Supporting Ukraine is a once-in-a-generation chance to make the world safer. Ending that support is recklessness for which we will suffer in all the conflicts that the Ukrainians are preventing or making less likely. Let us help those who help us.

It's official: #Estonia has legalised marriage equality. We join other Nordic nations with this historic decision.

I'm proud of my country. We're building a society where everyone’s rights are respected and people can love freely.

The decision will enter into force from 2024.

#OTD in 1945, the Soviets apparently "liberated" Warsaw. What they actually did was wait till the last few Germans left & then entered the empty, destroyed, and completely looted city. They then quickly imposed their own puppet government & carried on raping & looting their way

Well this paper is fun. He downloads thousands of econ seminars from YouTube. Figures out range of human voice, identifies women vs men. Discovers that women experience more interruptions. More senior presenters: less interruptions (1/2)
