In Antarctica, anything not on rock eventually sinks into the snow.
Neumayer Station’s solution? It rests on 16 hydraulic stilts, realigned weekly and lifted of abou 2 meters each summer to stay level above the ice.

In 2022, a Russian missile took Oleksandra Pascal's leg. This week, she stood on the podium in Romania - gold medal around her neck.
The gymnast from Odesa region was injured when Russian forces struck Zatoka. She survived. She had her leg amputated. And then she went back to the gymnastics floor.
On a prosthetic leg, she competed at the international Carla's Rhythmic Cup in Brașov - and won.
Russia tried to end her story in 2022. She had other plans.
ZELENSKYY: I don’t want to agree or disagree with Trump, because he has his own relationship with Putin. But I’ve always told him that he can’t trust Putin or his inner circle, that Putin is playing games with him. God bless, American society remains strong supporter of Ukraine.
🇫🇷 Stellaria va construire deux prototypes de réacteurs nucléaires expérimentaux à sels fondus sur le site du CEA de Cadarache.
⚛️ Alvin (2031) et Megalvin (2032) testeront une technologie à neutrons rapides où le combustible liquide se régénère seul, sans besoin de recharge pendant des décennies.
🛡️ Ces réacteurs offrent une sécurité passive exceptionnelle : en cas de surchauffe, la réaction s’arrête naturellement, tout en pouvant recycler les déchets nucléaires et utiliser l’uranium 238 abondant en France.
📅 La demande d’autorisation a été déposée auprès de l’ASN en décembre 2025, avec un début des travaux prévu en 2029 pour un coût de 200 à 250 millions d’euros.
🌍 Ce projet ambitieux, soutenu par le CEA, a l’objectif d’une centrale de 230 MW d’ici 2035.

Possibly the most stupid quote in a while….
These media whores who don’t speak the language suddenly become experts on Russian culture after a few days on a carefully managed, all-expenses-paid PR tour.
Try talking to the families of the 1.3 million Russian casualties. Try speaking to political prisoners, independent journalists, or the thousands of Ukrainians tortured, deported, and imprisoned by the state they’re praising.
Frankly, Russia is the most institutionalised racist place I’ve ever been. Me thinks she was somewhat sheltered from that.
KLITSCHKO: What I cannot forget since 2014 is that Polish people and Poland as a country have always been supportive of Ukraine at different stages.
I know there are certain complications regarding our mutual history, but come on, we are modern nations and neighbors.
We've been very close to each other throughout our history. There've been negative moments, but mostly positive ones.
I just hope that we will clear things up and build our common home, Europe, together, shoulder to shoulder, as we fight against evil in our homeland during this war.
"Ce rejet qui nous guette lors des manifestations culturelles et des festivals devient au fur et à mesure un festival du rejet. Ne l’appelez pas antisémitisme. Il se nomme progrès." @PKlugman
The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%.

I’m here in Paris to meet with lawmakers and activists to demand that President Macron and the French government stop supporting dictatorships that torture, oppress, and kill their own people. Stop electing the Islamic Regime in Iran to UN human rights bodies.
