Ich gehe mittlerweile davon aus, dass LKW in den allermeisten Fällen batterieelektrisch werden. Flüssige Kraftstoffe gibts dann nur mehr in Nischen. Wird bei LKW eventuell schneller gehen als bei PKW, weil Logistiker nüchterner rechnen, weniger emotional sind. 😉

If you are interested in thinking about borders and the Bible, here’s a new article.

It traces a complex history between the Bible and the borders of modern nation states. So it’s relevant to the challenge of Christian nationalism.

It’s also open access so take a look.

"... the world of my own language has perished"

Israel's national library in Jerusalem has Stephan Zweig's final letter before committing suicide in February 1942 and it is an eerie read in 2025.

WM-Wunderknaben und Vizeweltmeister - aber in Österreich trotzdem ohne Chance?
Wie heimische Top-Vereine und die Bundesliga ihre eigenen Talente links liegen lassen.

Mein Text dazu ist online.

WM-Wunderknaben! In Österreich ohne Chance? | WZ • Wiener Zeitung
Österreichs Fußball-Nachwuchs ist Vize-Weltmeister und eine Weltsensation. Doch ausgerechnet in der Heimat erhalten rot-weiß-rote Talente immer seltener eine Chance. Was ist da los?

Trump will Wissenschaft durch AI erzeugen lassen. Das klingt bedrohlich. Ist das der historische Wendepunkt, an dem die USA wissenschaftliche Qualität aus der Hand geben? Es liest sich nach der Cartoon-Variante von Wissenschaft, so stellen sich naive IT-Bros Forschung vor. (Thread)

It's so interesting to me how consistently students describe Pharisees with the word "strict", even when a gospel story is simply a matter of "how" to observe a given commandment. The idea of legalism is ingrained early.

Then you introduce them to the Talmud...surprise! flexibility!

Die #COP30 endet mit einem schwachen Kompromiss

Am Ende bleibt ein kleiner Schritt in die richtige Richtung, aber keiner, der der Realität gerecht wird. Solange der Ausstieg aus Kohle, Öl und Gas nicht klar festgeschrieben ist, bleiben wir hinter dem zurück, was Wissenschaft und Menschen verlangen.
Ein Deal – aber noch lange nicht das, was die Welt braucht
Auf der COP30 in Belém erzielten die Staats- und Regierungschefs einen fragilen Kompromiss: ein Versprechen, die globale Finanzierung für Klimaanpassung bis 2035 zu verdreifachen, jedoch ohne klaren F...

Come, join our Gospel of Mark session if you're around in Boston today in the afternoon!
