Die Regierung Merz lässt jetzt verlauten, unsere AfD-Reise nach Russland sei gegen deutsche Interessen gerichtet.
Ich korrigiere: Über die Möglichkeiten zur Rückkehr zu günstigen russischen Rohstoffen zu sprechen ist die Definition von deutschem Interesse.
Was hingegen wirklich gegen deutsche Interessen gerichtet ist: Unseren Wohlstand weiter an Selenskyj zu verschenken.
Die nächsten Wahlen werden uns als AfD recht geben, liebe CDU!

Israel is tanking globally!

Across the 36 countries, a median of 67% of adults have an unfavorable view of Israel, while 25% have a favorable view.

In Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain, around half of adults or more say they have a very unfavorable view of the country.

Así es la esclavitud en las minas en el este del Congo, de donde sale más del 70% del cobalto del mundo, miles de esclavos diariamente extraen el mineral por apenas 2$ al dia para llenar los bolsillos a las multinacionales capitalistas.

El capitalismo que no te enseñan, así es como se sostiene el nivel de vida y de consumo en Occidente, en estas minas al menos hay 40.000 niños esclavizados que pican piedra para que Apple saque 4 modelos de Iphone cada año.

In September 2007, a bird weighing barely more than a pound lifted off from Alaska and flew across the Pacific Ocean without stopping once.

No landing.
No food.
No water.
No sleep on the ocean.

Seven days and nine nights later, she arrived in New Zealand.

Her name was E7.

She was a bar-tailed godwit — a shorebird small enough to fit comfortably in your hands.

Scientists had long suspected these birds made one of the greatest migrations on Earth, but nobody had ever tracked an individual bird across the entire journey in real time.

E7 became the proof.

Researchers fitted her with a tiny satellite transmitter before migration season began.

Then they watched in astonishment as the signals kept moving south.

And south.

And south.

More than 7,000 miles across open ocean with no break.

What makes the journey even more unbelievable is how a godwit prepares for it.

In the weeks before departure, the bird transforms itself into a living fuel tank.

E7 spent late summer eating constantly, nearly doubling her body weight in fat reserves.

Then something extraordinary happened inside her body:

Her digestive organs began shrinking.

Her stomach and intestines partially atrophied because they wouldn’t be needed during the flight.

At the same time, her heart and flight muscles grew larger and stronger to handle the nonstop effort ahead.

By the time she launched into the sky, her body had essentially rebuilt itself for one purpose:

Survival in the air.

Once E7 left Alaska, there was no room for mistakes.

A bar-tailed godwit cannot rest on the ocean like a seabird.

If she landed in the Pacific, she would drown.

So she kept flying.

Hour after hour.
Day after day.

She navigated using the sun, stars, Earth’s magnetic field, and atmospheric patterns scientists still don’t fully understand.

She rode favorable winds southward while slowly burning through the fuel stored inside her body.

And when the fat reserves finally ran low, her body began consuming its own muscle tissue to keep her alive.

After more than 200 straight hours in flight, E7 finally descended onto the mudflats of New Zealand.

She had lost over half her body weight.

Her digestive system had effectively shut down.

Her muscles were severely depleted.

But she survived.

Within hours of landing, her organs began rebuilding themselves again.

The tiny bird that crossed the Pacific started eating, recovering, and preparing for the next stage of life as though this impossible journey was simply normal.

And that’s the part scientists found most humbling.

E7 wasn’t some miraculous exception.

She was just the first godwit carrying technology that allowed humans to witness what her species had quietly been doing for thousands of years.

Every year, tiny birds rise into the Arctic sky and cross an entire ocean powered only by instinct, endurance, and a body engineered by evolution to do something that still feels almost impossible.

A one-pound bird.
Seven days nonstop.
Over 7,000 miles of open ocean.

And somehow, she knew exactly where she was going.

A massive protest is taking place right now in Budapest. Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets to protest against migration. Péter Magyar stepped out onto the balcony of his office and, from there, taunted the protesters in an outrageous manner, while they chanted in unison, “Traitor!” In 2016, 3,251,000 people voted “no” to migration in a referendum. Péter Magyar does not respect the will of the Hungarian people.

Putin: "One line of Nord Stream 2 is still intact. We could start supplying gas to Germany tomorrow – just push a button. The only obstacle is a political decision by the German government.

I was surprised to hear that Russia, this 'evil Russia', stopped supplying gas to Europe. We never stopped. Europe said no, hoping Russia would collapse. We didn't."

Ironic, isn't it. They thought they'd set the trap for us, but walked into it themselves.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Azi Berceanu — fostul șef al Gărzii Naționale de Mediu, nu vreun blogger de weekend — a explicat public ce s-a întâmplat de fapt în Portul Constanța. Și dacă nu vă e frică după ce citiți, înseamnă că n-ați înțeles.

Drona nu s-a rătăcit. A intrat printre diguri cu precizie, a executat virajuri programate și se îndrepta direct spre Oil Terminal și depozitele de azotat de amoniu de la Chimpex. Berceanu e tranșant: o traiectorie ca asta fără ghidaj activ are probabilitate aproape zero. Drona știa unde merge pentru că cineva o trimitea acolo.

