There may be those in Europe who are less than forceful... but this is the Chair of Austria's "NATO Enlargement Committee”. And he's not taking any shit from the USA. If they attack or otherwise “acquire" Greenland, then Europe will take control of all […]

For this year's #25DaysOfFishmas we're going to go in roughly chronological order, from the oldest lineages of fish to the present. We're kicking off, then, with a truly ancient and utterly bizarre animal - this is the Queensland Lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri.

I recently came across this image and it’s a great way to summarize how I feel about my work. Whether supporting other consultants through resources or referrals, or supporting people in their data management work, helping to lift other people up benefits us all.

As an #rstats user, I am proud of my #python brothers and sisters for standing up for their community. It's a shame they won't have these resources, but community is and always has been what makes a language great. Today the python world stood up for theirs

Dorsch und Hering stehen in der Ostsee vor dem Aussterben. Die letzten Fische werden weggefangen, bevor sie sich fortpflanzen können. Wir brauchen ein Fangmoratorium und ein striktes Verbot der Grundschleppnetzfischerei, die den Ostseeboden zerstört.

Rund um das Wrack der Ostsee-Fähre "Estonia" gilt ein Tauchverbot. Nach Recherchen von WDR, NDR und SZ besteht jedoch der Verdacht, dass Russland den Ort für Unterwasserspionage gegen die NATO nutzt.

In exchange for not sending Tomahawks, I promised Donald I would give up land Russia does not control in Zaporizhzhia & Kherson. In return, Ukraine would give Russia land we also do not control in Donbas.

Donald and the art of the deal.

1/2. The phrase "land swap" is being used to mean "Ukraine concedes land illegally occupied by Russia and also concedes territory that is not even occupied." That is not a swap.
