Veränderung des Golfstroms kündigt Kollaps einer großen Meeresströmung an Neue Simulationen zeigen, dass der Golfstrom Jahrzehnte vor dem Versiegen der Fernwärme im Atlantik seinen Pfad schlagartig ändert – ein Prozess, der bereits begonnen hat

"Eine stark geschwächte oder gar völlig zusammengebrochene AMOC hätte gravierende Folgen: Europa würde sich merklich abkühlen, Niederschlagsmuster würden sich verschieben und Meeresspiegel an der Ostküste Nordamerikas würden zusätzlich steigen."

Hoffen wir, dass bald Rechts- wie Linksextremisten (und deren Parteien) mit weniger Toleranz in Demokratien rechnen müssen.

Images published by Iranian state media show remnants of a US Tomahawk missile at a girls’ school in Minab.
It’s not possible to independently verify the provenance of the remnants from this imagery alone. But Bellingcat previously detailed how a Tomahawk missile hit a structure next to the school.

Murphy: “I think it’s likely the U.S. carried out this attack on this school — I think it's unforgivable under any circumstances, but the fact that this was one of our 1st targeting decisions, that this mistake was made on the 1st day of war — I think speaks to the incompetence of our leadership”

Let's hope one day even psychology research is able to differentiate LLMs from AI, and act accordingly. Specifically when it comes to defining lay people, experts and/or at least experienced... Maybe then they and AI experts too, learn that statistical inference is nowhere near scientific inference

Sure, like there is also very intelligent and subtle ways of bullying or even flirting. But these are very rare events in daily life... My experience is like much more than 80% of pop science and journalism are close to wet-streets-cause-rain-stories...

Hiring Under Trump Goes Into Reverse #ABlueView 🧵1/2

The numbers were striking: "Forecasters had anticipated a gain of around 50K jobs. Instead, employers cut [92K], & what had looked like solid job growth in Dec. was revised to show a loss. The unemployment rate continued a slow but steady rise."

🧵2/2 Hiring Goes Into Reverse

"To most economists, the Feb. figures weren’t an easily dismissed blip, but rather part of a consistent pattern of weak hiring. Employers added just 116K jobs in all of 2025, & have cut jobs in 2 of the past 3 months."

I understand why Putin wants to destroy America, and I can guess why Trump is helping him do it. But I'll never figure out why Congress is letting him get away with it.

This 👇👇👇 is spot on. Of all the horrific things that he's done in office (1st - separation of families, children in cages who have permanently disappeared and J6, etc.) (2nd - assaulting, arresting and murdering immigrants and citizens, etc.) and this is what made him feel betrayed? WTAF?!!🤬

If you spend over 30 years crying wolf over Iran's mythological nuclear readiness, and begging for the USA to back you up in an attack on Iran; eventually a President dumb enough & desperate enough to stay in power like yourself, will eventually come along to share the lie and make that war happen..
