Zustandsbericht: #Wald so krank wie nie 😥

Der Zustand des deutschen Waldes hat sich 2020 weiter verschlechtert. Die Ergebnisse der #Waldzustandserhebung im vergangenen Jahr gehörten zu den schlechtesten seit Beginn der Erhebung im Jahr 1984, sagte Bundesagrarministerin Klöckner bei der Vorstellung des Berichts. Nur noch jeder fünfte #Baum hat eine intakte Krone.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you can delete those downloaded podcast episodes you’ll never get to, unsubscribe from that podcast you “should” like, and even skip that episode of your favorite podcast that’s about a subject that’ll stress you out!

Looking for an alternative to a David Brooks article...

Someone on a project I'm in wants to cite David Brooks's 2020 piece "The Nuclear Family Was a Mistake" which is honestly... pretty good for Brooks?

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/03/the-nuclear-family-was-a-mistake/605536/

But I know that this has been said before and better by POC and I am looking for a good piece on the subject to support the concept of extended family/kinship/chosen family networks vs. focus in nuclear family.

Boosts ok/appreciated!

Ein schönes Bild. Genau so stelle ich mir die Zukunft der Autobahnen vor.

Hier: die ehemalige, nie vollendete Autobahntrasse der "Stecke 24", die wegen des Beginns des 2. Weltkriegs nie vollendet wurde.

"It would be a pity if the semantic web, through lack of quality control and diffuse dysfunction, contributed not to greater knowledge, but to greater ignorance."

It is a bit surreal:
healthcare workers in hospitals post selfies showing them exhausted and with marks from wearing PPE for hours and hours in their faces on social media.

meanwhile germans <s>debate</s> whine because they think it's not ok to ban individually fired fireworks and firecrackers on new years eve

I'd say let your local hospital workers decide if individually firing explosives while drunk is fine with them, or not.
