Nabokov's advice to foreigners learning Russian, giving pronunciation advice on how to reposition one's jaw and taking slightly sadistic pleasure in highlighting its intimidating array of verb suffixes.

@DrEliDavid @GiorgiaMeloni So many comments, and none of them about her making it look like 50% of exports go to fund French taxes. Half their foreign reserves are stored securely in France, which is completely different. It’s col. influence, sure, this + picture of a child is emotionally misleading.

Little Macron 🇫🇷 started a fight with the Italian PM @GiorgiaMeloni 🇮🇹, so she wiped the floor with him 👇

@ANTlWEF The video is from 2019 ! Posting it in 2024 and quoting it with „in Russia last year …“ is highly deceptive given the current climate and pretty much desinformation. Where are the community notes?

@Austen They run the biggest (index) funds, so people who passively invest, which is like everyone, just are indirectly represented by these funds. They kinda know what they’re doing though with their fund management xp and scale. And they’re pushing for transparent ESG reporting. Idk.

I keep looking up who the biggest shareholders of the most evil companies in the world are, and EVERY SINGLE TIME I find this so-called “Vanguard” group. Who is this Mister Vanguard, and what are his intentions? 🤔

@EU_Justice Maybe write some integration tests for your log in functionality? The same law type of law was used in Russia to track down their civil society. In Georgia hundreds of thousands protested against a similar law, with EU flags. Can we trust governments not to abuse this?

Interesting case.. will there be a counter movement against “smart, “connected” devices towards “simple”, “repairable” devices. I’d happily pay a premium for a life-long usage and repair documentations. #smartkitchen svrooij.io/2023/01/25/dis…

@KURIERat RIESENFEHLER, im Artikel der seit Stunden online steht, sind ein Faktor 10 höhere (falsche) Zahlen angegeben!! 250M Ukr Gryvna sind ca. 7M Euro nicht 70M !! Gibt ein stark verfälschtes Bild und negative Kommentare gibt es jetzt schon genug.

@TechTreesCoin @elonmusk e360.yale.edu/features/phant… maybe this can help you with the question?

@elonmusk Not sure about unlearn, but we are working for the world to learn about SDG 15.3 through the web3 way. @elonmusk what are your thoughts about tree plantation??

What lesson took you the longest to unlearn?

@llihhcruhc1 @ichbinilya Russian media just happily picked this one up, made it bigger (change context; omit own role, give own spin, e.ghuman shields), gave it a huge propaganda push in all their channels and comment farms. West is just not as well organized and playing cleaner. Just my take.

@ichbinilya Have read all these comments. Not one contradicts the AI findings. So apparently AI should not publish any facts which reflect adversely on Ukraine because Russia invaded Nonsense like that will not bolster the western support Ukraine depends on. And unfortunately its waning

I just spoke with a senior employee from Amnesty International. Their sum-up: “It’s a dark moment for the movement, there’s no other way to put it.” Also: "We threw a party the Russian state was eager to attend for its own political purposes.” More in this (long) thread 👇

@ShellenbergerMD @TwoForFooz @nntaleb If 30% of fields were dormant it makes sense that production drops, no?

@TwoForFooz @nntaleb And I acknowledge the other factors. It's just that none of them would have been enough to cause the crisis without the fertilizer ban.

This anti-green fellow is making --and promoting --claims that do not have any backup. Mr @ShellenbergerMD (not an MD), can you show us a little bit how you got the causality? Thank you.

@Lagarde @NOS @RTLnieuws @Nieuwsuur How about removing energy temporarily from inflation indices? Why should landlords earn 8% more, just because heating and transport is more expensive. Low incomes and students spend 30-50% of their income on rent. Blocking these automatic rent increases may get us out of spiral.

We are committed to take all the necessary steps to bring inflation back to our 2% target. I was happy to speak to Dutch media in Amsterdam following today's monetary policy decisions. Watch tonight on @NOS @RTLnieuws @Nieuwsuur
