fata de familie si de prieteni, nu pentru o bucata de pamant.

@SamHarrisOrg would love to hear a conversation with @FareedZakaria

[🦋/r/netsec || @netsec.bsky.social @r_netsec]

Russia’s foreign minister Lavrov said negotiations can begin once Russia “restores democratic order” in Ukraine.

As Russian troops neared Kyiv, Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko was asked to respond.

He had a pretty clear answer.

Russia has every right to protect itself against Ukraine's threats to defend itself.
