I know many of you remember this story.
This is baby Nazar, six months old. A Russian strike killed his mom, Tetiana (she was pregnant with Nazar), and injured his dad, Vadym.
Nazar is recovering, cared for by his aunt. He will never know his mom.

Kharkiv 💔
Yesterday night, russians killed 13‑year‑old Lisa Polyanska and her mother by striking a five‑story residential building with a missile. This terrorist attack by Russia also killed nine of their neighbors🕯
Bastards. Terrorists.
Kharkiv 💔
Today, 9‑year‑old Gordiy was killed together with his mother Olena when a Russian missile struck a residential building.
The tragedy was reported on the page of the Ukrainian Ice Hockey Federation:
“Gordiy was a sincere, kind, and open boy who loved hockey, his team, and training.

Oh yeah this is super cool as both the pygmy long-fingered possum and ring-tailed glider were previously only known from fossils 🤯🧪🐀

The Ukrainian team was forbidden to use their uniforms with a map of Ukraine at the 2026 Paralympics.
Allegedly, this uniforms conveys a political message.
The team's uniform contained an image of Ukraine within the 1991 borders (see image).
To be honest, this is starting to be outrageous.

“I left my Manhattan apartment for Ukraine’s front lines. Now I’m fighting drones.”
Viktoriia Honcharuk quit her dream job at Morgan Stanley in 2022 to become a combat medic. She evacuated up to 100 wounded soldiers a week from one of the war’s deadliest fronts, The Times. 1/
His argument is utter bullshit:Training a modern LLM is estimated to require 60 GWh.The energy need to "grow" a 20y adult can be estimated to be less then 15MWh. Thus it is a factor of 4000 less. And the only thing LLMs do is statistical generation of text, based on massive amounts of training data.
Yuliia Keleberda will remain 23 forever. She was killed by a Russian drone that attacked the evacuation unit “White Angels.” Her colleague, Yevhen Kalhan, was killed alongside her. Another police officer sustained injuries.
I have often written about the work of the police unit “White Angels"
#CumEx und #CumCum: Milliarden sind verschwunden – und niemand will etwas damit zu tun haben?
In der Markus Lanz-Sendung von gestern Abend macht Anne Brorhilker klar, was diese Steuerstraftaten wirklich bedeutet haben. Milliardengewinne für die Täter - auf unsere Kosten. ⬇️
Wir müssen als DAAD unsere Arbeit in Russland einstellen, nachdem das russische Justizministerium uns am 10.2. zur „unerwünschten Organisation“ erklärte. Das DAAD-Büro in Moskau sowie das vom DAAD verantwortete „Deutsche Wissenschafts- und Innovationshaus“ (DWIH) Moskau werden geschlossen.
Textausschitt von Bild.de: Berlin - Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz (70, CDU) zieht bei Steuererhöhungen eine rote Linie - und verpasst dem Koalitionspartner SPD eine deutliche Abfuhr. Die Sozialdemokraten wollen Spitzenverdiener und Erben stärker zur Kasse bitten. Doch Merz macht im Podcast Machtwechsel" klar: Schluss mit lustig! Schon jetzt sei die Belastung enorm. Mit Reichensteuer, Kirchensteuer und Solidaritätszuschlag komme man bereits auf fast 50 Prozent, so der Kanzler. Seine klare Ansage: „Mehr geht nun wirklich nicht." Und weiter: „Die Zitrone ist ziemlich ausgequetscht."
Merz erweckt hier mal wieder den falschen Eindruck, dass in Deutschland Steuern von fast 50 % aufs Einkommen bezahlt werden. Aber das ist ja nur der Grenzsteuersatz, der auf den letzten Euro bezahlt wird. Der durchschnittliche Steuersatz liegt auch bei hohen Einkommen weitaus niedriger. (1/5)
💔 This night, the Russians killed three brothers in Ukraine — an eight-year-old and two 19-year-old.
The mother and grandmother were injured. The photo shows what remains of their family home in Kramatorsk after the Russian “Shahed” strike.

I have one question: why so much pessimism?🙂↔️ I mean, it would make more sense to be pessimistic in the country which fights for its survival🫥
The entire day I've been thinking of them. They had just bought a new house and were preparing to do the housewarming, settling in, and awaiting the birth of another baby.
Last night, a russian Geran-2 strike hit their home directly, killing 34yo father Hryhoriy and their 3 small children.
Charkiv, Bohoduchiw - Kindermörder russland 🤬
Nach einem russischen Drohnenangriff auf ein Wohnhaus, bargen Rettungskräfte 4 Todesopfer: einen Mann (34) und drei Kindern (zwei einjährige Jungen und ein zweijähriges Mädchen). Zwei weitere Menschen wurden verletzt, darunter eine schwangere Frau (34).
😭 Two one-year-old boys and a two-year-old girl were killed by Russians in Kharkiv region, — Regional State Administration
A 34-year-old man who was with his children in a private house also died from his injuries.
74-year-old woman was injured.
As a parent of young kids, I couldn’t agree more with this chart by the ingenious @instachaaz.
The bodies of a mother and her 11‑year‑old daughter lay in black bags on the ground‼️
Russia killed them by bombing their home in Sloviansk - a place where they should have been safe.
Can we say with confidence that we, Ukrainians, have coped with this winter as well as possible There is no simple answer. However, everyone did everything possible-both for themselves and for others.
Aktuelle Nachrichten: Ein AfD-Politiker darf wegen Mordes nicht zur Wahl antreten, ein anderer wird verdächtigt, seine Frau mit Baseballschläger verprügelt zu haben, andere, ihre Familie auf Steuerkosten eingestellt zu haben.

I had intended to post something about this new Google DeepMind paper that appeared yesterday in Nature, but the press coverage has added to what there is to say. So this is a long 🧵

AfD-Großspenden: Explosionsartiger Anstieg.
Wie der Faschismus finanziert wird? Unter anderem durch Großspenden, die alles bisherige sprengen.
Pikant: 95% der Spenden kommen von 3 Großspendern, bei 2en besteht der Verdacht von Strohmannspende.
Danke @lobbycontrol.bsky.social fürs Flaggen.
Die Tatsache, dass es fast überall in Berlin so aussieht und Wetterseiten von "wenig bis keine Glätte" sprechen, sagt alles darüber aus, WIE auto- und straßenfixiert unsere Gesellschaft ist...
#Kyiv residents share pictures of their frozen homes and how they try to heat them.
After Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, electricity and heating are scarce in Kyiv.
A new wave of very cold weather is expected by the end of the week.
