It's Monday. If you hate your job and think it's pointless, consider that at least you don't work for the Belarusian election commission.

Just a reminder that there were people claiming Syrian refugees were 'economic migrants' and it was perfectly safe for them to go back... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Har netop hørt københavnere brokke sig over, at DR er for blåt, samtidig med at deres samtale var fyldt med akademikerbashing.

MPs have backed Sarah Olney’s bill on proportional representation. This is a historic moment in the campaign for a fairer voting system.



Today, as we have done for a century, Liberal Democrats are leading the fight for fair votes and making sure that no one can be ignored in our democracy.

Syrian rebels are trolling me that they re-captured Aleppo in 3 days and I can't get Kiev after more than a 1000.

I remain a master strategist.

The election in Romania is actually proving to be one of the most interesting ones in recent times. With just 0.13% left to count, the difference between Lasconi (USR) and Ciolacu (PSD) is less than 1k votes

Mayan civilization may have grown thanks to bulk fishing. Using drones, archaeologists have mapped dozens of 4,000 year-old fish-trapping facilities in the rivers of Belize. Look at this! Ancient people could have fed a population of over 10K with this complex system. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Linear wetland features identified in remote sensing data as probable fish-trapping facilities from areas across the Maya Lowlands. An overview map (top) with inset maps below showing linear channels identified in (A) the Candelaria and neighboring San Pedro Drainage, (B) the Rio Hondo and Bacalar, and (C) the New River and Western Lagoon in the CTWS (all images courtesy of the BREA project). Abstract Multiproxy data collected from the largest inland wetland in Belize, Central America, demonstrate the presence of large-scale pre-Columbian fish-trapping facilities built by Late Archaic hunter-gatherer-fishers, which continued to be used by their Maya descendants during Formative times (approximately 2000 BCE to 200 CE). This is the earliest large-scale Archaic fish-trapping facility recorded in ancient Mesoamerica. We suggest that such landscape-scale intensification may have been a response to long-term climate disturbance recorded between 2200 and 1900 BCE. Agricultural intensification after 2000 BCE has been credited for supporting the rise of pre-Columbian civilizations in Formative Mesoamerica, but we suggest that some groups relied more heavily on the mass harvesting of aquatic resources. We argue that such early intensification of aquatic food production offered a high value subsistence strategy that was instrumental in the emergence of Formative period sedentarism and the development of complexity among pre-Columbian civilizations like the Maya.

I can't possibly be the only one to look at the Romanian presidential elections this evening and be positively surprised at USR's support.

A second round between PSD and USR would be refreshing

It's a fairly fun tale ngl

It’s all in the telling.
Dear Santa: When I was a child, my father cheated on my Mom. Later, my parents divorced. Soon after, my mother died in a car accident My brother and I could only live in my grandma's old house. Grandma's sister was an alcoholic. The whole family lived on my grandma's savings. Grandma recently died. My Uncle Andy is barely keeping himself out of jail from day to day. My brother left home and won't talk to us any more. Dad, now 74, had to go out to work to support the family and eventually he is going to want me to do the same thing. Yours sincerely.

Forsøgsordningen med skolemad er en fantastisk begyndelse, der vil give familier et større overblik om morgenen samt give en skattelettelse i bunden af samfundet.

Det kan kun være positivt:)
