Some EU countries stopped issuing visas to Belarusians. I understand the challenges many embassies and consulates are facing in #Belarus. But please, help Belarusians. Many of them have to flee the country. They are against Lukashenko and war and need to escape repressions

Nice individual initiative (academic domain)

Protests reaching a critical mass in Russia is the biggest hope to change the government and end the conflict.

St. Petersburg against the war

[Michael Bang Petersen @M_B_Petersen]

Today, Denmark lifted *all* restrictions, while cases are soaring.

The international reaction: Disbelief.

I am leading the largest Danish project on pandemic behavior & I am advising the gov.

Here is why Danes are still supportive. And what may be learned from this.

Visa cancelled for #Djokovic.

Typical sneaky last minute move by Immigration to do it on a Friday evening.

Great visual representation of 180+ cognitive biases, and a good classification attempt

Open source accounting of all public organizations is something that would definitely improve people's lives, by reducing wasteful investments and building more trust

@DrEliDavid If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.

@F_Ciotti The issue is deeper than the number of game/screen hours. The problem will immediately transmute into another addiction. +if you just forbid something to a teenager, especially in this way, you get "interesting" side effects, and be sure he will do it more later in life...

@stephenkinsella How to waste resources, using theory and data.

@F_Ciotti + Chrome uses way more CPU than Mozilla if you are on a Mac

Is NSA leaker @Snowden a traitor... or a hero?

I once was unsure. He told the world what the NSA was doing. Did that make us less safe?

But now that I've done my research, I’m convinced Snowden got the bad deal. Government liars largely won:

[Adam Levai @LevaiAdam]

After 7-years (while having enormous backlash from politicians and media as a traitor) the US court recognized NSA’s bulk collection of Americans’ phone records violated the constitution and credited Snowden's individual behavior - happy to see this miracle happen.
