Together, we are bringing light to Ukraine!

Ukrainians can exchange their old bulbs at the post office for energy-efficient LED bulbs.
 
The EU is gladly providing 35 million of them.
 
Every kW of energy saved is precious to counter Russia's energy war.

@junkyardspaceship @dramypsyd I’m having a hard time finding the source (just to credit the artist) but I think it might be this? https://www.tumblr.com/speciesofleastconcern/648575884184485888

THIS.

Among those murdered in the Holocaust were 20,000 Hungarian Jews, shot on the banks of the Danube, having been forced to remove their shoes. The shoes were deemed to hold value. Sculptor Gyula Pauer’s monument is composed of 60 pairs of shoes in iron. #HolocaustMemorialDay 

The 1970's brain drain is back…says the man who is responsible for it !

My 15+ years old printer broke down. Now I am in the market for a new printer. Can you suggest one?

+ Scan and print options must

+ Linux and macOS OS support must

+ USB and WiFi (optional Eth support would be fine too)
TIA

Yesterday I was part of a group that peacefully protested the expansion of a coal mine in Germany. We were kettled by police and then detained but were let go later that evening.

Climate protection is not a crime.

The inauguration of the Esrange Spaceport is an important moment.

As the first orbital launch site on our mainland, it offers an independent European gateway to space.

The future of the EU as a space power is also written in Sweden ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1djxXlXPXZXxZ

Sweden will deliver Archer self-propelled howitzers to #Ukraine. https://www.thedefensepost.com/2023/01/11/sweden-archer-howitzers-ukraine/

‘Why are authoritarian regimes so afraid of Europe? We do not wage war, we do not impose our model. So why? Our values make them afraid.’

David Sassoli’s question now feels like a prophecy.

One year after his passing, David’s memory still warms our hearts and shows us the way.

I keep seeing articles, about people trying to violently overturn election results, that use phrases like “motivated by election lies”.

They aren’t motivated by lies, they are motivated by not liking the result. Repeating the lies just makes them feel powerful because it makes them part of the grift. They think they’re fooling people.

Blaming the lies lulls us into thinking that this is an education/disinformation problem which, if addressed, will eliminate the violence.

These folks aren’t deluded. They’ve learned from their leaders that violence and lying are the route to power.

For most of my life I thought these problems could be solved by education. I no longer do. As far as I can tell, about 30% of the population believes that getting away with grifts and bullying people is proof of power and leadership that should be respected, worshiped, and emulated.

We can’t educate these folks. We can only build a society that ensures that they cannot gain control. Unfortunately, the entire human race has largely failed to do so, and we’re suffering the consequences on a planetary scale.

Every day we act as though they don’t *know* that the elections were valid, is a day we risk losing the fight for democracy, equality, and a stable environment.
