Poland’s presidential election leaves the country exhausted

Ab heute bin ich (@AnjaWeinberger) für einige Zeit für den Leiermann-Account hier verantwortlich. Ich freu mich sehr.
Und zum Einstieg hab ich ein #Turmrätsel für Euch. Auf dem Weg nach #Frankreich ...
Das Bild zeigt eine imposante Kirche mit zwei hohen Türmen, die unter einem blauen Himmel mit weißen Wolken steht. Die Kirche ist aus Stein gebaut und hat eine gotische Architektur mit architektonischen Details wie Fenster und Bögen. Um die Kirche herum ist ein umfangreiches Scaffolding errichtet, das von der Firma "HEINEN-GRUPPE" hergestellt wurde, wie auf den grünen und roten Leitern zu sehen ist. Das Scaffolding umfasst mehrere Ebenen, die bis zur Spitze der Kirche reichen. Die Umgebung der Kirche ist grün, mit Pflanzen und Bäumen, die an den Wänden wachsen. Die Perspektive des Bildes ist von unten nach oben gerichtet, was die Höhe der Kirche und die Größe des Scaffolding betont.

It’s paradoxical talking about the Holocene in the past tense because its conduciveness is still with us. Just about.
But, for example, in the 19th Century, my home city of Portsmouth set in motion the practices that produce a very high probability of Portsmouth not existing within a time frame shorter than the history of Portsmouth.
That this span of time is longer than a few human lifetimes doesn’t change the deterministic outcome mastodon.social/@urlyman/11460…
Jonathan Schofield (@urlyman@mastodon.social)
…Commerce has exploded in scale because of the repeatability the Holocene afforded (and destroyed the Holocene in doing so: https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/113418092160261128).Mastodon
…probably not all of it in that time frame. That’ll take a lot longer.
But in much less than 800 years, it seems likely that enough of Portsmouth will be inundated for it to cease to be viable in the way that it has been since Henry VIII watched the Mary Rose sink from Southsea Castle
…I do find it bizarre that a city so obsessed with its own Naval significance is so committed to sinking it.
The problem is, Portsmouth doesn’t think much about its paradoxes at all.
It invites the world’s largest cruise ships in. It provides a home to fantastically engineered white elephants (aka aircraft carriers), dependent upon 4 million litres of bunker fuel each.
And pretends that raising its seafront by 1 metre is job done.
It’s fucking insane levels of hubris

La copertina del libro "La donna della palude" di Liza Marklund presenta un'illustrazione evocativa. In primo piano, un ramo di albero nodoso si estende verso il basso, con una mobile sospesa che contiene una luna, una stella e nuvole, simboli di un'atmosfera notturna e misteriosa. Sullo sfondo, una luna piena illumina il cielo, mentre un paesaggio innevato e un'abitazione isolata si stagliano contro il blu scuro del cielo. Il titolo del libro è scritto in bianco e giallo, con il nome dell'autrice in bianco in alto. Sotto il titolo, un sottotitolo in italiano recita: "Un mistero mai risolto scuote la cittadina di Stenstråsk, al circolo polare artico." In basso, il nome dell'editore "Marsilio Farfalle" è stampato in bianco. L'immagine evoca un senso di mistero e suspense, in linea con il tema del libro.

in recent years, he accused some dude of cheating, and then quit another match with the guy after one move
he also ragequit a match because they told him he can't wear jeans (granted i agree with him on that, and they changed the dress rule)
and there's the whole quitting the world championship, because he says it's too much exhaustive opening moves research nowadays
i think magnus is definitely in ego land

in reply to Andy Lee • • •if it was Hans he would have stabbed him the neck
but yeah, this was Magnus frustrated with himself, he gave Gukesh due respect
apparently it was Magnus's game too, and then he blundered the endgame and Gukesh pounced, so Magnus's frustration with himself was understandable
