Time to remember Estonian ingenious “pavilion” at the Venice Architecture biennale of 2008 — a gas pipe connecting Russian and German pavilions. Just incredible that both countries and organisers accepted it. Nord Sream was always a disgrace. https://t.co/5y1ansa67n

Over the last 10,000 years humans destroyed a third of the planet’s forests.

Das sind heute aufgenommene Bilder der Flüchtlingsunterkünfte auf Lesbos. Die EU muss die Menschen endlich evakuieren und menschenrechtskonform unterbringen. Die Bundesregierung sollte öst Gemeinden und NGOs endlich erlauben, Menschen Perspektiven zurückzugeben.

#DeepFake Alert!

I've been digging through various propaganda and conspiracy websites (so you don't have to) and finding a surprisingly large number of deep fake appearances of Mr. Bіden.

Today is #InternetDay… To mark this auspicious occasion, here’s David Bowie speaking to Jeremy Paxman in 1999 about the "unimaginable" effects on society it was going to have.