Ce a oprit-o? O eroare de semnal GPS de 2-3 secunde. Drona a virat cu 30 de metri prea devreme și s-a prins de un sistem anti-poluare plutitor de la mal. 30 de metri. Dacă vira mai târziu — azotat de amoniu Chimpex, explozie în lanț, mii de tone de azotat plus mii de tone de cărbune depozitat vis-a-vis plus Oil Terminal. Forță de 1.000 de ori mai mare decât încărcătura dronei. Orașul Constanța — de nelocuit. Nu exagerare, nu scenariu SF — calcul simplu de chimie industrială.
Între timp, o navă de luptă românească era ancorată la câteva sute de metri. Prezentă fizic, absentă funcțional.

Statul a anunțat solemn: „autodetonare fără victime." Berceanu traduce fără mănuși: „Statul ne minte un pic."

Și aruncă la final întrebarea pe care toți o ocolesc: Neptun Deep — gazele noastre din Marea Neagră — deranjează simultan Rusia și SUA. Avem interese pe tabla de șah a tuturor marilor puteri și stăm la mal cu apărarea costieră a unui sat de pescari.

4 ani și jumătate de război activ în Marea Neagră. Miliarde cheltuite pe înzestrare militară. Și în ziua în care o dronă ghidată a intrat în cel mai mare port al României, ne-a salvat un GPS care a greșit cu câteva secunde.
Dacă asta e „Flancul Estic bine apărat" — Doamne ajută când vine ceva serios.

The Library of Alexandria created the first catalog of all human knowledge 2,300 years ago, and a team of fewer than 20 people just finished the modern version and made it free for the entire planet.

It is called OpenAlex. The name is not an accident.

The ancient library had the Pinakes, a catalog mapping every scroll, every author, every subject. When the library fell, the map of what humanity knew fell with it.

For the last two decades, that map existed again, but it was locked up.

Elsevier owns Scopus. Clarivate owns Web of Science. If your university could not afford the subscription, you could not see the structure of science itself. Entire countries were priced out of knowing what research existed.

OpenAlex indexes 474 million scholarly works. Every author disambiguated. Every citation traced. Every institution and funder connected. It updates with roughly 50,000 new works every day.

The whole thing is CC0. Not just free to search. Free to download, copy, sell, and build on. The API allows 100,000 requests a day without an account.

The ancient library burned and the catalog was lost for two millennia.

The new one cannot burn. Anyone can hold a copy.

The drone that detonated in the Port of Constanța was not Russian but Ukrainian, Ukrainian authorities have officially confirmed. In their statement, officials said they “did not have sufficient time” to notify Romanian counterparts in advance that the drone was programmed to self-destruct. The alert was issued only 20 minutes before the explosion, even though the drone had already been inside the port for more than four hours. Questions are now being raised about how the drone reached the port at all — navigating a journey of several hundred kilometres before squeezing through an opening just two metres wide. The Ukrainians already said it was ... Russian electronic interference.
Public confidence in Kyiv’s account is fading fast, with many dismissing the official explanation as yet another unconvincing claim from the Zelensky government.

People do not trust anymore this propaganda.

Fortunately, the drone did not explode near the adjacent fuel depot or travel the few extra kilometres to a warehouse still containing large quantities of ammonium nitrate — a highly volatile and dangerous substance.
Had it done so, the resulting blast would have triggered a disaster of catastrophic proportions.

this is just the most ridiculous AI application i've ever seen lol

a Peter Thiel-backed startup that makes AI collars for cows is now worth $2 billion

and the more I read about it the cooler it gets. here's how it works:

every cow wears a solar-powered collar that talks to a network of radio towers and an app on the farmer's phone

instead of building physical fences, the farmer draws the fence on a map in the app, and the collar keeps each cow inside that invisible line using GPS

when a cow drifts toward the edge, the collar plays a sound to steer her, and a gentle vibration tells her which way to go.

it's like how a car beeps as you back up toward a wall

the cows learn the cues in a few days

so now a rancher can move an entire herd to fresh grass by sliding the fence on a map, without driving out to open a single gate

and that same collar is reading each cow's body the whole time.

it takes five readings per second on every animal, so the AI can catch a cow that's sick, injured, ready to breed, or about to give birth before a person would ever notice walking the field

so it's basically like WHOOP for cows too lol

and they gave the AI behind it the perfect name: the Cowgorithm

it's been trained on more than 7 billion hours of real cow behavior, which is why Halter calls the data its real asset and moat.

they know what a normal cow looks like better than anyone, so they can flag the odd one out instantly

it's already on more than 1M cattle across New Zealand, Australia, and a bunch of US states.

California even used it on public land to graze cattle in patterns that clear dry brush and slow down wildfires

costs about $5 to $8 per cow per month

a job that used to mean barbed wire, gates, and driving the fields all day is now mostly 1 person on their phone
