An diesem Donnerstag gibts in #HH schon #Zeugnisse. Wir Eltern haben unseren 3 Kindern vorab eins ausgestellt - die haben das super gemacht in diesen Zeiten! (credits für die Idee aus dem letzten Jahr: @LenaRogl - das hab ich mir gemerkt).
Sonntagmorgen in der Schweiz: im 7:58 beginnen Rammarbeiten für den Ausbau der Zugstrecke in unserer Nähe. Gestern auf der A13 in Graubünden waren die gröbsten Schäden nach Unwettern vor einigen Wochen weitestgehend behoben. Chapeau.

Aus unbekannter Ursache sind die Telefonnetze der @PolizeiHamburg und #FeuerwehrHH zur Zeit von einer technischen Störung betroffen. Ein- und ausgehende externe Gespräche können nicht in jedem Fall geführt werden. Die Notrufe von Feuerwehr und Polizei sind zum Teil betroffen.
Jedes Jahr am 27. Januar fährt in Warschau eine leere alte Straßenbahn entlang des ehemal. Warschauer Ghettos. Sie nimmt keine Passagiere mit, um an die zu erinnern, die damals keine Straßenbahn mehr benutzen durften und später deportiert u ermordet wurden. #HolocaustMemorialDay
Ein Blick auf die aktuelle #Covid Lage und akute #Atemwegserkrankungen. Deutlicher Anstieg im #Abwassermonitoring, aber hier zählt nur der Trend, nicht der Absolutwert (zuviel unterschiedliche Einflussfaktoren). Entscheidend ist die Krankheitslast der Bevölkerung.
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
For 223 straight days, Earth's sea surface temperatures have been at all-time record warm levels.

An unprecedented amount of oceanic warmth never seen before in modern history.
