@EUCommission
2/2

Today, European authorities will take steps to restrict entry for leading figures of the US white-supremacist propaganda complex that seeks to undermine Europe’s regulatory sovereignty and democratic processes. We stand ready to expand this list if they do not reverse course.

Hello @EUCommission , I have a toot suggestion for you:

For far too long, ideologues in the United States have led organized efforts to pressure European institutions and platforms to accept American political priorities and narratives. European democracies will no longer accept these attempts to dictate our public debate from abroad. 1/2

It's Monday, Latin dies Lunae - day of Luna, goddess of the #Moon. Therefore, for #MosaicMonday a detail of a mosaic from the #Roman villa at Orbe-Boscéaz, Yverdon-les-Bains region, Switzerland, depicting Luna in a two-horse chariot.

Happy Monday to all of you!

Bon bah vu que ma carriĂšre de hackeuse n'est pas trĂšs bien partie, je vais plutĂŽt me reconvertir en faussaire d'art ! J'ai de beaux jours devant moi, non ? đŸ€Ł

Contexte : ma mÚre m'a invitée la semaine passée à voir la rétrospective sur Yayoi Kusama à Bùle. Hier quand j'ai voulu jeter cette bouteille de jus de citron, j'ai soudain vu tout son potentiel !

Der TU Berlin geht es immer noch schlecht. "Dass es sich noch nicht komplett schlimm anfĂŒhlt, hĂ€ngt damit zusammen, dass wir viele RĂŒcklagen haben – noch." war die Quintessenz vom PrĂ€sidium der UniversitĂ€t.

JĂ€hrlich werden ca. 30 Mio. € aus den RĂŒcklagen benötigt, bei steigenden KĂŒrzungen durch das Land Berlin perspektivisch mehr. SpĂ€testens 2029 sind die RĂŒcklagen aufgebraucht und die Technische UniversitĂ€t Berlin damit zahlungsunfĂ€hig.

Zu den finanziellen Herausforderungen kommt noch die noch viel dramatischere GebÀudesituation, von den exakt 100 GebÀuden haben 96% Sanierungsbedarf.

Da hilft es nicht, 15,6% der Gelder aus dem Hochschulvertrag zu kĂŒrzen. Berlin ist dabei bundesweit trauriger Spitzenreiter. In anderen BundeslĂ€ndern liegen die KĂŒrzungen "nur" bei ca. 10%.

Die UniversitĂ€t informiert regelmĂ€ĂŸig intern wie extern, u. a. hier: https://www.tu.berlin/themen/kuerzungen

I know many of you who follow me don't work in climate science, but this is the biggest story in climate right now. Breaking up NCAR makes us all less safe and is another act of self-harm that will take decades to recover from.

Trump officials to dismantle ‘global mothership’ of climate forecasting

Russell Vought, who directs the White House Office of Management and Budget, announced plans to split up the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, citing concerns about “climate alarmism.”

Watched this quite a bit as a youngster - thanks to Dad's VHS and Bergman fandom, can't believe my last watch was a couple of decades ago.
Most gorgeous black and white watch - Casablanca

@ninawillburger I wonder if the number of horses changes with the phase.
